Well w “out cruis’in” we haven’t got the vaguest idea where you are.
Greetings,
Mr. MM. That's Newfoundland AND Labrador to you, mainlander.
That’s a common thing for fenders in northern climes to do.
So you’re not north.
Apparently, it was warmer in Newfoundland than Florida recently
We are liveaboards in a marina 10 miles south of Annapolis. Overnight low was 23 degrees. Cabin temp was 43 degrees when we woke up but we were warm and toasty underneath our down comforter. Turned on the reverse cycle to warm the innards to 72 degrees in a couple of hours.
Woke up to deflated fenders this morning due to cold temperatures in NE Florida. We must be too far north!
Pointing the bow south (Key Largo) to remedy this problem......
You need to fill them with winter air.
So I got the compressor out a few months ago and inflated mine. One got a little over inflated and no longer fits in the nice bracket on the foredeck.....
Anyone know how to let the air out? Sticking the "needle" in there by itself did not do the trick.
Does on mine, what make fenders? Needle all the way in?

Excellent plan!
10 degrees north, never a problem with my fenders...

Arrrgh, I feel your pain friend... I spent some time north of the Arctic Circle and while the northern lights were beautiful, I soon exhausted my supply of Akvavit and steamed south preferring the smooth aged rums and tropical fruits to polar bears and lutfisk !I'm much farther north. My fenders won't see daylight for a few months. I may jet to Key West for a sun fix. Best to you heading south!

When it gets really cold on board many compasses will grow a bubble from the oil shrinking in the cold.
