Is there anyone out there who drinks the water in their tank or does everyone use bottled water for drinking? Anyone have one of those filters fitted to make the water in the tank drinkable ?? Shaz

Greg & Jax Just reading your posting I noticed that you intend to call your boat 'Bonnie and Clyde' which is great. I thought I would just add that if you buy a 2nd hand boat and want to rename it - tradition says it nust be out of the water. Old boaters superstition!! You'll enjoy the Macclesfield/Peak Forest its lovely! Oh and another thing to bear in mind is that you can't travel the whole canal system with a 70ft boat. I believe the locks on the Leeds /liverpool are only 62ft long. I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Shaz

[i have a Beko 15in flatscreen LCD, Philips 12v Freeview box (from Tescos) and a Gazelle 12v arial Andy where did you have your TV and ariel from?? Do you have to 'retune' the sytem all the time to align it? We want to travel around and not stay in one place too long How many channels do you get? Sorry this isn't supposed to be the Spanish Inquisition !! many thanks for you reply and to everyone else too. Very friendly and helpful site !!! Shaz

Hi to all!! Haven't seen many ladies on here so I thought I would join to build up the numbers!!! Somebody help me - have a lovely boat, 70ft trad with vintage engine! ( Only had it 6 months) Love it!! love it!Love it !! HUSBAND WONT GIVE UP THE DAY JOB !!!!!!! Couple of questions I need answering to back up my case for becoming continuous cruisers. Has anyone got a flat screen TV with Freeview - if so how does that work? What channels do you get etc? Would you change it to something else if you could?? More importantly can you get Sport channels?? What about using the Internet? What do you need for that? Any other problems we should consider - What do you do have to think about in the Winter? We have owned a boat for 9 years but this one we could easily live on. We have been out on it in the depths of Winter and its still very warm. In fact warmer than the house! Does anyone have any drawbacks to living on a boat ?? Be honest ! Shaz quote]Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away!
