Yes, our favourite country, cheap licence although it was increasing by the time we left and some great moorings in many of the cities and out in the countryside. The south was cheaper than the north. Just make sure your boat is less than 20m or it's a no no because of the Es-Trin rules which now rigourously apply to pleasure as well as commercial inland waterways boats. And yes, I know your boat is only 10m but this could be a useful bit of advice for others thinking about escaping from the UK.
