Ruby prince regent

Helllo, My boyfriend and I planning to live in our tiny narrow boat on the Regents canal between Hackney and Islington. We have no mooring so would be moving every two weeks...I just want to know the ins and outs of this? How overcrownd is the canal in that area? I know it is popular but will we struggle to find (and retain places if we leave for water etc>)? How enforced is the two weeks rule? How many water, rubblish etc points are there? And anything else that you think would be useful to know Thank you so much PS. Anyone else based there who wants nice new friendly neighbours?
