Friends of ours do it, 90 days in 90 days out but they leave theirs in a marina.
They plan a rough route and find a marina near the end of their 90 days to leave the boat. Doesn't cost them loads compared to UK prices.
That would work quiet well for us, the cost of a marina at uk prices would be a worry for me not having an endless budget .

As we're no longer in the EU you're going to have to comply with the EU Visa rules :
"Under the terms of Schengen, non-EEA nationals cannot spend more than a total of 90 days within a total period of 180 days without a visa. Furthermore, once you've used up your quota of 90 days, you cannot return to Schengen until 90 more days have passed."
So You can boat for 90 days, then you have to come back to the UK for 3 months and then you can go back again.
Yes that is doable, But what do i do with me boat, Would you have a permanant mooring or could you leave moored up in a unrestricted area ( or anywhere else without falling foul of the authorities )

Yes i was thinking of this & if i have to have a mooring or take it out of water etc. Or any other round the Brexit problem.

I am Interested in boating in France ! I.E. buying my own boat etc, boating & living on it for all the year long, How much is the costs, what are the rules, Do you have to have moorings, or keep moving on. Or anything else that might trip me up.

Yes, but that is not what you said is it.?
This is one of the things that gets my goat.
Why couldnt the UK just take a unified position? On all aspects of managing the pandemic?
Yes BUT you have got those two muppets Dom & Bo running your world ! And we got Mark & Nicola running our world thankfully. !!

He's just thick.
This is going to sound awfully snobby, but I've taken to doing my single weekly shopping at a quiet time in a nearby M&S food. It's expensive but they have everything I want and the high prices seems to put off the majority of brain dead idiots. Everyone in there so far has been very considerate, and the aisles are wide. The only exceptions being people who don't need to be shopping at all. In front of me in the queue the other day was a man who was buying an orchid. Nothing else, just an orchid. Presumably an ESSENTIAL orchid. Anyway, I don't mind spending more on food right now. I'm not spending money on anything else, so I may as well have nice food.
A guy up the street in the village as been reported to police for visiting Spar five times in the day to buying a scratch card ! ( But that must of been an ESSETIAL Scratch Card )

There are many views in this present emergency. Nearly a 1000 people have died within the last 24 hours in this country. There is a certain responsibility on all to follow the guide lines laid down by the Government to reduce the spread of the virus. Travelling for supplies or walking for exercise are considered important, but cruising for pleasure is not the best. This virus is a silent killer. If the more virulent strain strikes on board a boat, the crew could be seriously ill, or worse, before discovery. So it has a lot to do with everybody!
Sorry but this country is full of arrogant morrons who think it won't effect them !! And sod what anyone else thinks . ?

You rarely see a white line down the middle of the canal - is this another new idea from C&RT.
Yea, White Line And Catseyes !!! ?? !!!

Either a chance for six months free boating or a dimwit asking for their licence to be revoked. "Or so ' is a bit dubious though.
Dimwit or Fuckwit !! You Choose ! ????

I am not sure how CRT would stand legally moving a boat without the owners permission if it wasnt obstructing the navigation and they hadn't reached that point in the S8 removal path
If they have broke there T & Cs , Which they clearly have ! By blocking Visitors Moorings ( For a long, long time, can't how they could possible complain. )
Permission long gone sorry ! ............Move it Out of the way.............. -

What is of particular concern to you ?
1 A boat being moored in excess of 14 days.
2 Not displaying a current license.
3 Failure of CRT to take action.
4 Concern for an incoming boater denied access.
5 The rule to limit moorings to 14 days.
6 The loss of license fee to CRT.
7 Other ??
All the Above !! This is shamefull behaviour by everyone involved , It does nothing for the rightful boater that pays it's dues, It does nothing for 'CRT. our poor charity '
Visitor mooring are for Visiting ( 24hr or 14 day winter ) At lest That is what i paying my licence FOR ! ! ! ! ? ? ?

I came down that track Last Summer in me old transit !! would not like to bring a 4 wheeler lorry down there !! An artic ? Fair play to get that Far !!!
-
Just a thought ! How much would it cost to have it done by a surveyor ?? A RCD etc.
-
Just constant cruise can be as near or as far from home as you want ! Don't like covering the same ground twice !!

ISTR he fired at a shadowy figure in the dark.
Only later was it established which way he was facing..... just sayin'.
That would of been my argument in defense !!

Not down here on the K&A they're not. They're all reserved for CRT winter moorings!
Avoid the K & A plenty of other Canals, Just as nice or nicer !! Remember you are a CC'er !

Sad sad Day, RIP. Jo. Cox MP. RIP.

The difference lies in the longer game. Agreed, one single boater CMing causes no harm.
But sooner or later, others see the advantage and pitch up too. Eventually a handy area is filled with static boaters each individually causing no harm, but collectively they have stuffed the canal. And all the time, the boaters nearby who play the game and pay for a home mooring feel faintly like idiots for paying for a mooring instead of claiming their own bit of free towpath too.
!00% agree !! CRT Have be be in a strong position to enforce ALL rules Or 5 /10 years down the line they won't be able to enforce anything. one boat or 100 boats makes no matter, rules have to be enforced or or we all won't like what will happen .
