Thanks, I'll look into it. I would still prefer to go along with someone who I could ask questions to.

Moderation seems to be getting out of hand everywhere. Any update on the single hander?

I must admit that I'm curious what this guy got banned for. Thanks! I'll send you a PM so you don't have to share your itinerary with the whole world.

I am quite interested in this suggestion, but I am unsure about where I would have to meet up. As I recall the waterways go from Rugby to Ely and then down to Cambridge, which means either you'll pick me up at Ely or drop me off at Ely? I also saw that you're selling your narrowboat, with mooring in Oxford. I used to live around those parts and wouldn't mind living there again, albeit on a boat. Is it still for sale?

Thank you, this would be much appreciated!

Community boats! I have not heard of these, but sounds like a great idea.

Yes, I have, but apart from the difficulty of finding a second person (which the hiring companies seem to require), I would like to have someone I could ask questions to and just observe how they live in general.

Yes, indeed. I have probably watched well over a hundred already, so have a good feel for it already.

Haha. I only do pump-outs. Kidding aside, sounds fair to me.

Hello all, I would very much like to experience life on a narrowboat and if someone would offer their time to show me what life is like on the water, I would be most grateful, even if it is just for a day. I am considering moving onto a narrowboat for an extended time, but need some hands-on experience before I can decide whether I want to make such a dramatic leap. I live in Cambridge. Thanks in advance
