This was our barge ,but minus the cargo, that we sailed back from the north of Holland to Plymouth before we started the conversation

I bought after it had been retired out of cargo , and did the conversion over 5 years.

Thanks to every one for your reply's ,please keep the coming, this was our first Barge

Well not exactly new to barging, as such, 30 years ago we bought a Dutch Luxe motor and sailed it back from Holland to Plymouth , and spent many years converting it , after 15 years we sold it to move back to bricks and mortar. Now at the age of 74 and 76, and with all the usual aches and pains that go with us old folk's, we have got the idea that maybe we should give a wide barge a go . BUT , DO WE DO IT ?? , we don't want to stay in one place as we did before , as our barge was 104 ft long . So how hard is it to find a long term mooring , but still go travelling for the summer , but come back , as we feel at our age we need to have some security, i.e doctor or even hospital appointments, etc. Any suggestions or ideas from , lets say the slight elder members of the liveaboard's forum might just help us to take the plunge again , or not of course

Thanks for your reply's, the one from Howard is good

Please can you give me an idea how wide are 10 ft barges on the inside, on average.
