OK, lots of comments and good points. And a couple of, although well-meant, unfair assumptions.
Specifically for blackrose and Mike;
Thanks for your input.
I actually was not planning to be on it over the winter. The flue was going to be installed in the spring due to some structural changes I was going to make before then and because I was doing it as a project while living somewhere else.
Unfortunately circumstances have suddenly changed in my life and I am homeless apart from the boat.
I did not forsee this happening.
I would ask for a little more open mindedness and compassion before jumping to an assumption. Or better yet, if its not actually useful maybe dont comment at all?
No one knows what is going on in other peoples lives and I am here for genuine practical advice during what is a really difficult time.
Thank you to those that are genuinely trying to help.
I will take another look further afield for a marina.
Okay, thank you. Really good to know!!
