  1. Thanks for all your answers everyone. Very informative and helpful. I'll be back. Oh no I hear them say lol
  2. That's very true. I suppose that being a liveaboard you can do as little or as much as you want. Your time is your own to learn at your own pace. The idea of joining up with someone else sounds good as Blackrose said I think the 'younger' comment may have something to do with it lol. I took to gliding ok but it still took me twice as long as the youngster's in the club!
  3. I've had the same thoughts really, but I'm reasonably fit, learning new things still seems to happen ok. I've just learned to fly gliders at 65 years old, never flown before and it keeps you pretty fit on a busy day. I'm up for the challenge and it's something I've thought about for years. In between locks, the peace, tranquility and back to nature aspect seems very appealing. Had enough of the rat-race. Good advice, thanks
  4. Yes I suppose that holding people up did cross my mind. Widebeams don't fare well with impatient people from what I've gathered
  5. Very informative. Thanks. I'm 67 with reasonable health but the 'take it slowly' seems like appropriate advice!
  6. There's not a lot of difference in licence price is there. I thought it was the length X 1.05?
  7. Thanks for the reply. You echo my thoughts but I will reserve some pennies to move the boat if needed. Rgds Mike
  8. Ideally approx 10ft 'ish'. I would feel more comfortable taking up a bit less space on the narrow sectionso of canal and 10ft still gives ample room for 'space' Length 57' or less Ideally use south till area covered then ship boat to the north Thanks for answering
  9. Hi all. I've come to the oracle for some initial help I've been thinking about living on a boat for a long time and hope to make it a reality asap. I would dearly love to live on a widebeam but I will be single-handed. This will make locking a laborious task I'm thinking. Is there anyone on here that may be in the same position as I hope to be, that could provide advice on this. Thanks in advance Mike
