It's a private group.

We used decorative cord with fancy hooks either end.

I feel you need to take off the rose tinted spectacles. The people living on the canals come from all walks of life. I really don't understand your comment. Do you want to live amongst dossers and druggies? Are you looking for artists? Professionals, the retired? Not all will be living the life that they want, not all will be happy. Depression is common. It certainly isn't an idyllic life.

Please will you define likeminded people.

When we built our boat, three others all 58ft, were being built at the same time. One was very spacious and one was very cramped. We had so much storage we never used it all. Look at as many boats as possible and choose a design you like. Bare in mind nearly new boats are sold often because someone got the design wrong. Price may be dictated by the size of the steel sheets. We bought a second hand boat with the design we thought we wanted and did some modifications with our new boat. Your third boat will be right for you

So many boats are badly planned as mini houses, hence the number of generators running at all hours. We used 240v rarely.

We went yesterday. Definitely the best time to go.

Boatmail seems to be a good postal company. I knew the previous owner. A car can be a pain we found it easier and cheaper to hire. Good luck

There was a manhole behind the elsan at Braunston turn which we used to pump out. A connector for a pump out would have been a welcome addition.
