Crikey, and still this thread rolls on but all in all quite interesting and answered all I wanted to know so thanks folks! Malc

How would I have that if I lived on a cruising boat and why should anyone insist on that re CC?

Well, like a few others I'll be buying mine with money left in my father's will, thought about naming it in some way after him, he had no interest in boating and was frightened of water although his surname was SHIPP so that gives a whole heap of possibilities!

Not if it meant driving back over the area already covered that could take several days, if I nip off on holiday elsewhere I'd like to come back and just continue the journey where I left off.

Its being sold on behalf of someone else, I'm not dealing with either of those chaps, tis a lady.

Already been onboard it and tried bargaining but they not shifting, of course it might be different in 4 weeks time when I actually have the funds in the bank!

Completely lost me now!

I may have asked that question but I didn't say I wanted to or had any intention of doing it. I'm new to boating and want to learn stuff. I'm planning to go exploring for a year and live onboard but after that I'll probably get a mooring or if its not for me then I'll sell up having had my adventure. I was concerned that 'should I desire' to bugger off on holiday somewhere else during that year for longer than 14 days I'd get into trouble and didn't know whether having a mooring somewhere would give me different rights to moor up on the towpath, I wasn't saying it should or it shouldn't, just asking if it would. Hope I cleared that up, now can someone please sell me their Aqualine Canterbury for under £100k please. What on earth is a galvanic isolator?

Where did I say I wanted to stay anywhere longer than 14 days? Opened a right hornets nest here didn't I? I'll see if I can think of another innocent question that causes the same amount of fun! Cheers Malc

I beg your pardon?

Depends how many bridge hops you are from my previous mooring

I have no clue where those places are but I'm guessing there are lots of bridge hoppers around there and so folk are beginning to assume that's what I plan to be, fair enough! I'll be somewhere between Bristol, Reading and Oxford generally!

No no please don't let anything ignite, it was just a query and nothing more, I'm planning to go on a continuous cruise and well within the BW requirements but wondered what would happen if I wanted to shoot off on holiday (from my cruising holiday) for more than 2 weeks, but I'm sure I'll have a list of friends that will be glad of a free boating holiday! Cheers Malc

Thanks, that answered all I wanted to know so it doesn't have to go on forever, was just curious to know if the rules were the same or whether having a mooring somewhere entitled you to something more than a CCer. Cheers Malc

Hi All Done lots of research on this forum and its been useful but I don't seem to get on so well with the search option. Anyhow, I was wondering, if you did have a mooring somewhere but went for a big continuous cruise and barely clapped eyes on it, are the rules the same for you as they would be a CCer with no mooring (ie: still only get 14 days on the towpath) and is there any stipulation that your boat has to be at its mooring for a set period or set amount of time?
