Hi all, (Please let me know if there is a better place/forum to put this post - Thanks!) As the title suggests, I am looking for long term accommodation aboard a boat. I will consider any boats in livable conditions, though a narrowboat seems like the most likely candidate. The boat would ideally be within London zones 1 to 3 (I work as an Operations Manager and my workplace is situated by London Bridge), although I am open to suggestions so feel free to make any. I am looking for a room at the very least, though taking an entire boat would be ideal (I can put down a sizable deposit £1500 to £2000). I was a sea cadet when I was a boy so I have more knowledge about boating than your average Joe. I have advanced knowledge of engines and experience maintaining and troubleshooting/fixing them. I have experience piloting speedboats, and a few other motorized vessels. Moving the boat every 2 weeks is not an issue for me. Please see my spareroom ad for more information on me. (Don't worry about my budget on there, that's negotiable) http://spareroom.co.uk/3576569 If you know anyone who is looking to rent, you have somewhere to rent, or you have helpful advice - Please contact me. I'll try to keep an eye on this post for replies, but you can reach me via louis@diecastproductions (dot) com or 07449 816 761. Thanks in advance! Sorry for the long post...

Hi everyone, I currently live in a small village near the Kennet and Avon and Devizes. I have considered buying a boat for a great many years but my partner was always opposed to this. Due to our possible relationship breakdown, I am now seriously considering living on the canal. Having 2 fairly mature children I would like to stay close and help both them and my partner, trying to remain good friends if at all possible. The workshop for my Antique Restoration business is based at the family home and I nead to remain relatively near to this. I am not under any illusion as to the difference between summer/winter boating. Before I (hopefully only proverbially) "jump in", I desperately want to spend some time living on a boat. Does anyone know of an owner wishing to go away from the canal anywhere around this area (10 ish mile radius of SN10 3LF) in the next month or two? I would be flexible regarding times/dates etc. and want to have to do all the usual mundain chores required for living on the canal. I have some experience of narrowboats as far as steering and so on are concerned. I am responsible, clean, tidy and respectful of others' property. I can give references if required, including one or two from boat owners if need be. Please don't misunderstand this request; I'm trying to gain some experience before changing my lifestyle, I'm not running away from anything, not depressed, non smoker (recently reformed) and life is ok for now but I need to make a change. I hope someone can assist and look forward to hearing from anyone with ideas. Regards, Richard Powell
