Hell All, I've done a search on the forum, but the search facility isn't casting up clear cut answers (maybe I'm doing something wrong). Anyway, I am certain this question has been asked before, but for a continuous cruiser, how do you register with a doctor and dentist, especially if you don't have anyone whose address you can use for registering (ie a friend or family member)? Also, and this too has to deal with addresses, if you turn 60 while CCing, how can you claim a bus pass if you have no fixed home on land? Another issue that deals with addresses: I have been enquiring about residential moorings at marinas and I have come across some that say outright that they will turn a blind eye to a liveaboard (or they might say something like 'it's your mooring and how much time you spend on your boat is your business'). However, to get a mooring with them one still needs to show proof of an address. In this situation, if your boat is your only home and that's why you're a liveaboard, how can you get an address, if like above, you have no friend or family member to prevail upon? Any thoughts? -
Hi there, I'm planning to buy a narrow boat and liveaboard back in my home town of London in the next few months. I'm currently pregnant with my first child and although I am living about an hour and a half away from the Hackney area I plan to move back to, I intend to be moved in and settled before I give birth. My drs surgery is in Hackney as i'm still registered to my old address and would like to stay on their books. I have arranged to have my midwife appointments in London as that's where i'll be when i'm in the later stages of pregnancy however I wondered if there will be any issues with this as my current address is in Suffolk? If anybody has experience of midwife appointments whilst living on a boat or any advice of bringing up a baby whilst continuously cruising it would be very much appreciated! Thank you x
