Popular Post Isoult Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I'm just about to embark on 11 years aboard my ickle narrowboat. When I first came to this forum I was berated, stalked (literally) and insulted on every post I made asking for advice. I didn't listen to them and here I still am, a month away from my 11 year anniversary. ? I felt like reaching out to other people looking to start a new life aboard a boat and to show them that negative people don't have to define them or put them off. ♥️ 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it have been easier to turn the boat upside down? Seriously though, congratulations on eleven years afloat. Jen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machpoint005 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 It's not at all to my taste (I go for uncluttered/minimalist) - but it's your boat, so you were right to do whatever you wanted with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started off uncluttered and a minimalist fan but I've kind of found my thang. It's taken a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Your boat your rules. When I look at the pic I'm reminded of an old Victorian railway carraige, it looks splendid. Edited August 25, 2020 by The Happy Nomad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DandV Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Isoult, Your boat is a fascinating unique work of art in it's own right. It obviously reflects it's creator's own character. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Happened to me once with the shareboat when a "friend" decided to play a practical joke and moved my boat whilst we were shopping). ?
