river Lea Navigation - happy to help with stuff so I can learn things

[Landsil]

Hi,

My wife and myself are planning on getting our own boat and we are trying to learn as much as we can while saving money.

We are in Edmonton and happy to grab a train somewhere along the Lea Navigation to experience some narrowboating and learn things.

 

Not sure what that could involve, I guess we can help with locks if someone is leaving or coming to London that way. I don't think people do a lot of non-emergency work in that weather?

She is an artist and I did few years in a proper shipyard loooong time ago so not sure if any of that is useful in a huge way.

Day to day we do various computer stuff, I'm actually fine with fixing someone's computer while we travel and they teach me about engine or water or solar or anything.

 

I'm open to any suggestions really, worst case it will turn out it was a horrible idea

London Boaters.org might be a better place to try, most based in your area.

Yup, I've seen that.

Not really better, either you lose privacy and it can be full of malware or you lose privacy and support a horrible company. I'm not opening account with either.

I guess I'm stuck here for now.
