carlt Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 answers here please I did for 10 years. Been a year on dry land now and I'd move back on a boat tomorrow if there was a non-BW waterway near enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valrene9600 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 All day & all night i float around and throughout the year travel many a pound. Never again will i live on solid ground. C/Cs are the lucky boaters, not special but bloody lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 We live aboard at the moment, but whether or not we'll be able to continue to afford to pay residential mooring fees etc. only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melders Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I'm curious as to how many boat owners, either live aboard or not, are quite happy to never actually move their vessel. You know, just treat it as as their floating cottage in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us that'd defeat the point of having a boat, but each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomandsophie Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Liveaboard for 2 and a half years so far and loving it. We move our boat regularly - we have a mooring on the River Avon in the summer and on the K&A in the winter. Brilliant. Houses? What's the point?
