Living on a boat

[mr self destruct]

I spent a week on the Norfolk Broads in a Fibreglass cruiser and the only negative I found was damp, the sides of the boats were dripping. We went in August so the ambient temperature was high so I'm assuming it was from breathing and bathing,I hate to think what it would it would be like in winter.
I went through divorce many years ago and getting restarted was a nightmare. I was very lucky my parents could help me out with the deposit for another place, something i couldn't do with my kids.
Good luck with your decision, it sounds like a lovely way to live and a great environment to bring up children.
All the best mate,  Mickey

Got to admit as much as I love boating holidays, it's this very reason I don't think I could live on one. I've been on narrowboats and done the Norfolk broads in a cruiser, and every time we end up damp. It's just part of it I suppose.
