Not sure where expensive comes from, but it depends if you're thinking of living aboard or just a weekend cruiser kind of affair!
Summer was lovely- open front and rear doors and a lovely cooling breeze swept the inside of the boat, not that you spend much time indoors when it's nice weather out- why would you?
I fill water every four weeks and I'm no where near empty and that takes about 40 minutes, but while that's happening I do other stuff like clothes washing or cleaning.
If the boat has a pump out tank there's boats that travel the canals that'll empty them for you, obviously costs a couple of quid.
There's also fuel boats that travel the system and you don't even need to be there for them to fill the tank for you and leave coal, you just pay online or over the phone after they do it- plus fuel from the boats is a much cheaper rate than marina's - about 10p difference in my area!
Yes I'm yet to go through winter but I'm looking forward to that roaring fire!
You're more than welcome to come up for a weekend if you wanted, so long as you enjoy a few pints and play pool!
