    Hope all goes well for you and you enjoy life as a live-aboard. Trust you got the boat properly surveyed before purchase.

    Someone once said if you want to experience what it's like to own and live on a boat just sit fully clothed in a bath of cold water ripping up £20 notes.


    This made me laugh, I've lived on two narrow boats, one in residential moorings and one erm... not so much, and Jackos quote has definitely been my experience :D That said I did love living on a boat so it was worth it!
