Frankly Dave, you'd be doing your friend a favour by trying to dissuade her from this. Living on a narrowboat is not a viable option nowadays as BW begin to tighten the screws on residential boaters. And it's not going to get any better so unless you have an approved residential mooring in place I'd tell her not even to think about it. Even then, I'd tell her to spend a couple of weeks on a boat in the winter before she commits. It's all very pretty in the sun with the flowers out, but the cut can be a different place when it's dark at 3pm and you're knee-deep in mud, struggling to generate enough electricity for light.
