Above snipped in various places. I am more than happy to talk about living on a narrow boat but having a stranger stay is a different matter due to the size of the accommodation. A member of the rboa (residental boat owners association ) does do holidays on their boat for people interested in the life. Contact Val Lee 07970 652199 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was also a bit reticent after having an American from Nigeria want to rent a room. The correspondence was very amusing especially the list of furniture that they wanted to ship over. Needless to say the correspondence stopped when I asked for more than a mobile phone number as a reference. I wondered how far it would go before they gave up.
