Hi all,
Here I come, out of the lurking mode again. This reminds me of my brother-in-law. I only surface when I want something. Anyway, all of the comments about the rising cost of boating in the land of British Waterways have got me thinking (a somewhat unusual occurrence these days). We are Yanks who are officially continuous cruisers. In actuality, we cruise April, May and June, and then September, October and November. In between those times, our boat is moored in various marinas. As you could guess, it is actually more expensive for us to be off the boat than on it. We've chosen not to have a home marina because we like to move around a lot. Like good continuous cruisers. So the question is, is there a market for a boat share situation that would fill in the months that we are back here in Chicago? Our narrowboat is 4 1/2 years old, 59 feet long, Beta 43, fixed cross double, convertible settee, semi trad. No Smoking. No pets. She's called Rhapsody and is listed on the Pennine Waterways site. What are the issues/concerns of a small boat share? Insurance? License? We're not ready to make this move quite yet. Just kind of thinking out loud. By the way, I really like this site. It helps keep me involved with the canal system while we're 4000 miles away. Some day I'd like to meet some of you characters. Thanks again for your help. It isn't the first time. Cheers, John (and Ann) Glaves nb Rhapsody ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
