Really weird but always wanted to live on a boat but never thought it possible so never really looked into it.
Anyway through a friend of a friend I have unexpectedly been offered a place to moor a possible houseboat.... It is a Mud Mooring e.g. it would sit in mud for half the time while the tide was out and raise up a bit (but only a few feet) as the tide comes in.
I am googling away and although the sensible me is saying don't be a knob, the knob part of me is saying fucking why not .
I have no form of a boat at this point but am finding myself searching all over in a sort of pipe dream sense.
Do any of you lot have any experience in boats, converting boats to living in etc... any tips advice or DO NOT do it pointers appreciated.
Have lived on a boat for about 2 weeks previously and it is deffo for us as a family, but am very nervous on the other hand. Just spent 2 nights down there and it is stunning. Apart from when the dog fell in the mud/clay and looked guilty as fuck as if to say she was pushed, she also took exception to a seal... I think she thought it was a shaved dog.
The place in question has very lax rules... some people have got a pitch then just built a floating house etc. When I say house I mean they appear to have bought a boat and put a really shit B&Q shed on it and live in it :-)
