I guess it varies massively. But the thought of buying something so far away would never appeal to me. Chances of being ripped off increase exponentially I suspect., before you even begin to consider the cost of relocation of the boat after purchase. But then again, that very reasoning from a lot of...

That cheered me up that did! :) As is my homebrew cider (made with asda's best (cheapest) apple juice from concentrate) which has somehow ended up being about 10% ABV instead of the intended 5% (discovered in a hilarious way I won't recount because I can't entirely remember) and of which I have slig...

Insurers sometimes require a re-rig every 10 years regardless so you might need to factor that in. Maybe you could fashion something cunning for the cockpit - maybe in practice it wouldn't be too bad - but you'd not want to have to lug large additional items around with you considering space is goin...

FWIW, my thoughts... Stuart 37 Big old boat that. No skeg for the rudder which is something a lot of people told me is important. One hit to the rudder by something in the water, on its leading edge, and your rudder shaft is bent and you can't steer. A full length skeg stops that. Two sets of spread...

Well I feel a bit better then. It's not _super_ brown. Some people do go diving here so it can't be _that_ bad I suppose. Unless they're doing it just so they can simulate the feeling of an isolation tank. I think it more likely she's a relative of a breeding mishap involving a rat and a pig to be h...

Vlad Dracule landed in Whitby as a dog from a ship wrecked on a beach within the harbour (Tate Hill Beach). Author I believe stayed in Whitby while authoring. As did Alice in Wonderland's author IIRC. It's nice. But the cliffs are made of mud and that literally makes the sea brown and the houses on ...

Cheers Catayans :) Rob - weren't you going to take a sabbatical and spend a long time afloat for a while? Things changed? That's Robin Hoods Bay btw. Near Whitby. Unfortunately no harbour so no decent sized boat can be kept here. But Whitby is only about 5 miles away so something for the future maybe.

It was awesome living on the boat but it did have its drawbacks and relief from those is pleasant. I also knew it couldn't last forever. And realistically a lot of things were on hold to some extent while we were afloat. Life was too hard for instance to crack on with any other large plan or project...
