Liveaboards

I started this blog as a hub from which I hoped to build a network of residential boat dwellers. Another plan was to try to share sources of relevent information and less useful personal thoughts. In the event this has turned into an archive of the issues that concern me as a residential boater and campaigner. I hope others enjoy and find some if not all of what I say here informative. Much of what I write about here is about British Waterways - no apologies.

Credit when due

In response to my complaint last week BW have corrected their licencing pages on the issue of eligiblity to apply for a Houseboat Certificate.
