managed that!


Well, I managed to work out how to post a photo, so things are going well!

I started this new life in January, during the coldest and snowiest winter in 18 years. I moved onto the boat in the middle of nowhere with the heating out of action and without knowing really anything about living on a boat. I was frozen in until Feb 17th, when I finally made it to my current mooring at Barton Marina. In the first month I also nearly sunk the boat due to a leaky weedhatch, I had friends come up from Devon 3 times to try to help me move the boat, only to give up because of the weather and stoppages on the canal. I did wonder whether I had made a huge mistake! But even with this start, it was better than the life I had just left. More of that another day.
