To each his own. I couldn’t live on an old boat, but enjoy

I understand an old boat like Minuet is not as comfortable as a modern boat be it a sailboat or a canal cruiser but it’s all I can afford and I love sailing too so I have the best of both worlds to some extent. It’s just a pity I’ll never be able to bring her down the Monty, perhaps I’ll have to trade her in and look for a small narrow boat to do that!

@@svminuet at least you are living the life you want. I begged my wife to sell everything cash out retirement invest and live off dividends. Buy a inexpensive house in a cheap corner of Canada for our stuff. Buy a nice 40ft sailboat and cruise the world. We have the money to do it until we die, comfortably. She will not leave her Toronto suburban house and the rat race she so hates so much on a daily basis. I envy you sir, something I try to never do. If I could I would….

Sun, sea n sunshine. Go on yir sel. I like a good pedal about too. I saw a bike shoehorned into your forward cabin. Happy adventures. I wonder if you'll get figs soon on your wee fig tree. 👍

Ha, that was the bike trailer! You can just about see my electric bike parked up on the canal-side in the shot of me going from the solar panels on the deck back to the cock-pit. I bought the trailer to carry the shopping, the laundry and jerry cans of diesel for the engine whilst traveling down the canals from Brittany to the med! I’m spending a lot of time in the UK at the moment to care for my parents but hope to get back to the boat as regularly as possible. Cheers for the comment!!
