Canal boats (narrow boats) are very popular in the uk.
They can reach a length of 72ft and make very comfortable
homes. Unaffected by the weather also.thumbs up

Ive often had dreams of doing this, actually. A different port every week sounds like fun!

I think I would prefer a houseboat type thing now though, and go travelling through the Great Lakes and up the St. Lawrence when the weather is good.

I do like the idea of hitching up outside a bar in the evenings, though!wine

Don't think I'd like to live on a sailboat, but almost got to live on a houseboat once. Was so disappointed when I didn't.
