Southsea marina. Lived aboard there for a few years. Lovely people, good bar, and excellent curry on site. What more could you ask for?

We used an LED anchor light. Hardly used any power at all

Let me start by saying "ruddy banks" and perhaps you'll get the tone of my problem. I've been told by my bank that because I don't have a uk property that they are closing my account. Now I'm sure that I'm not the only person in the world that lives on a yacht without a uk home that needs their...
