Yeah but the marinas are only £750 a year in Holland and just as good....?

[/ QUOTE ]I'm afraid you'll find sweeties have gone up, even in Holland and there are no permanent berths to be had for £750pa. In the marinas around the Ijsselmeer, a mooring for, say, a 30ft boat will run into several '000s, still cheaper than our South Coast but serious money nonetheless. I was talking to a raggie in Enkhuisen recently who confirmed this was what he was paying (and moaning just like a UK boater!). I get a 5-month winter mooring, inland ( and therefore cheaper) for about a grand.

1000 Euros is what I was quoted in Middleburg last summer (08) for a 37 footer.

[/ QUOTE ]Maybe. But I suspect he thought you were only staying for a fortnight, like most Brit. visitors to the south /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Of course what you'll have to remember is, that narrowboats were plying the Thames 200 years ago,

And the same ones are still on the 24 hour moorings /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
