Welcome.
If you already have a boat try living aboard. Other people's pros & cons are of no importance.

 

[dnickj]

well my wife and i are moving on board permanently as of tomorrow and cast off to sail round the UK in a weeks time - so i will let you know as they happen

Where is your boat?

If it's in the UK, it's all Cons.

If it's in the Med, it's all Pros.

Simple!

Welcome to YBW.

We are fortunate to already own a boat. Fully intend to sell the kids inheritance (house) at some point and me and the missus live on the boat and use it as our pension, probably heading off in to the sunset somewhere nice (which doesn't neccesarily mean outside the UK!). If I were you I'd go for it. You need to scratch the itch, I don't think you would be dissappointed. It'll be full of compromises if you do but thats just life..... ;-) Welcome to the forum, there are a diversity of behaviours and individuals on here, you can work out the rest .

Welcome & Greetings from Faro.
10 years Liveaboard in July. There are only pros once you leave UK.

Welcome, and remember if you don't like the neighbours you can move at a whim...enjoy!

 

[SV HAPPY MONDAYS]

You are correct....... it was just some fun and it seems the answer is to leave blighty

Surely, since you worked in the prison service, you'd know more about cons than we do?

And welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the mad house

 

[SV HAPPY MONDAYS]

Great good luck will keep an eye out for you

Welcome.

Since it's small inside a boat, living aboard is better seen as living abroad.

 

[SV HAPPY MONDAYS]

Ha Ha thanks pal :encouragement:

 

[SV HAPPY MONDAYS]

Yes you would think so

Hi, and welcome - like your user name. Hopefully soon everyday will be happy.

Lived on board on and off for the last 15 years and wouldn't change it but winter afloat in Plymouth in 2002 convinced us to move to warmer climes for the colder months so now 2 boats (UK & Iberia) and 1 static caravan (UK); no house or car, works just fine for us.

Very best of luck for the great adventure.
