Capsco. You are always welcome to come out with us on the Thames! I hope things work out better than you currently feel they will.
I've never regretted getting a boat, I've been boating for a majority of my life as my dad used to build them as a 'hobby' many many years ago.
Only thing I will say is that I've been in a few marinas with a level of petty politics and clicky groups and snobbery which is disappointing. But apart from that boating is just the best 'hobby' you could ever wish to have. Shame neither of my kids like it any more (Broadband not fast enough I suspect) but it is one of the few places where you can truly relax. My mum always used to say that it added years to my dads life as he was in such a stressful job being the personnel manager for British Steel during the troubled years, which is why it was difficult reading Capscos post. You are just at one with nature and the elements wherever you are be it fresh or salty. I just adore it.
