Happy new year everyone,

I'm looking at possibly moving to Bristol for work, does anyone know whether Portishead marina has a smattering of liveaboards?

Thanks,
David.

Super, thanks for replying. I think most marinas do but there seem to be a few who for whatever reason will not accept the odd liveaboard...

There are a few that used to be content to turn a blind eye to liveaboards until some fool started broadcasting it on the internet. :rolleyes:

A friend lost his long term home berth when that happened.

Is not that the risk we are all willing to take as most of the contracts do stipulate a max number of nights staying on board in any given period, and we just flout them?

Some people are discreet and well mannered, making it easier for the powers that be to concentrate their attention elsewhere, while others are thoughtlessly provocative, which spoils it for all.
