(I also have pints of seawater in my blood from generations of merchant seamen!) You must have to be so organised on board, I think I would end up with a flotilla of dinghies bobbing along behind full of wool and fabrics!

I love the traditional boatman's cabin decor, but my husband likes the modern look, so we have both in this boat. We have talked about home schooling but I think we will settle near a school when the time comes.

Peggy knows I have a particular interest as my OH lived on a narrow boat (Dutch barge actually) when his daughter was young - a similar age to Peggy's children. They gave up boat living when his daughter was 6 (she's 28 now). <br />He often says how much he loved it, it is a wonderful life, I hope you can find a way to fit into community and schools and still stay on the boat XXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-82530283587074795192011-07-27T12:16:53.184+01:002011-07-27T12:16:53.184+01:00Oh wow, really interesting!

I suppose you wouldn't have to settle down for school if you decided to home-school your children - although as they get bigger you might want the extra space from them anyway. I bet if you did settle back into a house you'd keep some of your attitude to possessions and discovering new experiences anyway.

I used to get the ferry to and from work and that's as far as it goes (and I always had to sit on the deck in case we sank).This Mid 30s Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12912056822016083189noreply@blogger.com
