Dave and Ann-Marie.

| Introduction | When we met we had dreams of life on a narrowboat; borrowed a boat for a couple of trips, had a hire boat holiday & said ‘One day we’ll do it’. The kids moved on & out & it was just the pension left to tie us. Then Dave got made redundant & the final tie was cut. We needed the house money to buy a boat & didn’t want to buy the first one we saw, so we bought a campervan and, in a state of freedom between mortgage & mooring fees, went on a 9-month, friends & relations tour of Europe, NZ & Aus. When we got back we went boat hunting. & found Legend, it ticked all our boxes and we moved aboard in April 2011. We’re Continuous Cruisers so we don’t have a permanent mooring & can stay up to 14 days before moving on, we’re slowly exploring the 2,000 miles of England’s waterways. This is a log of our journey; selling a house & its contents, going around the world, then learning how to live in a tin can. Time has moved on & life has evolved, we're now grandparents & are swapping our floating home for a new life in Antrim. It's another leap into the unknown & another adventure, let's see how it goes. |
