If, having considered all the aforementioned pros and (very sensible) cons to all this, I find myself still wanting to do it, is finding and buying a boat with a mooring license a viable 'dip my toe in the water for a year' trial solution?
Mooring in a convenient London location would (cost-wise) basically be like paying rent for another year.
If I hate it, I sell up and go back into the rental market, safe in the knowledge that I won't be trying it again.
If I love it, I do the Continuous Cruising thing after a year of cushy marina life.
Suppose it's risky if the boat doesn't sell/sinks and suddenly I've blown the capital I spend on the boat. Also appreciate finding a suitable residential mooring could be difficult.
