I looked into a narrow boat about 6 years ago - had an idea that I wanted to live on the Grand Union at Fenny Lock or thereabouts. I hadn't reckoned on the waiting list for a permanent mooring, or the costs. There is some archaic law that says you can't moor in the same section for more that 12 hours I think it is, although you can travel from one to another and back again and that's you for another period - apparently the Waterways people are really hot on people mooring 'illegally'
Anyway, that all put paid to the fantasy. That and the thought of a brutal Winter on water!
Good luck!
