Got to get the boat yet - I know very little about them so I am taking my time doing research.

It is a bit of a minefield so I keep going to the local marina and looking at them and talking to people. I can't afford a new one so will have to get a floating wreck that needs work and will have to get an expert to check it over before I buy. Got a maximum of £30,000 so not going to get a floating palace Very Happy

Oh and this will make you sick.
I was working in isbellaw and staying at enniskillen in ireland.
in the evening the guy who owns plant said about boats.
he could tell I was intrested.
took me a phew miles up road.
there was his and his sons boat with there names they picked.
I was like oh my days and there inside the marina.
Then he said if you like these check out or new ones.
well we went to the water and oh my days.
I said how on a earth do you afford to pay for these 4 boats marina fees.
he just laughed.
he said to me its free.
then I could see by how people were towards him, he owned it.
this guy got rich by starting to do fancy wood woork when he was young.
you should see his factory I installed the plant in.
by god it was huge.

yep - some people live in a different world.

I've never really been into yachts etc but I have wanted a narrow boat for about 10 years.

I'm going to sell the house and live on it (eventually) - I've spent a lot of time down the marina and everyone is really relaxed and chilled out. Maybe going everywhere at 4mph makes them more relaxed.

I think I'm going through another mid-life crisis! but my kids are grown up now and have their own lives (son lives in South Africa) and I don't need the space any more. I'm self employed so I can work when I want and I took my pension from my other job early and can live on that anyway.

I just thought that pottering up and down the canals would be quite a nice life.

Mid life crisis lol.
I watched a good friend do this, went out and bought brand new evos a couple of years ago.
he bought 1 of the forecourt there and then and ordered another with all extras lol etc.
anyway months later his came and he gave other to his wife and said it was always yours but needed to use it until his 1 came.
oh and he ordered a very rare yamaha r6, took his window out of his and there sits his brand new bike never been used in his bedroom.
no joke, I gonna try find you a photo as I wouldnt believe this.
the bike is just used for hanging clothes on, no joke, his wife iorns beside it.

The day it was put in his bedroom.

It's a nice bike and deserves to be used for more than a clothes horse.

I had bikes all my life until I decided that I would end up dead in a ditch one day.

I had three mates who are no longer here because of bikes so I decided to be sensible and sold my last one 10 years ago.

I've more or less decided that there are better things to do than work all the time so I only work now when I need extra money!

I don't think I would but an Evo - they seem far too complicated - nice when they are new but not easy to do work on by yourself.

My business is property renovation and I end up doing everything on a job- although I've started sub contracting the really messy jobs.

Work is getting busy lately so I'm working more than I want to.
