Hi y'all,
My other half (Ann) and I are currently boatless and living in Branston, Lincoln.
We joined this site as we have made the decision to sell our bricks and mortar and move to life afloat. It's not a decision we've taken lightly, we have discussed this for about the last two to three years, but at last have finally decided to make the break.
Neither of us are strangers to boating, Ann had several outings on the Broads and we had our own little 20ft Norman until last year when lack of use forced us to sell on (Ann with final year at Uni, I working on an archeology project that needed full time attention). We've been without a boat for a little over a year now and it's killing us!
Yes, that's as far as we've gotten in our deliberations to date. Ann has a year's contract at Uni with the Student Union but may possibly be able to extend that to two years, so we're looking at making our move at the end of the contract. However as the university sits right on Brayford Pool, we're starting to think that it wouldn't be a bad thing to bring plans forward.
This was intended to be a brief intro, unfortunately I have an uncanny ability to say a thousand words where three or four would normally suffice. Seriously though, I will be making several or more postings with requests for information - technical and not so technical, so I hope to hear from as many of you as possible. We also look forward to seeing you all on the waters too.
Best regards
Darren & Ann
