Do you have other things you would rather do than boat? If you do then I can see the sense in selling. Otherwise, unless it’s a money thing, why sell? we are doing the big camper, which if we enjoy as much as the small camper, we will have a great time seeing new places. Also we both fancy moving to Italy,s as strange as it seems, and watching Amanda Holden and Alan Carr in Sicily buying 1 euro house hasnt helped at all! We have already been looking at them and this program has made it worse. We both like Italy and its a favorite holiday destination for us so we might give that a whirl? Though in truth my best plan would be to have the boat moved to the seas around Italy coastal hopping a few miles daily
is it worth buying a house abroad when you can only spend 90 days at a time there? |

Wayne and I had planned to retire, buy a boat and CC for a few years then return to land. Brexit, Covid and other disasters not excluding Wayne’s hip replacement at 54 have made us rethink the plan. Our distance from the canal system means that we will remain serial hirers. At least the realisation kicked I. Before we took the plunge. |

I like Italy very much and there are many areas of rural Italy where houses are incredibly cheap and some of those areas are lovely.
I have been to Italy a few times but one visit was for about two months and explored several areas in central Italy
(based in a central area near Foggia)

Probably about the time of the next blacking in 2025/6 not absolutely sure yet. I may hang on until I'm 75 in 2027 all depends on outside influences not in my control. After a lot of discussion it looks like the selling date may well be changing! Looking likely that Loddon will be on the market late May this year  So will end 50+ years of boat ownership. |

Sabina H will be 100 years old in 2029 At that date I would be 84 My plan is to be still aboard her I would be willing to wager money against that outcome but not at the odds any sensible bookie would offer me  |

Part of the problem for us is other commitments preventing us from using the boat as much as we should. Its a difficult call.

Its a difficult call. that sort of thing I can understand There are no circumstances that I can forsee that would force me off the boat apart from general decreptitude of course I have always said that the only way I plan on leaving her is in a wooden box |

Still we have the caravan so can get away to wherever |
