Yes, boat life is amazing. I got this inspiration from when I lived in the Netherlands many moons ago. Hubby (when we were dating, then) introduced me to the British version, called narrowboats. We finally got to live this way when we returned to the UK after Covid.
I guess you need that when you have to carry those loads.
You're spot on there. I need to eat before I can open locks when we're cruising.
Have a lovely day too:)))
