Lovely boat ! and great name

Did you use the boat as a constant cruiser or holiday home ?
I'm registered as a continuous cruiser Bonesie but don't live on the boat. Each winter I find a different marina to keep the boat allowing a change of view when staying onboard. Due to Covid the boat is spending a second winter in Thorne though.
Generally with ad hoc moorings on the canal banks you are allowed a maximum of 14 days. Visitor moorings vary from 24 hours to 7 days max. The low life's who abuse these rules are given the tongue in cheek title of "continuous moorers" although C & RT now have regular patrols in most locations.
