About the book
Through candid and often humorous reflections, the author shares the realities of choosing an unconventional lifestyle afloat—from mastering the art of canal navigation to embracing a simpler, more intentional way of living. Beyond the practical challenges of limited space and constant maintenance, the narrative explores the profound sense of community found amongst fellow boaters and the deep connection to nature that comes from living on the water. It's an honest account that doesn't romanticise life afloat but instead celebrates its unique rewards: spectacular sunrises, wildlife encounters, and the freedom of moving one's home through Britain's beautiful canal network.
