Hey. I am new to boating. Looking for the boat of my dreams at the moment. With this boat first I will to hang about in England (where I live- London). then I want to eventually go to Europe and travel around. but I need to make my mind up on the kind of boat that I need. Would a narrow boat be too risky on some of the european waterways? (currents? I don't know how stable these little things are!) not to mention crossing the channel. And would a wide beam be too fat to go to certain places? (Venice, Amsterdam, even Africa! And is that even possible?) My other question is this: i heard that you can moor your boat any place for 12 days for free, as long as you move on afterwards. Is this what people call 'continuous mooring'? Do you know where I can find more information on this? And does this law exist in Europe too, or are they more strict? Thank you so much for sharing your time. love nom
