I've been considering getting a canal boat and am curious about the logistics and lifestyle involved. For those of you who own or have spent considerable time on a canal boat, what are the key things I should consider before diving into this venture? I'm particularly interested in the maintenance requirements, costs, and general day-to-day living experience. Are there any challenges or joys that might not be immediately obvious to someone new to this? Would love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have!
