Hi,

    I've never owned or lived on a boat before but want to be livingaboard soon. I wandered if anyone might know of any good stretches of water to live aboard in either Norfolk of Suffolk? I know that the Norfolk Broads authorities are not liveaboard friendly and there are'nt many (if any) canals in those 2 counties. But what about the big tidal rivers – the Yare, the Stour, the Orwell etc and the esturies? Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Matt 

Thanks for asking around. I've been to Brundall Marina and although I'm not certain, I've got a funny feeling they don't allow liveaboards. I never saw any sign of any when I was there.. I was in Colchester, Essex not so long ago (am now in Manchester for a short time) and there were some folks living on big East Coast barges on the tidal river and on the coast. There must be some liveaboards nearby in Suffolk/Norfolk but I need to find out more.  I might decide that the inland waterways on a narrowboat is the better option. Have'nt come to a definate decision yet.

Thanks for your help

Matt
