Narrowboat 63 Foot Tug, Barge, Narrow Boat, Canal, River, Liveaboard,traditional

We are selling our beloved 'Monycom' a 63 foot tug narrow boat She was built 1983 by a company called Water travel of Autherley Junction, she is number 46 and fully fitted for living aboard We have lived on her for the past 16 years and had so many happy times. Whatever the season the canal is beautiful. Imagine looking out your window in spring and seeing the ducklings, signets, baby moorhens, goslings, the trees growing, the flowers and blossom sprouting. Watching the trees shed their leaves in autumn and picking blackberries, watching the snow falling around you in winter and, the best bit, summer, sitting on the towpath taking in the colours and smells, talking to the passers by, waving at the other boats going past, sitting in the evening with friends with a glass of wine or beer and a BBQ. And of course cruising, taking in all the above but whilst moving at a peacefull pace with not a care in the world, stopping at the pub for lunch if you fancy.

If you want to be in the middle of nowhere or right in town you can be, don't like your neighbours? Just move!
