Offgrid Boaters - One couple's alternative nomad life: One couple's alternative nomad life

One couple's experience in taking to living on a boat to avoid the housing rent trap.



In 2018, Glenn and his wife gave up their rented house to move onto a fifty-year-old cabin boat. With no practical boating experience, they cruised down the River Thames and onto the Kennet and Avon Canal, where they embarked on an exciting new life as continuous cruisers.

"A cabin boat is basically a floating yoghurt pot. It's nothing like a steel narrowboat and ours is older than us and still a beauty."

This is their voyage of discovery. The challenges they faced in downsizing to a home the size of a modern living room. The joys of summer and the reality of icy winters.



At times humorous, Offgrid Boaters offers useful insights into boat life and is an ideal read for anyone looking for a fulfilling alternative to modern lifestyles.
