The prices I can get on ebay have gone down in the last couple of months.<br /><br />IT on the boat a a tad rudimentary although it works well enough for me. I don't suppose you could get the bandwidth to do proper remote work done. Still it is one of those jobs where it may be possible to work from the boat. The engineer bit implies that you need to be on location to do the engineering.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058329208182560961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772807458489546340.post-43042114069082721832010-05-20T23:43:47.721+01:002010-05-20T23:43:47.721+01:00And how is bow making working out on a boat?

As a self-employed IT engineer, I wonder what prospects are open to me on the water. I don't think baking will cut it on the cut, either. Once I've worked this out I'll be there... or there...Carlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772807458489546340.post-23204968577812823992010-05-19T20:46:43.191+01:002010-05-19T20:46:43.191+01:00Life is most certainly slower and simplier.

Well non that I know off (that's what I tell Lisa)<br /><br />There's nothing furious about my work pattern. Lisa will vouch for that. The important things are the important things eg water, toilets, food stowage without freezers etc. It wouldn't suit everyone.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058329208182560961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772807458489546340.post-82443437825599235732010-05-13T22:19:23.621+01:002010-05-13T22:19:23.621+01:00I imagine that life is slower on a narrowboat than...I imagine that life is slower on a narrowboat than in a house in a busy city - even if you are working furiously towards finishing that bow or boat! Do you think life is slower? Do you have less to think about? You know, you may have found the answer to a long life; a narrowboat.Carlnoreply@blogger.com
