Would you like a small, affordable apartment in the Europe, UK, or the USA?​

Have you ever thought of buying a barge, narrowboat, motorboat, or even a trawler?

​You could have your very own wandering apartment! With the ability to move neighbourhoods if you wish – the choice is yours.

Advice - here's some advice on buying a boat... there are many things to think about, for example, do all the seacocks work, (test them!) when were they last serviced/replaced? It may not sound a big-ticket item but if they corrode or break, then your boat will sink... to replace them you need to haul out. Here's many other things you must consider.

If you'd like to advertise your boat here for FREE, please email me (ckijack@yahoo,com) the words WITHIN the body of the email. Maximum 62 words including price, location,etc. Attach a photo of around 200-300 KB, supply the URL link (of your main advert/website) - in the body of the email as well. Format the text as per the other adverts - let your full advert supply detail (I will link your photos to your URL).
If you'd like me to re-write your ad to match the format, please send $25 via paypal (ckijack@yahoo.com) and I will do so. 
If you are a business then contact me for advertising rates.
​The best bit!
You can explore, in your own home! Whether you meander along remote canals or putter through unique villages, wherever you stop you’ll have your own pillow, your own tea-mug,  and your own bed! How wonderful!

Unique selection
Here’s just a small selection of boats available from our FB group Women On Barges (WOBs) – please like and share. Leave a comment too, we’d all love to know what you think.

We invite you into our homes - click on each picture for more details and lots of fabulous pictures.

Hi Jackie

I guess but do not know that I have joined women on barges as I always look and get the postings on my facebook page, anyways if I did I can not remember it might have been sometime ago.(old age senile dementia) !!!
Either way we would like to sell our barge now as we are both needing to be home based ( medical reasons) and so I was wondering if we can join her to your list.
Please let me know what I must do.....to comply....do not want to tread on anyones toes!!! Ouch !!!,
Thank you really enjoy the page and follow daily

Many regards to you both Sharon Smith

Hi Sharon, I am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply - moving off the boat to the UK and getting organised to go back to Australia has been rather fraught!
I'd be happy to add your boat - just look at how the ads are laid out - and submit the same amount of working/same format and a small picture (less then 200kb) and I will put it on the site for you.
email me on ckijack@yahoo.com :-)
Regards,
Jackie
