Pick of the week - Moonshine


Today I've trawled the boats for sale to choose a pick of the week - it's been a while since I posted one.  This boat jumped out at me as ticking pretty much all our boxes.  It wasn't until I started to type this blog entry and looked for the boat name to put in the heading that I realized Barry (see Sandra's blog entry : http://nbnorthernpride.blogspot.com/2011/08/few-days-down-south-part-one-england.html ) may have chosen the same boat as me!  

So back to nb Moonshine - listed with ABNB Narrowboat Brokerage.
Pros : the layout is fantastic - we'd love to be able to have a separate little room for an office/visitor so this is our ideal layout.
Cons : the insulation is thinsulate and we'd prefer spray foam, our first choice would be a pump out loo.
We would put a desk area in the empty cabin, plus perhaps a fold out bed.  It would be fantastic to have another space like this so we can have somewhere to go away from each other.  I'd love to have a work area so I wouldn't have to pack everything up all the time.
