Boat Families
A place to share advice and knowledge relevant to parenting on board: From "Can I have a homebirth?" to "Where's my nearest canal-side pub with play area?" Ask questions, share photos, post events. Feel free to add your mooring, child-friendly recommendations, family pubs, playgrounds, days out etc. This group is mostly for families already living afloat.
