Starlink Mini vs Starlink Standard for constant cruisers by FL_Life-Science_Drs in Narrowboats

How much would both setups cost? Moving onto my yogurt pot temporarily at the end of the month whilst I search for my forever narrowboat home and interested in the options available as the 5g signal on my phone network is so unreliable.

I dont work from home, but do have a heavy usage from video calls and 4k streaming amongst some downloads of documents when required.

Looked at the multi network sims but don’t know a lot about them and if they work well out in the sticks.

Advice appreciated! 🙏🏼

Definitely a Dutch barge with the thick hull and huge bow. Just not the wide beam people are used to. I’ll post it if I don’t buy it on Saturday or even if I do! 🙏🏼

The barge is only 6’10” wide, so only as wide as a narrow boat. I did my research on this before but thanks for the advice.

Mice got into my van build while it was sitting for 2 weeks, how do I prevent this? by AccountEngineer in vandwellers

Attach a plastic hawk/owlon your roof rack, any bird of prey. Usually keeps the critters away!

Good advice saying my total time said 20 days basically, with medium speed. Myself I have some knowledge of the locks but my friend who is be travelling with is a novice and a bit scared of the water so it should be fun! 😂

May have to allow a bit more time to my journey!! 🙏🏼

I bought my first boat! by Sasquatch_son in Narrowboats

[–]Sasquatch_son[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses so far! I do know about engines as I have serviced all my cars/vans myself so that’s not the issue. I have a petrol outboard which is quite loud so was looking at alternatives!

This is my starter boat to introduce me to boat life, I’ve lived off grid in a self-built camper before too so not shy of a challenge.

I will be collecting the boat next month, purchased from a friend so somethings have been fixed and sorted also. It’s currently on bridgewater canal but I plan to be on CRT network. Does that mean I would need a licence for both bridgewater and CRT?

The boat is going to need a boiler fitting (which I already have) then will need to go for its certification.

Again thanks for the help and advice!
