Our home is a 60' widebeam boat, moored in a marina. We are looking for someone to live on our boat and look after our cats (4) and dogs (2) while we visit Greece.

Although you would be unable to travel on the canals, due to insurance ruless during these dates, this does present an oppoortunity to get to know life on board a comfortable, well equipped boat.

The boat is moored on a friendly marina in a semi-rural location, surrounded by open countryside for lovely walks with the dogs.

What could I ever say to do justice to David, Gay, their amazing rescue pets, houseboat & Marina community? My 3rd Sit; thanks for inviting me back & making me feel so welcome.
