Do as the licence says

I HAVEN'T written for a while, but felt I must regarding the petition about Eviction of boat dwellers. I fear we are going back to the 'continuous moorers' debate here, writes Peter Foster.

A continuous cruiser with no home mooring should not complain when they are required to do what their licence says—cruise. The petition includes the words 'Many boat dwellers work locally and some are key workers. Many require access to local services such as health care and schools and will be put to extreme difficulty if forced to move unreasonable distances'.

Cannot be continuous cruisers

Surely if they work locally or require schools they cannot be classed a continuous cruisers, since they want to stay in one place to take advantage of these local services.

The two are not compatible. If you want access to local services, take a home mooring. If you want a continuous cruiser licence, stick to the terms of that licence.
