I am in this marina since almost 2,5 years, and I live on my boat. Not that I would hang my undies outside to dry or constantly have parties or something but the new managment really tries to get rid of me for every little thing. The first year they didn't charge me for electric, at all. Then they bugged me about requiring a metred lead which costs 160 quid!
Then they went on about how I am not supposed to stay on the boat and demanded proof of address, and when I gave them one they wanted more proof, and more as if they couldn't accept it.
They don't even know when I am on the boat or not, so far is obvious, often times they call me about the most stupid things and ask if I am around. So why are they so bothered?
Jeez, and everytime I come up with a solution so they leave me alone they come up with the next thing. And there is never a warning, it's immediately the words "And unfortunately I have no other choice but to end your contract to XXX (end of month usualy) and you will need to move the boat".
Dude, the engine isn't working and it's the only deep water harbour in the area, besides I like my friends here.
You know why they wanna kick me out now? Hold on to your seats, it's a big one! "Indecent exposure infront of children". This makes me sound like the biggest perv ever.
You know what it actually is? The flat AAAAAAALL across the marina saw me take a pee off the pontoon somewhen in the evening once or twice and wrote a letter of complaint. I know my dick is huge, but I highly doubt they can see anything from their balconies, especially in the evening. And now the thing is: I have been doing that every now and then (like everybody else) since I am in the marina, so it's not even a recent thing. And the toilet block is like a 5 minute walk from my pontoon. Imagine you need to take a leak really bad and then have to walk 5 minutes to the toilet block. Especially if I am having beers, I won't spend 15 minutes of every hour just for a toilet walk.
And now consider this: Everyone on their boats has their own toilets, which, you guessed it, flush into the harbour water, too.
Fucking annoying,really. Stressing me out like this, especially not that I am broke as fuck.
I want to move away from here, but first I need to fix the engine and then I can sell the boat, but not earlier. I already have a second boat up in scotland, where I want to move to as soon as I have a couple K in my pocket for dire needed upgrades for the new boat (like solar power as it doesn't have any electricity besides the alternator) and some stuff to make it easy to sail solo.
But nooooo they need to stress me the fuck out once again over little BS like that. I don't know what their problem is. And "they" actually only means the one person in charge, since she is here she wants to get rid off me although I am a paying customer and don't cause trouble.
If people actually complained I would have just passed the info on with a little warning if I were in charge. JFC.
Sorry, needed to rant.
Anyone else here a boatie?
