Going Off Grid


​where could £9 get 
 you a warm dry bed
and a cooked breakfast?


002

Where £49 might get you
a similar deal
for a whole month?

£9 might get you three pints 
at a canalside Wetherspoon
but would it include
rolling out your sleeping bag
in the lounge after closing
and getting a traditional English
the following morning.

There has to be a catch? 

Well actually there isn't.

You would be on a canal boat
floating on an english canal
far from the madding crowds
..  your call ...


Pentargon costs £3650 pa to run
£10 a day all found
 
I am now able to offer a berth
short-term or long-term
to an adventurer
who would like to go
off-grid
on England's canals
as working crew on Pentargon
and contributing to the kitty
which is where your £9 comes in.


Food on Pentargon is home-cooked
Onboard food is whole food
and it comes with the deal
.. your choice of course ..

£9 bed and breakfast afloat

If you want to be my guest
 bring your own sleeping apparel.
Share the boat's expenses,
 defray the costs of living
 including breakages, licenses, 
safety certs, paint, diesel, gas,
insurances, ongoing repairs,
and all the other expenses

which annually tot up to £3650  
​
£9 a night would hardly get you
fresh-air-bnb under a canal bridge
let alone give you access
to an operational narrowboat
with a warm comfortable bed.
in a heated cabin

An extra name in the stew pot
has no effect on a budget
which is programed to cope with
spillage, shrinkage and extra guests.

We may have to peel a few more carrots
and we may have to dine on the roof
but you would stay dry and warm.
In a cabin which is 'winter' heated
  ...
The boat  has a wide bed
with a crew bunk under it
and you get to choose your berth. 

The 'hotel'  experience
in the pictures above
says bring your own groceries
for I notice they do not feed you
even though they supply
a bathroom each
and a bedroom each. 

Your contribution of £9 a day
is your total contribution
to access all areas
and facilities on the boat
and inducts you in off-grid living
and
Survival at All Costs
Or at No Cost At All

.
...
If you decided to stay for WEEKS. 
£49 is the the WEEK contribution.

Test your comfort zone even further
by signing up for a month for £199

Survival at All Costs
Or at No Cost At All?


Pentargon's calendar has only ten months
so a whole year's onboard contribution
which would come to £1999
and it does not have to be paid upfront 
The kitty is fed once a week
and so long as Kitty is happy
Pentargon is happy
Survival At All Costs
PENTARGON60906.CO.UK
And At No Cost At All
