Made me search narrowboats and that sounds like a neat lifestyle! Here in the US there are people who live on houseboats in lakes like Lake Cumberland (Kentucky), and that’s probably the closest thing we have.

Have you thought about micro wind turbines? I wonder if those would provide some power in the winter just to charge phones and laptops.

Their output is fairly low due to surrounding trees and housing. I did consider wind for heating water however. That might be feasible with a large enough savonius turbine.
