- It's bleeding cold and I continue my solo narrowboat adventure, cruising downstream on the Llangollen canal. I tackle some DIY projects that I have been putting off - The joys of living aboard a boat and meet up with a fellow single handed narrowboat friend to help each other down the canal locks.

My favourite pirate story ........
A tourist meets a pirate , and notes that the pirate has a peg leg, a hook, and an eye patch. The tourist asks, "So, how did you end up with the peg leg?"
The pirate replies, "Aye, matey, we was in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a load of sharks. Just as me men were pulling me out, a shark bit me leg off."
"Wow!" said the tourist. "What about your hook?"
"Well," replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off."
"Incredible!" remarked the tourist. "How did you get the eye patch?"
"A sea-gull dropping fell into me eye," replied the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a sea-gull dropping?" the tourist asked incredulously.
"Not exactly," said the pirate. "It was me first day with the hook."
😂😂
I did hear that Captain Hook died from jock itch.....
Like many people I stumbled on your channel and kept watching. What a fascinating brilliant talented character you are. You deserve a TV Series except they would fuck it up. 😂😂
Aww thank you 😂🏴☠️❤️
She's lovely, God a c ruise would really be a Fun Cruise with this exceptional Woman❤ She could be Brilliant on TV
@@smljohnstone awww thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
@@smljohnstone arrrgh 😂😂
I love how you have a little mobile community that moves around and gathers in different places.
It’s so amazing ❤️😄🏴☠️
Belated Birthday Greetings Heidi. There were so many references to ni@@les that I hadn't enough fingers and toes on which to keep count.
Anyway, here is my short pirate story for my favourite short pirate.
Heidi is a pirate wench who sails the inland narrows.
So brave is she to solo sail, amid the swans and sparrows.
She fears not the cold and rain despite her rising ripples.
She carries on, and wets the lips with Rum, her favourite tipples.
Inside her boat, it's toasty warm. So cosy and inviting. Her adventures on Rum Wench are really quite exciting.
Stay safe fair wench both near and far and warm your hands before removing your bra.
(With reference to your new body warmers)
Brilliant Harry 😂🏴☠️
Bravo!
very good dude . . .
You are an absolute delight and bring such a lively, lovely spirit to narrow boating.
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
Doing the ''Dreams'' of life is why we get out of bed. My thing is finding off beat places around Oz during winters and sparking up a huge fire. Ports, Cubans and a fire cooked dinner, another 8 weeks and I'm off again for another 4 months straight, living the life.
Wow sounds amazing ❤️🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Living in your own Universe seeking the vast depths of your mind is an amazing journey. Nikola Tesla was onto this 100 years ago.
The more you unplug from the 'World'' the more you'll discover ''Inside''
The physical body is just transport for a ''Mind'' very few will ever grasp in this life time. The stars are vast in number yet so far away. But being so far away makes the nights that much more mythical. If they were vastly closer then nights would not exist. We only see 2 worlds, a day and a night. I think there is far far more than that.
More people need to ''Journey''
More people need to discuss their findings
More people need to share their thoughts
Sadly the idiot screen has closed that door
What an absolutely wonderful way to live! Your little bed looks so comfy. Over here in US I have a massive van that I camp in on occasion. I would trade that any day for your peaceful canal life. I'm totally envious. I can only imagine the world going by so slowly. Epic! Be well, stay happy. Cheers.
Aww thank you and may you have many good adventures in your van 😄🏴☠️
That looks like an awesome peaceful, relaxing way to live, I think I could be quite happy living that way.
Ive just discovered your channel & am excited to binge your channel from the beginning. Your delivery is well done & the editing is smart. I especially love the natural sound you allow in your cuts. Ive got many questions & im certain your vids will answer a few. Kudos my friend! Ill watch the ads for ya too😊
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
For the first time I've seen my boat, yeah!
Whey hey 😄🏴☠️
I absolutely love your videos! The way you put them together is like I’m on the voyage with you, and it’s a happy one no matter what you’re going through. You’re amazing!
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
For a minute I thought that with the double entendres - this was ‘Carry on Cruising’!
Illness forced me to sell my LOvely Jubbly 68' Wilson?Simpson trad on the Sharpness, and watching this has made be really miss it ....
I hope I'm welcome for a cuppa tea when I find it over Easter .....
I’ll be working but always happy to have a towpath chat 😃🏴☠️
OLD AGE AND DAMP PATCHES
THE BOATS GOT THEM TOO !
😂😂
Omg Heidi was watching 999 Critical Care on TV and in it was a lady who had fallen off her boat and the prop had cut up and broken her foot!! For fluffs sake take care out there. We worry about you x
An ode to a pirate....
One day aboard the Rum Wench
Her buttocks our Heidi did clench
As her rather large shaft
And her ginormous draft
Caused her boat to get stuck in a trench
The cold weather affected her nips
And almost froze her top lips
But this wench she just laughed
As she took out her flask
And treated herself to some sips
Shes survived lock jizz and other such frights
Cold mornings and boiling hot nights
Duvets in the hatch
An expensive new cratch
So this wasn't too much of a plight
With heart things to warm up her nipples
Dancing round to that tune called "Stiff Ripples"
She's sound as a pound
Til help can be found
Knocking back all her favorite tipples!
Tracy 🙏 😆 Well, Bob Dylan it ain't but it's the best I could do!
Wow absolutely brilliant 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate cheers ears!
well done . . .
@@Headwind-1 😆
You should put a couple of jumpers on until the fires warmed thing up......
Stay safe, stay free. stay afloat 😁👍
This is the first time I watched your video and I am fascinated. I have long dreamed about what it would be like to live on a long boat, now I can find out.
Thanks for watching 😄🏴☠️
You are so much fun I love watching you go through good old England, the land of my mother who came from Manchester and was a WW 2 Warbride. I am from Smiths Falls, Ontario Canada. Happy Sailing!
Sharon Clarke
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Just stumbled across this channel, thought I give it a look,really enjoyed it ,certainly nothing boring about it 🙂so look forward to seeing a few more adventures.
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate love your video s how do you make ends meet x
We dont have canals in Oz., love your videos, your persona, you would be a ton of fun in a pub for a night your lighthearted humor, awsome,
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Beautiful camera work and drone work throughout this video. You’re getting so good at it all.
Using the drone also as a way of looking at what’s up ahead is a good idea, being on your own. Brilliant and very handy 🙂
🙂🐿🌈❤️
Thank you, I crashed it last week 😂😂
Lidle from time to time sell green fishing gloves that has a neoprene hinge on the index finger, so you can sort your phone out etc.
I just started watching you for about a week now and almost finished all your episodes. Just loving all your video's love your humor I laugh everytime your cheeky lol. Happy Birthday Heidi!
Welcome aboard! And thanks so much for watching 😃🏴☠️
Another great episode, cheerful as ever, love your attitude, Good Luck. Graham
I just love your ‘engine room’.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
I’m fascinated by how narrow the canal seems to be, yet how easily you seem to steer the boat. Is it as easy as you make it look, or did you take a long while to be that good? The corners look like they are impossible, given how long the boat is, and the fact that you steer only by a tiller in the stern. You should do an episode where operating the boat is highlighted. Love your stuff.
Yeah you just get used to it… as long as you go slow it’s all ok 😃🏴☠️
yes it helps if you have a large one . .rudder . . .
@@Headwind-1 so size does matter then? 🎉
I’m Matt and I absolutely adore you!!! ❤ thank you for sharing yourself
Absolutely loved this one Cap’n H!
Its got the lot - lovely countryside, lovely boat, lovely sunset, lovely friends and lovely family. Off the scale. Thank you so much.
Aww thank you John 😃🏴☠️❤️
What a wonderful boat and travel on the narrow waterways in that beautiful country must be extremely delightful! Surely I would enjoy doing that some point in life. Seems you must provision heavily by seeing its very rural countryside. First I have seen. NARROWBOAT Chanel. Thanks for the Pleasant experience, would truly need to put this on my bucket list.
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
Happy belated Birthday Heidi, is'nt your Mum and her sisters alike to look at, thought i was seeing trebble.Cheer's to many more Birthdays and adventures on the high seas, well canals .
Aww thanks Alan and yes they do 😄🏴☠️
Wish I could give multiple thumbs up for this one. Happy Birthday Heidi. Wonderful. Simply Wonderful.
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
A belated happy birthday Heidi. I can see you had a smashing time with the family. Thank you for sharing, the Vlog was lovely. All the best.❤Stephen xx
Aww thank you Stephen 😄❤️🏴☠️
My great great grandfather was captain Morgan he’s not here any more but I’m a chip of the old block
And happy birthday matey
Cheers 😄🏴☠️
This is really an eye opening video to those who think life on the canal is all peaches and cream…as fun as it must be it’s also a hell of a lot of work from what I’ve seen…keep on keepin on 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks you T, i try to show it all on here 😄🏴☠️
Arrrr! A pirate woman single-handin' 'er narrow-boat through England's canals in search of treasure. Now that's somethin' after me own heart. Great video! An' I'm yer newest subscriber.
Aww thank you and welcome aboard 😄🏴☠️
Brings back some nearly forgotten experiences. I was sent to school in Ellesmere (and hated that awful school). But in my last year there I got heavily into kayaking. The target for all my training was the famous Devizes to Westminster race, 127 miles and we finished in just under 24hours. In those days the summit of the Kennet and Avon was dry and it meant a 2 mile portage (running with kayak). But the highlight was escaping the dreadful school each morning for an hour or so kayaking. Weekends meant longer trips to Llangollen and back (taking a tent, and enjoying under aged drinking at night). Beautiful canal, even at 5am in the winter, cracking the ice with our paddles. Pity I had to leave it to go back to the institutional bullying of the English Private school system of that time.
Aww bless you! Well at least kayaking and the canals got you away for a short time ❤️🏴☠️
I also went to boarding schools, three in fact, last one in N Devon close to Dartmore in a very small village. Reading about your escape from school by kayaking, mine was cycling, used to cycle 15 miles to Bideford to see my sister in another boarding school.
My morning inspiration
What a life. I'm envious. Spent a lifetime on land because of funky ear canals and severe motion sickness from dysautonomia.
I'll live vicariously through you.😁👍
Happy belated birthday.🎉🎂 Thanks for letting us spend it with you.
The "nipples" talk had me in tears.
😂🏴☠️
Your boats are something else...
Having been four years in the Navy I know it can get bitchin' cold on the water in the wintertime, but damn, the canals are so beautiful in winter. That long slanting wintry sun, snow on the hills, falling on your ass on the towpath... how much better can it get?!
Thanks for the lovely footage!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
Another fab one! We knew that book would bring you hours of underpants joy. Glad you’re sharing it with your viewers ❤😂
Oh it’s going to bring so much fun 😂😂🏴☠️
Like your owl cushion Rosie and Jim do not have a drink
Lovely vlog, Heidi. Nice to see you having your birthday with family. Fantastic sunset.
Thanks so much! 😊🏴☠️
I’m already inspired with that view
Belated birthday greetings, looks like you had extended celebrations 🍾 that drone footage looks chilly, icey fields ❄️ good to see safety first on those frosty locks. Stay safe, thank you for keeping us all entertained xx see you next Thursday ♥️
😃❤️🏴☠️
The pirate boat slid through the sea making only ripples. Do you want to finish that on off Hiedi, happy birthday.
Lmao 😂😂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIEDI
I see Jim just checking rosey has got her thermals on it must be cold 😆
Lmao 😂😂
Wish we had these in Canada without freezing! Love it! and jealous!
Aww thank you 😃
Looking forward to your next Great video,enjoying your cruising it takes me away for awhile I day dream about living on a narrow boat 😊stay safe and warm
Aww thank you … I hope your dreams come true soon 🏴☠️😄❤️
Fingerless gloves that's what I use you can still use your phone etc and still warm your hands and the heat goes down to your exposed fingers.
Belated Happy 🎂 Heidi. Loved this video. You sure looked as if you had a great time, both with your lovely family and friends. Thanks for taking us on yet another journey. The scenery is always amazing and that sky was awesome. Stay safe out there.
Thank you so much! 😄🏴☠️
I so enjoy your music, I think it reminiscent of the style of composing published by Wyndham Hill studios.
Very impressed by your huge shaft. I had to blow down my blouse. Ooh err Missus.
😂😂
Happy Birthday 🎉 Hope you have had an amazing time. What an amazing family you have. Stay safe pirate :)
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful way of life.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Ah! Happy belated birthday 🎂 Heidi. Just discovered your channel and I’ve been slowly catching up on all your older vlogs. Love your vlogs, your content and humor. 😀
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Nah then, ay up me duck.
I can't wait to walk the Llangollen later this year, hopefully I'll have a bit warmer weather, mind. A belated happy birthday 🎂🎈👍🙂
It’s such an amazing canal 😄❤️🏴☠️
Great vid yet again Heidi!
It’s not a story but I think you should read this out!
There once was a pirate named Bates,
Danced a hornpipe for all of his mates,
But he slipped on his cutlass,
And made himself `nut-less`,
And now he's just worthless on dates.
It’s not mine but it just made me laugh!
Love it 😂😂❤️
Learned about your vlogs from the ones you've done with C.T.C David....and very happy I have done....cheers!!
Welcome aboard! And thank you - David is a wonderful guy 😄🏴☠️
I live in Canada near Toronto, there are no canals to travel like in your neck of the world. I'd love to have a travel with you some day. Have a wonderful time lov.
Oh you have a beautiful family first time I'm on U-boat what a lovely time
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
If you go to 4:14 mark, you will see the Rum Wench painting on the side of the boat. Look a bit to the left....That's your shadow. Interesting. The Wenches drinking rum together
😂😂
Going to warm up your back passage? Any possibility of your favourite recipes, like your sausage caserole? I know where you pirates buy your earrings, its at Arrrgos! But there is something magical about winter daylight sunshine. You need some of those fingerless gloves.
Yes I do need to sort some gloves out 😂😂
Stories to read? Surely the Captain Pugwash Pirate Stories by John Ryan will be right up your wassname? Belated "happy birthday!" 23 is a good age🎂🏴☠
Yeah I prefer to get some nice unique ones if we can 😂🏴☠️
Love this, just stubbled across it by accident.....I don't think I've ever seen a Narrowboat with the engine that far forward?
All the old working boats would have a traditional boatman’s cabin and then the engine and this was built on that traditional design 😄🏴☠️
I lived 13 yrs on the sea, and enjoyed all the aspects of that lifestyle good times or bad. Never got seasick a single time.
Your chimney stacks could do with some rain cowls on, to stop the rain going down the flue into your stove.
I have one as shown in the passed but don’t keep it on when the stove is lit as they just don’t work on most stoves unfortunately as the heat hits the top and makes drips down the outside and onto the boat roof … that’s why many boaters don’t use them in winter
You make it look so easy and you are beautiful to boot
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
the music is proper I'm envious
Thank you 🏴☠️😄
I tried your remedy for old age and damp patches on my thrust bearing, and it didn’t half bring tears to my eyes !
😂😂
Robert Newton : Born in Dorset in the West Country of England and growing up in Cornwall near Land's End, his exaggeration of his West Country accent is credited with popularising the stereotypical "pirate voice". Ohhhh Arrrrrrrrrr
Arrrrrr 😄🏴☠️
What a great way of living. Enjoy!
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Hi Heidi, in this video, and plenty of others, you show the towpath which is basically just a mud bath. Yet When you show us inside your boat, the floors are immaculate ..... So my question is how the heck do you keep the mud out of your boat. Unless you spend hours every day cleaning.
As always, it's a joy to watch your vlogs, and a happy belated birthday to you. 🙂
I take my shoes off in the back cabin when I get in and I have a dyson vacuum and also just give the floors a wipe over most days with floor cloths, it takes no time at all and makes the boat smell amazing 😃🏴☠️
Nip in the Air is lovely!
Thank you 😃🎵
Hi Heidi
You should buy some finger less gloves they keep your hands nice and toasty keep up with your fantastic videos
Have a wonderful day and stay safe and warm
Nigel 👨🏻🎨
It’s my fingers that get cold though 😂😂 thank goodness for pockets 😂🏴☠️
Sailed the Llangollen a number of years back, during September. No holiday traffic, weather not too bad. My favorite canal.
Morning Heidi
A belated Happy Birthday - 21 again eh! 😂 Good to see you celebrating with Family. That sunset was magnificent, I've said it before, but you find the most gorgeous place to moor up 👍 Thank you for another entertaining vlog. Stay safe, stay happy and keep those nips warm!
Thank you so much!
Top lass!! Ellesmere, great place, great load up venue too
Drinking some beers for your birthday cheers girl love the boat
Cheers 😄🏴☠️
i just love your videos would love to see you down south on the canals
Thank you … I have a lot of commitments and family up North but hopefully one day 😄🏴☠️
I love how they can get SO CHEEKY over there LOL I look forward to browsing through your videos and I will be sure to check out what back door entitlement grants YE
Just dreamy life ! So jealous ! Can I come visit ? PLEASE !
Being a pirate, have you made anyone walk the plank, and stolen there gold and rum.... love your videos...
Haha I wish but I do sell Pirate treasures at festivals 😄🏴☠️
Great video just fund you on here your are doing a grand job 👍 👏 have a lovely weekend 😀 😊
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Dear TNP Rum Wench.
👍👌👏 This is the first time I watched a video about your narrow boating and I like it really very much. Because of your birthday and the mentioned nipple warmers etc. it was even more special. 😁 ;-) I definitely like your humour and your little bit of naughtiness. 😇 2) I wonder if it is possible to collect some fire wood along the channels? It could at least help to start your coal fires and save a bit money. But maybe you already do collect branches and driftwood etc.?
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.
Yes I often forage wood and sticks on my travels 😄🏴☠️
Dear @@TheNarrowboatPirate
Thanks for replying and especially for another heart. By the way: Here's one 💚 for you. Of course in my favourite colour because I love nearly anything that is green.
2) Yes, I already thought that you would definitely collect sticks while traveling respectively while mooring. In fact meanwhile I already saw you collecting/foraging small sticks. But I thought that you would also want bigger ones for making your fire really burn high/hot. 😁 ;-)
Sincerely yours.
Heck of a sunset! That old saying, "Red sky at night, Shepherds delight; Red sky int morning, Shepherds hut aburning."😀
😂😂😂
I read that book to my daughter she loves it
The old "69" brings back so many lovely memories
😂😂
Pleasing video, thank you.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
LOL !! You're very funny. Stay safe on your travels. Ed from New York State.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
your awesome , what a lady . hellava sense of humour , im looking forward to coming over in june thru to july for some canal time and play trains 7 1/4 gauge . go to swiss vapuer parc .
Very enjoyable, as usual, thank you. AK
Thanks for watching 😄🏴☠️
I love Thursdays watching your videos! 😄🏴☠️
Happy Belated Birthday too!! 🥳🥳🥳
Yay! Thank you! 😃🏴☠️
I have been binge watching all your past videos 😁. Came across you accidentally about three weeks back. Your brilliant and I absolutely love your channel. 🦜 I didn't even know there was such a thing as narrow boating. And those canal's with all the gorgeous country-side views. With those fantasticly old bridges and lochs. I'm way over the other side of the world in New Zealand,we have nothing like it. I can see why you love England so much. She's a beautiful old country. You work so hard every day just to maintain your lifestyle and you do it with style. So thank you so much for sharing part of your life. Glad your nipples won't be nippy any longer. 😂. Happy belated birthday Heidi from a new subscriber. 🎂.
Aww thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a lovely comment - thank you 😄🥃🏴☠️
what a lovely person you arrr xxx
Aww thank you
Wow, what a spectacular sunset! Cheers for sharing.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Stay warm 🤗
You too 😃🏴☠️
Happy birthday and lot's more of them oxoxox. Steve
Thank you
Happy birthday I hope you had a fantastic day and I hope you have a great year
I seem to learn a new English colloquialism most times I watch your videos. I'm sure I have many that you have never heard in England. Because it is icy most of the time here I have boots with cleats for the ice and just flick them out for the ice. You don't have as much ice as here but please don't fall on the ice. How many bags of coal do you use in a week? Nice family you're lucky.
Ahoy Richard 😃🏴☠️ yeah it’s been quite slippy here recently we don’t have ice shoes over here though 😂😂 I use about 60kgs of coal a week but that’s the fire on 24/7 Oct to March which isn’t so bad … other people use more or less it all depends if they leave the fire in all the time, use wood, or diesel heating too but I don’t have diesel heating just 2 fires 😃🏴☠️
Appy Birfday Bab, me thinks you're about ready for some sun and warmer days..Stay Safe.
I really am 😂😂
