- In this weeks video I continue my cruise along the beautiful River Weaver with Paul & Anthony from the youtube channel Narrowboat Life Unlocked and Helen & Tony from Northern Narrowboaters. We race up to Marsh Lock for an explore , passing the amazing Daniel Adamson (The Danny) a 1903 Steam powered vessel. From Marsh lock we are able to look out onto the Manchester Ship Canal and River Mersey and in true pirate style we go to the pub!

The importance of a bar or adult beverage station at the helm cannot be understated
😂😂 cheers!
Smashing little cruise that and ending up at the pub-couldn't be better! 🥃🥃🥃🥃
Thanks Vic 😄🏴☠️🥃
🎉 Just lived this video! I as well think drinks, family, and friends are the most important things in life
Absolutely!! 😃🏴☠️
I bloody love watching your videos! Always have me laughing 😂
Aww thanks so much 😃🏴☠️❤️
Such a wonderful lifestyle. Love being able to vicariously enjoy it with you.
Loved this one! Great to see the trio of boats on the river and the banger, hope we get more of that, don’t be rude!
Love 'The Rum Wench', puts me in mind of many an Irish tune. I am not from the Emerald Isle, just love the tunes that come from that wonderful country.
I really enjoy listening to the melodic music
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Heidi wants her bow , WHAT !!! 😃
What a talented Pirate you are 🙃
😂😂 thanks Peter 🏴☠️
The fab three, great Vlog and you sure pegged it in the middle 😀 we cannot wait to get that boat made and join in ❤️❤️❤️xxxx
Awww you will love it 😃🏴☠️
Nice one like ya music looked a right good laugh with the 3 of yas on the river 🙂🏴☠️✌️
Aww thanks Lee, yes it was great fun 😃🏴☠️
Best show on the cut!
Aww thank you very much 🏴☠️
Your boat is telling you to get on the rivers❤
I know 😂🏴☠️
Love🏴☠️ your adventures ‼️🤩 🥃
Thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
Awww brilliant video Heidi, such a good edit and what a fantastic few days we all had. Can’t wait to do it again 💕
Aww thanks Paul 😃🏴☠️❤️
We’re gate crashing the party next time 😍🎉
Heidi, your bowthruster will never break down when you're counting on it, that's a big advantage of having a simple boat, the less gadgets, the less that can go wrong.
I didn't even have a bow thruster on my 128' barge, and I managed to do everything anyway.
I just think it would help so much as a single hander 😂 but I don’t have the money or think it’s even possible on my old 1969 engine 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Most bow-thrusters on NB's are electric and have nothing to do with your engine, only hydraulic ones that work with an hydraulic pump driven by the engine would use power of your engine.
The electric ones sound like coffee grinders, but they do the job if they're not too much used and abused. If I were you, I wouldn't bother, you've been doing fine without one so far, so why now ?
@@petermastenbroek7719 I’m getting old …
Yours is rum, mine is just the one, Southern Comfort, although I wouldn't turn a decent rum away. Love, hugs and smooth sailing.
Cheers 😄🏴☠️
Loved it you are right Heidi it looks a great river what a joy to see all together wonder where next what joyas life
Thanks Kath 😃🏴☠️

Hello Heidi - greetings from Poland
I had to jump to this vlog - it's the one that Anthony and Paul (Narrowboat Life Unlocked. Lastest vlog 03/09/22) featured you on and I found out about you. So you are Heidi Manning the composer of the music played on your vlogs - a lady of many talents.
A real fun video. I hope you enjoyed making it as much as I enjoyed watching it. Absolutley fabulous. Stay safe please
Thanks Michael 😃🏴☠️

Another triumphant Vlog, notice when you say your only having one, that you do not put a measure on it LOL

Look s and sounds like you're enjoying it Bab, envying you big time. Living in the deep SW as I do now it's a long way to the cut for a Brummy refugee and I miss it.
Awww I absolutely loved it Bob 😃🏴☠️
We just think you are brilliant 😊Not only coming along with you but having a good laugh along the way😂Doing the great loop we cruised at 16 knots and often could only see one bank of the rivers😂.a bit faster than the old girl there..but that's what is so appealing to us..slow and easy😊 Thank you for taking us along me wench😊
Aww thanks so much guys 😄🏴☠️❤️
Glad you all had a wonderful time. So nice to watch you all having such a great time. Take care Blessing to you all xxx
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
GreAaaaaat vlog.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Cracking trip on the Weaver....I've only been down on the Weaver on a trip boat :( Must make an effort to get there on our own boat :)
Awww it’s amazing Ronnie 😄🏴☠️
Great stuff Heidi, i follow a few boaters on you tube, many of which you have shared locks with, the main thing I'm seeing is the great sense of community, i don't know my neighbours, just that they are mostly druggies on benefits.
Looking forward to keeping up with you and others in the future, take care in these storms ❤
What a fantastic time you had with some lovely friends on a river where you can give your engine a good thrashing. Thanks, Heidi for letting me ride along with you. All the best.Stephen
Aww thanks Stephen 😃🏴☠️❤️
Brilliant.
A lovely bunch of boaters 👍⛴️
Yes they really are ❤️😃🏴☠️
How cool Enjoy
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Definitely are enjoying life 😊👍... Thank you for sharing with those of us living vicariously through you and your friends.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
You're classic, Heidi 👌
Thank you 😂😂
Everyone else is dying of heat-stroke and Heidi's got her puffy vest on, lol! The breeze must be nice when it's not winter!
It was only about 12 degrees 😂 I’ve for my fire on tonight …. Bloody cold up North 😂😂
Awww you look so very happy having the others along company makes all the difference tc now Ann n David😉👍
Oh I loved every minute 😃❤️🏴☠️
Thanks Lovely Heidi for a great adventure with great friends and well done to Paul for brilliant drone footage. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Aww thanks Stevie 😄🏴☠️
Well I stitched together all different vlogs, so I got a pretty good impression of this great get-togethher. Lovely, just lovely. Cheers Heidi!
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Heidi you are a a breath of fresh air!!! Thanks Dave
Thank you Dave 😄🏴☠️
Superb filming and commentaries.
A very happy vlog.
One should never presume Heidi, so apologies.
I presume that you have heard of the group called the "Pirates" and the inspirational guitarist Mick Green who inspired "Wilko Johnson" in Dr Feelgood ?
Keep safe warm dry and virus free.
All the best
Ahoy! Yes of course - fabulous stuff 😄🏴☠️🥃 thanks again David 😄🏴☠️
The number one requirement for a Pirate!! The speed to catch your prey and the speed to get away!!
😂😂🏴☠️
What a brilliant vlog.
You hooked up with two of my favourite crews. I have met the Morning Star crew and their lovely dog and had a coffee with them before taxiing them back to collect their car. Really nice guys.
Then there is Helen and Tony and their dog Bruce. I take the mick out of Helen, but she is such a sport. So bubbly and mad as a box of frogs.
She hasn't had the pleasure of me yet, and keeps saying she can't wait to meet me.
Hopefully they can head east into Yorkshire and I will arrange for her to have an audience with me.
Thanks Heidi, that was a lovely, happy vlog. xx
Yes they were a great bunch to hang out with 😄🏴☠️
Howdy Heidi and glad you had a great time with Paul, Anthony and the Northerners. Lots of chat and social activities. Enjoy Keith.
Thanks Keith, it was lovely 🏴☠️😃
I just love your vlogs… traveling with friends is always a fun time… even if some of those friends moo and crash the party💜🐄🐄🐄
Aww thanks Lynda 😃🏴☠️
Tak!
Thank you 😄🏴☠️🥃
Another awesome video Heidi. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into them.
Oh, is there any new music in the pipeline?
Aww thanks Neil, I’ve a few half finished but I’m so busy this time of year I’ll hopefully get them sorted in Autumn 😄🏴☠️
It's great having friends share the journey. I love your vlogs as an end to the week treat. I'm hoping your hot weather spell is sorting itself. You can have some of our below 10 degrees through the day if you want to swap lol. Take care =-)
I’ve got my fire lit tonight … we back down to 12 degrees - our summer lasted 2 days this year 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate lol
nice to cruise with pals and enjoy the scenery together...
It was fabulous 😃🏴☠️
Great seeing you all together. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Ruth 😄🏴☠️
brilliant vlog as usual girl really enjoyed , wouldnt a bow thruster spoil a lot of the fun and excitement of narrow boating ?
Not for me as a single hander 😂😂
Such a brilliant video as always!!
I was recently in hospital and your videos gave me the inspiration and positivity I needed everyday you were a ray of light in my darkest hours and I will forever thank you.
You are such a talented lady and one day I would love to share a rum or 8 with you 🤗🤗🤗
Awww thanks so much for the lovely comment Tim, I hope you are on the mend now 😄🏴☠️ I’ve loads of rum onboard for when our paths cross 😄
I’m like you Tim in hospital three weeks and Heidi helped me through it. Hope your on the mend now mate
@@mickr2 Thank God mate I'm home and on the mend I live in London and was just taken away by the peace and tranquility of the canals and Heidi is such a genuine down to earth person!!.
I don't wanna drone on about it but great footage, hi Heidi xx
Thanks Gaz 🏴☠️
A great video. You always bring a smile to my face and a good laugh or two. Thanks Heidi.
Aww thanks Peter 😄
Hello Heidi that looked such fun. Thank you for that. Best wishes Christine x
Thank you for watching Christine 😄🏴☠️
What fun! You all had a blast there 😃 Some fantastic footage too. I used to dash over Dutton viaduct in me train, and was always rubber necking looking for boats. Looking forward to seeing your next adventures 🏴☠️😀
Oh wow amazing! I bet the views were fantastic from up there 😃❤️🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate The views are always amazing from the cab, best office window in the world, but the views from the stern of a trad narrowboat take some beating too😃😎
Great video Heidi ~ enjoyed seeing you so happy and with friends. Made me think of Puddin' and Jackie, hope they're doing well. Take good care of yourself, be well, until next Thursday here's a hug from us 🤗💕🇺🇸🇬🇧
I saw Puddin and Jax the other day ….. they are both great 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate
Good to hear. Take care, see you on the next one 🎉🥂
Wow, another great couple of videos. (Are you sure you didn't work as a TV editor??) All I know about boating is what I've gleaned watching your videos and you mentioned how if you'd carried on you would have ended up on the Manchester Ship Canal then the River Mersey(?) Have you ever been tempted to take The Rum Wench that route? Or isn't it suitable for canal boats?
No I’m learning editing as i go and it takes me hours and hours to make one video 😂😂😂 and Yes I have been up the ship canal … I did show photos of it in an earlier video 😄🏴☠️
Looked like a load of fun. That weaver is a stunning river. Can't believe I didn't go down there. I need to go back and do that. Great drone shots. Good music Mrs. Take care.
Oh it’s beautiful Will and there is plenty of water 😂😄🏴☠️
Brilliant vlog! Thank you all. xx
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Great choice of your toons to go with the chilled river scenes this week Heidi! Xxx
Thank you Barbara 😃🏴☠️
Thanks for sharing a little bit of fun and a good life. Threesome looked more like a five-some, oh my bad you are talking about the boats. ;) Keep them coming although I'm a day late. Later
Thanks Richard and the best thing about UA-cam is you can watch at a time that’s suits you at your leisure 😄🏴☠️
Great to see you having fun with friends love the boys showing off with their thrusting ( oooh mrs ) if you have the gadgets use it although not the beat sync on my decks lol
😂 I want bow thrusters!
Now that seemed like a great Vlog my friend. Like a little party time was it not. Very good enjoyed it very much. Cheers for all the hard work. 🙃😊
Thanks so much Kevan 😄🏴☠️
Absolutely brilliant sis. Have a fantastic safe weekend. Love you xxxx
Thanks Mick, take good care of yourself x x
Great vlog....as usual. It looked like you all had an amazing time... 🏴☠️ Bow thrusters are great when used in the right way. A lot of boaters use when not necessary. No wonder they're always breaking... 🏴☠️
Oh if I had one Jock, I would use it all the time 😂😂
Thanks for the video…glad you’re back on the river…take care and stay safe !!
Thank you Weezer - I love it on the river 😄🏴☠️
Amazing vlog Heidi. You certainly look like you all had a fabulous time. Some fantastic videography too. Loved the drone shot of you all following each other down the river. Best wishes as always.
Phil ❤️
Thank you Phil … yes Paul whipped out his drone … I didn’t dare get mine out as it was so windy and I can’t fly and cruise 😂😂
Amazing... What an adventure. Really great vlog.
Thanks Luke 😄🏴☠️
Brilliant as always. Thankyou
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Great vlog heidi as always! With two of my favourite vloggers Tony and Helen, I can just imagine the laugh you had with them two! haha :)
😂😂 she is off her rocker 😂😂
Thanks Heidi for another entertaining vlog, some of these are getting quite naughty so am watching after the 9pm watershed 😁😁😁
😂😂 I have to tick so many boxes on UA-cam - over 18s only, not made for kids, contains swearing etc it’s a nightmare 😂😂
Fantastic vlog Ivy, loved it. Heather & John xxx
😂😂😂
I will make it to the Weaver one day. I opted for the Trent instead.
I love the Trent 😄🏴☠️
Great vlog, I follow you all so it was lovely to see you all together. The river weaver looks huge. ❤
Aww thanks Sheila 😄🏴☠️
Poor Rosie doesn’t look happy 🤣🤣🤦♂️
There is no pleasing her! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I feel sorry for Jim mind. Always trying to please with his creativity 🤣🤣

Aren't friends the best?! I love human beings. 🙂 Especially the ones I love, not so much the ones I don't. And with a little rum in the tum, the boat too can do anything she wants, absolutely. Oh, now that's an air horn!, not an electric horn, got to have a diesel engine for that or an air compressor, even a very small air compressor would do the trick. TOOOOT!! When we tie our boats along side each other here in the USA, we call that "rafting" even if we're at a dock. "Sure, yes, go ahead and raft off, no problem!" When the moorage is crowded, lots of people do that for others. Hey, looks like your friends have a stern thruster too, so rude, ha! 🙂 I'd bet your boat could have a bow thruster, it's just an electrical side-to-side propeller built into the hull. When I had boats, I loved cruising with friends, it was safe and we shared dreams and we created such fine memories. These days, I have a big white pickup truck and a travel trailer (a caravan) and I often go places with friends who have their own trailer too. Life is so grand. Thanks Heidi, you're the best.
Caravans are fabulous too... It's this outdoor living and friends - the simple things that make it - i adore this lifestyle
love your vlogs and sense of humour, keep up the good work and also love your music! xx
Awww thanks so much Dave 😄
Another brilliant video Heidi, back on form, keep it up, ❤😁👍
Thank you Phillip 😄🏴☠️
Nothing wrong with a good 3 sum 😳
😂😂
If you recall I sent a comment about ‘Lick the Tins’ canal location video.
The location was on the south end of the Oxford Canal in Oxford on the Thames below Osney Bridge and in the area of Isis lock. Apparently the warehouse is still there.
So a good guess of yours saying it’s more than likely down south!!!
Aww thanks John, yes i didn’t recognise it as any of these northern canals 😄🏴☠️
Thanks for her another awesome vlog Heidi. I can't cruise at present due to I'll health so joining you on these journeys is especially lovely for me. Can I ask what him was up to behind you in the closing scene ? Lol I do see them up to no good occasionally in you shots! Has haa!
Aww get well soon 😄🏴☠️❤️
Enjoyed the video as always. Saw black smoke coming from the engine and wondered how much fuel it was using. Might need to service the fuel injection system. I'm not familiar with the small engine on narrowboats. Smallest engine I have worked on was 600 horsepower so a bit different 😅. Take care and be well 😊.
It’s because I was thrashing her to decoke the exhaust …. She had a top end overall and new reconditioned injectors when I first got her … she spends most of her time in idle so it’s good to give her a good blast 😄🏴☠️ she is only 18hp 😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Thanks for the information. Something similar is done with the ships boilers. As carbon builds up on the interior of boilers, steam will be injected and blows the soot out of the furnace and out the stack. So somewhat similar.
Brilliant Vlog , love watching these.
We where in the leigh arms having dinner with our boat builder going through plans for the build. One of his yards is just across the river from there. Ps we're having bow thrusters :)
Oooh I’m so jealous already 😂😂 who is the builder and what type you going for ? 🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate guy named Darren New Concept Boats. We have gone for a widebeam 60ft by 12ft.
