We have been following your videos for a few weeks now and love your adventures. We have hired from Chirk Marina a few times and love the Llangollen Canal. Going over the ponycysyllte aqueduct was an amazing experience.
I love your videos, all of them, but for some reason this one really struck home and made me miss being on my boat and being on the water. Boating here in Puget Sound (and western Canada) is quite different than narrowboating, but still we all have a boat and it's on the water and I maneuvered my boat too. Ah sigh. Oh, yes, we feel the same way about wind here too. Maybe sailboaters enjoy the wind, but powerboaters and narrowboaters don't!! You may not post your videos for a week or so after you were there, and maybe none of us are on the boat with you (maybe thank heavens for that!!), but know that we're with you, especially solo boaters, we're right in your right hand back pocket. 🙂 Thanks Heidi. Your roof is gorgeous. Keep your bottom wet. Cheers!
I travel solo a lot on a small cruiser. 2019 I went to Llan for the Eisteddfod. Soloing locks I'm used to (that trip was 400 miles 600 locks in total) but on the Llan they have a special 'gotcha' for soloists, lift bridges. The bridges themselves are not really issue, the problem is that the landing stages are on the opposite bank to the lifting mechanism. So if you moor correctly, cross the bridge and open it - you can't back. Great planning! I usually just nose up to the bridge and hop off with a long rope I can keep hold of while I open the bridge, then pull the boat through by hand.
Yeah they don’t like you nosing bridges with a 22 tonne steel boat unfortunately but I managed a way through them all by going diagonal and faffing about … very similar to my adventures on the Peak forest and Leeds Liverpool 😃🏴☠️
Looking at the fake pastrami, I was reminded of a bijou rhymette: There was a young lady from Crewe, Who said as the Bishop withdrew: The vicar is quicker, and slicker and thicker, and two inches longer than you. A Wurst should be celebrated by its girth... Happy days.
Hi to you.the jolly rum pirate.your truly superb vlog this week was so brilliantly captivating viewing.just super epic entertainment.you could not ask for such an undeniable amazingly inspirational pirate channel than yours.you surely have astonishing enthusiasm for fantastic adventurous pirate activities.just leisurely cruising the cut.this was so phenomenally intriguing to watch in its entirety.your extremely remarkable journey through such lovely unspoilt tranquil countryside in all it glory.it looks so unbelievably fascinating to see the magical autumnal colourful leaves beside the canal.what a treasure for sure.brilliant drone footage over the picturesque fields.which was so stunningly beautiful.I liked your superb steadfast determination for going through those many arduous locks.by yourself.just so spontaneously fabulous.stay safe.tony
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Sure thing. Really enjoying the channel. We have nothing comparable to narrowboats or canals where I live. Continued safe travels.
It would be great if those paddles played music as you winched them up and down. Like barrel organ music or something like that. So is it Wales for Christmas Heidi. x
Morning Heidi. Well, Heidi, I must take my hat off to you. Handling those locks, all the work and maintenance involved with the narrow boat. You never seem to get flustered, and work hard. Great trip along the canal. Keep that fire burning and keep warm. Have a good weekend ... x
Harleston and that dam shallow canal it really does bring back bad memories of running aground time after time and now with even lower water levels you are welcome to it lol,but again a great video Heidi
Hi Heidi, It's not always that way round with the lock numbers. The Marple flight and the locks on the Ashton canal are numbered with the lowest being number one. Great video and music, as always. Cheers.
Oh wow really … how bizarre as it’s usually always the top lock is number 1 😂😂 there will be some reason or story behind why they are different no doubt … I would love to know why 😃🏴☠️
Hi Heidi! Really enjoyed this video. My friend and I are going from Whittington wharf on Friday up to llangollen so hopefully we will pass you and say hello 👋
You need a Tilly in ya life x I don't like to think of you as alone. A little woofer is amazing x Iv got a rescue Glorious George x a bloody nightmare but so adored x
Hi my Piratical lass, posted to you this morning with Lisa and Paul. It looks as if it went very well but of course you love chatting.Will post more when I've watched this video, till then X
Heidi, enjoyed seeing the English countryside, and you always know how much and when to play your beautiful music for us. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Deb
My favorite Canal (Llangollen). I think this was where you were when I found this channel. Keep the coal coming so that the inside of your boat doesn't freeze. With all this rain the canals must be filling up for winter. Nice warm jacket you got on, woke up at -4 C this morning. That guy's jack russell made me miss my jacks. I know how you feel about being outside in the fall. My favorite time of the year and I'll be splitting wood all day.
Hello Heidi, another great video, some beautiful Countryside and on the Llangollen Canal Luv watching yr Vlogs, your roof looks amazing done a great job well done, and absolutely luv the Rum bottle will after look for one, look forward to the next, take care John n Linda.
Hi just watched another one of your videos. I like the way you think , I would be just like you inside on the bad days and outside on the good days. Keep making these fantastic videos. Best wishes as always.👍🏻☠️👍🏻
Don’t know why your channel popped up on my feed but I am finding it very peaceful at a time in my life when things are very challenging. Thank you new sub
The Llangollen is on my bucket list. It looks beautiful..another great vlog, it wore me out just watching you cope with those locks on your own !!! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
What a zest for life you have! I wish I could pass along the amazing weather we’re having here in Collingwood, Ontario, on the shores of Georgian Bay. A high of 23 degrees and sunny today! Quite windy, which you wouldn’t like, but the air smells like wine and the long, cold winter we know is coming means we love every minute of this. Love you, girl. May your locks always be open and your mooring spots nifty. Stay well. John, Ontario, Canada
Thank you Heidi, nice video, 8 degree's, it's,30 here and drops to 20 at night no Aircon just a fan, take care Heidi as always keep the rum cool,Mick Thailand
Busy time, preparing for Winter, are you on a time schedule? Hopefully Winter will top up the canals and the reservoirs so you don't have to worry about getting stuck. I do love the community =-) Have a great week and take care =-)
Cheers Heidi good to see ya on that live today I mist the live but saw it earlier on the golly will be rocking this winter everybody seems to be heading there .have a Top week lass 🙂🎹🦢✌️
Lovely cruise you did good on the locks single handed makes more for you to do. Shame to have to walk down the newly painted roof it does look good watched you painting it worked hard you did. CRT needs to do the trimming always have to keep the bush trimmed Ha Ha catch you on the next vlog and follow you along the llangollen stay safe. Ed 40 S of Vegas XXXX
Well me darlin congratulations on hitting the 11k mark for subscribers, and just a month or so I was predicting !0k by Christmas so well done. That was a delightful cruise although a lot of locks for you as a single hander. As for the cold we have both electric gloves and socks and also hand warmers about the size of a cigarette case in which you put these sticks which you light, they are good with a hoodie pocket. What a lovely Jack Russell that was,they're such smart dogs.So melittle Darlin stay safe stay warm and happy cruising.Our weather has been very warm for the season in the teens C by mid afternoon andaround 6-8c at night. but we have another Tropical storm for the week end but they say it will be a rain event (up to 100mm)but less wind than "Fiona" Bye for now, Luvz ya lots XXX
Ahoy Heidi! It is Thursday my favorite day of the week. I look forward to your vlogs because you never disappoint. Lovely scenery on this journey to Llangollen. Can’t wait to see where you take us next. Take care and stay safe out there. 🏴☠️❣️🏴☠️❣️🏴☠️❣️🏴☠️
Great video - We were with ben and emily for dinner last night on their boat and they said you were close by - seems a few of us boaters are on the same bit of the Langollen! hopefully see you around :)
Seeing you twice in one day, what a bonus for me. You coped very well doing the locks by yourself. Just a slight brush with those tree branches, but no harm done. It's about time CRT trimmed their bushes. 🤪 You are looking really well Heidi, must be all that grog. xx
Thanks Lovely Heidi. for taking us along on this great cruise with beautiful views and great drone footage. By the way I love your "Lady Garden", it's a brilliant tune. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Another great video Heidi !! I really like your drone footage - I am impressed (I am not coordinated and electronics DO NOT LIKE ME). Looking forward to spending the Winter with you this year. So carry on Pirate Lady --- ARGHHH!!
Yes like the Llangollen, been on it 3 times. Ya right about getting out n about even when it's cold n windy, fresh air n rum, Fantastic 🌝👏cheers Heidi,
Great to see the reservoir from the air! We NEARLY walked up the Hurleston locks just to see them - but the weather wasn't really in our favor then as it wasn't for you that first day. Cheers!
when we 1st hired a narrow boat we got to bosley locks to find out it was not in use so i reversed about a quarter of a mile and david who was with us held one of the ropes as he walked along the toepath
You're new Lady Garden tune is very pretty. It reminds me of something else...I'm not sure what it is, but is it Kate Bush? Unfortunately, I missed you pulling everything down under the trees! I'll have to go and watch that again!
What a enjoyable video Heidi you are a true boater. Love the Llangollen canal looks great in the sunshine you have a rest after all that hard work take care
Just discovered your videos and have been binge watching for 2 days. Love them! Makes me realise I really should have followed my narrowboat dreams that I planned when I had the opportunity 10 years ago. Maybe one day - here's hoping....
Good vlog, thanks! It was good seeing y’all on the live chat this morning too. A couple of the other boaters keep a small paint roller handle to fish the chain up when on the “armco”. (Spelling?) Excellent mooring as well as editing. Again, thanks for allowing us to ride along.
We can't wait for your next video. We travelled the Golly last summer. It was a little hectic but well worth it. You are such a delight to watch. Love your filmingand and your woo hOOZ.
As always another great video. Warmed up to -6C here. The band played a Contra Dance gig last Friday. I was able to play on three sets. 15 minute sets rough on my bruised arm and hand. I was able to dance three sets. That was all the battered vertebrae could handle. The fun was worth the pain. Keep warm my friend.
Loving the vlog. Was it last year you where on the Llangollen. That mooring spot does look gorgeous. Glad you had an easy time with those locks. Take care
Yes but it’s the only place with water and no stoppages at the moment … this year has been an absolute nightmare with all the closures 😂😂 and now winter stoppages have come in 😂😂
Heidi... Those lovely canals have my wife and I's thoughts running wild.. seriously considering giving it a go on the canals .. we've done the great loop already.. Would 2 yanks survive the canals you reckon? From the lovely folks I've seen I think yes😊

I make little candles with the baby bell wax, just squeeze it round a piece of string. The grandkids think it's a marvellous trick xx
Ohh fabulous idea as I eat packets of them 😂😂
We have been following your videos for a few weeks now and love your adventures. We have hired from Chirk Marina a few times and love the Llangollen Canal. Going over the ponycysyllte aqueduct was an amazing experience.
Oh yes, it’s absolutely amazing ❤️
I love your videos, all of them, but for some reason this one really struck home and made me miss being on my boat and being on the water. Boating here in Puget Sound (and western Canada) is quite different than narrowboating, but still we all have a boat and it's on the water and I maneuvered my boat too. Ah sigh.

Yeah they don’t like you nosing bridges with a 22 tonne steel boat unfortunately but I managed a way through them all by going diagonal and faffing about … very similar to my adventures on the Peak forest and Leeds Liverpool 😃🏴☠️
Looking at the fake pastrami, I was reminded of a bijou rhymette:
There was a young lady from Crewe,
Who said as the Bishop withdrew:
The vicar is quicker, and slicker and thicker,
and two inches longer than you.
A Wurst should be celebrated by its girth...
Happy days.
😂😂😂 they were an Aldi special but not as nice 😂😂 love the poem hahaa
ha ha, never heard that one before. love it.
the wind is every boaters worst nightmare
Yeah I hate it 😂🏴☠️
Love your fog horn it’s fab ! Makes me smile every time
It’s not my favorite canal, it’s my favorite channel, roll on tonight 😊

It would be great if those paddles played music as you winched them up and down. Like barrel organ music or something like that. So is it Wales for Christmas Heidi. x
I hope so 😃🏴☠️
Your freshly painted roof looks so gorgeous, I love how you take care of the ol' vessel. Cheers, Heidi!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Morning Heidi.
Well, Heidi, I must take my hat off to you. Handling those locks, all the work and maintenance involved with the narrow boat.
You never seem to get flustered, and work hard.
Great trip along the canal. Keep that fire burning and keep warm. Have a good weekend ... x
Thank you Bill 😃🏴☠️
Harleston and that dam shallow canal it really does bring back bad memories of running aground time after time and now with even lower water levels you are welcome to it lol,but again a great video Heidi

No idea why.
Doesn't make any difference, either way they can be hard work when on your own.

Cheers guys … I still crap myself with the drone 😂😂😂
Your by-washes are called spillways by the old British Waterways staff. A right pain when they throw the bow off course. Capt John
They have been called by-washes for the last 11 years since I’ve been on the canals 😄🏴☠️ I love them, it’s like cruising the high seas 🤣🤣
Thanks once again Heidi. Ho the roofs looking really good you’ve made a great job of that Captain. We love ya lots, Trevor & Linda ❤
Aww thanks so much guys 😃🏴☠️

when we 1st hired a narrow boat we got to bosley locks to find out it was not in use so i reversed about a quarter of a mile and david who was with us held one of the ropes as he walked along the toepath
Oh the joys of boating 😂
Glad you covered up Rosie and Jim before they got too active.
😂😂
You're new Lady Garden tune is very pretty. It reminds me of something else...I'm not sure what it is, but is it Kate Bush? Unfortunately, I missed you pulling everything down under the trees! I'll have to go and watch that again!
😂 thank you 🏴☠️
Another brilliant video. Keep an eye out for Dan, Sam & Charlie on Abel's Ark..!
Yes I love Dan 😃🏴☠️
Heidi great live stream on Thursday 👍 when do you think you will be coming down to the black country would love to see you and have a chat 👍
I’ve no idea when I’ll be there next … maybe September next year 😃🏴☠️
We live not far from hurleston locks if we had known we would have come and helped you through them. Fantastic video as ever xx
Aww that would have been fabulous .. they a bit of a pain because of the position of the ladders 😂🏴☠️
Back on the Llangollen, nice.
Its a safe bet as it’s open and no closures until January 😂😂
Thanks for a great video 😊
Thanks Rickon 🏴☠️😃
Awesome vids keep em cumin 😂 been to look at a wide beam today 189000 don’t think I can afford that some really nice narrow for 80
Thank you 😄🏴☠️ Narrowboats can go more places 😉

What a enjoyable video Heidi you are a true boater. Love the Llangollen canal looks great in the sunshine you have a rest after all that hard work take care
Thanks Kath 😄🏴☠️
Ah still giving your tunes risque titles "Lady Garden"! Or is it just my mucky mind!? Great wee video.
Obviously your mind as I am sweet and innocent 😂😂🏴☠️
Of course you are...har de har!🤣
Great vlog I see Jim carnt leave rosey alone its every time ya stop 😆 🤣

Nice one Heidi 👍 that's a real fancy Rum bottle ..Stay Free and Safe Travels 🙏
Yes it’s very posh … I’ll keep filling it up with cheap rum once I’ve emptied it 😂😂
Just discovered your videos and have been binge watching for 2 days. Love them!
Makes me realise I really should have followed my narrowboat dreams that I planned when I had the opportunity 10 years ago. Maybe one day - here's hoping....
Aww thanks Lesley 😃🏴☠️ I really hope you follow your dream soon 😃
Good vlog, thanks! It was good seeing y’all on the live chat this morning too. A couple of the other boaters keep a small paint roller handle to fish the chain up when on the “armco”. (Spelling?) Excellent mooring as well as editing. Again, thanks for allowing us to ride along.
Ooh that’s a good idea, so I don’t dirty my knees 😂😂😂 thanks Hobb 😃🏴☠️
We can't wait for your next video. We travelled the Golly last summer. It was a little hectic but well worth it. You are such a delight to watch. Love your filmingand and your woo hOOZ.
Aww thanks Kelli … I’m just taking my time now … cruising once a week so I can work and explore 😄🏴☠️
Great vlog, Captain 👌. That bush needed trimming... it nearly knocked your sausage off 😮
😂😂😂
As always another great video. Warmed up to -6C here. The band played a Contra Dance gig last Friday. I was able to play on three sets. 15 minute sets rough on my bruised arm and hand. I was able to dance three sets. That was all the battered vertebrae could handle. The fun was worth the pain. Keep warm my friend.
Awww wow it’s taking you a long time to recover from your injuries … you were very very lucky
I look forward to your vlogs, never a dull moment, always something to have a laugh. Looking forward to your winter adventures on Llangollen. Cheers🍷💚
Thank you so much Sheila 😃🏴☠️
Thank you Heidi. Wonderful video. Love that rum bottle
Ahoy! I love it too … I’m going to fill it with cheap stuff once I’ve drank it all 😂😂 it’s a bottle you keep forever that 😂😂🏴☠️
Loving the vlog. Was it last year you where on the Llangollen. That mooring spot does look gorgeous. Glad you had an easy time with those locks. Take care
Yes but it’s the only place with water and no stoppages at the moment … this year has been an absolute nightmare with all the closures 😂😂 and now winter stoppages have come in 😂😂
Such a beautiful canal

Hi Heidi, that mooring is one of our favourites, and you got our boat in the shot as you passed Swanley 🙂
Ooh did it - hellooooooo 😃🏴☠️
Heidi... Those lovely canals have my wife and I's thoughts running wild.. seriously considering giving it a go on the canals .. we've done the great loop already.. Would 2 yanks survive the canals you reckon? From the lovely folks I've seen I think yes😊
Of course you would! Loads of yanks come and do it 😃❤️🏴☠️
Cheers 🥂
Thanks so much Mark 🏴☠️
