      A levy on the private marina's along that stretch would help. Instead of this incessant creeping on the CC license.

    Heidi, what a nightmare. Good on you for pushing through. The cormorants were hilarious, l thoroughly enjoyed the segment and your humour. Adriana captured you beautifully. You are a beautiful soul ❤️

    I remember days of yesteryear, drinking rum, with such good cheer.
    My time has passed, while now I'm old. my days at sea were strong and bold.
    So now it's time, to sit and see, it's Heidi now the one at sea.
    I wait to watch it every week, a boat so long, and just so sleek.
    I raise my cup, and wish her well. Enjoy each day, cause getting old is hell.

    Totally agree about taking your time and exploring. As for that damn Pennywort it's a nightmare. We were at Beeston several months ago and had the same issue. It might be soft but it weighs a ton when you try to lift it out. As you say continuous cruisers should get a discount for keeping the canals navigable. Cheers until next time..🥃

    It's a shame that the Canal and River Trust doesn't see fit to actually maintain the canals. However, I'm sure that the executives are getting very well paid. Hope you find further cruising to be less stressful. Be well and stay safe. 😊

      CRT awarded a multi million £ contract exact amount unknown to a company called Arcadis who manage and maintain along with their partners Binnies.Arcardis have been providing this service since 2011.i would suggest CRT in some areas are not getting value for money,as always the end user suffers.

    Oh my word, what a journey! I'm always so impressed with how much you know about your boat, and how much you pay attention to her. How beautiful that cruise was ... maybe you didn't notice it, as busy as you were, but we did. That walk outside the zoo sure was pretty. Your explorations are super, I love them, better than any big city shit anywhere. 🙂 The Cormorants (and their discussions) were great fun ... and the photos/videos really gorgeous. Adriana's ditty is my most favorite of all, simply excellent. Heidi, I hope your shoulder feels better soon, maybe with a another wee tit of rum, cheers!

A machete on your bow comes to mind..... though if the price of a licence has gone up so should the maintenance. I really look forward to Friday mornings Heidi, it's 6.00am and the coffee is poured as we board the Rum Wench. You could have done with a few of us really on board this week.

    The state of the canals and towpaths is one of the main reasons why I’m selling my boat. Twice I've nearly badly injured my leg stepping off the boat in to deep holes on the over grown bank edge. The first time was last year near Cosgrove on the GU, that time I got my leg out no problem just a bit of a scrape on my shin. The last time was on the Lester line earlier this year, in the middle of nowhere, my foot got stuck. I had to sit there in pain holding on to my centre line to stop the boat from drifting off for about 20 minutes, it felt like hours, I called to a passing boat for help (massive thanks to John, you’re a life saver) John tied my boat up then helped me get my foot out by digging with his hands in the wet mud, it took about 10 minutes. After a cup of tea and a laugh about what could have happened if no one had come along I thanked John again as he had to be on his way. I stayed moored up for a couple of days before moving on as I had trouble standing. I know the CRT is losing money but they need to check the towpaths and fill the holes before something really bad happens. Just one of the joys of being a single boater.

      @TheNarrowboatPirate  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I grew up in and around that area, lived 3 minutes away from your mooring for 10 years, and always lived along the coast. I now work in the docks over in Liverpool, and I have never seen a narrowboat on the Mersey. Obviously, they do it, but wow, how rare. I am surprised you didn't spend time in the boat museum as you moored on its doorstep.

    Only found your Chanel the other day and you’re just outside my Home town Chester 😊 Hope when you move on you get to stop off closer to Chester city centre and get to explore, may walk the Roman walls or see the oldest Race Course in the Uk… there’s loads of history and things to do. 🙂
    Safe travels ⛴️🐾🥃

    Hiya Heidi, looking at all the weed problems which I am sure yours is not the only one, are we saying the CRT are NOT doing what they should by maintaining the waterway?? What do boaters pay their license fee for?? OOH!! of course the CRT boards bonus of course and their OUTRAGEOUS salaries. OK groan over, have a nice one..

    How do you stay so positive! That's a crazy amount of growth. Surprised the weed cutters haven't been out. Even the River Welland in the Fens gets a regular trim and there's rarely any boats there - probably to do with drainage rather than navigation.... BTW, I just completed on my NB "Snug" today...adventure awaits!

    Look in the garden supplies for a 4 tine rake. The bent tines are very strong.
    I think it would have many uses for you.

    Hi Heidi, and beautiful little Bonny, wow, what a hard journey you had so far with all that weed, that is so incredible you think that Canal trust will clean it up really is ridiculous. Anyway I’m glad you’re both safe , love and appreciation Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 I’m on the big island 🏝️

    Cheers Heidi! Good to see you both together again! I watched last week's vlog and the river, it was interesting to see where you stayed etc. This week the weeds were too much for me watching you struggle and try and get it all out of your way..... Hope the cruising gets better, and always enjoy when you are enjoying the journey. Thanks again for making my Thursday more enjoyable!!!!

      I show the positives and negatives of boat life such as the wonderful second half of the video …. If I only showed the good bits it isn’t real life and a true vision of boating 😃🏴‍☠️
