From Pirate to Old Far*t | BOAT LIFE [Ep 105]

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- I continue my adventure cruising my boat up the Shroppie - The Shropshire Union Canal travelling with a fellow single handed boater. We survive the ordeal of Tyrley locks which are famous on the canal network for their very fierce by-washes and moor up in an absolutely stunning location for a couple of days, I hurt my back breaking a mooring hammer and then continue onwards to Norbury.

Good ol heidi she's bang tidy as she coasts along she makes a ripple whilst drinking her favourite tipple,shes been in a rut because she needed a hair cut,but she's ok now as pirates are strong as they sail along oh rrrrr
You are very welcome xx
Pusser's Rum supplied rum to the British Navy, when every sailor got a rum ration. The practice was stopped on July 31, 1970, know as Black Tot Day. It was used to make the first cocktail, called Grog. A mixture of rum, water, lime juice and brown cane sugar. When you drink Pusser's Rum, you are drinking British Navy history. No, I don't work for the company.
Always remember: Drinking Rum before 10 am makes you a pirate, not an alcoholic :}
another great episode, Thank you for making my Thursday a bit happier!
Thank you Craig 😃🏴☠️
My mentor taught me whenever the sun was above the yardarm it was time for drink!
Buy a hammer with a longer shaft, I cringe when I see you hammering those metal spikes in, so easy to miss and break a finger or two, never mind taking all the skin off, you dont need a heavy head, just one with a longer shaft.......This was spoken by experience, it didnt half hurt I can tell you.
I just get from the chandlers, I’ve not seen a big un in them though ? 😂😂
4:40 lettin the girls hang out
Another good vlog market Drayton looks lovely excellent foot tapping tunes as well )
Hi Heidi, TH-cam decided to drop your episode 39 on me, I watched it and was totally hooked. I binge watched every episode from the start and have finally caught up only to find I am getting withdrawal symptoms only watching 1 episode a week, never mind keep 'em coming. Your filming is very convincing, who would have thought a 73 year old would have shed a tear over the passing of a little pug he's never met.
Awww thank you for watching Stu and for leaving such a lovely comment 😄 aww poor little Puds, it crossed the rainbow bridge in October and he is still very missed ❤️🏴☠️
1:10 p m………the morning was a Shit show…..thank goodness it’s Thursday….your videos many times… cure the days ills. 💪💪💪💪💪☠️☠️ carry on…
I hope your day gets better 😃🏴☠️
Woohoo Thursday again 😃 great mooring spot, fantastic view of the Wrekin 😊 good to see Rosie and Jim made up 😂 safe travels ❤🌈
Thank you and yes it was a gorgeous spot 😃🏴☠️
Been so looking forward to this week's video.
Aww thank you ❤️🏴☠️
I rewound thought you said nipples 😂lol
As you traveled through the canal, I think of how it was built by hand. It must have been a sight to see. Thanks for sharing. Be well and stay safe.
I know, it’s amazing really isn’t it ❤️
The Navigators amazing how they were built.
❤❤❤❤❤❤U Heidi!Chicago, IL USA 🇺🇸 😊😮😂
Thank you 😄❤️🏴☠️
We are annual holiday boaters and live in Market Drayton so know these waters well. I have spent many hours helping boaters through Tyrely. Great fun. We have binge watched all 100+ episodes. Simply magical. You are very very clever, talented and special lady. Someone we now feel we know like a best friend. Your vlogs and indeed your music; inspires. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH Heidi. Tony & Carol ooaaargh.
Aww thanks so much for watching so many, that means so much to me 😄🏴☠️
Beautiful views Heidi cause your in them. Sorry about your back. A nice massage may help. Keep them coming. Enjoy your rear end. 😂
Aww thanks Keith, such a charmer 😂😂
☠️ 💰 💀 Do they have the law in the U.K. that boaters are responsible (legally & financially) for any and ALL damage their Wakes might cause? 🧭 ☠ ⚓ 🏴☠️
Unfortunately not 😂
OLD? YOU OLD???
Not hardly, you're still such a youngin' my darlin' pirate 😁💙
Haha I wish 😂🏴☠️
Loved the views from the boat 👍🏻
It’s a wonder “Jim” hasn’t put his back out with all those positions he gets into with “Rosie” 😂😂
Hope you’ll soon feel better
A few more medicinal Rums & you’ll be ship shape in no time 👍🏻.xx
😂😂 cheers 🥃🏴☠️
Husband and I stumbled across your channel from Cruising the Cut and we love you. :) I know we're past your back trouble, but a word to help, hopefully: a TENS unit. It's a miracle worker for all kinds of muscle pain, especially in the back! You'll be ready for next time!
Awww thanks so much for joining me 😄🏴☠️ I love David, he is an amazing guy - very very kind … I’ll have a look at a TENS unit - thank you 😄🏴☠️
Greetings from Whidbey Island, Washing State, USA. Another lovely look at your life on the rum..er..run. Thank you for sharing. On a side note, I am not a big fan of electronic music, but I enjoy really your music.
Aww thanks Richard 😃🏴☠️
Heidi, don't speak too much of lavendar and ... stuff ... but rather self-asuredly reek as you do now: of Rum and Machine Oil 😉
😂😂
Two-hundred-five comments (at this juncture) and you've answered every one of them! THAT is extraordinarily diligent of you. No need to respond to this one however, I'm just leaving a comment: Great content, production, quality and especially presentation! Cheers.
Awwww thank you so much 😄🏴☠️ I do try to log in every evening and respond when I get chance … I feel if someone has taken time out of their day to leave a comment it deserves a reply ❤️🏴☠️
Everytime you show the new mural of the Rum Wench I marvel at the skill and design of the artwork. He did such a wonderful job!
Yes he really did considering it was the depth of winter 🥶 😂😂
He is good at big dots too!
@@lsnowy7758Chilly weather!
A little ditty written after hearing about your broken hammer...
If Heidi had a hammer
She'd hammer in the mooring
She'd hammer in the aft pin
All over this land.
Her hammer though is broken,
Her hammer is just a token,
But Heidi's got a love between
Her brothers and her sisters, ah-ah
And a glass of Rum in hand.
Love the in your end oh's... 😂❤
😂😂😂
Hi Heidi....I saw an amazing addition to your boat in a local antique shop today, im sure you'll love it, but alas I'm not sure I can upload a picture to the comments section...keep up the great work, from Jan, Ken & Roy on narrowboat Megan on the Shroppie...(if there's a way of uploading the pic, please let me know, you won't be disappointed...) 😉
You can send it on my socials 😄🏴☠️
Hello 👋 from across the pond, nice video. I'm busy today making honey 🍯 oil 🛢 from leftovers from last years crop . Honey oil is from that seed bearing herb that God blessed. 🙌 😇 . A must have essential oil in everyone's medicine cabinet along with rum .
Oh wow Judith haha enjoy 😄🏴☠️
Aww, Kraken is my favorite Rum! I can’t find the little nips though. Great videos!
😂😂
Good evening, Ive been binge watching from the start on my night shifts and now is the first time I can watch and wet my lips. Really enjoying the content and over the next 2 weeks I should be up to date and be able to follow as they are released. I'll comment again when I get to your latest vid.
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Hi Heidi, sorry I forgot your name when I spoke to you at Gailey Wharf. Wife said I was a numpty but my excuse is I was starstruck😂.
😂😂 lmao
Any back problems are nothing to joke about…every once in a while I do something stupid like think I’m still young and can still lift heavy items I have no business lifting …they I pay for it. 🤪🤪
😂😂 I know! It bloody hurt, I didn’t sleep properly for a couple of days … all good now though 😄🏴☠️
Here's one for you, if you're a born and bred Stokey like myself, there's a saying, thayt going oh round the Wrekin. Meaning you're not explaining yourself properly.
Thank you 😂😂
Its The Wrekin, I know because i have moored in the exact same spot and it is beautiful as you say. Sorry for the delay, only just found your channel and I'm lovin it❤
Aww thank you and thanks for watching 😃🏴☠️
This week the pirate sailed the Shroppy,broke her hammer and got quite stroppy,to make things worse she did her back in,any excuse to hit the Kraken.
Fabulous haha
If I had a Hammer
I'd Hammer in the morning
I'd Hammer in the evening
All over this land
Just like you, Heidi. Stunning views and so's the scenery x
😂😂
I grew up on military bases and used 24 hour clock. I'm surprised that you do the same. Why, I find that I'm the odd one out when I use the 24 hour clock. When you by a new hammer make sure it has a fiberglass handle they are really hard to break.
Good idea …. I’ve always used 24hr clock ⏰ I think because all my phones have defaulted to it 😂😂
Those really were some fantastic views ... smashing as always Heidi
Thank Matt 😄🏴☠️
Sorry to hear and see your hammer was broken. Nothing like a wooden one, a full metal one resonates way too much, and that's an unpleasant feeling in your wrist. Thank you for yesterday's vlog, nice variety in subjects with some original Manning music ❤
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
Hello Heidi !!! Due to some health issues in my family I have missed your videos for several weeks and was able to catch up to you today. I love the drone pictures and the back cabin and all the other things about your videos. Your channel is one of my happy places to be in life. THANK YOU for being here.
Aww I hope things get better soon and thanks so much for watching 😄❤️🏴☠️
Awww lovely vlog nice you helping each other oh my on broken hammer you must have given a mighty wacko tc now till next time The oldies 👍👋🤗🌷
It’s been very well used as I love mooring in the middle of nowhere 😄🏴☠️
Heidi and Nikki, got rather sticky, with a waft on the air that was ever so icky . They got up the locks, without losing their socks, but their nipples felt more than a tad nippy.
😂😂
Another lovely vlog. Mum and I travelled the Shroppie a long time ago (at least a decade), and I remember the narrow sections. I hope that your back gets better soon (if you can hold a straight posture it will help). Deep Heat is useful, especially if you can rub it in just before you go to bed. One of the reasons I love travelling on the canals is because you get to SEE the glorious views; I have lost count of the number of times I have driven past something wonderful without actually getting to see it! Mum came up with a useful trick to moor up when the banks are not holding mooring pins well. Drive a mooring pin at a more horizontal angle than normal until the ring is close to the ground. Then drive a second mooring pin through the ring at a similar (but opposite) angle until it's ring is close the the first. You should now have an X shape, with the apex at ground level. Repeat at the other end, and then moor up the boat through a ring as usual (but if you can get the rope through both rings it would be better), and (with a bit of luck) these will hold on looser banks.
Silly joke (to wind up people who don't 'approve' of smutty jokes); What goes in hard and stiff, and comes out wet and sticky? (wait for the disapproving responses); Chewing Gum! Why, what did you think it was?
Yes I often double pin, but this twunt went soooo fast I actually got it on my CCtv but decided not to show it, but I know who it was for future when I go passed them 😂😂😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate It would be tempting to swap their prop with one from a toy speedboat. 😀
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Revenge is best served cold. Lol more time to plot. Take care, I hope the trading goes well. =-)
Back to work thanks for your weekly vids fab your keeping my our future dream going ❤
Are you going to Crick? Lots of boats there 😄🏴☠️
That hill is the Wrekin, (Pronounced reekin) near Telford and the hills further in the distance to the right of the Wrekin are the Shropshire hills surrounding Church Stretton.
Thanks Peter 😄🏴☠️
re the hill you've mentioned in your recent post from the shropy. It's called the Wrekin.
Thanks Alan 😄🏴☠️
Love a gusher; always best to be prepared though. Yet another session that requires a cold shower; again opted for the naturist visit to the backyard veranda. New neighbor told me to let her know when the shows are; so she can invite her friend.
Lmao 😂😂
You made it all the way to 2:20 before your first "Don't be rude!" admonishment!
😂😂
You're delightful ❣️🤩🏴☠️🦜
Thank you 😂🏴☠️
I once knew a girl named Heidi, she kept her Long boat quite tiddy. She talks about her nips with her hands on her hips in a wonderful flirty way. Never crude so don't be rude, it's all about play. Someday I would like to meet her and have some Rum with her. To sit and talk or take a walk and see what might occur.
😂😂
Lol you ain’t hardly old. Your lifestyle will keep you young and fit for many years…
😄😄
Why is your speed displayed in MPH instead of KPH or knots?
Because it’s a Narrowboat and not a yacht and we are in the UK and it’s what’s we use 🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I just thought y’all used the metric system over there. Like in your automobiles.
We use MPH in our autos 😄🏴☠️
If you weren't so far down south i would of come round and given you a back massage lol x
😂😂
Should massage some warm rum into your sore back... :)
Noooo I can’t waste it 😂😂
I prefer mountains x
Hope your back gets better quickly. Love watching the vlog, as always. Loved the ditty. Where are you trading at? Blessings to you XXX
Thanks Karen.. I’ll show you the trading in next weeks video once I’ve edited it all together 😃🏴☠️
That's fantastic your vlogs make me feel so much better about life 🧬 XXX
Yea some viewing for tomorrow)
Heidi, at 9.30 min you mentioned the 'mount Snowdon', it is the Wrekin. Read all about it at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrekin
Keep it up!
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
8:25 love love love yout music. Reminds me of Jean-Michel Jarre.😊
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
I think that wasn't yr first rum before your limerick?
😂😂 it was
Man i have been watching from the very fist videos and i love every one of them you are amazing person.
Aww thanks so much for watching and your kind words 🏴☠️😃❤️
What! No inuendo comments regarding a broken shaft 😢
I know!! As I don’t script anything it just didn’t slip out … it wasn’t til i was editing it all tougher I was kicking myself 😂😂
The tin mug we call them pankins we use them in the stock camps for drinking tea out of
They are brilliant, I am going to put one in my campervan 😄🏴☠️
That Hammer looks like you can replace just the handle .
I don’t know how I would slot it in and it’s snapped off … they aren’t too expensive so I’ll get another 😄🏴☠️
You need a good long shaft Heidi for the hammer of course 🐸🐸🐸 frog on
Lmao 😂 you said shaft! 😂😂
Feel amazing! lucky old amazing 🐸🐸🐸
🐸😃🏴☠️
Hi Heidi there's some lovely colours on the canal and around xx
Yes, it’s all changing now 😄😄
Hi Heidi, you don`t need a new hammer just a new shaft.
😂😂 you said shaft heheheeeeee
Hi, ive just watched the review you did on the Jackory power bank and was wondering how youre getting on with it these day? Thanks
I love it, I’ve actually bought the big 1000 watt one now which gives me more power between charges 😃🏴☠️ I also have a bluetti in my van so it all depends what you are going to use it for 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate smashing thanks, I didn't even know you had a van 😃, excellent 👍👍
@@stokecarpanglers if you are looking at getting a power bank then I think Jackery, bluetti and eco flow are all very similar - lifepo4 lithium; so go for the best deal at the time 😄🏴☠️
@The Narrowboat Pirate thanks for that Heidi. We've just bought a little 26ft Springer so maybe we'll see you out and about someday. Safe journeys x
I think the Hill is called " The Wreking" it's just west of Telford - I climbed it years ago discovering part is an ex army shooting range!
Thanks Trev, wow I bet you crapped yourself being in a shooting range 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate It was at night and a tad shocking when the torch shone on the MOD "Danger Beware" sign - The view from the top is amazing.
I would love to send a picture of what I see every day as I go up and down the mount rainier
You can send on my socials 😄🏴☠️
Fantastic view cant wait
Isn't Innuendo French for suppository?
😂😂😂
Hi Heidi The beautiful view you were admiring is called The Wrekin. One of my favourite spots to stop. Keep up the great videos
Thank you and yes it was sooo beautiful ❤️😄
Do you have a cd of your original music?😀🇦🇺
I don’t have anyway to make CDs but most of it is available to listen / download from my website 😃🏴☠️
Arnica will help you back.....☠️
Thank you
I die mine in henna and indigo x
I know what you mean Heidi, age hurts❤
It sure does 😂😂
Old fart never,a piratical wench yes .A friend to all in need with a wild and genuine sense of humour a little on the salty side but who needs bland. Heidi is quite the musician too and a DJ at times She lives life to the fullest, she's frugal and smart and a real family lass.Apart from all that she is young at heart and definitely not old at all.
So take care darlin ,luvz ya lots XXX.❤❤❤
Aww thanks Ralph x x
Heidi is your music available somewhere?
Yes it’s all via the website 😄🏴☠️
Sorry to see your hammer gave up the ghost , you dont need to buy the complete hammer just a new stale ( handle ) .
Safe cruising.
Thank you … no idea how to get the they broken wood out though 😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate
Drill it out with a power drill ( ask a friend 😁) if I was anywhere near to where you were moored I'd happily come and sort it out for you .
You don’t need a new hammer 🔨 you just need a new shaft .😂
😂😂
Ha! No you didn't bump your head on that bridge roof! Silly goose. 🙂 It is amazing how those canals were built, dug out, shore up, etc. Oh, what a gorgeous view, open sky (even with clouds), fresh air, life is great. Oh my word, but the next morning was even more beautiful. Medicinal Kraken, amen!
Thanks for sharing your journey Heidi. Hope your back is feeling better. Best wishes, Deb
Thanks Deb 😄🏴☠️
Rum should work better than paracetamol Heidi ! 😂
😂😂
Had a FANTASTIC day more to report absolutely brilliant regards canal boats ) not got one yet but will write again soon fill you in Heidi
Fantastic
you should not have any health problems only being 25
great stuff Heidi....you make me laugh... thanks
Aww thanks Bernie 😃🏴☠️
OMG! What is that field of yellow flowers at the 7:50 mark? I love seeing swaths of flowers like that.
It’s the rape seed … beautiful 😄❤️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate oh...that makes great honey
The Rum Wench looks like she's in fine fettle. Sorry to hear about the death of your hammer, he will be remembered well. You should give the hammer a Viking funeral.
😂😂
Amazing bridges on the Shropshire canal today on your video. You're not an old fart Heidi. Take care. Enjoy your week.
Aww thanks Lucille 😄🏴☠️
Please join the Kennet & Avon you will love ❤️ it xx
I’ve heard it’s an absolute nightmare with a deep drafted boat like mine 😩 plus all my mates are up north 😂😂 - I may visit it one day 🏴☠️
Heidi your hair is fine no worries about grey nice if I had any hair .
😂😂
Tight is best. Know what I mean, Heidi?
😂😂 always tight if your big enough!
sometimes your word inflections make me laugh out loud. thank you so much for that. it makes my day.
I love that view, and the pretty girl in the picture too!
Aww thank you Maxie 😃🏴☠️
You reminded me of Bob Marley . I need a hammer .😁👍
😂😂
I'm watching your video from Australia. LOVE you adventurous spirit. ENJOY your journeys 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Heidi, do you ever think you should write a book about you life and adventures on the canals? Always looking forward to your posts! Susanne from North Central Minnesota
Aww that’s a fab idea but I don’t have the skill or the time unfortunately 😄🏴☠️
Hi Bab, another cracker this week, Like me you seem to like the Shroppie. Hang onto your busted hammer, new handles are not that difficult to find and I'm sure if you can't fit it yourself there'll be an obliging helper somewhere in the future..Stay safe.xx
Aww thanks Bob 😄🏴☠️❤️
Thanks Heidi, The Narrowboat Pirate is my Thursday treat, aaargh!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
I hate to admit it but sometimes I'm so jealous of you narrowboaters 🤦. Some of your narrowboat friends are so nice and the places you visit are just lovely. So glad I found your TH-cam channel 😊.
Aww thanks Rebecca 😃🏴☠️
Great Fun as always ! The Telegraph bridge was very interesting. You'll soon have more Rum on board than water 🍷Look forward to
your next one !
Hope your back gets better soon. X
Thanks Robert! I do have a full cupboard at the moment 😂😂
Hey Heidi, I think you were looking at the Wrekin (pronounced Reekin) but I could be wrong. Loving your work, hopefully the nippy (or 'nipular' as I call it!) mornings warm up soon 😂❤
Yes, others have confirmed, so thank you 😄🏴☠️
Black and white buildings were built before colour was invented 😜
😂😂
