- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มี.ค. 2023
- We are having quite a cold spell this March in the UK and in this weeks episode I cruise my narrowboat towards the beautiful quaint town of Whitchurch, travelling with two other boats to tackle the lift bridges. I also explore Whitchurch on a very snowy day and visit St Alkmunds Church with its stunning stained glass windows.

"The first lady pirate that doesn't sail the seas, but flows in the channels, alone with such ease.
She meets others like her, but pirate's they are not, but kind friendly long boat's that sail their yacht's.
The rum has been taken, from friend and from foe, but she returns it in kindness, as her pirate ship flows".
A cousin across the pond, God bless Heidi.
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️❤️
Another crackin video Heidi!
Kathy has written a little ditty to go in your rear entrance!!😵💫
The Run Wench, Heidi, loves her life,
And her double entendres are always rife,
With a smattering of smut,
She cruises the cut,
Having rum wet the lips with some spice.
Keep up the good work girl, we both look forward to your vlog on a Wednesday; helps lighten the week!!
Awww thank you, that’s ace 😄🏴☠️❤️
Kathy has just pointed out that I've put "Run Wench"; should have been "Rum Wench" Obviously!!! (Dyslexia rules KO!)🥴
No sail, nor crew, she has at her side, but a motor and tiller, in the channels she glide's.
She's alone with her treasure, she now calls it rum, but to take it or give it, is the rule of the thumb.
To steer such a ship, is a God given talent, with the wind at her back, is grown in such habit.
That rum that she speaks of flows just like the wind, like a ship in the bottle, no beginning nor end.
So onward she goes, from one port to another, like black beard once said that rum is a mother.😜
Brilliant 😄🏴☠️
Love the huge range of content in each of your vlogs. Canal cruising, messing with friends a walk around the character village and all the different weather you get within a few days. Love the snow scenes and the fires. And what a lovely person you are with your tales and laughing.
Awww thank you Andy 😄🏴☠️
Being stiff and a three some just works in together, it’s the spice of life.

I'm pleased to hear your music spreading across other channels, it displaces the regular ear damaging tracks 👍
Other channels ? I hope not as it’s mine hahaa but thanks so much 🎵
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I have heard your music on another boating channel (which one? Gawd knows!) but I'll pay more attention from here on & share the channel names. Should you be getting royalties? We know that TH-cam are hard on channels using copyright music. Anyway, I wrote to MikeOldfield to warn him about you & the competition.
@@JA-qi1fb it’s all copyrighted yes buts it is on Spotify, iTunes etc but not for commercial use so would be interested to see who is using it 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I was kinda pleased for you that I was hearing your music on other channels but thought it would be all legal & above board. From here on I'll note them & let you know.
Love it all.
👍👍👍👊😎
Aww thank you 🏴☠️😄
In answer to your question…Wey Home was my n/b. Lived aboard 15 years of constant cruising. Did the whole system 3 times before going back to sea delivering yachts. Fan of yours. Happy pirating. Capt John.
Oh wow fabulous …. I bet it’s such good fun on the open seas 😄🏴☠️
It was so sweet and respectful how you waited not to frighten the horse x Heidi you are lovely 😊
I always stop and turn engine off too. The riders are so happy..
😊 thank you, you are very kind 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate not kind just honest! X
Lovely vlog Heidi…really enjoyed watching it…specially when it snowed…tell us about yourself a little bit…
@@peacejames4195 watch videos 42 and 43 😃🏴☠️
Three some and Flow job ….the music ..you are funny with your innuendos 👍🤣😎
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Heidi, I love the way you promote others and that you always have kind and positive things to say about them. I love the way you talk and your accent. You’re a natural. Keep it up. Cheers!
Thank you so much! 😃🏴☠️
❤how you said hello to that kid’s Mom👍🏻
😄🏴☠️
Friday is the day
When Heidi comes to play
Sometimes saucy
Always witty
And never anything but gay :)
😄😂😂😂
When I was a Marine and Stood Guard Duty for many hours we did a few Isometric Exercises to keep limber and warm... Especially when we were stuck at a remote Gate which was rarely used and we would get cold in similar Temperatures in the high 30's to 40's. So you might look into them for standing at the Helm... I have a Rain Suit from The Bass Pro shop which I wear when out on my Bass Boat and fishing all day long in the Rain... Keeps me 100% Dry. It is to heavy to wear Backpacking so I wear a TROGG'S Top and Bottom when Hiking in the Rain.... But under both suits I wear a Prima Loft Hoodie with a full length Zipper.
You can't beat the feeling when you get a email you have made a sale, It might only be £1 or £2 pounds, but they soon add up, Lovely old Church, and nice to find out about how a place got it's name . Cheers
Yes it all adds up 😄🏴☠️
My dearest pirate Heidi
Your antics make me smile
and if my knees were younger
I'd walk five hundred mile
As it is, I'm long in tooth
With a belly shaped by cider
And I'd never leave my Sharon
I love to be inside her... warm embrace

😂😂😂 brilliant x x
Watched this video and a couple of older ones yesterday.
Today, my ear worm was Flow Job....
There I was, moored up at Audlem in my NB Otley. In just my second week of living on the canal, and I saw you sail past my window. Just as I was getting my buns out. Oi !! Stop that ! My hot cross buns out of the oven. I would have said hello, but I’m very shy. Next time I will. 🙂
Awww I’ve just been back and helped Nikki up too … twice in a day, I’m knackered 😂😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Not surprised. I could have helped if I'd known, I've sat here all day on my own, bored out of my brains :-)
Bindged watching,,YOU are so sweet,Sending love from North Carolina ❤❤
Aww thanks for watching 😄🏴☠️
Absolutely love your humour, same as mine in the gutter 😂
😂😂
Nice video. Love the snow and the dual fires.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Hi, I love your sense of humour really fun to be laugh. Love the sound of those engines they sound like the same motors we had in the milking shed when I was a kid call dad Traction motor , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
I love your innuendo's 😎
We got to have a laugh haven’t we 😄🏴☠️
Hi Heidi, It's Jeremy here, as appearing at 8.57 with Lauren; it was such a lovely surprise to meet you in real life on our epic journey and thank you for including us in your vlog. Wow, wasn't the weather changeable that week! Take care and safe cruising. xxx
Thank you and thanks for the rum 😄🏴☠️❤️
Thanks!
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
With the Rum Wench all covered in snow , what can you do when theres no where to go ?
A tot of rum and a glowing fire keeps out the cold and makes you perspire.
Its not so bad when your cheeks are all rosy tucked up in a pirate boat all nice and cosy .
Aww brilliant 😄😄
There was a Rum Wench named Heidi
With a pirate boat all neat and tidy
Her rum bottles gleaming
Her coffee pot steaming
And Rosie and Jim beaming widely
John & Margaret
Nb Daydream
I love the buildings that have made it through time. Magical to wander around old towns. Hope you have heaps of coal brrr. Thank you as always for the vlog, I love Friday mornings coffee, toast and the Rum Wench. =-) Take care.
Thank you, you too 😄🏴☠️

Aloha from HAWAII. ENJOY
Aloha 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate
Have fun stay safe please stay ALOHA
Hello Heidi checking in from the Maritimes here in Canada. I am a 69 year old retiree. I am enjoying the English canal system through your camera lense. You tell a good storey of the history of the canal system . And of the full time cruisers lifestyle. We have a camper van so we do land travel instead of water travel .
I will enjoy a shot of Canadian Club tonight as I watch some more of your videos. Have a great day. Tom in the Maritimes at the NB,-NS border.
Cheers Thomas 🥃🏴☠️
thank you for the video
Thanks for watching 😄🏴☠️
Heidi ... hope you got all warm and toasty ... thanks for another fun adventure ... CHEERS!
I did! And thank you 😄🏴☠️
Well i have seen it all now, Rum Wench fitness video out soon 😂 lift and sip, lift and sip 🥃safe travels amd keep smiling 😊

🤣🤣
🙂🐿🌈❤️
😂😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate still funny, still laughing 😂
Well, this channel is just an awesome find 😎
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Chilly Bab..
Girl after my heart with the snowball fight ❄️😂 I can't resist either 😊 great to see you exploring the local towns, what a beautiful looking church. Keep safe ❤
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
I just had vision of two solar panels being on each of your shoulders to keep your....warm. Love your wit and clips. 😍😎
Okay you edited the part where the clouds gathered and the bolt of lightening came down and caused the mega hat hair from entering the church ;)
Nice oven mitts that Nikki was wearing! ;)
Thanks Heidi for sharing with us. Best wishes for a safe, warm and fun week. Deb (Daffodils will be flowering soon.... 😀)
Fingers crossed! I’m really ready for spring now 😂😂
Oooooooh..... That pipe organ!!!!! 1894!!!!! Wow!!!!! As an amateur pipe organized I can say the oldest organ that I've ever been able to play was a 1936 and it wasn't in the best prepare at the time. That is an impressive church and organ and all those beautiful stained-glass windows!!!!! 🎶
I know it was soooo gorgeous ❤️🏴☠️
Some people watch hipsters do yoga on paddleboards on warm crystal clear seas, but I'm much prefering the cold northern lass version on the back of boat 😅
😂😂😂😂
Great video! Really enjoyed working as a team, good memories 🥰 Loving the poems in your back cabin 😜🤣 xx
😂😂 thank you
Honestly the dirty jokes make my day 😂
😂😂 we got to have a laugh don’t we 😂🏴☠️
As the saying goes "it's better to laugh than cry" 😀
Thanks
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
This is very original, my old Dad spaketh it after he and Mum came back from a holiday in Wales (their last one) in 1979. They'd been to see over the amazingly ornate and richly decorated interior of Chirk Castle. Dad was so good at ditties and the like - afraid its not nautical tho' Dad was a yachtsman as was my grandfather, and my 3rd gt grandfather (1775 on) who was a narrowboat owner on the Erewash out of Long Eaton & Sawley).
'Ere tis -
There once was a farmer from Chirk,
Who pulled up his cart with a jerk,
His load of manure
Was most insecure
And he was up to his eyes in his work.
Boom boom!! Ha Ha!😆
😂😂
Nikki caught your snowball and threw it back at you like a pro! Impressed! ❄️ LOVE your show Heidi! ❤
Yeah I apparently throw like a girl 😂😂 thanks for watching 🏴☠️
I have been away for a while. Great to hear your accent again. I see you have the heated vest on keeping all warm.
Danke!
Thank you
As a long retired meteorologist I resent that remark about “those weather people”. OK, I know we don’t always get it right, but you couldn’t fault us on this one!
They were spot on! 😂😂 I only mentioned it as often I’m setting off for a lovely cruise with no rain and finished the day drenched 😂😂
Great vlog, as usual 👍 That fresh snow looked beautiful 🌨️☃️❄️ There hasn’t been any down here. Take care and stay safe xxx ❤️
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
Luvit...watching from Africa..miss our holiday on a narrowboat but awesum memories..thanx luv Gwennel 💜💜
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️

My wife and I just found your channel and we love it. Thank you so much for the entertainment. Greetings from Caldwell, Idaho in the US.
Awww thank you 😁
I always say I’m solar powered! I need sunshine to make me smile.
Me too it’s makes such a difference doesn’t it 😄🏴☠️
Ay up me duck.
Another jolly pirate adventure.
Ay a good 'un 🙂👍⛴️
😄🏴☠️ cheers
When I saw the title, I wondered whether I'd missed the local canal. I live in Whitchurch in Hampshire 😊Not so chilly down here. Roll on Spring.
Yes bring it on … I’m ready for it now 😂😂
I love the sound of ur engine it is like music. Such few ref's and it does 4 knots, awesome
Thank you very much!
Forget the electric it sounds like Notting!
The snow looks amazing but chilly. It is stinking hot here in Gibraltar.
I’m jealous - swap ya 😂🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I will never go back the UK. But thanks for the offer.
Subscribed. Looking forward to your adventures.
Cheers 🥂.
Thanks Mark 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate You're welcome.
Another great video and fascinating to see what you do to earn a living. I've written a little limerick for you.
There was a young pirate called Heidi
Whose boat was incredibly tidy
She roamed far and wide
With friends by her side
And a large rum to warm her on Friday.
Mavis, Mavis!
Narrowboat Will is on the telly! ;-)
I know, I love him 😄❤️🏴☠️
It looks like such a peaceful way of life. So nice. So LOVLEY
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Random thought #1 -
Technically speaking, the roof area above your Boatman’s Cabin, could also be called your Poop-deck.
If you were so inclined.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
😂😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate 🤣🤣 🤣
Great Video Heidi I Enjoyed It Have A Great Night😊
Thank you! You too!
LOVE IT 👍👍
Random thought #2
I was thinking about the traditional boatman’s cabin.
I was thinking that it’s like the Industrial revolution’s version of a “tiny house”.
Those families had decades or even generations to design and perfect the layout of that space to include everything that they needed.
They had to be super clever and efficient because the rest of the boat was obviously given over to cargo.
It’s very easy to imagine just a single man or woman living in just that cabin space, but 2 adults AND 2 or more children living in there is an entirely different prospect.
It would be really interesting to see an original blueprint as well as observe the evolution over time of that cabin design and layout.
The original tiny house 🙂
🙂🐿🌈❤️
Ahoy! Yes they are amazing the boatman’s cabins … I have one although mine holds all my badges for my little business - loads of useful storage 😄🏴☠️ there are lots of videos showing how boatman’s cabins were used by families back in the day 😄 have a look for the old traditional wooden boats 😁🏴☠️🌈🍻
Cruising with friends in a convoy has a lot of good things going on especially with those lift bridges sharing the chores.
That was a real big badge order from the Chandlry ,its good to see them supporting Canal traders. Your weather is much like ours earlier this week my front lawn was almost snow free and this afternoon we had a couple of inches of snow in 30 mins but it wont last @c above just now goingto -6c overnight .Whitchurch looks a nice town ,love the old buildings and those gorgeous Church windows .J still doing fine Dr cut out the Paracetomol so she's not dozing off so much during the day now.
So my lil darling take care of you and happy safe cruisingcocyou are really very special XXX🧡🧡🧡.
Awww thank you Ralph and I’m so glad things are getting back to normal for you both x x x
Hey Heidi, just wanted to at least do my part by adding a comment. Another fun and lovely video. I only know you through your videos but, you are a very lovely, and fortunate, person who has found true joy in life. Thanks.
Aww thank you 😄❤️🏴☠️
Thanks for that one Heidi very enjoyable as per usual. It actually seems that winter mooring times being longer offers you more freedom which must be important for continuous cruisers like yourself. All the best ❤Stephen
Yes we get 2 weeks in winter but I only usually stay 5-6 days … it all goes back to 2 days in busy spots at the end of the month though 😄🏴☠️
Love to watch ur video. Love bonny. ❤
Oh I can’t wait to get my boat back in the water!
Thanks for sharing Heidi, great vlog…all those innuendos I’ve had to lie down in a darkened room 😂😂
Seriously though, full respect to you and your friends for living the boat life with knobs on !! 🫢
Aww thank you 😄❤️🏴☠️
Brilliant as always
