Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Rum Wench and travel the UK's Canals in search of Adventure. After selling my house to experience an alternative lifestyle I bought a canal boat and a camper van which as a solo female who loves to travel, gives me the best of both worlds. I have recently got myself a new addition to the crew, a fabulous companion - my little rescue dog Bonny who is an absolute joy and the perfect First Mate. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.

What a lovely comment, thank you 🏴☠️😄❤️
Oh my gosh, this was absolutely amazing Heidi. So glad to see you 2 having such a wonderful time. When you got that waffle, my mouth started to water. It looked yummy. Loved the wine tasting. You gals be safe and I already wish it was next Thursday. Cheers🍻
What a lovely trip you're having with your friend Heidi. It's so nice to have company when you're doing nice things. The places are very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe ladies.
It is really great to see that you girls are having a good time, and I bet the dogs will be happy too, and that all is going well.
Changing the scenery for a while will recharge your mental and physical batteries for your returns to the UK and Ireland.
I hope that the next stage will show more happy moments and enjoyment. Love, Peter.
Thanks Peter 😄🏴☠️
There was a pub in Greenwich, in south east London, if you went in wearing a tie, the end would be cut off and nail to the walls.
How fabulous just love how you and Sandra are throwing yourselves into the culture. Enjoy every minute xx
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Terrific, 2 lovely ladies, their dogs and amazing courage to go on such a journey 😃 Keep on trucking girls 👍
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Wow what a time you pair are having. I enjoyed you tasting the wine I’m surprised you were able to make it back to your camper. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
i cant help my self, i am soooooo jealous, you bring back memorys, for both of you, have a safe trip
You should get in touch with the happy travelers. They know all about Spain and other countries. They are on a tour right now. A lovely couple.
A wonderful exciting video. Loving your campervan adventures. Stay safe.
Looks like a lovely time. I’m so happy for you both to be on a wonderful trip like this. I love that you are in your camper vans and the dogs look like they’re enjoying the trip too ❤
Love to you both and all the pups.
I'm a USA person, "right" side of the road. Drove in Scotland for a month a few years ago, "left" side of the road, with no problem. I've been watching your videos for so long now Heidi, that seeing you on the "right" side of the road is just wrong!
That whole Barcelona thing was spectacular.
Wow thank you for this video. This must have taken you a TON of time to edit/produce. Thanks to Sandra and to you!
Thank you Ann 🏴☠️😃❤️
I love the free park and drink 🍷. Looks like lots of fun 🤪
Thank you beautiful ladies for the great video. Looks like so much fun

Looks beautiful ! Thanks for taking us all on your adventures ❤️
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Wow...... enjoy what looks like a dry and snow free time......... opps, just seen the rain
I lived in Spain for 14 years in a small town called Sax, inland from Alicante, a very nice place to live and work, I intend to move back there some day perhaps in 2025.
I think I've gained 5 lbs watching this!
Looks like you're having a fantastic time, and Bonny's being so good, aaaaww 🙂
Great your still playing your music still get a feeling of you sailing
Belgian chocolate , beer and waffles.....Have got elasticated trousers!?😅
love the way the others are smelling and talking about the wine, you two just knock it back. Stay safe girls see you next week.
😂😂😂
Great fun for everyone! These travel vlogs have been excellent Heidi, I'm giggling and smiling through it all. Can't wait to see what you guys will be up to next!
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Bar lady looked fed up
If you can Andora on the way back to France. It is beautiful.
Watching you at the wine tasting was so entertaining! Love your adventures.
So happy I found your channel.❤
Yay! Thank you!
Never boring. Fair wind, mi hearties !
Thanks Bob 😄🏴☠️
Fabulous Festive in 🇪🇸 Spain
Enjoy everything ladies stay safe hang your bra's up when you're done you could decorate your boats when you come back with abandoned bra's
😂😂
Just simply enjoy yourselves...........
You were very restrained waiting until after the waffles and chocolate for the beer. When we first got off the boat into Belgium, the bar was our first stop! Although, it was 12 midnight when we landed. 47years ago. You're gonna love Barcelona.
I'll tell you what Heidi you gals cheer me up.
Barcelona is definitely on our bucket list!
They look nices
The bathroom is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Just a quick Hello from across the pond in New Jersey 😊, USA. Looking forward to the next chapter. Be well and stay safe.
Thank you! You too!
Your trip looks like great fun. Thank you Heidi for sharing it with us.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
You girls look like you are having fun!
Thanks for a lovely break from winter near Cleveland, OH USA. It's cold, with light snow and more to come. Ahhh....wish I could be in our camper van in Europe!
It’s the same in the UK at the moment … I couldn’t cruise the boat if I wanted to 😂😂
It’s great to see you having such a great time. Bruges looked wonderful (but the vineyard had more appeal for me personally). Stay safe and have fun. I will look forward to next week’s episode.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️❤️
Enjoy your "jollies" Heidi. ❤
Wow what a great episode. Have fun creating memories. Stay safe.
Barcelona is a great city, lots of tapas restaurants in the Ramblas area, breakfast at the bakery around the corner, and visiting everything designed by Gaudi.
Great to see you having a nice time Heidi, not sure about your friend wanting men’s pants hanging from that bar ceiling 😂… naughty girls….I’m frozen in on the GU outskirts of Milton Keynes so your not missing anything back here… drive safely and good luck!😊
I know 😂 I’ve spent 12 winters on the cut so it’s a nice change and with all the stoppages too it would have been a pain this winter 😄🏴☠️ stay warm 🏴☠️
Ha ha getting sloshed. Love it.
Thank you for sharing your travels. It is a dream watching.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
You Crack me Up 😂
You’d make Tying your Shoe Laces Funny 😂😂. And the Best thing is… You aren’t even trying 😂. Heidi your a Born Entertainer. Thankyou for taking you along on your journey ❤️
Aww thank you 😂🏴☠️❤️
My old home, Barcelona. Miss that place a lot. I left it to go back to the UK and do narrowboat life but it does call my name. Hope you enjoyed it there. It’s a special place. And during Los Reyes as well 👑🍬
You ladies are just lovely. I dig this alternative lifestyle and long to be "off grid"
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️❤️
Belgium Beer Waffles & Chocolate, three great thing to look forward to.😁👍.Don't forget the coffee.
Thanks for another great video Heidi. Looks like you girls are having an amazing time. Love the bar with all the bras hanging from the ceiling. Looks like Bonny is enjoying herself too. Be safe. Can’t wait until next Thursday ❤️🏴☠️
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Great and you are both enjoying your self's can't wait to see your next vlogs all the best 🥃🥃🍷
Thanks so much 😊
😅😂😅 rain in Spain 🇪🇸 never only when heidi the rainmaker is in attendance
😂😂
Hi all good to see that you are safe and well.
Enjoy your holiday girls. You deserve it
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Hi Heidi and wee bonny it looks like the three of you are having a great time on the roads .I am jealous. . Thanks for the great video
My neighbours are travelling in their van just now. They are parked up in Villajoyosa . Looks beautiful. Maybe look it up online
That red wine is lush
Makes me want to get a Motorhome and tour with my wife around Europe.
Lovely to see you having a great time. Shame that you didn't have a paella at one of the terrific restaurants in Barcelona. Can't wait to see next week's video.
It’s was madness with the festival being on but we going to be in Spain for a while so hoping to sample a lot of the food while here …. I want proper tapas 😂🏴☠️❤️
If you want beaches in Spain the resorts are mucho expensive I’d explore inland places like Rhonda, the off to Portugal to the home of port… lots of tasting and very friendly people xxx
Thanks Stu 😄❤️🏴☠️
Smiled my way through the vlog, the wine tasting was hilarious. 😂❤
😂😂
Fantastic girls, thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thank you 🤗
Hey Pirate-Lady, all the places you visitet until now i also know very well. To be honest with you i would recommend this route you traveled also,because its for me the most beautyful one. In Girona is that faboulus "Salvdor Dali" Museum i would recommend to visit. I missed you weting the lips with a little Rum in this video. So as we say in spanish "hasta la proxima"
I was drinking rum at the end 😄🏴☠️
Fabulous!! Stay safe!! Enjoy! Loving your vlogs! 🚢 🚌 🍻🍷🍷🍷
Fantastic fun for two pirates ladies! Loving this trip👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️
Thank you 😄😄
Totally jealous!
8:07 you look like you’re really taking in what the french guy is saying 🤭 🍷 bottoms up! Don’t be rude..
Loved this video. Enjoy your travels.
I think it's brilliant that you two are adventuring this new year. What fun! I'm envious of the freedom and European access you have, as we're stuck here in boring old Ohio, USA. Ugh!
Looks amazing girls enjoy x
Brilliant production Heidi. Not easy to do week after week. Keep on trucking’!
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
A really enjoyable video, thank you for sharing your beautiful adventures. 😊
And two not so old adventures plus three.. ..as a traveler with dogs (corgis) how is everyone squeezing into Sandra's campervan me wonders
The croissants.....bought one this week - looked yummy - heated? Y came squashed flatter than a piece of paper🤔
And thanks for an answer to a Q - in Tassie one vineyard had camping - just roll into bed?😂.
Thanks for taking us on your adventures - enjoying❤❤ Safe travels to all - everyone have fun❤❤ Jan Adelaide
Yay!!! You're back. Great to see you are enjoying yourselves. Have a fab time and stay safe.
Thank you Heidi. Makes me wish I was young again. Best wishes. ilona
I love Barcelona............. La Rambla....... and if you have no particular route returning, then think about going through Andorra............. wonderful little country xx
Loving the vlogs. The Three Kings weekend in Spain is something too see. Nerja on the Costa is beautiful and quirky.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
I absolutely love watching you, instead of educating children, you are teaching all of us a thing or two………. Love it ❤ stay safe you x
Aww thank you 🏴☠️😄❤️
Looks like your having a great time nice shops and pub, the wine tasting looked special keep enjoying and stay safe
You have probably been past the place by now but when we travelled down to Spain in our vans we stopped off at Sitges, wonderful old town and you could park on the front, well worth a visit
Loved the video girls but more importantly it’s so nice to see you both enjoying your life’s and totally unwinding ❤❤ Stay safe and keep the adventure going. Lots of love Trevor & Linda xxx
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Valencia for the silk museum and lots more. If you fancy a longer walk, go to the science park and see if you recognise where they filmed the Dr Who episode, "Smile". Then there is Penedès which is the Cava region, or go north and try Pintxos (Pinchos), or South to Granada... so much to do.
so glad you are enjoying yourself I enjoying the trip too stay safe see you next week
You two in the winery! Very funny. Cheers! Really interesting to see how it is travelling with the vans. Thank you.
Hope this particular day is a lovely one, Heidi ❤
My wife and I spent some time in Malaga, the beaches were beautiful!
