Taking on Canal locks SOLO | Music Making | BOAT LIFE [Ep 123]

  • Опубликовано: 13 сен 2023
  • Today I start my cruise aboard The Rum Wench up the Atherstone Lock flight, single handing the Canal Locks and moor in the town so I can go exploring. I find out about the amazing Ball Game that happens on Shrove Tuesday every year and would love to return during that time. I also start to compose a new tune and show a little about the process of composing music on a narrowboat.
    -----------
    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. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Pirate Boat.

    Heidi and Bonnie are cruising the cut
    One is a pirate, the others a mutt.
    Two little lovelies exploring the land
    Each special adventure where nothing is planned
    Watching each Thursday is truly the best
    Just one thing is missing ME as a guest
    Loving the vlogs Heidi lass keep up the great work
    Hugs and kisses from Angie B 😘 xxx

    Bonny and Heid, a tale so grand,
    Upon their boat, they take their stand,
    A pirate's life, with rum in hand.
    Through twist and turn, the canal does steer,
    A pirate laughter, the air does smear,
    As they chase adventure, without any fear.
    But don't be rude, for they know their code,
    Living upon their floating abode,
    Their honour exists on this watery road.
    Bonny and Heid, a legendary pair,
    Navigating waters, their lives they share,
    In tales and legends, they'll always be there. ❤
    From Nadia & Mark 🫡 xx

    With all the crap going on over here across the pond, it's really nice see there is still sanity and serenity out there. I try to avoid and block out all the crap when I can but, you're just not always able to get away from it. Your videos are a nice break for me, even if it's just for a few minutes.
    Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you really do help out some, probably many, of us more than you realize. Thanks for that. Take care.

    Aaaaaah, when you shut your engine off ... on my boats, when I was safely moored up to a dock at the end of the day, or tied to a buoy on the water, or safely anchored out ... when I knew the boat was good for the night and I could then shut the engine off ... that was so sweet, such a sweet sound of the engine burbling down to "off" ... the quiet was so peaceful ... life was so good. Thank you for sharing that on your boat, so sweet. 🙂 Love the ditties.

    @davidwelch6796 10 месяцев назад +2

    Thank you for showing us a bit about how you record your music, I found it very interesting. One idea that may or may not appeal to you; if you could record some of the plethora of sounds that surround you each day (e.g. the steady beat of your diesel engine, the sound of your new ratchet winding, the creak of the lock paddles raising, the rush of water through sluice gates, the dawn chorus and perhaps even Bonnie's breathing and so on) then perhaps you could use your virtual mixing desk to convert them into percussion or backing tracks (altering the playback speed to suit your music) and using the various controls to alter the sounds to something more musical and less 'real'.
    Thank you for all your work in shooting and editing your videos, they provide enjoyment for many people, including me.

    • @TheNarrowboatPirate
      @TheNarrowboatPirate  10 месяцев назад

      I have tried and it sounded awful…. I did mention it in one of my earlier vlogs …. Most of my tracks do have the tempo of the engine though as the engine is often running charging the batteries when I’m making the music … I will try to do a live thing one day though 😂😂

    Hi Heidi, thank you so much for sharing how you make music. We really enjoy your videos. The music you have created is wonderful.
    A little ditty
    Heidi the queen of the double entendre
    Bonnie the first mate of whom we are fondre
    With Rosie and Jim always getting it on
    Heidi 'just wets the lips' until it's all gone
    "Don't be rude" we hear her say
    As her music plays along the way
    Heidi's back cabin is where it's at
    As she's sipping her rum in her pirate hat.
    Keep up the good work! Two ex narrow boaters. Jean Macdonald & Phil Lingard xx

    So Heidi her friends on the cut she can meet.
    'Tis fun time, 'tis rum time, when Heidi sails up,

    Aren't people great, happy to offer help though the locks. I stayed in an old lock-keepers cottage, now a B&B, some 10 years ago, I was cameraman at a chum's wedding. On the Burton on Trent canal, and having watched the narrowboats rise up over the hedge during breakfast and with loads of time in hand I walked the few foot to the lock and assisted some 4 or 5 boats through. My 3rd gt grandfather (in the late 18th century) was a narrowboat owner on the Grand Union out of Long Eaton & Sawley but I know little about the actual physical workings of locks but its all common sense and you watch and learn. The "last" boat through the feller asked if I'd like a ride up to the next lock so as it was some way and they stopped to offload some rubbish half way I got off there and had some exercise walking back to base to meet up with my mate. But that was after the lassie asked if I'd like a cuppa and within minutes a mug of tea appeared with a plate of biscuits, bless them, so kind. Small world, only turned out their son lived just a few miles down the road from mine back home (some 180 miles south). Love your posts Heidi, keep safe you two, smuggler Frank. 🙂

    So cool that you stopped off in my spiritual town of Atherstone and got your hair cut in my wife’s barber … can’t believe, you were ‘going up, and I was going down’ between the Ashby and Coventry Canals. When I moored at Sutton Cheney, we had a lot going off all at once. One things for sure, Heidi, you have the best boating channel on RUclips, I am sure there is drama for you, but you never show it here and in doing so, you keep the magic/the positive side of boating alive and well. Brilliant also that you are promoting ‘band camp’ and I may at some point have a narrowboat ditty for you to read in ‘the rear entrance’. Buy Bonny something nice. We love you ❤

    She writes music for me and you
    With Bonny at her Side
    Her crew for the ride
    She writes music for me and you
    Her ship is very long
    She writes music for a song
    Bonny sits at her side so still
    And she never ever sits on her knee
    What never?
    No Never!
    What Never?
    Hardly Ever
    Bonny hardly ever sits on her knee.
    Then give three cheers and three cheers more
    For the Captain of the Narrowboat Pirate Ship

    Like a lot of people, I found the music part really interesting. Making music is a closed book to me. I couldn't even get my head around the recorder, As a kid, I even cocked the triangle up. 🤣🤣

    Hi Heidi and bonnie, lovely to meet you today, so excited when I knew you had come past our boat yesterday 🎉 it was really useful to see how your windlass worked, given me food for thought. Will be doing all the locks tomorrow as I have to go back to work on Tuesday. Keep vloging as you are brilliant at it. Hope to meet up again take care Alison, ella the noisey cockerpoo and Mike on nb Sarah Kay ❤❤❤❤❤

    Fish and chips,,,,Heidi I would sell my kids, wife and my soul for fish and chips! I live in Japan - been out here 22 years and Japanese food is incredible. However, it is so bleeding healthy and sometimes I miss that gut busting stodge of UK food!!! Thank you so much.....We enjoy your videos - my wife speaks English, but often doesn't quite understand your Oo - er Mrs references,,,,but laughs when I explain! Thank you young lady.....Nice hair cut by the way.

    Bless Bonnie, she is getting there, all those dogs of all shapes and sizes and not a bark out of her. Nearly chocked on my coffee when you said she was a bugger later in the day. Take the wins Heidi I'm sure they will come more often. Lovely cruise and what a lovely wee town. How, or are you even preparing for winter, any special boat jobs to be done?

    Dear Heidi and Bonnie, one of my two favourite N.B. You Tubers, the other being Narrowboat Will, well that's three really, including Bonnie. I see you are booked to join the Huddlesford Heritage Gathering, this weekend. I will also be there, with my N.B. "The Music Weaver". I hope to see you there. I don't have any rum but I am willing to share my bottle of Glen Moray... Cheers. John Colquhoun. x.

    Looking forward to watching your musical process. Your stuff is good. Would love to hear an orchestra play it. Be careful, your black hat has a hole in in it. We don't want you losin' your wits! As usual very nice TV and sail safe.

    That new piece was beautiful Heidi😍
    And I love watching lock vids as I learn from all.of them...I took my boat out as a brand new solo cc-er day before yesterday, tackled a flight of 7 double locks - first 4 were a sh**show! Discovered issue with solar when I'd finished and had to come back to marina so did the 7 all over again the following morning - luckily with a lovely experienced neighbour boater who crewed back with me, the legend! Baptism of fire but I learned sooo much! Locks dont phase me quite so much now but jeez, was I knackered when I landed! The joys of boating as you say! T😂

    Heidi, I have been itching to see you putting your music through the recorder. Very interesting, I have two keyboards and have done, in the past a lot of recording. I didn't like to ask to see your instrument, as I already made you play the cornet!!! Lovely!! Be good now!! John xx
