Nearly right. The prop washes up all sorts of food items. The fish have learned this and rather than being scared, they will feed in the wake of boats.
Cheers Heidi and Bonny from NZ. Love all of your videos. There has to be a shanty/ditty in this one. To the tune of "South Australia" I love the Pogue's version. Verse 1. "The North of England I come from. Heave away, haul away. But now the Rum Wench is my home. Bound for where she takes me. Chorus. Heave away my Pirate Queen. Heave away, haul away. Heave away now hear me sing. Bound for where she takes me. Verse 2. Wee first mate Bonny's lying low. Heave away, haul away. A cheeky cormorant in tow. Bound for where she takes me. Chorus.
We used to put a spare mooring pin through the hole and then use that for extra traction. But when we (the public at large) have a chance meeting with you (a very special person) it makes us even happier.
You sure have the mechanics down of maneuvering a boat away from a shallow moorage. So many people want to DRIVE forward, like they drive a car, whereas a boat should be maneuvered usually in reverse since that's where the prop is. How cool about that cormorant! She obviously loves you. 🙂 She is now back behind you, in the water, bobbing along beside the towpath somewhere, bereft, and crying for your company and love. Sigh. Beautiful videos of cruising, beautiful music. I keep saying that but it keeps being true. Best to you and your mum and dad and Bonny too.
It's been interesting to follow your channel. During the early 1980's I was a volunteer at the Huddersfield Canal Society and was involved in raising money to reinstate the Saithwaite section and tidy up the Marsden to Leeds road section. I remember the folks involved in the Stannage tunnel cottages who moved it from a derelict building to a functional visitors centre while survey work was being completed on the tunnel itself. In 1988 I completed the counties ring which was great back then. In the very early 1990's my very lovely friend had a narrowboat moored in Skipton I used to use heaps on my way to the lake district :) Since then I moved to New Zealand and have not been back to the UK in over 20 years. It's amazing to see that so many use and live on the canal system today.
Thanks Lovely Heidi and Little Bonny, for taking us along on this sunny cruise with your new friend Mr Cormorant. It was great to see your Mum and Dad and all of the generous fans and I hope that you sold loads of your brilliant Pirate Bounty. Have a lovely weekend. Take care and all the best. Stevie
I love fridays when we get another video from you, you are such a nice person Heidi love to Bonnie. Please dont cut your hair it looks fabulous it makes you look younger even though you are younger. Thanks again Heidi.
Loved your sunny days for trading... and the duck following was fun to watch! You represent & document this charming lifestyle so well...☠️🎉 Rrrrrrrrr! Great Ditty to Scott!
🙂lovely to see you with your mum and dad enjoying the sunshine and a glass of vino on the towpath. So nice to that they’re nearby for you both. (Meant to say this last week sorry 🙂) Have a lovely weekend, hugs to Bonny. 🙂🐿🌈❤️
What a lovely day and the place where you moored is gorgeous 😍 so wish I could but I love watching and I pretend I'm there❤ well love sweet dreams, and safe travels your friend from Orlando 🏝 ❤
Hey Heidi & Bonnie. Thanks for your channel, your humour, stories and music. The Good Lady Wife and I enjoy watching from Mornington in Australia, always get a laugh and love the various locations you travel through. Here's a little ditty for you: Bonnie and Heidi They lived fairly tidy On the Rum Wench narrow boat. And cruising the cut Life was far from a rut .... The rum helped to keep them afloat
Another video of canal and boat life loveliness 🥰, bubbly Heidi , bonny, boats, booze, birds, banter,bonkersness and burbling engines of beautiful boats......totally brilliant. Thank you Heidi you make Thursday's the brightest day of the week.😃.........and .....what WAS Rosie doing to Jim!! 🤣🤣. Take great care and stay safe and well.😊
Another lovely visit for me great to see Heidi and Bonny again lovely to see all them friendly people enjoying the sun with you. best wishes to all take care
Good day Heidi and Bonny, Heidi, one quick request. Would you continue to show, on your vlogs, the map of where you expect to go. The little ship on the map, that represents the Rum Wench, is adorable. It really helps, those of who do not know Britain where you are. Wishing you many days ahead of sunshine and blue skies. Mark Alberta, Canada
There we go… the start of my weekend and Heidi is discussing fisting at 18:00 on a Thursday! Love it! Great episode! Love the new music & graphics!! “Not in front of everyone…” It is just TOO FUNNY!!! Have a fab weekend!!!
My guess is that the Rum Wench was stirring up some food for your feathery friend. Maybe scaring some fish out of their hidey holes as you passed by that your friend took advantage of. Thanks for another one. Hope all is well. Take care.
Nice to see that you are having some nice weather. Really interesting that the cormorant decided to follow you. Maybe it wanted to join the crew. Thanks for sharing. Be well and stay safe. 😊
I’m so late watching. Grandma duty with my precious grandson Lucas. Wonderful sunny days for you and Bonny. You are easy to love Heidi and your adventures bring me happiness. Thank you and cheers.
Beautiful areas you went through Heidi and another market, thanks for that, love seeing the canal markets. We’re off to the pub for tea, hell it’s cold so I’ll be rugged up. Cuddles for beautiful Bonny, take care and see you next week. 🥰
Great video again Heidi. So glad we are back in the rear entrance. Love the poems. Bonny was such a good girl with that bird that was following you. Not even a bark👏🏻👏🏻❤️🏴☠️
Your videos are excellent I’m always sitting on the edge of my seat watching I was on the locks in New York State Oneida lake one time we had a 40 foot cabin cruiser love that life lots of fun you’re a great person❤❤❤
So there I was.... Sat in my local bar.... in South Corfu Greece and there was a bottle of "dead mans fingers" rum. Of course I had to try a couple of glasses of it... Cheers Heidi from Agios Georgios... ❤
Heidi I think you should buy a kid pool noodle. Cut it to fit your opening that you get bruised on. You could remove it when you are not on the move. It would be a cheap fix.
You've been having a great week by the looks of it. The courmorant had a great day fishing and Bonny got something fun to watch on the trip. All in all a perfect day.
Great vlog again, what are you like? First i was afraid, i was petrified you were gonna split y’r difference, then you were up Dawn’s crack, down the beer boat for wine, up at Kraken’s and all while trading pirate goods! Bonnie on the booze off camera and having to cope with toys twice her size! Lols, it was a gooden, cheers!❤️🐕💪
Lovely to see you both enjoying the sunshine for a change. Nice video and good to see the Oakwood Marina doing what they do, so well. You'll be popping in there again I suspect. Have a good week!! John x

Haaaaaaaaaa the cormorant and sound effects made me laugh all the best and thankyou 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Perhaps the cormorant has learned that the prop was disturbing the canal bottom and scaring up some fish for his dinner
That was my guess too!
My thoughts exactly.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Yep
Nearly right. The prop washes up all sorts of food items. The fish have learned this and rather than being scared, they will feed in the wake of boats.
Bonnie is so happy with her new life with you, she's a total boat dog now, well done.
Thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
You never fail to put a smile on my face it's so chilled thank you 👍🙏
A narrowboat bar!!! It don't get any cooler than that!! 🤩
I know 😂😂
Little Bonnie is such a good doggie 😊 We wondered how you'd make out being moored next to a bar boat 😂
😂😂 got to support a fellow trader haven’t I 😂 I couldn’t film too much though as they had music playing and RUclips is a pain with copyright 🎶
I believe that bird was diving after fish your boat's draft was pushing to the sides of the canal. Smart bird.
Hi Heidi, best day of the week for me. Always look forward to seeing your new video.
Aww thanks and I always look forwards to your comment each week xxx
Bonny has come a long way. You’re a good doggie momma.
Thank you, she can still be a bugger with other dogs at times though 😂
Nicely put,thanks for sharing,,perfect place..😊
Cheers Heidi!! looks like you had a great weekend!
Cheers Heidi and Bonny from NZ. Love all of your videos. There has to be a shanty/ditty in this one. To the tune of "South Australia" I love the Pogue's version.

Verse 2.

A cheeky cormorant in tow.
Bound for where she takes me.
Chorus.

😂😂 we got torrential rain on its way today - yellow weather warning 😂😂
I use exactly the same technique to leave a mooring Heidi ! Lovely to see Bonnie looking so chilled with her new life !
Seeing your following cormorant, reminds me of 6 dolphins showing off near paddle steamer Waverley near Arran this afternoon.😅
Oh wow, wonderful 😃❤️🏴☠️
the cormorant, you must be stirring up something he likes and can I say i like your music
Thank you 😃🏴☠️

Hey Heidi & Bonnie. Thanks for your channel, your humour, stories and music. The Good Lady Wife and I enjoy watching from Mornington in Australia, always get a laugh and love the various locations you travel through. Here's a little ditty for you:
Bonnie and Heidi
They lived fairly tidy
On the Rum Wench narrow boat.
And cruising the cut
Life was far from a rut ....
The rum helped to keep them afloat
Good to see you and Bonnie back. Great job. Thanks again. Joe and Gigi.
The fact you named your song lady garden makes me giggle its so you 😂
😂😂
😂
The cormorant was still following you after the RUclips ad break! ;-)
😂😂
Another video of canal and boat life loveliness 🥰, bubbly Heidi , bonny, boats, booze, birds, banter,bonkersness and burbling engines of beautiful boats......totally brilliant. Thank you Heidi you make Thursday's the brightest day of the week.😃.........and .....what WAS Rosie doing to Jim!! 🤣🤣. Take great care and stay safe and well.😊

Brilliant once again I love your vlog, and we will definitely call in to Oakwood marina the next time we pass thanks for sharingv

Wonder if you prop was scaring fish to sides n comorant took advantage? Brilliant observation 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ooh it could have been … he followed me for miles 😂😂
That cormorant was great 😂. Love the ditty’s back. Mark is better at them than me 😊I’ll get him on to it ❤❤❤
😂😂
Happy days....... the ditties are back!
I’m glad you enjoy them 😃🏴☠️
Could you get some pipe lagging that you can put over the hatch to stop you banging your arm? Love the videos every week ❤
I’ll just live with all my constant bruises 🏴☠️😂
Thanks for another excellent video. Just one thing, where has the weather gone????
I know 😩😩 those couple of days was our summer I think 😂😂
Sure looks like a good time with some good folks! And I loved that pirate bottle holder.
What a brilliant setup
There we go… the start of my weekend and Heidi is discussing fisting at 18:00 on a Thursday!
Love it!
Great episode! Love the new music & graphics!!
“Not in front of everyone…” It is just TOO FUNNY!!!
Have a fab weekend!!!
Thank you 🤣🤣
Our Lucy ( border collie) is always glued to your posts when we watch them. Gets very excited to see Bonnie. Take care
Aww that’s lovely 🏴☠️😃❤️

Bonnie looked to have a great time too.
Smiles all round then ⛵🌞🏴☠
That weather only lasted 3 days 😂😂😂
A cold glass of wine on a summer day is so refreshing!!
It was lovely 😃
My guess is that the Rum Wench was stirring up some food for your feathery friend. Maybe scaring some fish out of their hidey holes as you passed by that your friend took advantage of. Thanks for another one. Hope all is well. Take care.
Great video today, thank you for all your lovely adventures!!!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Great video again we could do with a boat with a bar when we're magnet fishing lol 😂take care x
