So glad you enjoyed Liverpool as a Scouser we are very proud of our city The fantastic thing and the reason Liverpool is so popular with cruise ships is so many attractions are within walking distance or a short taxi ride Fantastic interesting video we all love seeing the narrow boats in our city Very wise to use the service of a pilot to cross the River Mersey especially with the conditions you encountered Enjoy your future journeys with Bunny
You are incredible, Heidi and the way you filmed it all and brought it altogether like that for us to feel like we were there with you is exceptional! Bravo- you're an absolute star!🤩🦋🌻
Thanks so much Vanessa, as are you! Enjoy the Rochdale and Huddersfield …. I did them with Jax and it almost killed us both 🤣🤣 both stunning canals, especially the Rochdale near the summit 🏴☠️😃❤️ and Huddersfield around Marsden and Uppermill 😃🏴☠️❤️
Your great content has been tempting me for days, but now I know your names. By now, you’ve probably passed us along the Shropshire Union and are wherever your less promoted content will show Bonny and Heidi’s navigation adventures. Captivating content, brilliantly edited, got you a new subscriber, happy to help!🎉
Follow a lot of narrowboat RUclipsrs who have done this passage but wowsers this video surpassed anything I've seen. Thank you and your day crew for a thoroughly enjoyable video.
@@TheNarrowboatPirate She might have basic mechanical controls, but my goodness it's like driving a 1940's Ford or Ferguson tractor in comparison to today's computerised, cabbed, all mod cons tractors. I'd not give you a thank you for one of them. Give me that little blue Ford with a bouncy seat and rudimentary controls. The sound and the feel was wonderful. Just like your gorgeous boat.
Ah, 1969, the year of your engine, was a very good year! I graduated from high school in 1966, just saying. 🙂 By 1969, I was blithering around in college and smoking too much dope for the likes of anyone. But I had a good time and I'm now a happy, successful, senior citizen in my own (owned) home. And I'm RV-ing (caravaning) and wish I still had a boat, had them for 28 years. You are so good at taking care of your boat, it's most impressive. I love your prop. 🙂 Big'un it is! Gosh, there must be so much history in Liverpool, one could spend weeks there and not learn/see it all. Wow, you were the only boat in that lock. And how cool that people took video of you, friends are so cool! Stuart is a gem. I bet the River Mersey was so empty of boat traffic because everyone hear that a PIRATE boat was coming!! Ha! 🙂 Oh, so nice of you to let the young fellow have the helm. I know you got to sit up in the bow and enjoy that, but I bet he had a great time too, knowing you trusted him. Your videos are spectacular, Heidi. That last ditty made me smile, big smile. And yet, yes, in the end, it's the boat, the Rum Wench. She took you on this journey, cruised you across the Mersey, and brought you to safe harbour. Nothing could be better. Here's to the Rum Wench.
I have to say Heidi, this was brilliant. When you were waiting for the lock to to open, my heart was pounding as you pulled off the wall and when I saw all that water I got so excited for you. Stewart is a wonderful man. I have seen him in a few others vlogs. Just a kind gentleman. And wow Roger 94, he looks amazing. I am so happy and I know you were on cloud 9. Your video put a smile on my face. Thank again Heidi and little Bonnie. 🩷🩷
" So Heidi cross the Mersey cause this lands the place I love and here I'll stay." Gerry and the Pacemakers remix version :) Glad you enjoyed your stay in our fine city
Your quick retorts, your many capers Always make me smile They make me stop and think And sit with you a while You always have a friendly word To everyone you meet To keep on smiling in pouring rain Is no easy feat! I saw you sail across the Mersey Soaked right through to skin Yet determined to conquer it It wasn't going to win! Your pirate antics make me laugh They brighten up my week I really have to love the quips All said with tongue in cheek And when the lights go out And the camera's put to bed The rum is poured in glass And your lovely dog is fed Reflect upon the notion of all the lives you touch And know that only a special soul Has learnt to give so much. Thank you for all that you do. You are appreciated. Keep on keeping on. 👍🙂
"Ferry Cross the Mersey". I now have a greater understanding of the lyrics of the song. This was a great video. Bold trip for a flatbottom narrowboat, but hey, you are a pirate, and that is the stuff pirates do. Way to go, thank you for the enjoyment.
Wow Heidi, that was epic. Your courage knows no bounds, and your seamanship is worthy of any pirate captain. Congratulations Captain Heide, In addition to your exciting adventure, your skills in putting this video together certainly raised the bar to professional documentary standard. Well done, I hope you get "You Tube" recognition fo this one.
Hooray for the Rum Wench & Heidi for taking us on the boat ride of the year. She looked like a Champ on the river, Thank you for the best video of an old narrow boat that’s not ready to retire. God Bless you 🙏☠️🥃
What a remarkable and exciting day. Bravo to the Rum Wench for weathering everything in fine fashion. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Be well and stay safe. 😊
For some reason, YT suggested this video, and I'm SOOOO glad it did! As a result I've gone right back to the beginning and have started working through your 177 video bingewatch playlist. At a difficult time personally, these videos are such a welcome distraction, with such a sense of joy and life. Thank you Heidi, may your adventures continue, and may your mainbrace be eternally spliced! Avast behind 😂
Well done Heidi and the crew that is an epic crossing and the Rum Wench took it in stride and carried you all safely across the highlight of the week for me and many more viewers, Ed 40 S of Vegas
Oh wow ! Heidi that was fantastic, I had goose bumps as you left the lock to go across and the music was terrific, your excitement was so tangible and wee Bonny was brill xx
Totally love this video. The expanse of the river is powerful. The locks are hugh. So glad you had your pilot Stuart. That looked to be a total adrenaline. 🧜
Amazing journey Heidi ! I was holding my breath at one point lol. That's amazing to have such amazing company to share that experience with. As well as Stuart and his knowledge of the area. Love the history of it all x
@@redcruben get a grip on yourself, not even close to being funny. I hope you have a regular job to support yourself.. because comedy is not your forte. Sorry mate!
The river Mersey is a formidable strech of water that can challenge the most experienced seafarer. Its currents are so fast, you can be engine full and be motionless. Well done for making it across 💪
Hey Heidi girl what an adventure I really enjoyed listening to your guests and history❤ well just so you know we had another hurricane, Milton , it came thru last night, but we made it and we are safe I pray for everyone cheers we are having a Captain Glen drink 🍸 too thank you Heidi for your work❤your friend Cindy ❤
You are a real inspiration Heidi. I'm planning to buy my first narrowboat and live aboard in the near future and watching your adventures helps me have faith that I will achieve my dream. Keep doing what you do so well. Thank you for sharing :)
We watched Heidi cross the Mersey on the Rum wench with captain birdeye Ruff waters with grey sky's, were so grateful everyone survived xx....Love your vlog s Stewart was very informative as was you as always best vlogs going.xx
Oh wow, fabulous video. Well done, not just for doing it but for managing to film it too. What an adventure & worth every penny. Once Whinny is ready, I have every intention of doing it !
Well done Heidi, well done The rum Wench and well done that Pilot! I really enjoyed that. That lift bridge wasn't squealing like that when I was there 4 years ago. My heart was fluttering as well when you set off across the mersey. ❤
What can I say, the photography, some patreons helping from the shore? The people, your absolute excitement, I don't know how you had time to think of camera angles as you were cutting through the waves. What a trip, phew. And Oliver must had thought all his dreams had come true. Absolutely loved this trip, thanks and more thanks. Time to relax over Winter and plan ..... what next. Take care as always. =-)
WOW! An absolutely fabulous watch…was quite "moved" especially the great camera angles, the music and the super info along the way. Thank you for sharing…you made my night Heidi ❤
Great video Heidi, even old mother Mersey couldn’t beat our favourite pirate. Your friendly CRT staff and volunteers enjoyed having you in the Salthouse 😇.
Heidi got her Mersey trip done with some of my favourite biscuits. Ginger nut biccies would make me your friend forever if they were served with a hot cup of tea. It's nice to see you enjoying life Heidi. There's a phrase my gran used to use to say 'If you want to do something do it'. Her phrase was 'Let your butterflies fly'.
Well Heidi, this episode really lifted my spirit today after my house sale fell through this morning on week 8 😢. You have such an amazing way of catapulting us into your world that all those worries fade away. So thank you and take care 😘
Heidi, those people that say you should not travel the river in a flat bottom boat, just have not got a clue. Those huge ships that travel the worlds seas have got wait for it...................FLAT bottoms. Bugger. don't let them anywhere near the Mersey.😃
Hi Heidi I think this is my 1st comment even though I've followed your adventures some time but I had to comment so proud of you and the rum bench I felt all the emotions on that crossing I was so tense when those gates opened but all I kept thinking was so on girl ... she's an incredible boat and I'm so happy you did it you sure deserved that rum. And what an amazing crew you had . Well done Heidi xxxxx
What an absolutely brilliant video Heidi, so exhilarating and loved the camera angles how you did all of that and navigated is brilliant. Stuart was such a lovely chap too and great on camera 😁 ❤
The Rum Wench survived the River Mersey (and the ship did well too!)! How does Stuart get back home if you're the last ship?!? Another great video Heidi, wonderful music score as well!
Well done Heidi Darlin a landmark video . I knew you were in good hands when you said your Pilot wasStuart Wood my long lost cousin 99th removed ,he was always a great seaman for a nipper, of course's a lot l younger than me ,but good see he hasn't lost his touch. Love been sailing in my track track of many voyages.I remember early voyage on a tanker when I was Cadet we were discharging Eastham oil dock adjacent to the lock you passed through .I wagon watch with the @nd mate when he passed me a basket and told me to go pick dandelion leaves for his pet budgie ,,,,the things you learn as a Cadet. So glad you took the plunge and did the crossing and became a " Scouse" t for a few days I'm sure you enjoyed the stay and that giant hip flask ,now dont get fat to fit it on your hip I luv ya ust the way you are.Lots of luv to you and Bonny ,well done a great memorable episode. Tra for now XXX
Hi Heidi and Bonnie 👋 🐾 Wow that was some pirate adventure! Pretty hairy on those waves for sure! Great crew you had as well. Hope you have found another great adventure on the shallow waters my hearty ❤Have a blessed week 🙏

Navigating the Mersey is no easy feat. I did my power boat training there and the 5 knot tide is ruthless.
So glad you enjoyed Liverpool as a Scouser we are very proud of our city

Very wise to use the service of a pilot to cross the River Mersey especially with the conditions you encountered

Stuart the pilot, with his Captain Birdseye beard, was a gentleman. What an incredible knowledge of the Mersey crossing and locks he has.
He was an absolute star 😃🏴☠️
He’s a local legend Stuart. Still brings in all the big ships daily.

Stuart is a real Gent, handsome too! Lovely crew. 94 and still cruising and Stuart's Grandson, a new generation of Seafarers in the make.
Stuart was the river pilot. He still brings in the big ships every day. Roger was the 94 year old.
That was EPIC! The videography, the music. Looks like you gave the old girl a good thrashing! Thanks as well to the friends, onboard and off.
Glad you enjoyed it 😃😃
What a beautiful stylish solid boat the Rum Wench is. She took it right in her stride. I love her. ❤
She is amazing 😃🏴☠️❤️

Gerry and the Pacemakers...WOW that's a blast from the past!
Your quick retorts, your many capers
Always make me smile
They make me stop and think
And sit with you a while
You always have a friendly word
To everyone you meet
To keep on smiling in pouring rain
Is no easy feat!
I saw you sail across the Mersey
Soaked right through to skin
Yet determined to conquer it
It wasn't going to win!
Your pirate antics make me laugh
They brighten up my week
I really have to love the quips
All said with tongue in cheek
And when the lights go out
And the camera's put to bed
The rum is poured in glass
And your lovely dog is fed
Reflect upon the notion of all the lives you touch
And know that only a special soul
Has learnt to give so much.
Thank you for all that you do. You are appreciated. Keep on keeping on. 👍🙂
This is a brilliant ditty. I hope Heidi sees it.

You’re one brave woman, I’ve seen the current on the Mersey, it’s not something I would contemplate doing in a narrow boat!
The Rum Wench survived the River Mersey (and the ship did well too!)!
How does Stuart get back home if you're the last ship?!?
Another great video Heidi, wonderful music score as well!
His car was in Ellesmere Port as he got a train to Liverpool, which is a good job as less than 5 canal boats do this crossing each year 🤣🤣
@@TheNarrowboatPirate That's why he seems so happy! What a job - meeting nice people, not having to worry about boat maintenance, enjoying life!!!
