A Windy Back Cabin | Storm onboard a Narrowboat [Ep 103]

- Опубликовано: 3 май 2023
- I continue my adventure heading up the Audlem flight onwards to Adderley on the Shropshire Union Canal. I organise all my stock ready to trade my Pirate wares during the season and meet some lovely people on the way. The weather turns and we get battered by strong winds and I show what it is like being on a narrowboat in a storm.

If your into the canal scene keep an eye out for the pirate queen , Heidi's her name and she’s a good laugh she could be in the pub or on the towpath , she likes her ditties but then dont we all , doesn’t matter if they are big or small , there must be a rhyme to go with ditti but I cant think of one , what a pity 😏 .
Safe cruising Heidi .
😂😂 brilliant
I’m having a tough time of late Heidi and your excitement of the night time storm made me smile. I live on a 120 yr old Dutch Barge on the river Hamble. At times during spring tides, we’ve had waves hitting the boat and crashing over the roof. We’re perfectly safe but I understand the nervous excitement, especially at night. We’re all like little kids really aren’t we! XX Thanks for making me smile. XX
Aww thanks for the lovely comment and yes we really are all big kids 😂😂
Your blogs are never long enough, Heidi. Not a criticism at all. I just could watch and listen for hours. ❤️🇨🇦
Aww thanks Bernice 😃🏴☠️
Agree with that I could watch for hours too.
Me too indeed 😊
This is like visiting without having to leave home😂🎉
😂😂
Another great blog, Thanks.
Heidi narrates her travels with smiles
Through locks, tunnels and canals for miles
A little taste of rum, just to wet the lips,
Then it’s in by the fire for bigger sips
😂😂 cheers!
Most of the time, when we did it, it was mainly, "What is round the next corner?" and it all looks different when going back. Nothing worse than too much wind in your back end. We always said, the reward comes after the works done. That way we all kept safe on and around the water. Been there, done that. Seeing as its so quiet, you might as well get your saw ou and disturb the peace. Nice shot of the dandelions, early bees rely on newly flowered weeds to get a nectar boost in the near spring.
Rum, rum, wonderful rum.
There's nothing quite like it to warm up my tum.
So when it's raining and hailing.
I ain't complaining.
So long as I'm tanked up with boatloads of rum.
😂😂 fabulous
Another great vlog. Mum has a Sea Searcher magnet that has enough 'grab' to haul in the RMS Titanic! The biggest problem with it is using it near to pilings or steel hulled boats! However, another useful tool is a proper Maglite that is waterproof (we got Mum a 6 battery version. She asked for the large Maglite, but didn't know they were THAT large!). My brothers' phone fell in the Kennet, but we found it using the torch. Fortunately Jays' phone was really waterproof.
Thank you, Heidi, I so look forward to watching your Vlogs each week you cheer me up no end. You gotta have a laugh, haven't you? All the best
Aww thanks Stephen 😄🏴☠️
Pirate boats are made for the high seas of Shropshire. 'Never seen waves like um' 👍
😂😂
Hi Heidi darlin, so you had a "Hoolie " we did too. Last weekend was glorious quite warm and lovely sunshine and real spring weather then on Nonday we had torrential rain and very strong winds ah right "Hoolie" since then we've had rain showers and drizzle ever since with very chilly temperatures as well. J and I've been doing medical sort of thing all week saw 2 doctors and today we got our Spring Covid shot that's number 7 for us.
.That was a nice boat ,I liked the colours and that big deck was made for a party. You and Nikki are a real team on the locks I'm sure it makes it easier on you both. Good to see you getting ready for the trading season that's always .
So special lady take care ,happy cruising and good weather.
Cheers lots of love XXX ❤❤❤
Awww thanks Ralph … weather gone terrible here now too, so much rain 😂😂 I hope you and J are ok and she is recovering quickly x x x
This episode reminds me of a narrow boat trip I took with my 80+ year old mom on the Avon canal this January. We had quite a storm and a tree fell across the canal in front of us. After a lot of effort clearing, we managed to squeeze by on the 3rd try.
Stay safe!
Cheers from Alaska
Oh jeeze, yeah trees often fall in the canal over winter time, I’m glad it was sorted promptly for you 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirateIn January there was almost no traffic on the canal so I cleared the branches and drove over the trunk "full steam ahead". 😮
I'll tell you the full story if we ever meet up. You should bring the Rum Wench to Alaska! I'd buy you a round!
Cheers
"I don't get scared in the storm oo" cracked me up. Fabulous
😂😂😂
"Shiver Me Timbers!" Was lovely seeing on the Audlum flight, looking forward to seeing you again hopefully when you're trading. The Rum loving skipper & crew of Blue Belle. 😃☠
😄🏴☠️
Heidi, the only destination you really need is, second star to the right, and straight on till morning. May our Goddess protect you and keep you safe on all your adventures. Peter.Bristol..
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
I love listening to rain. I can sleep so good in a storm. I've slept through a few hurricanes!
Yeah it’s very cosy 😃🏴☠️
The sound of the water lapping (but now I want a wee) I love but in big winds it’s “did I tie that down” or “I should have brought that inside” but yeah I love storms too. So envy you. Take care, I hope you and Nicki have a great time. 💕
Thanks Pauline 😃🏴☠️
We’re of to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of canal boating… because, because, because the wonderful things that Heidi does… sorry my brain went their when you said were off…😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Your fabulous vlog is awesome! You make me want to belong to the canal people living the pirates life. I live as a cowgirl with horses desert ranches and apache' braves to keep us company! The storms come now and again but sadly no Rum to keep us afloat. Instead we drink lots of water, milk and plenty of choc chip cookies. Hay for the horses and cake for the goat. One day I'll buy myself a Narrow boat and come to visit. If you see the Buckin Bronco coming your way it's me coming to visit. Have fun! 💘 you guys lots of 💘 from Arizona! Me heartie$!
Oh what that sounds an amazing life too except for the rum of course 😂😂
Wonderful. Still missing him and seeing him live.
Nice spooky episode. Took me back to The Exorcist at the cinema and the part where the girl climbed the ladder to open the ceiling hatch. The packed cinema was dead silent with suspense. The next shot was from inside the attic as the hatch was opened but some wag at the back who knew this was going to happen let out a shout and the whole cinema erupted in screams followed by laughter. Watching Jaws I nearly fell off the sofa when the head appeared at the porthole. I screamed and scared the living daylights out of the dog!! Wooohooo!!
😂😂 I jumped at the jaws bit too and so every time I watch it 😂😂😂
Thank you Heidi, for another adventure on your windy boat, i mean the storm 😊
Thanks Stephen 😄🏴☠️
That bloody windlass! Boat and merch look ace. Have a great week and thanks for another video! 🍻
Cheers 😄🏴☠️
Reminds me of the storm we just had but I wasn't in a boat. Keep warm and smiling.
So look forward to Thurdays! Thanks for sharing your journey😁
Thanks for watching 😃🏴☠️
Brilliant video, loved it.
Thanks for sharing your very windy rear cabin.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
Thanks for watching 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate you’re very welcome 😊
Easy peasy lemon squeezy
"I'm not scared". CLUNK "OOOhh". It's always silly grin time here watching your videos.
😂😂 thanks Andy 🏴☠️
I went on the land train today in Newquay Cornwall, with 20 drunk OAP's ,the rain came down and it was a bit like your water lapping up the side of the boat, but we don't care do we ? full of rum fun and a rotten headache's .Oooo Errrrr 🍻🍹🍸🍷😂 🇬🇧
😂😂 haha brilliant
Ahhh…… I got my endorphin fix…….all now is right in the world …thank you
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Thanks Heidi.. Stay Safe, see ya in the next one 👍🏼🇬🇧🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼…
Thanks Nigel 😃🏴☠️
Magnet fishing mentioned AND in context....not once, but twice!!!
✅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
The locks must be a lot of work and time consuming, but the scenery along the canals is so beautiful, so wonderful. Thanks for the reminder of the horses that used to pull the canal boats. Ha! yes, as much as being warm and tidy is wonderful on a boat, yet hearing that wind can be scary. I sat out a thunder and lightening storm on my power boat with two friends aboard years ago. We were safely moored among lots of sailboats with tall masts, so it was safe, but still is was scary ... and yet, and yet, we watched the lightening travel all around us in the sky, it was amazing! The sound of the world is wonderful. 🙂 And the calm of the next morning is even more wonderful.
I love watching a storm 😄🏴☠️
GOOD SEE YOU CRANKING IT ON CUT THANKS LEE
Thanks Lee 😃🏴☠️
Love the way you have your "naughty" dolls placed.........lol
They have a mind of their own 😂😂
Very enjoyable Heidi. Blowing hard like that, especially at night, would mean a sleepless night for me. Might as well have a cuppa, curl up with a good read.
Thanks Mike 😃🏴☠️
Snug as a bug in a rug...🥂 cheers
Cheers Jeff 😃🏴☠️
I have my Irish whiskey in hand it's a cold noreaster today but I am WARM ❗
The Martineers will get Nikki's lock key back.... will have to give you more lessons on how to use a friggin magnet! 🙄🤣😂
😂😂
Its the first time I've listened with headphones on and it makes your engine sound so gorgeous !
Aww thanks, I can’t wait to turn it off at the end of a cruise though 😂😂😂
Not taking owt away from Robbie,we love him,but you don't need the BBC Heidi,you do such a pro job all on you're own, you have a great personality and you're narration is excellent 👌👍 keep em coming dear friend.✖️❤️✖️🌞⚓
Aww thanks so much, I love Robbie too 😃🏴☠️
Wow! Another great video. An original (I think!) limerick for you: A pirate named Heidi who cruised, Of innuendo she was accused, But her jokes are so funny, Her outlook is sunny, And no rum has she ever refused! Thank you for your humour and optimism, oh and the DJ ing 😃🎶👯
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
I love when you show us things like the honesty box❤️ Thank you for sharing with us.
“I prefer you unconscious “ 😮 oh I’ll be keeping an eye on her
😂😂😂
dropping the windlass mm-a riggers trick tie one end of the rope around the crank. t`other end round to your belt if your wearing one or your wrist- that outa stoppit from swimming. thanks for the as- always an enjoyable blog.cheers Bas.
I love the clothesline setup on the back of that boat 😊. I need one in my backyard 😊.
Yeah it was fab 😃🏴☠️
Storm was hairy, 'long as it stood,
hair black n oily, n'er look'd so good
😊
😂 fab 🏴☠️
Nothing like a windy night. Lay off the beans..😂
😂😂
Your Paint job is looking really nice. Also, thanks for sharing the storm. While we are having our share of storms in California, they are no where near the good stuff you get in GB. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching 😃🏴☠️
Another great video. Id be scared in that storm and have all the lights on, probably half bottle rum, then id fall asleep or just fall over. 😂🤣🤣❤
😂😂😂
I know a Canal Pirate named Heidi
Who keeps her narrowboat tidy
She is one for the rum
But is never, ever glum
And tells us all on a Friday.
Fabulous 😄🏴☠️
Recently discovered your channel and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would! Lovely countryside the water the villages you pop into. And your dirty personality hilarious 😂
Aww thanks Karen 😃🏴☠️
Really interesting to be with you in a storm
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
talking of massive one when you moor up got me thinking LOL
😂😂
Ahoy Heidi from much frogging on sea 🐸🐸🐸
🐸🦮
I do so enjoy watching you videos. Thank you. Going to a Contra Dance tonight to dance instead of making the music. Snow is going fast. Summer birds are arriving! So ready. Enjoy.
Aww enjoy your dance I hope you are all well now after your accident 😃🏴☠️
Thanks Lovely Heidi, for taking us along on this great cruise. It's really good that the boating community help each other out. It's brill' that you've got berths at either end of the boat to avoid the sound of the bow or stern slap during windy nights. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thanks Stevie 😃🏴☠️
Coffee lol😂 lol😂! You crack me up
Thank you for sharing your sleepless night! It's good to see some of the realism of boating. Glad to see your boat creaks and wails too!
😂😂
Thank you for another cool video. The countryside, old buildings and bridges are so nice to see.
I also liked the”honesty box” which would work well in my rural area of Tennessee however I wouldn’t advise it in the big cities.
Yes it’s absolutely gorgeous 😃🏴☠️
Thank you, Heidi!!!!
..... just what I needed to decompress!!!!!
Cheers Mate !
Aww thanks Thomas 😃🏴☠️
Thank you Heidi.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Flow job has grown on me, now I hit the volume and for your badges hows this :
20 men on a dead mans chest,
Yohoho an a bottle of rum,
Dirty great footprints all up his vest,
Yoho etc
😃🏴☠️
I don't mind storms if they aren't too fierce. Not a high wind fan but listening to rain when tucked up and cosy is quite calming. Lol 5.15am here and I think it must be a full moon as been awake since 3 - sigh. Take care and hope you can start trading in higher foot traffic areas soon. =-)
Aww I hope you catch up on some sleep soon 😃🏴☠️
Thanks for another lovely video Heidi, you have brightened
up a miserable Thursday evening. Bless you ! ❤❤
Aww thanks Robert 😄🏴☠️
I love a storm course mind you we have a tropical storm headed our way but I love the the cozy feeling too. I really enjoy watching your adventures your friend Cindy from Orlando Florida ❤
Thank you Cindy 😃🏴☠️❤️
Great team work, helping each other up those locks 😊 love a stromy night onboard, all tucked up safe inside listening to the wind and rain 😀 thank you for my Thursday fix of pirate shenanigans 😂 stay safe ❤🌈
Thank you 😃🌈🏴☠️
Windy back cabin ❤ NIce one Heidei
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Great vlog! We love a good storm! We were at Brewood at the time and had waves on the water, great fun and all nice and cozy! 😃 Miss ya! xx 😘
Aww thanks for watching 😃🏴☠️
Nicky, when closing the gate, as you leave the lock, put boat into reverse, by the time she’s stopped, steadied and started to come back to you, gates are closed !!! Try it (of course always have a line ashore astern 😄)
I’m Heidi 😂😂 I’ve tried that lots and it doesn’t work for my boat as it takes so long to go from forwards to reverse with my old fashioned controls it’s impossible … I’m just as quick as a duo the way I do it though … soon catch them up … if you have a video of it being done I would love to see it though to see how it’s done 😄🏴☠️
Apologies Heidi!!! Yes I did wonder about your engine controls Haven’t a vid but have seen it done on one of the coal boats. He made it look easy 😉. Our boat does it pretty well but it’s the usual modern stuff 😄
BTW. Not pleasant in the stormy winds but worse under canvas 😆
I would love to see it done, there must be a technique as them old working boats were super fast in the old days 😄🏴☠️
Another great video, thank you! Sorry about the loss of the windlass!
😂😂 thank you haha
Enjoyed the storm sequence Heidi, you captured the mood well with the low light levels. Thank you.
I’ve only got little LED lights on the boat 😂🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate You little LED lover you! 😄
I did a 5 day yacht course and first night slept in back cabin with waves slapping against me stern! Worse was the guy in the opposite bunk snored!! ARGHH! Great experience sailing around the Clyde though!
That sounds wonderful Jim 😃🏴☠️
We love that honesty box
Yes, it’s fab isn’t it 😃🏴☠️
Love you blogs, always something different ☠️
Aww thanks Kath 😃🏴☠️
I really look forward to the Thursday updates. So entertaining. Great to see and hear the impact of the storm. Thank you!
Aww thanks Tracy 😄🏴☠️
Hey Heidi, I love getting all cozy under the covers on a stormy and/or cold night as well, getting that secure feeling listening to the wind and rain outside. Thanks for another fun video.
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Nice 👍 cant beat a Kraken 👌 we like it along that stretch of canal with the Shroppie fly and Overwater marina.. nice film regards Glyn
Yes the Shroppie is lovely 😄🏴☠️
Always fun traveling with you Heidi. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Deb
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
"Heidi, your the best...! 👍
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Did you really manage to walk away from Panda's Pantry without buying anything! I would have bought those 4 scones I saw lurking there for sure 😊
I know but I had a boat full of an ice cream delivery 😂😂
Glad to have another good one. Keep them coming. 😂
Another cracker Heidi. Thank you!
Thank you ❤️🏴☠️

Take great care whilst cruising.
Thanks David 😄🏴☠️

Fantastic cruising weather Mrs. You two make a good team. Loving it on the Nene. What an amazing river. Have a great weekend love. Xx
I watched you get back onto the Nene whey hey! Miss you Will 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Miss u too
I like a wee splash of lime in my Kraken Rum.
A club I used to frequent no longer has the Kraken,
Seems they carried it just for me⚓️
Aww I love all the different flavours that Kraken make 😃🏴☠️
Great vlog Heidi, and some lovely scenery along the route.
Hope your selling goes well from the boat.
Take care and enjoy the weekend. X
Thank you Bill 😃🏴☠️
Think that building at the start, possibly where Blacksmiths put shoe's on the horses, having a chimney at both ends, just a thought.....
Ooh maybe, I’ll have to do some research 😂😂
You braved the storm beautifully!! Like a true pirate (me hearties oow arrr) - Lovely video and thanks Heidi - Can't wait until next weeks episode Johnxx
Aww thanks so much John 😃🏴☠️
Nice to see you cruise by the other day and be able to say hello 😊
Nice to see you 😄🏴☠️
Thank you for another terrific sharing video 😌🙏 After nearly 6 months of living in a flat over winter, I’m off on my adventures again; but before I go, I’ll visit Crick Boat show, and I’ll look out for Coffin Dodger! 😉 Well if I can’t quite yet live on a narrowboat, at least I can look at them…😂
Aww remember to book in to view the boats before hand though as it’s a nightmare otherwise 😄🏴☠️
Great team work ladies, you deserve a good rest. Love the rotary line on the other boat. Very clever. You all think of everything!!! ❤
Yes it was brilliant that rotary line 🏴☠️
The storms they come in the night. And blow as a gale with its might. While the rain may sprinkle and make you want to tinkle. When the storm has passed t'will be quiet.
Fab 😃🏴☠️
Wow what a storm 😮lovely video 😊thank you 😊
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Great day earlier on eh.? Thanks for sharing Heidi. If I'd been able to have more time when we were on the Shropshire, I would have explored more of the canal. But we had the boat for just a week....so limited time to do a lot of exploring. Maybe next time.? Great episode mate. As usual. Atb from down here in Nz.
It’s beautiful the Shroppie, thanks Bryan 😃🏴☠️
