    All and all the spending were well worth it,obviously . For if you had not had your camper vans,imagine hotel cost 🤔🤔 lots. Staying in the camp sites are nice for what you needed,also those cost would have been a hotel cost. Not bad at all, Life happens. You had a Grand time,so Happy for you and Sandra,Amazing times.Thank you for sharing your lovely journey. Adore you on your boat.👍👍⚘⚘😊😊❣ Be safe and stay happy my friend. Give little Bonnie love from me here across the sea.❣😊😺⚘

  • @xoniwebmaster1
    @xoniwebmaster1 8 месяцев назад

    From a retired boat Capt, here's a suggestion for docking in a wind like you had in the vid. Tie a long line onto the bow stanchion running down the side of the boat ur docking on. Put a bowline or the like (a large loop) in the end nearest you. Place the loop over a mooring ball on shore. Using the situation in the vid, give it right rudder and run up the engine to pull the boat's bow into the dock. It's a Springline method. Best Wishes.

    • @TheNarrowboatPirate
      @TheNarrowboatPirate  8 месяцев назад

      Unfortunately there are no mooring bollards or that would have been easy 😃😃 we have to moor in, hold the rope then hammer our own pins in which single handed in 42 mph winds is very difficult 😃

  • @charlescorris3469
    @charlescorris3469 7 месяцев назад

    No matter how great the vacation may be It’s always good to get back home. It must have been tough adjusting to the weather. That was the most amazing castle I have ever seen. The Wench started right up because of all of the great maintenance you perform on her.

    No need to feel embarrassed being pushed around by the wind.. In a heavy boat, all by yourself, the wind can be a friend and nemesis.. I could feel the magic of the Mont St. Michel. Glad to see you back on the boat.

    Oh my, I've heard about and read about Mont Saint-Michel for decades. Your videos are the best! What an extraordinary place. The history you share is super. Stuff you and Sandra say make me smile. 🙂
    So you took the boat across from France to England rather than the channel/tunnel. I know so little, can you tell us about that choice? Maybe in a future vlog?
    Oh the engine on the Rum Wench sounds divine!! Yum. Welcome home!!! 🙂 That must have felt so good to have her start up like that.
    People helping people (and boats), what it's all about. That wind can be a bugger!! You help people too, Heidi ... Ian does too. It's all about that.
    Looking forward to more narrowboat pirate adventures.

    Hi Heidi Darlin,youre back after an epic trip and I'm back too .Yes I've done a binge of all your continental trip and I'm glad to say I'm pretty much back to my condition pre Stroke.I can't praise my two therapists and the Yoga too much ,they have been fabulous.
    You've just done a trip of a lifetime and packed so much in ,I'm so envious .These days with the weather still wintry go to our local indoor walking track and do a few laps above the iice where there is always something to watch hockey for bids and family skating ..If you want a rest you can stop take a seat BS Wtch the kids playing even the Zamboni cleaning the ice. .Now I'm back to normal you can expect my usual saucy comments .Btw congratulations 35K subscribers ,quite a mile stone.Take care darlin get your palate tuned to Rum again instead wine .
    Lots of love to you and bonny and a big shout out Sandra ,what a great touring buddy
