Stranded in a Storm | Boat life takes a wild turn |
Переглядів 43,700
11 днів томуI cruise my Narrowboat back across the Manchester Ship Canal onto the River Weaver and hunker down to sit out the huge storm which is on it's way - Storm Kathleen.
I create a video diary each day as the storm gets worse with wind gusts of 50 MPH, breaking waves, followed by the River Weaver being issued with Flood warnings as the flow gets a bit scary. The Storm and strong winds put a halt to moving the boat as it is not safe to cruise being single-handed (a solo boater).
It can be quite frightening in situations like this.....but not for me as I absolutely buzzed and kept a video diary of the whole experience as I go mad from too much of my own company 🤣🤣🤣 - I hope you enjoy!

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 and the perfect First Mate. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.

It was lovely to hear you play the accordion, we would love it if you played on your vlog more often, you are so gifted. My bucket list is enormous, so here are a few things from it: Spend a month or two in New Zealand and then Australia, swim in the sea with dolfins and whales, stand on the top of Mount Snowdon in Wales, spend a month or two in North and South Ireland drinking all the draught Guinness, and have a narrowboat holiday in Wales! There that is the some of the big ones on my bucket list. Have fun on the Weaver Heidi, lots of love to you and Bonnie. ❤x x❤

Hi hide another stunning video from you. The weather has been atrocious over the past few months.. unfortunately this is becoming the norm these days. I'm so glad to see that you are safe and well.. I see that your little dog bonny is enjoying her time on the canals. All I can say is that the weather will improve in the coming months.. hopefully. I can remember 1963 when the snow covered my boat I had to dig myself out of it. The canal was frozen solid.. It lasted for weeks .. people were becoming desperate for water and fuel.. When it finally started to thaw it was replaced with week upon week of heavy rain. The river weaver is always a dangerous place for narrow boats especially when you have a rising tide going against a flooding river current.. It can turn you around in the blink of an eye.if you are not don't have your wits about you. Anyway hide keep your self safe and well.

Living on a narrowboat is on my bucket list and I love history so I want to start visiting more castles and other places around the UK instead of flying abroad like I use to. Learning what life was like before my time is fascinating, specially when it comes to using ideas/systems that we still use today even for different reasons. I enjoy your videos and the traditional style narrowboat, I do wonder if you ever thought about attempting to "sound proof" the engine room to reduce the noise when you need to run it and youre inside or visitors are inside chilling as you're navigating around.
@TheNarrowboatPirate 9 днів тому

I know winds on a river or a canal can be a bit of a bugger when trying to move a boat. But I do smile when people talk about strong winds. I live on top of a hill and three miles in land down in Wales. Average wind speed is 40- 44 mph and in last weeks storm winds gusted 65 + mph. A comment was made to a neighbour about the wind " getting up a bit" . But as I said. It is all relative.... a 14 ton boat in anything over 30mph will wobble. My house with three foot thick walls will not ( or at least I hope it won't 😂) Now my bucket list 1 An extended trip to India. 2 A trip in a motor home around the uk 3 buy another boat and cruise the network for two or three years 1 won't happen 2 will happen 3 I hope it will But if I do these three things and it takes me 6 years that means I will be 70 with bugger all to dream about 😂😂😂 Don't do all the things on your list keep some to aim for Stay safe, drink rum & be happy.

Bucket list? We've just retired and are going to tick one off our list next week- we've booked to go to a farm in the New Forest, help fire up a traction engine, then drive it (complete with trailer) to a pub for lunch, then back and help put her to bed for the night 😀 We've been on the Falkirk Wheel and visited the Kelpies- Anderton Boat lift of course onto the Weaver (and the Pontcysyllte aqueduct many times and the Harecastle Tunnel 50 plus years ago and since ), but envy your ship canal- maybe when we have a bit more time! Would love to go across the Wash and up the Thames as well.. need a boat we fully own first (bucket list again) Thanks for another great video

Your adventures with Bonnie are inspiring my partner and myself to try our hand at narrow boating with our Frenchie, Buster. We just need to offload a few kids first. Because of these biological land anchors, we've decided to book a few river boat piloting courses and then to book a few boating holidays on a rental boat to get the taste and test the waters. Once the kids have flown the nest, we're upping sticks and settling on the canals. We hope to bump into you and Bonnie in a couple of years!

I got quite emotional watching you go for it on the ship canal with the waves billowing from the front. I know you were wet and cold but I thoroughly enjoyed it 🦆💕

Hi Heidi and Bonny, what a time you’ve had riding out the storm. My list includes seeing the Falkirk Wheel hopefully going on in a boat, and driving an old Routemaster red bus!! Take care xx

Sounds great!

Another great video, thank you. You are very patient but nice to see Bonnie not to stressed about it all. What a bugger Cathleen was!! Hope your trapped nibble recovers 🤣🤣 look forward to your next vlog. Top of my bucket list is to drive from Chester to Kefalonia (using the odd boat of course) 🥃

If I remember correctly from the foxes, The DA boat that you mentioned has steam powdered power steering. So be sure to check that out when you get close enough to her. 😃😃

Does Bonny mind the rocking of the boat in all that wind? Our little Corgi does not mind snow or wind but gets very anxious when we have thunder and lightning.
@TheNarrowboatPirate 9 днів тому
She doesn’t mind at all 😂😂 she hates it raining and windy on a walk and always pulls back to the boat but inside she is happy as Larry 😂

Another great vlog. That looks like proper Northern rain; the sort that no amount of clothing can stop, and it keeps going until it hits bone! I think that, after that, you needed a little coffee in a massive rum! If you had a wind turbine Storm Kathleen would probably have charged up your batteries in 5 minutes! Mind you, the noise it would have generated could have been annoying (and wind chimes would have been heard a mile away!). Take care, and safe cruising, both of you.
