- Engine stalls, a dip in the canal and getting stuck on a fallen tree made todays narrowboat cruise a absolute joy!
-----------
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. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Pirate Boat

Ahoy! Many thanks for watching - My GoPro has since dried out and is now working perfectly (just a knackered battery whooop! ) 😁🏴☠ For more info such as filming equipment, Music, FAQ and more please visit my website - thepirateboat.co.uk Many thanks again for following our journey ❤🏴☠ Heidi & Bonny xxx
That is wonderful news..
I gotta say Heidi that was a great vid, how many people would jump in the canal like that, Your a hardy rum wench ow’d girl,fair play 👏👌😉
That's brilliant xx
So glad your go pro is ok and everything worked out ok in the end xxxx
@john47jones me for one. I remember that storm, the same week that I rescued a mobile phone from the bottom of a new bit of canal. Nice flat bottom with no accumulation of silt and random load stones to contend with. Felt it with my bare feet and even picked it up with my foot. Would have put my head under or swam down if it came to it - as i did for another person's pair of glasses a week or two later!
Buy a boat they said, cruise canals they said, it will be FUN they said!
😂😂
Best day of the week when Heidi post's another video..
Aww thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
Isn't it just 😘
First thing to do with any electrical item that gets wet is to take the battery off. Current flowing though water is what causes corrosion and eventually destroys it. Take the battery off then you can run it under the tap, dry it off and it'll be perfectly fine. Tie some cork balls to it for next time it takes a swim!
It’s all dried out but the battery is knackered … luckily I have spares 😃🏴☠️ it’s usually on a magnetic tripod with a magnet mount and I stick it to the side of the boat and everything but I knocked it off in stress 😂😂
Ditty
The rum wench was frowning
As her Go Pro was drowning
The engine then croaked
As her weed hatch got choked
A dunking was needed
And all this preceded
That tree!!
But her skills as a sailor
She cleared without matter.
A rum, yes a rum!
I need a calm day
and Bonnie to stay near,
So cheers Maties to a day without fear.
😂😂
A bin bag round her shaft, and go pro in the drink.
Lilting round a fallen tree, making sure she doesn't sink!
Continuing at a tidy pace, met by gnat's balls in her face.
But the rum was a bigun and went down well.
Worth it, after a day from hell.
Cheers Heidi
😂😂 brilliant
So pleased you managed to rescue your camera. You were brave to jump into the canal. Take care and love your sense of humour.
I love the fact you show everything that happens on your journeys. It's not all idyllic cruises
Thank you … I just show what happens that week and sometimes it’s exciting and sometimes it’s not 😂😂
Wow! What a miserable day but you kept your chin up and everything worked out.
You certainly earned your rum ration and I’m glad your camera survived.
Thank you, me too 😃❤️🏴☠️
This is going to be my new channel for bedtime. Drift off to sleep and dream of chugging about in the canals 😊
There was once a wench named Heidi, Who sailed the canals so free and tidy,
With rum in her hand and a heart so bold,
Her tales of adventure will forever be told.
You need a landing net. A long time boater friend told me to get a fishing landing net "your bound to lose something to the cut". Am I glad I did, as within a week I dropped my phone in the drink, on the third sweep I got it and it saves you having to dive in. The one I got off Amazon for £15 was "Fishing Landing Net, Xndryan 180CM Telescopic Fishing Net Pole for Carp Trout Fishing, Stainless Steel Folding Landing Nets, Long Handle Fishing Nets for Ponds". It came in handy for fishing out other people's sun glasses, keys and a rudder handle pin.. 😎
Also handy when the dog falls in!
A word-buckling pirate called Heidi,
Has a mind that isn't quite tidy,
With lips causing trouble,
Mouthing entendres that double,
She is far from being Girl Guidey.
😂😂
I felt sorry for you things going wrong, glade you manage to free the prop, and recovery your camera.
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Oh Heidi that was a tough day, but you not only managed to keep smiling through it, with a few curses 🙂 but made me laugh too. A rum, or several, were well in order. Bonnie must be so excited by her new life, new places, new smells, Swans, ducks and new dogs nice food and walks and then she has you too.
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Aww really felt for you Heidi when you had your troubles, but you handled it well, Bonny is so gorgeous ❤
What a nightmare start to the day. You got wet you got stuck, you even dropped a camera into the water. I hope the next day bought you chill times.
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Oh Heidi xx sending much love some days are just like that! Don't you know!! Made me think of the African Queen x
Your attitude is amazing stay lucky😅
Thanks Alan 😃🏴☠️
Thanks Lovely Heidi, for taking us along on this beautiful but calamitous cruise, lol. I'm glad that you retrieved your camera and that it still works. I hope that you and Bonny are doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thanks Stevie 😊🏴☠️
Been watching these for months. Excellent!.
It's all your fault!, well you and Robbie Cummings. I've bought an old Liverpool 58ft cruiser stern. Currently meandering down the Oxford. Weeks with no gas, no running water, no leisure batteries. 6 weeks in now and loving my new life. THANK YOU!!!!
Awww I really do hope you love it as much as I do 😄🏴☠️ good luck and hopefully you will have gas, running water and power very soon 😂😂
Heidi you overcame so much here and your spirit never wavered, well done
😊 thank you
Such a crazy day for you Heidi. You are calm, cool and collected. I would have been crying all day. Well done, cheers.
😊 thank you
And an old style bath 🛀 in the canal 😮
Blimey what a day , a mucky shaft , a wet opening and wood along your bottom . Bonny seems happy . Nice tidy rear entrance . Two showers , you'll need more rum so you don't shrink .
😂😂😂
You had me on tenterhooks with all the mishap. Thank goodness for the happy ending. Your vlogs are brilliant and inspiring. Keep up the good work. Love to you and pat for bonny.
😊 thank you
Love your videos. There's nothing like a little drama in life. You're one hell of a woman. I'm glad all turned out OK. Thanks
Thank you!! 😊
We were all a bit tense when the engine stopped. Yippee we were able to continue on. Cheers Heidi and hugs to Bonny. Hope the good weather continues.
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
What a great ditty at the end of adventurous day. Cheers woohoo
Love your adventures and glad you share them with us. ❤
Thank you 😃😂🏴☠️
Well done Hiedi for getting thru tough times, your brave getting in canal but we'll done for never giving up,it's not always glamorous on the canal so thanks for sharing it with us. You deserved the biggest rum🥃. Take care ☠️👍❤️
Cheers 😃🏴☠️🥃
These kinds of weeks make the good ones that much better.
They really do 😃🏴☠️
The weather has a profound effect on how we respond to situations. I'm so glad you mentioned it. Imagine if it were continuously cold and rainy. Keep safe!
So true!
I just love your content I’m so pleased that you’re GoPro is still working ❤
Thank you 😊
Wow when it comes all at once these things are sent to challenge us and see how we'll hanle it beautifull job, Heidi
Thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
If you put the camera in a bowl of rice, this is supposed to "draw" the wet out of it. You should always remove the battery, as quickly as possible if a camera or phone goes overboard. What a day you had, nearly drowned, nearly starved (did not do the shopping) Engine seized and then in the back entrance, your wooden leg burnt down!! Keep smiling Heidi, you always give us something to smile about, and that this week, was seeing Bonney trotting along the towpath, with her by then nicely dried Mummy!! Be good,
Another great episode Heidi. When I rented our Narrow boat, way back in 2008, I as skipper was instructed to lift the prop shaft hatch, EVERY evening when we'd switched off, and check and remove all weed/grass from the shaft. For the week I had it there were no problems. It's called preventative maintenance. However accidental jamming can happen. I also when I was a saltwater liveaboard, had my keys for my yacht attached to a float buoy. Also camera. No cell phone cameras back then. Glad your camera works ok.
Again thank you for taking the time to upload. Until next time, take care and atb from down here.
I’m always in my weedhatch … in and out of locks and going through narrow bridge holes are the worst places for picking up crap unfortunately 😂
Tip for the future. My old engine would bang something and stop dead. I quickly learned that a lump of wood, too big to break, had been hit by the prop and maybe jammed between the blades and the hull/weedhatch bottom. Sometimes nothing there as it had just floated off when the prop stopped. Just start the engine, as you eventually did and it would fire up and run normally as the obstruction had left the scene.
OK. check in the hatch when possible but a 'sudden stop' is most likely a plank of wood or branch rather than debris like rope etc., Stuff round the prop or shaft will cause a rough running rather than 'dead stop'. Engine failure is also accompanied by rough running and smoke. Rarely a sudden stop.
Something we all had to live with and part of the fun as is the resultant swim. OK in the sunshine but not when there is ice on the cut.
Great trip. Good to learn the camera was OK.
Keep on Rum running.
Thank you 😃 yes I’ve had a log wedged before and I had to saw it to get it out but often my engine stalls with rope, once with so much fishing wire 😞 I’ve had a child’s buggy - canvas, frame and wheels, a duvet and even a full length duffel coat 😂😂 it’s the joys of having a deep drafted boat with a huge prop 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate No problem as well as you are aware.
"it’s the joys of having a deep drafted boat with a huge prop 😂😂". Tell me about it. When I used to go up the Llangollen the lock keeper would come and ask my draft because Max allowed was 1foot 10". I used to tell him mine was "only 30". His maths was never good!
The prop was 26". Size matters.
Well done for getting through all of that! Stay safe and positive, Heidi and Bonny
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Jumping in to the canal was your African Queen moment - remember when HUMPhrey Bogart had to pull the boat in the swamp. Well done, finding it! Great camera work, and a bit of Bonnie too! Great episode! You have the best long boat channel by far!
awww thank you 😄😄🏴☠️
another great video to brighten my week. Heidi you really are inspiring me to want to live on the canal. trouble is I have 5 young pirates that need to flee the crow's nest first. but my future is to buy a Narrowboat and live peacefully. I wait patiently every week for your uploads. I also watch Ula & josh and cruising on the border. and the music you use for your videos makes me feel happy I will always be a lifelong subscriber and I have decided that this month I am going to become a pirate patron. and also, I really do want to meet you and bonnie in person. you are my inspiration.
thank you so much Heidi!
Aww thank you … watching and liking my vids is the best support you can give as it helps my channel grow so thank you 😃🏴☠️
Hi Heidi, wow what an adventure you had this video glad you got your camera back. Yes people are a bit strange sometimes and say it’s only a GoPro but this is your livelihood or part of , glad you’re okay and little Bonny , Love and appreciate you both. I have two dogs here in Australia one is a kelpie, cross cattle dog and my other dog. She is a pure bred kelpie. I just love my little babies like you said some days you should’ve just stayed in bed on 17 September 2018. I had a major truck accident and lost my right leg above the knee, plus heaps of other things like back fusion with two titanium rods. Etc etc etc but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Keep up the good work. Love your videos Cliff from Logan city Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️
Oh wow, I’m so sorry that happened to you …. Unfortunately I don’t make much on CZcams but it helps funding my hobby and towards new batteries for the camera , mounts, tripods etc but I love doing it, it keeps me busy 🤣🤣
Hi Heidi, yes I don’t believe you can become a millionaire doing CZcams , thank you once again for everything you do for us because you are one beautiful looking lady. You have a great heart. Lots of love from Australia to you and little Bonny
Love your vlogs Heidi !! You show the ups and downs of Narrowboat life. Thankyou 😊
Glad you like them! 😃🏴☠️
Grace under pressure, that's what I just watched. You continue to impress me captain!
Thank you 😊🏴☠️
Good food. Good friends.
Makes a good day.
Well, that wasn’t a very good day but we all have those to experience. Glad your engine is okay. Too bad about your camera. I hope it will work again. Hang in there girl. You’ve got this. Cheers!
Thanks 👍
You are very tenacious, Hiedi a big hug for all you had to endure and filming it too.
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Oh boy, Murphy’s law is really hitting you hard today. Sorry for Murphy getting you.
Thank you 🏴☠️😃
Quite a woman you are Heidi. I don't think I would of gotten in the canal !!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Hopefully next move will go smoothly. Best wishes as always, Deb
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Hi Heidi. Thank goodness there were no leeches in there.✌.
Heidi,you are an inspiration,and our favourite program every Thursday,glad you retrieved the GoPro camera and well done for being brave enough to enter that murky water 😩👍♥️ we love you ,Sam+ Jenny.xx
Aww thanks for the lovely comment guys 😃🏴☠️
Days like that are truly pants 😮. I swear A LOT MORE when they happen to me, so top marks for a/ filming so much of it and b/ keeping the beeping to a minimum. Large rum well deserved. Thanks for another Thursday 'fix' 😁
Cheers 😃🥃🏴☠️
Brilliant ditty! Casseroled the parrot! Funny. 🤪 Drunk rum all the way through this one! Heck what a to do!
😂 cheers 🏴☠️
You are an absolute gem and a privilege to watch on your epic voyages
Keep safe
Dave
Aww thank you ❤️🏴☠️
Hey well Done Hedi on finding the camera 🎥😩👏👏👏🤗 top girl 🤩🙌
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Wow, What a Day! Yet you are still smiling. I love that about you, no matter what the canals throw at you, you keep going with a smile. Glad your GoPro is not a loss and glad your Lister is still....Listering (?) You are awesome in my books. Thank you {Craig}
Thank you so much! 😃🏴☠️
You are amazing Heidi. What u went through and the beeps 😂 so glad the GoPro is fine. See u next week. 😎🇦🇺
😂😂
Fantastic video yet again, Captain and First Mate Bonny. Thanks for the shout out for The Martineers. Big hugs ❤❤
Cheers 😃🏴☠️
Bravo! So persistent and patient in the face of adversity. Cheers!
What a trooper! All sorted and still smiling. I love my Thursday Nights watching 🥰
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Put the camera inside a bag of white rice if you have some. It takes 4 or 5 days of rest in a sealed bag, the rice usually does a nice job of absorbing moisture .
It’s working now thankfully, just the battery is knackered but I have spare batteries as they don’t last long at all
What an adventure, or should i say nightmare. Its good to have Bonny to help you chill out on those difficult days. 💚
Thank you 😊
Well, looks like you had quite a day. I missed rum time so I am drinking a coffee to you and Bonnie. Such a wonderful like you are experiencing.
Thank you and cheers 😃🏴☠️
lol, is it so hot the cows wanted to swim? lol.
i'm kind of surprised there is not a battery powered impact wrench and socket you could use on the locks to raise and lower them.
dive, dive, dive, the horn... reminded me of a submarine diving. lol
We aren’t allowed to use them as the lock paddles are over 200 years old and some have tried and broke them and then the lock is out of action 😂😂😂
Bloody hell Heidi, do hope you managed to get some water, bet you had another rum! What a day for you xx 🍸
All sorted now - it was just one of those days 😂😂
Having seen a few narrow boater videos where gear goes for a swim and the magnets can’t recover it has me wondering if a clam rake might be worth carrying - thanks for bringing us along on the good days and the not so good - best memories often come out of when things go sideways
You're a flippin legend! Ambassador of boating seriously. I don't know many that would get their keks wet. Glad you got your camera back. Best boating channel out there! Even in the face of adversity you're still smiling! GREAT STUFF 🤘💜🤘#parp
Aww thanks so much for your lovely comment - it means a lot ❤️😃🏴☠️
You poor thing having to jump into the canal to retrieve your camera I hope it still works. You and Bonnie are so sweet together. All the best Stephen ❤
Thanks Stephen … it was worth it just to get the footage off 😂😂
Poor parrot..... Hahaha! // G o o d j o b !!! You are such a sweet and strong person. So much patience fishing
for the camera! It´s wonderful to hear that the GoPro is still working! // Enjoyable heart warming video. 🧡 *thx*
😊 thank you
Argh thank goodness it works! and good on you for getting in the water to retrieve it, hats of to you Heidi!!
And beautiful bonny such a lovely girl xx
Take care
Regards Heidi
What a day!!!!!! impressed with your calmness and resolve to fix the problems you were faced with. Well done. xx
Thanks so much! 😊
So sorry, but great job. Love to Bonnie....
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
You did well there
The joys of canal boats 🏴☠️
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Dear Heidi, the Rum Wench.
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). In the end you managed everything by yourself. And it looks as if you could even save the GoPro. Congratulations!🎉 Congrats also for always smiling ÷ being so positive.
2) The next thing to do might be taking Bonny to a diving school for making her diving license. So that she can help you with problems under water. 😁 ;-)
3) As a relatively strong, tall man, I would've removed most of the tree as I did 10 years ago when a really big tree fell and blocked a street. All I had was my relatively small but sharp Japanese hand saw and a ton of power (even more than usually because I was in love at that time). I cut through a round about 25 cm diameter tree trunk twice. And through lots of thinner wood. By the way: I like it much better if the narrow channel/canal is without bushes.
4) Please kindly allow me to suggest that you wench use a wrench and test if the bolts are still firm instead of only inspect them by view. Because it's important that the shaft is still firm/strong and in the right place (as you mentioned yourself). ;-) Thanks for consideration.
5) Please kindly also allow me to tell you something: I've seen boat people open and shut the floodgates with a cordless device (relatively strong drill respectively impact drill/wrench). Although it's a good exercise doing it by hand, maybe such a device could help you.
5a) There are special devices for multiplying the torque power for getting off stuck lorry wheel nuts (Vevor brand for instance, round about 60 Euro). Of course you have to wind much more, this device might be able to help you too.
6)The rear entrance kind of Limerick at the end was even more funny this time. I also always wondered where the parrot might have gone. It's not a big portion but I hope it at least tasted well. 😁 ;-)
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to both of you.
Thank you - Bonny hates the water 😂😂 We are not allowed to use electric devices on the locks unfortunately as they are over 200 years old and they have been known to damage the paddles and locks out of action then 😂 … I did test the bolts to be honest but couldn’t do it one handed holding the camera - it cost me so much last time so I was very cautious 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate
Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart... just a moment! No heart this time? 😱😞😩 Ooooh... sigh, sob.
2) A dog not liking to be in the water? That's quite unusual. Especially if it's a pirate's dog. 😁
3) Good to hear about the tested bolts. I'm relieved now.
4) Electric device not allowed to help with the lock gates? Maybe I watched a much older video then!?
5) But the torque multiplying tool or at least a ratchet (for nuts) will be allowed. At least I guess so. But maybe another narrowboat pilot has already found a solution for the problem.
Sincerely yours.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 sorry no heart, I’ve rectified 😂😂 I’m trying to respond to everyone’s comments on here and Facebook so it’s taking me a while, thank you so much for taking the time to comment - it means such a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dear @@TheNarrowboatPirate Lady 🙋
Thanks for replying and especially for giving hearts to my comments (at last! 😁😁). I always and totally appreciate both very much. By the way: Here are two 💚💚, one for the two legged, one for the 4 legged gal.
2) While your channel grows, I guess that you will have to stop little by little to answer all comments (just like every other channel did). Because it simply eats away too much time.
Until then
Cheerio 🙌
Wow you found it the camera you are so brave yea let it dry out thank you for your time Orlando Florida
Nothing like a good crank 🐸🐸🐸
😃🐸🏴☠️
Her GoPro sunk so ways assayed,
To raise it up thus plans are made,
To enter cut and begin to wade,
Our pirate now a damn mermaid,
And FOUND as hope began to fade,
Her bounty raised aloft, its duty paid,
Thus triumphant the canal she bade,
Farewell to celebrate with cool lemonad . . .
F**k it, I'll have a rum.
😂😂
You turned into Dora the explorer at one point 😁 most folk would have written the camera off but it goes to show what a positive attitude and a bit of determination can
do , life will reward your efforts for every bad day we always get a good one to balance things out .
Safe cruising .
Aww thanks Bruce … I couldn’t afford to write it off and luckily now it’s all dried out phew … just a knackered battery 😃🏴☠️
Thanks for showing the really bad days, as well as the good days. As a single handed, I also have the Captain Dog, boat share Narrowboat user it is a real morale booster to see the worries you verbalise (not in a pleasant way) and your cool approach to both dealing and sorting them out. Regards MikeH
Aww thanks Mike 😃🏴☠️
Glad everything worked out even on a rough day
Thank you 😊
The sky is so beautiful! You take such wonderful video. Oh man, some of those locks are horrid to work. It's always good of you to show the other "shitty" side of boating life, like dropping your camera in the water, shit. But you got it, yay!! And then the engine, yes check the transfer case, etc, but dang you got this all down. I really like that you show this stuff. It's important for all boaters, and especially for new boaters, to see these things and let them know they really do need to learn. You are spectacular, I mean that! Best narrowboat blog ever. Great ditty this week. 🙂
Aww thanks Ann 😃🏴☠️
You sure had a miserable time, but you always take it in stride with a good sense of humor ❤️
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Oh Heidi, what a terrible start to the day!! Glad you made it to your destination in the end
Thank you 😊
You’re a star Heidi , bless ya! Lisa xx❤
Aww thank you Lisa 😃❤️
Well handled
Most days are good on a pirate ship, and other days they turn to sh!t.
When a pirate goes in water deep, it gets things wet it's sure to stink.
Thank God for rum, when day's like that, to fill a cup and better a tap.
I give her credit, for what she does, so toast to Heidi, I surely must.
😃😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Dear Heidi
I know you get many poems from other's. Just so you know I am not very good at them, however..I do try, and do enjoy living the pirate life vicariously through you. I am a swamp Yankee that enjoys life, married 41 years with my wife,dog's, horses, and wildlife here across the pond. Thank you for sharing your life with so many of us, and I'm so happy you brought Bonnie into your life. You are what my mum used to say "a good egg". Keep doing what you do, and again... thanks for sharing life with us.
@@youknowme8578 thank you, I’m saving them all ❤️ thanks for taking the time each week x x x
Heidi and Bonny, you're great. What a day but you got through it. Thank goodness it was sunny when you had to go in the canal. So glad your camera survived! :-)
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
The more I watch the more I want a boat of my own chin up love hope engine is ok x
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate if you are ever passing through Leeds give me a shout I'd love to see to them moist areasmight need plugging😂
Sorry you had such a rubbish day Heidi, but you still came out smiling x
Thank you 😃🏴☠️😃
Thanks!
Thank you so much Alan 😃🏴☠️
wow Heidi, dropping the gopro turned into a wet tee shirt event, what a result lol x
😂😂
You should relocate to the Bridgewater Canal, no locks on it.🎉
Ship Canal are all manned locks too!
Lymm, Grappenhall, Stockton Heath, Moore and Daresbury are all nice.
Good Morrisons Supermarket shopping in Stocking Feet too.😂
I lived near them all once.😂
I know I’ve been on it and created videos on it many times 😂🏴☠️
Well done Heidi you’ve certainly been challenged this episode but you’ve more than accepted what’s been put in front of you. You get Trevor & Linda’s proud of you badge 🎉
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Wow! I am (as usual) in a kind of hurry and prone to skip a few seconds of the video now and then ... but after this intro, I'll stick to the whole video! (and now the comments)
Looks like a fab mooring with your friend - but yes, at times you need to go to a city to get supplies ... (and to train your dog)
nah, don't beep that "bollo**s should be allowed ... 😉 but this one seems to be a big sh**y one! Thinking that a GoPro might even have survived that water! But WTF about your engine?
CONGRATULATIONS for finding your cam! Hope you'll retrieve some!
NOW for the engine! - and a bit of a shower is always a good idea! Glad you managed to retrieve the data from the card! And good you can move on!
and WOW with full blast you got around that grounding! Kind of a victory, isn't it! I really can imagine how that feels! And hey, can't you get a more impressive horn?
Rear Entrance Stuff:
When everything drops, trust your magnet
Down to get wet yourself
With patience you will retrieve what
You dropped, got to blame just yourself!
But that's what boating's about: that
It all comes back to yourself.
You'll have to do stuff on your own
There won't be any helping elf!
So sorry you had so many problems 😊but you coped well 😊nice video 😊thank you
Thank you so much 😊
What a day! Happy to hear your GoPro dried out😊🏴☠️🐶
Thank you 😊
Looked like you had one of my normal days Heidi never seems to go how you want it to.But you battled on and you won got your go pro had two showers and a rum well done for that .Nick🏴x
Cheers 😃🥃🏴☠️
Your double entendres do make me laugh 😂😂 Carry on Pirate Pugwash
As is said, ship happens! But after all you ended the day in good shape and with a good snifter. And as for Bonnie, what can we say except awwww.
First time watching your channel. From South Africa. I have a dream to cruise the cut. Hopefully before I am too old. Enjoy your presenting
Aww thank you, I just show my week and sometimes it’s exciting and other times not 😂😂 that’s canal life for you … hopefully see you on the cut in the future 😄🏴☠️
