  • description: Winter on a narrowboat can look magical — roaring fires, misty mornings and snow-dusted landscapes… but the reality can be very different. This week I’m cruising solo on the Llangollen Canal, racing to beat a lock closure before I get stuck for a month — all while battling relentless winter winds. What should’ve been a simple cruise quickly turns into a fight against strong crosswinds, failed mooring attempts and a very stubborn narrowboat that seemed determined to visit the opposite bank. From diagonal drifting to rope-hauling disasters, this is real winter boating — unfiltered, windswept and slightly chaotic. Welcome aboard the Jolly Roger. ------------ Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Jolly Roger 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 floating home making badges and trading at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat. ------------ If you want to know more about LIVING ON A BOAT, CANAL RULES or WHAT I DID BEFORE BOAT LIFE then please watch these two videos: https://youtu.be/WcC6VrAW6ic https://youtu.be/YGW88oiYkFo ----------- For more info such as Filming Equipment, FAQ and more: 🏴‍☠️ https://thepirateboat.co.uk 🏴‍☠️ ------------- You can also follow my adventures as the Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Jolly Roger, Pirate Boat here: 🟦 Facebook - https://facebook.com/thenarrowboatpirate 🟥 Instagram - https://instagram.com/thenarrowboatpirate ⬛️ Website - https://thepirateboat.co.uk 🟨 Music - https://heidimanning.bandcamp.com ------------- 🎵 Music 🎹 The Jolly Roger by Heidi Manning Stiff Ripples by Heidi Manning The Thrusting Cutlass by Heidi Manning Plus Music from Epidemic Sound Get a Free 7 Day Trial of Epidemic Sound Here https://share.epidemicsound.com/d1a8w6 ------------ 🥃 If you would like to buy me a Rum you can do here : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thepirateboat/ ------------- 🅿️ Alternative way to buy a virtual Rum via Paypal : https://PayPal.me/TheNarrowboatPirate/ ------------- ❤️ Become a Patreon and long term supporter on the channel: The Narrowboat Pirate https://www.patreon.com/TheNarrowboatPirate ------------- #Narrowboat #canalboat #boatlife #soloboater #solofemaletravel #ukcanals
