  • description: What is narrowboat life really like during a storm? Well.... after a proper storm hit while I was moored up on the canal, I ended up doing what every boater does… hunkering down and waiting it out. For a few days, the boat didn’t move. The wind howled, the trees dropped branches everywhere, and the towpath turned into a bit of a mess. But honestly… it was also the perfect excuse to slow down, stay cosy, and just be still for a while. Now the weather has completely flipped — blue skies, sunshine, and finally time to move again. So I cruise a little further along the canal in search of a sunnier mooring (because let’s be honest… mooring under trees after a storm isn’t the one and this is the reality of narrowboat life 😅). Sometimes canal life is big adventures… and sometimes it’s just your normal week, riding out storms and moving a few miles for a better spot. And I wouldn’t change it. Once moored we get a visit from the fuel boat, and I crack on with some DIY - yes you read that correctly 🤣 I’ve also got some really exciting plans coming up soon — including a road trip to experience narrowboating on completely different waters… so stay tuned for that 👀 If you wish to try Yfoods for yourself the link is here https://bit.ly/NarrowBoatPirate_yfood_exclusivetasterpack ------------ 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. ----------- 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 🎹 Lady Garden by Heidi Manning Nice & Slow by Heidi Manning Bonny the Brave 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 -------------
