Cruising solo with a dog, lots of care needed there and you sure do that. Have you ever put Bonnie in the water with her life jack on so she knows how that will feel? Hope you have, or you will. 🙂 Ahhhh, the river Weaver, so peaceful even in the rain. And yet, yes the wind and the lapping of the waves ... most people don't know how much noise the water makes against your hull. It truly can be very noisy! Well, at least you are safe. I didn't know you played the squeeze box! 🙂 How cool is that? One of my very favorite bestest of friends, years ago, taught accordion, and many of her students went on to play professionally, or become professional organists. l love the accordion. And right then in your video, you turn wacko and funny. LOL! After a storm, and with that much flow/current on the river, there would likely be lots of crap in the water that might impede your progress, or cause problems with the boat, the water intake for the engine, problems with the prop and the weed hatch, etc. Good for you for staying put another day or so until things really do calm down and clear up ... down and up. 🙂 Hmm, bucket list ... guess I better make a bucket list. At 76 years of age, I'm perfectly healthy, and enjoying my pickup truck and 21-foot travel trailer, after years and years of boating earlier in life. But ... hmmm, what else might I want to do? Hmmmm. Here's to that beautiful, grand Lister!

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.

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.

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.

What shall we do with the drunken Heidi; what shall we do with the drunken Heidi; what shall we do with the drunken Heidi, early in the morning? Give her a few more so she’s not a bore…snort On my bucket list is to actually come over to the uk, and get on the cut with my own boat… but I think that might never happen sadly. Well at least I can view others journey’s through KZbin. Love watching narrowboating content especially with you Heidi. You make even the most atrocious weather seem fun and entertaining. May you have fair weather and sunny days for future voyages. Ben from Australia 🇦🇺

On my bucket list, to get my 2 classic speedboats fully restored and back on the water this summer, but the weather is just not playing ball at the moment as there is no cover at the boat yard at the moment

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) 🥃

Brave, I would not not be out there with the rain and wind. You must trust your boat. The video you did behind the boat at 4:10 was cool great perspective. How long did it take to go back up the canal in the wind and rain? Well you know the one and only one thing I have on my bucket list. Not too far away. Thanks

Only a few hours, on deep water my boat flies because she has a huge prop 😃🏴☠️

Don’t start comparing prop sizes. It only leads to embarrassment and feelings of inadequacy.

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.

Boy, you were really banging out the doubleentendres today. That combined with the farting just kills me. My bucket list has you racing the Sarinda from Ship Happens and the Flying Coney. My money would be on the Wench. Very interesting that you said you didn’t know who rescued who. I think you’re a great person very genuine and very honest. You and Bonny are a great team.
