Boat Life | LIVING & WORKING from my BOAT | Canal Festival Gathering [Ep 129]

[@nathandavis7187]

I cannot put into words how much I enjoy this channel. As a serial KZbin video-hopper it's very rare I find myself watching every video someone has done and then re-watching them, but here I am! Thank you so much for the amazing content, you truly are a unique and brilliant talent at this.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Aww thank you very very much 😄❤️🏴‍☠️

[@angelabuxton2143]

Thursday night is Heidi night We're watching all her vlogs Heidi has a tit of rum While Bonnie barks at dogs Each Thursday night adventure Is edited with care It makes me feel so happy And wish that I was there The pirate boat is awesome With its happy smiling crew You make us all so happy We hope you're happy too Keep up the fab work Heidi Girl and Bonnie Dog Aaaaaaarrrrgghhh ☠️ 🏴‍☠️ 🍹🍸

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Fabulous 😄🏴‍☠️

[@annhay4572]

Love that Leaky Lock poem. Speaks to me of life. And yes, as a former boater and now a caravaner, I love having tanks full/empty whatever, and batteries charged, etc. Makes life so nice. People who own homes that have water and electricity and sewer 24x7, maybe they can't understand the "joy" of this sort of thing. 🙂 Trying to find water, fuel, coal, etc, much less a place to park your boat for the night. Much less the concerns of weather and wind. Oh, nice rainbow! and sunset. and clouds reflected in the water. Jaks! twice! What a busy, fun, festival. I had no idea. This is so cool. Gorgeous boats, 1933 Swift. My last boat was 1939. AAAARGH!

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thanks Ann 😄❤️🏴‍☠️ the joys of off grid living 😂😂

[@Julie-g3u]

Nice to see Jackie again and all the stuff going on at the festival. Bonnie been an absolute delight there, getting on with other dogs and looking like she was enjoying every day. The lock ditty said it like it was. Enjoy your week.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

She was wonderful … she is great once she has been introduced to another dog 😃😃

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

@@TheNarrowboatPirate So Lady Manning's Misses Bonny (only) shows manners as soon as officially introduced to others?! Sounds like Bonny is reborn from a former time period and was noble once? 😁 ;-)

[@stevebeckett4114]

Did well to get Richard Parry on your blog. Spot on spec at the festival too. X

[@deblou7]

I love watching Heidi and Bonny. Bring on the innuendo, euphemism and the off colour humor. Im so glad i came across you Heidi, there is plenty of back door horizontal jogging going on down that tow path, keep up the good work x

[@marionjohansson4235]

What a lovely poem , got me laughing!😅❤️

[@DanOpdal]

Thank you for sharing your adventure! Thank you for taking me along. Cheers!

[@nickedwards212]

I love the way you live I lived on my mom and dad's boat for one year about 40 years ago. And I am hoping to go back to living on a boat again soon. Keep up the good work 👍💝

[@orchidhouse297]

Two words that should never be used alone 'MASSIVE & RUM.' or in my case 'MASSIVE & TAMNAVULIN.' Looks like the festival went exceedingly well. Hope you made a bob or two selling pirate treasure.

[@annjarvis9300]

Good to see Jackie having fun too looks like all had such a joyful time even little Bonney tc now the oldies

[@mishkawp8200]

What a fab festival. Lovely to see Jackie, and Nicki of course! So good to see Bobby enjoying herself too - she’s come so far since you adopted her. All those people and dogs and she did brilliantly. Safe travels up north - looking forward to the next instalment of life with Heidi already! 😊🏴‍☠️

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

😂😂 haha I haven’t seen her since but hopefully another catch up around Christmas 😄🏴‍☠️

[@half_p1pe]

The part with Balls Bridge actually made me and my husband die laughing. Thank you for your videos Heidi and for all the work you put into them. They're such a treat to watch. Cheers from the US

[@bethwiles8214]

Love Friday, cheers Heidi, Jackie and Bonnie.wished . I was there having fun but thanks for sharing.

[@PK_Blinder]

The white building in the background when you're filling up at Fazeley used to be where I worked before it was converted into houses... 😊

[@erikrijder4949]

DITTY - By Erik -watching from the Netherlands with his wife Arjanti👋🏽👋🏽 Loosely based on a famous song Her Bonnie is known over the Ocean Her Bonnie is known over the sea This Pirate is known over the Ocean Oh show us your video's to see Last night as we watched them cruising the cut The winds thrashing all over there Last night she was cuddling that mut The winds laying down over there Seeing the Rum Wench brings us much joy From here far over the ocean Bonnie and Heidi ain't coy To bring us their adventures in motion So happy so watch them and see.

[@jimmycogsdil9518]

Loved John's song dedicated to you. Wearing your hat looked as though it had been on the RUM!!! Old boats looked great very colourful. Really enjoyed todays video. Take care both of you.

[@JayneGunn]

Thank you again Heidi and Bonny for another feel good thursday.😊..........oh and you definitely aren't a baby re the wind, having had a couple of " interesting moments" in it meself..... until next week take care out there and careful faffing .😁.....oh and loved the leaky lock ditty.😊

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thank you 😄🏴‍☠️❤️

[@Claire_Scott]

It was so lovely meeting you and Bonny, the festival was great and we had such a fab time! Love being part of this community, hope the weather isn’t too bad for you at the moment. Bruno sends puppy kisses to Bonny ❤️

[@andyrbush]

I always get a huge grin watching your wonderful and happy vlogs, Great to see you with friends and having fun.

[@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882]

Moored at the same point as you, 10:40 for good solar and the great views, on my way off the Coventry. I have also worked on the embankment to replace track side assets on the west coast mainline, opposite the festival/boat club. … glad you covered the Lichfield Canal Restoration, I work on the rail and have a lot of experience with that whole section, 18 miles to be precise. Incidentally, I tried to join your channel as a patron but for some reason my payment would not process. Anyway, Great video Heidi, crazy that I had to miss the festival.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thanks so much Nigel 😄🏴‍☠️❤️

[@michealhand1001]

Well Shiver me vitals, that,s a lot of oohin&Arrrin,😂😂😂

[@colecoguy]

Another wonderful fun vlog this week! so much to watch! Always fun to watch you and yours, and the fun you have with friends and family ..... Thanks again love watching your vlog

[@jamesmaxwell1922]

Hi Heidi. Another great vlog. If it wasn't for the British weather we would lose half our conversation material!. Looks like the Festival was fun, and went well for you. I saw Mum last week. She is OK, although we both are feeling quite low. Not my place to say, but I you contact her I am sure she will explain.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Xxxx

[@CodeSquares]

Great conclusion to the ditty. For those of us on the sailing side of boating, we like to call it "the most expensive way to get somewhere very slowly for free". Hurrying is just not on. I just went out (also singlehanding) the other day in a bit more wind than I was expecting and ... came right back in after 20 minutes. Nothing wrong with knowing your limits! R!

[@susanhill9166]

Hi Heidi and Bonnie I had a right old giggle with your video, thank you. We have the storm here at moment, it's also been chucking it down all day grrrrrr, suppose to be over by 23.00 hours, to be a nice sunny day tomorrow. Take care, kisses for Bonnie X X X

[@obiblooze5902]

AAAArrrrr! That was great, thanks Heidi and Bonny 🤪

[@jayoneill1533]

Fun episode Heidi, it was great to see our old pals Jackie and Mr Canal himself, David Johns. 🏴‍☠️ Aargh! 🏴‍☠️

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Yes David is amazing 😄😄

@@TheNarrowboatPirate😊😍

[@joannebedford2]

A very big thumbs up to restoring canals

[@caroledrury1411]

Thank God the meds haven’t hit Britain! You don’t see singing in pubs in the states!

[@anitageorge9028]

I really love watching all your shows. Thank you for your hard work. You are so positive, fun, talented and I am old enough to be your Mom. But boy would I love to hang out with you or just talk and have a rum. But USA Kansas is a little far. Just so you know how happy you make me.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Aww thank you …. If I ever find myself in that part of the world we can share a rum together 😃🏴‍☠️🥃

[@geralddavies3262]

Another good vlog Watched 3 times today Love listening to your commentary You have some lovely words Keep going Heidi XXXXXXx

Hi grate videos keep it up from Moggy Mark.

[@rikkiharcourt3868]

Can’t beat simple British bumbling about to have a bit of fun no matter the weather. We are so good at it. Spend our lives in training! Glad you had a good time.

[@Peterbailey831]

Hi Heidi and little Bonny I look forward to seeing your blogs so down to earth keep up the good work xx

[@rhodaborrocks1654]

I spotted the cameo appearance by ex boater David there. Yes, the old engines are interesting, you've got a very nice one too, I'm surprised at how reliable it is considering it's age, it was certainly built to last. I think out of all the old ones I like the Russell Newbury DM2 most, those things sound so cool, if I was having a boat built I'd like to pop one of those in it. Interestingly they were built not far from where I lived in my UK days. Thank you again for a lovely video, I always look forward to them.

[@ellencaswick3131]

Great video again Heidi. Loved the lock poem!!! Great seeing you and Nicki back together again. Lol Balls Bridge. You really are living the dream life. So glad I get to live through you after my 9 to 5 job on Thursday nights. The Festival was great and Jackie was there too. Her and Bonny look great❤️🏴‍☠️

[@sparkybluefox]

BRAVO ! BRAVO ! ARRRRRRRRRRGH !

[@rebeccadees2300]

It was so lovely to meet you and Bonnie, meeting Jackie was also an added pleasure. I'm so glad you liked the rum!! I hope to meet you again in the future and look forward to continuing to watch all your wonderful videos, love Lucy x

What a wonderful time you and Bonny must have had! That rum looks delicious❤❤

[@anni50ful]

Ahoy me ansomes from battered Cornwall by the sea, the doors flew off the shed and we found a skull 💀 would you believe in the grass outside my front door,I thought the rum wench might of blown in for a visit ? I enjoyed the festival Heidi especially the stinky feet song😂 I went out with a chap from Coventry once,I'm pretty sure the Balls Bridge was named after him 🙄 till our next adventure OwwArrr 💀 ☺

[@anni50ful]

Kisses to Bonny☺

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thank you ❤️🏴‍☠️😄

[@caroleketelsen5445]

aarrragh to you. loved the vlog

[@glennalillpop3590]

Hello Heidi ... I totally love the Leaky Lock poem ... I think there's a message there for all of us to follow even if we aren't on a narrowboat. Happy end of the trading season. Looks like grand fun, hope your sales were good and the pirate booty was great to help tide you through the Winter. Jaki is a lot of fun, I was glad to see her and she seems to be a great Auntie for Bonny. Looks like Bonny did really well at the festival. As usual, I am reserving my spot on the Rum Wench for next week ... wouldn't miss it for the world. Hugs and love you you both and to those who journey with you. Please give a warm hello to Niki from "Gramma Lainee" as well.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Thank you 😄😄🏴‍☠️

[@sandihandi7831]

Hi Heidi. I've been thinking about all you boaters in the UK and hope that the worse of the storm misses you. I spoke with a writer from Scotland (where they had massive flooding last week) and he says this storm will be in Southern UK. Hope you are all safe. Take care.

[@b.b.grenade1407]
