Living on a Narrowboat – You Never Know What You'll Find! Ahoy, me hearties! 🏴‍☠️ Who says you have to be cruising to have an adventure? The Jolly Roger might not be clocking up many miles this week, but that doesn't mean we're sitting around doing nothing! We're still marooned on the beautiful Llangollen Canal, so I'm making the most of being here and heading off on a little shore leave! This week, we're exploring the historic Welsh town of Chirk, where beautiful old buildings hide some rather gruesome legends, including the mysterious story behind all those HANDS! ✋😳 Then it's off for a good old-fashioned British car boot sale with Gabby and our boating pals, Nicola and Andy. As a pirate, I do love a bit of treasure hunting… although whether we find treasure or just somebody else's unwanted tat remains to be seen! 🤣 First Mate Bonny has also acquired herself a new set of wheels, and we welcome some lovely friends aboard the Jolly Roger for a trip across the magnificent Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. It's another week of narrowboat life, full of laughs, local history, friendship and little adventures. Because living on a narrowboat isn't just about the cruising… it's about everything you discover along the way! ❤️ So grab yourself a brew, put your feet up and come along for the adventure! Cheers, me hearties! 🥃🏴‍☠️ #NarrowboatLife #TheNarrowboatPirate #LivingOnANarrowboat #LlangollenCanal #Chirk #CanalLife #NarrowboatAdventures ------------ 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 🎹 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 support the channel you can 'Buy a Rum' : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thepirateboat/ ------------- 🅿️ Paypal Donations: https://PayPal.me/TheNarrowboatPirate/ ------------- ❤️ Become a Patreon and long term supporter on the channel for live updates: https://www.patreon.com/TheNarrowboatPirate ------------- #Narrowboat #canalboat #boatlife #singlehandedsailing #solofemaletravel
