This week we cruise a Narrowboat on Ireland’s wild inland waterways… and quickly realise this is NOT your average Canal Boat cruise 😅🇮🇪 After leaving Galway and travelling through the beautiful Connemara region, we meet up with my friend Sandra — who completely relocated her life from England and even had her narrowboat craned into Irish waters 🚤 But boating on the Irish loughs is a whole different world… 🌊 Huge open lakes 🌬️ Waiting for weather windows ⚓ Different moorings, navigation & boating culture 🚤 And even a flotilla cruise! While waiting for calm conditions, we also step aboard Sandra’s tour boat, explore life boating in Ireland, and finally head out onto Lough Erne to see what narrowboating here is REALLY like. 🏴‍☠️ Featuring: • Lough Erne cruising • Irish inland waterways • Narrowboat life in Ireland • Boating logistics & costs • How she almost sank her boat • Boat Tour • Bonny the first mate 🐾 Go to https://bit.ly/narrowboatpirate_yfood_sale if you would like to try Yfoods for yourself and get 30% off site-wide using my code: NPIRATE-YOUTUBE, this excludes subscription. #Narrowboat #Ireland #WildAtlanticWay #LoughErne #VanLife #Boating #IrishWaterways #NarrowboatLife #CanalBoat #TravelVlog ------------ 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 🎹 The Rum Wench by Heidi Manning Nice and 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 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 #Ireland #WildAtlanticWay #LoughErne #VanLife #Boating #IrishWaterways #NarrowboatLife #TravelVlog
