This week I'm adding a NEW ROOM to my floating home... well, sort of! 😂🏴‍☠️ I've decided it's finally time to make better use of the semi-trad stern of the Jolly Roger, so I'm heading to All Seasons Boat Covers to start planning a brand-new canopy. I get a fascinating look behind the scenes at how boat canopies are made, choose the fabric for mine and discover that when it comes to narrowboats... no two rear ends are quite the same! 😂 Before all that though, I'm desperate to get the Jolly Roger washed and waxed, but the dusty towpath has other ideas. After getting covered in muck — and having a rather annoying encounter with a passing boat — I've had enough and it's time to move on in search of somewhere a little more peaceful. Somewhere along the way I also manage to turn a perfectly normal cruise into an unexpected race against two walkers... and despite having an engine, I'm not entirely sure I'm winning! 😂 Eventually it's off to All Seasons to talk colours, designs and measurements and find out exactly what's possible for my new covered space at the back of the boat. So grab a brew, a beer or a rum and come along for another slightly chaotic adventure aboard the Jolly Roger. 🏴‍☠️⚓ ------------ 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 🎹 A Little Tug by Heidi Manning Flow Job 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
