What could possibly go wrong? 😂🏴‍☠️ Today I'm cruising the Jolly Roger with my pal Barry — although as we're both single-handed narrowboaters, we're each in charge of our own boat! The sun is shining, the canal is looking gorgeous and we're only heading a short distance to the pub for a quiz night. What could possibly happen on such a simple little cruise? Well… quite a lot, as it turns out. 😬 Things don't exactly go to plan and, at one point, I find myself desperately trying to get the Jolly Roger out of the way with a little help from my knight in shining armour, Barry. Once the drama is over, I also get a proper nosey around Barry's beautiful narrowboat, which is currently for sale. She's got a gorgeous traditional boatman's cabin at the stern but with a much quieter modern engine setup — a really interesting combination of traditional and modern boating.

Just another perfectly normal day of narrowboat life! 😂🏴‍☠️ Thanks so much for watching, and I'll see you next time aboard the Jolly Roger. Ireland Video starring Grace O'malley https://youtu.be/zWLD0CyyQMo/ ------------ 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 🎹 Nice & Slow by Heidi Manning Stiff Ripples 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
