Mum joins me again aboard my narrowboat in this weeks video as I head down the Ashton canal at Droylsden and descend the 18 Locks into Piccadilly Basin, Manchester. We get stuck for 4 hrs with a duvet round the prop so spent a lot of time in the weedhatch. A massive thanks to Aaron from the Wooden Canal Boat Society as we don’t think we should have made it, if it wasn’t for him!

Your mum is absolutely right, you have to keep planning and keep doing things, it’s when you stop and give up that you’ll age faster. My father lived to 92 he traveled to india and Cuba in his 80s. He went fishing in the Amazon in his 70s. He was absolutely brilliant and never stopped working or planning the next adventure. 🙂🐿🌈❤️

@TheNarrowboatPirate Год назад

Oh wow what an amazing man ❤️😄🏴‍☠️

@markgruenberg6277 2 года назад

It's such a shame that people treat the canal as a trash bin. Still at least you had help available. Qudos to your assistants, especially your mom. Be well and stay safe.

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Thanks Mark, yes i wouldn’t have coped on my own to be honest 😄🏴‍☠️

@tugboatsoutham 2 года назад

Aaron is a star. He hardly misses a trip on the boats and took to boating like a duck to water. I'm not sure if we'd be able to fulfill all the "Thank You" trips booked without his help (That's free boat trips for NHS and care workers and people with mental health issues folks don't hang about book your trip now) . He rang me about waders. We do have some but they're useless for that job, we've tried. Because you have to lean forward down to water level to get your arm under the counter the water just floods in over the front flap of the waders and fills your legs.

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Ahoy! Yes Aaron was an absolute star .. I don’t know what we would have done without him to be honest 😂❤️🏴‍☠️ I completely understand about the waders as I have long gloves but I can’t feel fishing wire in them and when I do down deep they also fill with water 😂🏴‍☠️

@beckyskye6708 2 года назад

Perhaps avoid waders as can be dangerous, instead a divers wet suit could be the best. Or bring back the stocks, better!

@johnhardwick8771 Год назад

2016 when I last boated, during that year vandals drained the Wolverhampton 21 despite a number of them having anti-vandal locks.

@michaelpilling9659 Год назад

Hello Heidi - greetings from Poland. What a bloody mess! I really felt for the three of you trying to remove all that crap wrapped around the prop. Your Mum and Aaron were fabulous. 4 hours! Unbelievable! How you would have managed if you'd been on your own, god knows. Anyway, a very picturesque cruise to Portland Basin and onto the Ashton Canal and down the 18 locks into Manchester, mooring up in Piccadily. theTjoys of boating! You were brilliant. A wonderful video showing canal life, wauts and all! Stay safe please.

@TheNarrowboatPirate Год назад

Aww thanks Michael …. It was stuck under the boat so really hard to drag it out and hack at it 😂

@rowancrafts Год назад

Totally agree with your mum. I'm 70 and doing as much as I can and perhaps more than I should. Painting the outside rendering on the house at the moment. Once was told that you're only as old as you feel and at the moment I'm lucky enough to feel like a young'un. Love the videos.

@annhay4572 Год назад

Hi mum. :-) Oh my what a spectacular building/home that was/is at the beginning of the vlog, great history. LOL about your mum's age. She's a spring chicken! I'm 74 and driving a pickup truck and towing my 21-foot travel trailer all over the place every spring/summer/fall. I've had two boats, one for 12 years and one for 18 years, just sold the last one three years ago, a 40-foot twin engine classic wood power boat that I handled mostly alone in the tides and wind here in the Pacific Northwest, and did almost all of the maintenance, the wood and the engines and other systems. Your mum is a gem. She knows what she's doing! "Never give up." Amen. And ... to those people who seem to think the world is their garbage dump ... don't put your stupid shit in the water!!! Or the woods, or anywhere else except in the garbage can/bin. How do we pay back Aaron? What a guy! Glad everything worked out ok, Heidi.

Always something happening to our beloved Heidi I just wish I was there to help but you had lots of encouragement from across the pond as I taking my afternoon break after slaving away in my potting shed planting out pansies .and other colourful thingeys under direct supervision of "She who must be obeyed" "Happy wife happy life!" You all deserve a tot for that so I'm off to top off the fridge ,although I don't anticipate it will be there long. Sleep well tonight darlin ,Happy safe cruising. I'll think I'm on the Sleeper train from Plymouth to Picadilly tonight. just in case you find another duvet or shopping cart tomorrow. Bye for now Happy Jubilee Luvz ya lots XXX

@Dwhelan62 2 года назад

The mind boggles at the rubbish some people chuck in the cut Garry, i watch these magnet fishing vlog's and some the crap they pull out is mad.

@tugboatsoutham 2 года назад

A lot of homeless people camp near the canal but their sites are often trashes by fascist bastards who like to make life difficult for people weaker than them. As a result stuff like this gets abandoned and ends up in the cut. We once picked up a tent on the blade which I know came from a trashed homeless encampment.

@jonmanson5082 Год назад

Day 5 on our first cruise, we had a double duvet with cover in the middle of Birmingham. No one about. Wrapped around prop so took me an hour to push and prod and eventually I managed to pull it through weed hatch. It was more or whole so weighed at least 50kgs. No cutting knife so used pike pushing down and pulling up to loosen it. Happened in late March so it was blooming cold water!

@TheNarrowboatPirate Год назад

Yes it was cold when we tried to get mine off … 1hr is good going though … the problem with my prop is it’s huge because of the mid engine and the boat is deep in the water with the duvet was wedged under the boat … it took us just over 4 hrs absolutely nightmare …. It’s horrible when people throw crap in the canals 😩

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

@umbertoyltp 2 года назад

Manchester, I could have guessed it. I remember Narrowboat Will's vlogs from that area, horrible canals, lots of industry, garbage everywhere. Wrestling with that monstrosity of a duvet, you looked like a magician pulling out an endless string of hankies. Your jokes are better than mine Heidi, so I'll take a break, this was a very tiring video for me too, phooh, I tell ya! Great team, btw! Your mum was on it like there's no tomorrow. Drinks for everyone!

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

My mum likes to get stuck in 😂😂 Manchester is a wonderful city, it’s just the outskirts like most cities, the small minority ruin it for everyone 🏴‍☠️

@umbertoyltp 2 года назад

If the canal was'nt so shallow, I'd keelhaul them for a refreshing mind reset. Or let them walk the plank if it would make any sense. Shopping trolls and bedding wetters, aaargh!

@yeoldfart8762 2 года назад

Thought I had a rough day today. I’ve fantasized what I’d do if I had a narrow boat built for me and one thing I would want is to have an inboard/outboard for the prop so with a flip of a switch the prop would raise out of the water. Pipe dreams. Well I still have a cart full of firewood to split and WaterWagon hadn’t come yet.

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Ooh bet splitting that wood 😃 I don’t think you can get a raising prop on a steel boat only the small fibre glass ones although that would be a fab idea 😃❤️

@setholson6550 2 года назад

Wow can’t imagine how much worse it would have been with out those two. Why in the hell do people put this crap in the canals ? Why the cops catch folks doing litter they need to have the courts make them help clean the canals at least once a month for minimum 6 months then maybe they would think twice before dropping trash or anything ever again. Looking forward to next video. Really enjoy seeing your mom with you. I hope you realize just how lucky you are to have her along. Susan

We're so sorry we missed you when you were here. We both had the flu! I'd been looking forward to seeing you and bringing you a bottle of rum. Next time!

Aww Em, young Aaron was an absolute life saver that day … we don’t know how we would have coped - thank Chris for sending that angel our way ❤️

Another great insight to the wonderful world of boating Heidi....I love Thursday haha but for me the best bits apart from the lovely scenery is the rain, one of the best things ever! Terribly sad I know but I love it :) have a great week and hope to see you down in the Midlands one day :)

I’m hoping Black Country boating festival is on this year .. if so I’ll be there hopefully 😄❤️🏴‍☠️

Hi Heidi, and Heidi's Mom. Crumpets? They're not crumpets, I'm Black Country born and bred and proud of it, and we call them pikelets!. Good to see you pronouncing Aaron's name properly as Airon, not Arron as we hear so often. Excellent video again, can't wait till next week. Incidentally, it looks like there won't be a Black Country Boating Festival at Windmill End this year as they organisers seem to be having trouble raising enough funds. Let's hope it'll happen next so we can see you and Puddin, and Jackie of course, round 'ere!.

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Awww noooo about Black Country as I will hopefully be in the area for it this year … fingers crossed 🤞

ARGH Heidi!! What a nightmare! Worse thing we had wrapped round the prop (apart from some MASSIVE boxers) was something wrapped in a blanket, caught in a bridge hole (like you were saying). Think it was a cat or a small fox or something. Disgusting and terrifying all at the same time. Not been as brave going in the weed hatch since! 😟

Bad luck Babs I don't think your deep draft helps, you must pick up all sorts of S*** off the bottom that most cruise over. Thank goodness you had Mom and Aaron to help and give moral support. Stay safe..

Hi Heidi, another cracking video, shame about the duvet, what's the matter with people!? Have you ever been on the (or have any plans) to do the Lancaster canal? I'm in Preston and it ends less than a minutes walk from my house and has the added bonus of no locks :) unfortunately you have to navigate the Ribble Link to access the Lancaster.

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Ahoy, I’ve done the Leeds Liverpool but not the Ribble link as I went into the Albert Dock then up towards Skipton … I may give it a try in the future though 😄🏴‍☠️

Every boaters nightmare! you did really well with it, I am thinking that would have started my anxiety once it got past a certain point, i was thinking last week about famous pirates like Black beard, Black Bart, Captain Kid and one of the few Lady pirates Anne Bonny, and was thinking you should have a Pirate Nickname, or do you already have one? knowing your naughty sense of humour U was thinking Captain Short Beard!
