Hi sweetheart, i have just retired and i am at this moment looking for a narrowboat to live on, when i first told my family and friends what i intended to do when i retired i got some funny looks and loads of questions why, you have just summed it all up for me in this vlog, i will now get them to watch this and say this is why i am doing it, many many thanks and i hope to see you on my travels and maybe share a rum together xx.

heidi, you have truly demonstrated that happiness comes from being thankful for all the things that you DO have rather than focusing on the things that you DON'T. well done and thanks for another wonderful video.

I have a few years on you Heidi and have recently become the oldest living generation in my family. Watching my parents and their friends over the years, I have come to the conclusion that staying active, not having everything conveniently at your fingertips is the best way to live and truly enjoy life to the fullest for the longest possible. But I think you already know what has taken me a lifetime to learn. Take care. 🙂

There once was a pirate named Heidi
And for her every day was a Friday
Her cares were few and her joys were many
Because she was always in for a pound never just for a penny

We are fairly new to boat life, and we have no regrets. Just love the freedom, the wildlife, the peace & quiet plus living more authentically. Love it. Thanks to you & your video's for the laughs & the education xx

A smile and a wave with some rum
Some food to fill up her tum
With badges in stock
This rum wench can rock
Lifting spirits of those who are glum

Keep up the great work 😊

It's what life should be like. Not worrying, stressing and doom and bloody gloom. Wonderful!!!!❤❤❤❤

Reason #16: The joy you share with all of us Heidi. Thank you for all of your effort sharing your life. You make me smile every video.

[trishalyons]

Heidi, I love the fact that you are living your best life. You’re happy, healthy, witty, and fun. Love your channel.

[katebroom]

Your 15 reasons dear Heidi gives us 100% reasons to smile, relax and accept life as it is. A warm, big hug to you from Belgium 🇧🇪. You make my thursday always bright.❤

[berniedavies]

Heidi your a lovely refreshing person and I love your videos. I had my own narrow boat for six years but unfortunately had to sell it because because of ill health in my family. Then I lost my wife, my real ship mate in life. I'm now on my own watching you. Keep up the very good work x

[trevorcrawford]

I'm a recent convert to Narrowboat Pirate. It's bloody magic. Thank you Heidi.

Hello from California ! Quick pirate joke... Little Johnny went trick or treating one Halloween when he rang the door bell at Mrs Murphy's house she answered the door and said " Hello Johnny what is your costume?" Johnny replied well I'm a priate, she asked where are your buckeneers he said under me buckin hat !😁

[gingerbob]

Heidi, please never change xx your smile, positivity, humour and sense of adventure, what an amazing and inspiring lady you are ❤️ you are our weekly breath of fresh air lifting our spirits 😃 keep up the hard work xx

[katrinebohr]

It's been 'pirate season' (solidarity and raised fist) ever since the dark beginnings of patriarchy.
So thanks for carrying the spirit 🦅✨✌️🕊️😍

Watched nothing else for days, been looking for the albert dock one im cert i saw a clip of keep em coming thanks

[julienelson]

I can feel your love of the natural world, and your freedom. I am SO envious! I’m in the states, so this lifestyle isn’t an option, but if it were, I’d do I in a heartbeat!

[neilwilkins]

Absolutely loved this week's vlog. I'll admit that since sitting/lying down at 6pm on a Thursday night to watch your vlogs, I see life in the canal very differently.

Living just off the Lower Peak Forest (between Woodley and Hyde) I see many canal boats when I go for a walk and see their life through your eyes/vlog.

Keep up the amazing vlogs Heidi

[lorrainerichardson]

This is why I wait with anticipation each Friday morning. Your vlogs are fun, relaxing and when I get out of bed I'm in a great mood to start to day. From last week I have turned into an old aged pensioner ha ha so don't have to stress about making a living. Thank you so much for starting your vlogs and so glad that your Winter included being with friends. Take care and have great week =-)

[SlurpyDave]

That's the thing with canal life, a simple thing like collecting kindling and banana bread n a brew with friends, great stuff👍

[dragnfli]

Your videos are a true pleasure to me!
