291B Canal boat cruise with a pirate
This is Part 2 of the day I spent with Heidi, the Narrowboat Pirate, aboard her boat "The Rum Wench". In this video, we cruise a little way up the Llangollen Canal in north Wales, starting from the Prees branch.
See Part 1 at: • 291a A day in the life...
See Heidi's version of the day at • Cruising the Cut with ... but be warned, her channel is not for the faint-hearted...!

Awww brilliant David, I really enjoyed our time together and will hopefully see you again soon. My interpretation of this lovely cruise will be out next week hopefully. It may have a little naughtiness in it though 😂🏴☠️

What a lovely produced mini series. So nice to see the huge variety of boats and small businesses out there on the cut.
My two favourite narrowboat people 😀 On the same boat AND in the same video - it doesn’t get much better than this ❤ 🙂🐿🌈❤️ A buttered Hot Cross bun, with a warming cuppa tea would be perfect right about now 🙂 Brrrrrrr it’s cold in Sydney.
Great vlog David. Never known Heidi be so quiet…. And we’ll behaved!!!!!!😂😂
I really enjoy your, witty, self-deprecating humor. Great video as usual.

Heidi is a hoot, and a most excellent person. I had the pleasure of cruising with her on Hazel the Wellbeing boat. A real pro, she is!
I forget how much I always enjoyed your cruising videos. I guess I need to go back to #1 and start over.
I liked your videos when you had your boat, but I like your videos since you sold your boat, and gone to this way much more. I didn't think that was possible. So much to see and learn. Thank you. One of the biggest benefits is seeing the English countryside by boat, seeing all the different people you interview.
Loved this David. Heidi is a genuinely lovely person with a very watchable channel. I note she kept her usual innuendo under control 😅

I just love the narrow boat pirate. I am so glad you did this documentary. She is such a wonderful lady. Funny also. She's very inspirational for women. I have learned so much about the canals, locks, toe paths. High tunnels and different bridges. I hope to visit your country someday. Just beautiful.
Awesome video! I do miss your narrow boating adventures!
I do miss the weekly visits to your boat when you were cruising the cut. This reminds me of those days.
I do love the sound of a Lister engine. Glad to see Hedi kept her flaps in check.

"Lowering the Bridge is the reverse of raising it." Yes, I'd agree with that bit of logic. 😇 So lovely to be touring on the canal again. Heidi's Boat's Horn is definitely reminiscent of Toad's escapades with the automobile.

Another double dose of Heidi…. Thanks David. Heidi’s casual wit and easy humorous exchange is a joy to watch. She is by far the more enduring of the many boating channels here on KZread, unlike most she is bound to be here for many years to come and second to none! Nice to see you back at the helm David, so cool of you to feature Heidi on your Channel, she is my favorite boater.
I've been enjoying Heidi for a year but just realized I found her on your channel. Thanks. Also, van related, I've been enjoying Lou and Emily for a long while thanks to your recommendation so thanks for that as well.
That Lister just sounded greeaaat . Excellent entertainment David
Heidi, I just wanted to comment that I love the sound of your Lister engine, you must be very attached to your narrowboat it always looks so tidy and well maintained. It was great to see you handling your narrowboat with ease, while David filmed. 0:08 😊
‘lowering the bridge is the reverse of raising it’ agreed
Heidi may be rubbing off on you. You said bridge hole. Lol Really enjoyed this one David, Heidi is a hoot
this was a wonderful video , i enjoy the grey skies . cheers
Brilliant! Classic Cruising the Cut…loved this, David!
Brilliant! The sound of that Lister engine does it every time 😊 Maybe you need a tiny boat fund David - and then a private mooring and a shed 😂 Excellent commentary as always & Great vlog Will look forward to Heidi's version too! ☠️
A beautiful cruse. Much enjoyed in spite of the gray sky. Thank you for taking us along.

Came onto Heidi's videos from David's, and have now gone back and watched 20 or more of hers. I do believe this is the first video in awhile I haven't heard Heidi mention 'Lock j!zz." Or 'wet the lips' with Kraken or Dead Man's Something or Other. I sincerely do appreciate the uniqueness you both bring into the world.
Heidi's engine is one of the cleanest I've seen. She obviously takes good care of it. Nice video David!

When it comes to watching narrowboats you're the only two I ever watch here on KZread and I'll tell you the rest cannot compare to the content you two put out when it comes to narrowboating, the content that's put out by you and Heidi is highly educational and entertaining plus you guys are not a bunch of conceited airbags that just go on and on about nothing never miss an episode of Cruising the cut and The narrowboat pirate😎👍👍💯🇨🇦🇬🇧

Congrats! You scored an additional video comment! Lol! Just wanted to point out where I've put my money... I keep watching you pilot other people's narrow boats and know Wreyland was a fine lady for your first. You, sir, will own an electric tiny or short narrow boat. You, like many of us, just can't escape the water and boat life. You just have to find the right fit. I've called it. Put my money down! 😂 You'll improve your house, sell it at a profit, and buy your almost-dream-boat (bc who can really afford their actual Dream Boat?). Keep at it, Mr. Johns. You're doing great!
Nice trip. I really like the pirate. I have been watching Heidi for a few months. ❤
Another fine episode, also following Heidi which is another great channel to follow. There was a distinctive smile when you took the tiller, I see you with a Wilderness Boat one day, towing it around behind the camper van to explore distant waterways :)
Wish i could get my ass over to UK and get in the cut bro. Dream life
Great video, as always, but now with a personal twist: My lovely partner is using your most evenly and lovely voice as well as your traditional pronunciation to learn that fabulous language of yours. Thank you very much and cheerio! :)

Good to see you back on the tiller David. You get the best of both worlds with this. Thanks for posting. I look forward to seeing Heidi's interpretation!
Am really impressed by The Rum Wench's swimming ability. She may have a 3 foot draft but she moves through the water with hardly a ripple even when up to normal cruising speed and also appears to suck very little water back when going through the Llangollen bridges. A good hull design and build no doubt.
Nice to see you cruising again David even as a guest, I hope you do get another boat and will look forward to watching your vlogs again if you make some, Cruising the Cut was the first ever canal boat vlog I ever watched and got me deeply interested again. 👍

Nicely done. Spoken as a one who appreciates the sound of a Lister. But more importantly, I appreciate your POV in this video. You were able to show more of the day-to-day routine. I enjoyed it.
A pirate doesn't push one off a ship, a good one will make them walk the plank.😜
Delightful on several different levels. Something very comforting, soothing almost about a Lester ticking over like a fine watch. I like Heidi and you 2 together, going to check out her channel.
Another excellent video David, we are now new subscribers to Heidi's channel. Also I'd like to thank you for your help in getting me and hubby through the early days of the pandemic lockdown. Watching your videos was a godsend 🙂

I’m enjoying watching as you have discovered the joys of simply being a passenger. Occasionally helping out of course, but otherwise enjoying the ride, or getting on with other tasks. There are endless vlogs from the perspective of the pilot/driver, but not much from anyone else onboard - am I making any sense. I don’t know, it just seems like the overall experience of being a passenger/crew would be really different from that of the pilot/driver/captain. VERY different indeed. 🤔 it’s just a thought, but it is glorious to see you discovering the simple joys of just being a passenger.
So glad to see you get out on the canals David, never a landlubber! Rather jealous you got to cruise with the magical Heidi though! Thanks for this, great you're still making canal videos.
Lovely Vid David.. and many Thanks to Heidi too.. the view from the elevated 'cut' was pretty fab..
Still fascinating to see that navigating off small canals, I own a Utrecht Pram myself but enjoy a bow thruster
Ahoy me hearty! Great fun, thanks David. Always enjoy your videos.
Sooooo relaxing. Thank you.

Whatever you do is great to watch even the stuff on the maintenance and construction side of things with the canals. Stay safe and well and keep up the good work. Cheers from Australia
