Winter Winds vs My Narrowboat | Solo Boating Struggles

Описание: Winter on a narrowboat can look magical — roaring fires, misty mornings and snow-dusted landscapes… but the reality can be very different.

This week I’m cruising solo on the Llangollen Canal, racing to beat a lock closure before I get stuck for a month — all while battling relentless winter winds.

What should’ve been a simple cruise quickly turns into a fight against strong crosswinds, failed mooring attempts and a very stubborn narrowboat that seemed determined to visit the opposite bank.

From diagonal drifting to rope-hauling disasters, this is real winter boating — unfiltered, windswept and slightly chaotic.

Welcome 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.
