Stranded in a Storm | Boat life takes a wild turn |

I cruise my Narrowboat back across the Manchester Ship Canal onto the River Weaver and hunker down to sit out the huge storm which is on it's way - Storm Kathleen.
I create a video diary each day as the storm gets worse with wind gusts of 50 MPH, breaking waves, followed by the River Weaver being issued with Flood warnings as the flow gets a bit scary. The Storm and strong winds put a halt to moving the boat as it is not safe to cruise being single-handed (a solo boater).
It can be quite frightening in situations like this.....but not for me as I absolutely buzzed and kept a video diary of the whole experience as I go mad from too much of my own company 🤣🤣🤣 - I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Rum Wench 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 tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.
