Preparing for Winter Challenges living off grid | Solo Boat Life

The winter months can be tough when you live off grid on a canal boat, as the days are shorter and due to maintenance closures on the canals and weather you don't cruise as long or as far. So in this weeks video I explain how I tackle overcoming power issues. I also try to get to the bottom of my Lister Blackstone gear box issue. Bluetti's Black Friday Sale: https://bit.ly/3YRvlZm ------------ 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. ------------ If you want to know more about LIVING ON A BOAT, CANAL RULES or WHAT I DID BEFORE BOAT LIFE then please watch these two videos:    • Live on a NARROWBOAT? | HOW MUCH? | Narrow...      • My Narrowboat is battered by Storms | Boat...   ----------- Watch my 2 month Europe Adventure in my little Campervan here    • The Adventure begins | VAN LIFE | FRANCE &...   ---------- For more info such as Filming Equipment, FAQ and more: 🏴‍☠️ https://thepirateboat.co.uk 🏴‍☠️ ------------- You can also follow my adventures as the Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Rum Wench, Pirate Boat here: 🟦 Facebook -   / thepirateboatuk   🟥 Instagram -   / thepirateboatuk   ⬛️ Website - https://thepirateboat.co.uk 🟨 Music - https://heidimanning.bandcamp.com ------------- 🎵 Music 🎹 Going all the Way by Heidi Manning The Rum Wench by Heidi Manning The Thrusting Cutlass by Heidi Manning Plus Music from Epidemic Sound Get a Free 7 Day Trial of Epidemic Sound Here https://share.epidemicsound.com/d1a8w6 ------------ 🥃 If you would like to buy me a Rum you can do here : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thepirat... ------------- 🅿️ Alternative way to buy a virtual Rum via Paypal : https://PayPal.me/TheNarrowboatPirate/ ------------- ❤️ Become a Patreon and long term supporter on the channel: The Narrowboat Pirate   / thenarrowboatpirate   ------------- #Narrowboat #canalboat #tinyhome #boatlife #singlehandedsailing #bluetti #offgridpower #offgrid #BLUETTIBlackFriday2024
