It occurred to me that your channel provides an historical perspective of England’s canal system, and you have fostered interest in the eyes of the public that the development of the canal network was the backbone of the industrial revolution. More importantly, you’ve fostered interest in conserving the canal system as an integral element of British heritage that should always be maintained and enjoyed.
Thank you. My husband and I have been thoroughly entertained by your Vlog over the past year. As a retired photographer, I am very impressed with the quality and consistency of your videos. We love the history lessons! AND the outtakes! As Americans, we would never know if you mis-pronounced EVERYTHING!. Thank you so much.
My mum and dad had their wedding reception in the Waterloo Hotel about 70 years ago! She said it cost 3 shillings and 6 pence for adults, 1 shilling and 6 pence for kids and 5 shillings for table wine. She’s 93 now but has loved seeing old Runcorn on your vlogs. I’m really pleased you have been made so welcome in my home town. 😊
There’s a good parable relevant to you guys... “A man who was traveling came upon a farmer working in his field and asked him what the people in the next village were like. The farmer asked "What were the people like in the last village you visited?" The man responded "They were kind, friendly, generous, great people." "You'll find the people in the next village are the same," said the farmer.” Everywhere you two go, you’re greeted in that same warm, open, friendly manner ... says a lot about you I think. A really interesting video again.. especially about the dry dock... I never knew they existed . More of the same please!
So I figured out that if I watch your weekly video as soon as it is published (8AM here in California) I can make it to the office by 9AM and my nurses won’t yell at me for being late (again)! Sean’s laugh/smirk/giggle puts me in a good mood every Friday morning. Thanks again, guys!
When I were young...(my best Aussie Yorkshire accent) and railways were more than government financial liabilities, those hand cranked cranes were to be seen in nearly every suburban siding around Sydney. Really took me back... Again, a bloody interesting trip today, this is becoming obsessive viewing. Thanks gents (and Otis), stay well and safe travels...
Hello lovely fellas......ooooh, ironing board covers....there’s a boring Zzzzz 😁 Looks like you’ve found dry dock heaven. I love volunteers.....their heart & soul goes into what they do....bless them! I feel like a 140 yr old crane today.....the garden weeding is killing me! 😁 Very interesting how they fill and empty the dock. ‘Waters Meeting’ I love that name. Friendly lot on the Braymar! Otis is so gorgeous.❤️ God I bet Runcorn stank with its Tanneries....no thanks 🤮. Who’s James Brindley ?? might have to rewind. Oh Otis, tell your lads we need you to have your own channel! 😁 2/3 of a million gallons.......that’s a lot! Lovely vlog, lovely fellas. I learn something new every week! Lots of love - have a good week. 😘😘😘
I remember my grandfather talking about the window tax. He used to own a row house in Cheltenham and several of the houses in his street was missing an upstairs window, probably the small bedroom window. He kept all his windows. It amazed me that they were never replaced later.
Wow... I laughed quite a bit on this. “Received with open arms... go away “. Great job on video and the brilliant information regarding the dry dock and the giant bathtub. Hahaha.
I may have to stop watching this channel!! Every Time I watch one of your fantastic videos I end up spending the next few days trying to convince the Mrs that we need to buy a narrow boat, Homeschool the kids, find "cottage industry" work to fund continual cruising and I need a hat to boot. Cheers for the great Vids guys.
A couple of years ago we broke down near the boat club.. we were desperate for our boat to be out of the water... The people there couldn't have been more helpful or friendlier ... They were really good to us in our time of need
You two are absolutely great together! I ALWAYS get a great laugh while I learn all about the UK canal system and some other interesting bits. Great video as always!
Living in America we have a lot of beautiful scenery but unfortunately we do not keep our local history especially here in Los Angeles. It's beyond awesome all the history you guys have around the canals . Thank you for the history lessons! Be safe and have fun you two!
Leo I have canals just down the road from me and I’ve learnt so much history from Foxes Afloat. Every time I walk my dog down the canal paths I always think about all the history that the canals possess thanks to the guys👍
I've winched that crane! Back in the late 60's, early 70's, my parents had a boat that was moored near there, and our boat needed to go into the dry dock. I helped my dad, and a couple of other guys get the boat into the dry dock. Glad you enjoyed Runcorn and sorry we're away and didn't get to meet you both. Safe travels and bon voyage.
So much joy watching you two and the information is always fascinating. Otis has the best spot watching people walk or float by. If I were there I'd be sharing his seat. The best way to start my Saturday morning.
Maybe the connection you feel is that you were the the Lock Foreman in a former life in that spooky looking house. The Shinning on the Canal, there may be a picture of you in the house from before you were born- please imagine dramatic music! Thanks for a really interesting episode.
Great video as usual ❗️ I always look forward to Friday’s morning a cup of good strong 💪 coffee ☕️ and a New Fox 🦊 video🎥, a great 👍 way 🔛 to start my day🌅✅
Just turned on the TV to watch a new program called "Million Pound Barges" and guess who popped up - Front and center ? Our favorite vloggers on narrow boat Silver Fox! Yaay ! Well done chaps, you more than deserve the recognition for brilliantly highlighting the British waterways with your excellent and entertaining videos 👌
Runcorn looks delightful and I’m captured by the “mood” of the volunteers and their restoration project. That’s an enormous plan to rebuild that link down to the river. Love that Otis always looks so attentive to what’s happening in the canal or the towpath!
You both do such a nice job of entertaining and informing us as we travel alone the canals with you. Thank you for all your efforts. Please pet Oatis for me.
During lockdown I watched all your videos from the beginning until I caught up to a current one. So, Thank you for that. It gave me a wider view of the world while I was here in my village in Wales. What was great was seeing many places in NW England that I know so well. Last week and this week you mentioned The Bridgewater Canal, which interested me greatly. Only today I discovered in my family history research that my 4x Great Grandfather, Samuel Atherton (born 1810) was a flatman/waterman/sailor on that canal. My 3x GGmother, Mary Ann was born in Manchester but baptised in Warrington in 1829 - so obviously the whole family were moving up and down the canal. I am quite chuffed to discover I have at least one waterman as an ancestor! Thanks again for your videos. I look forward to watching them just after 4pm each Friday. BW. Chris.
My daughter jasmine introduced me to you guys and I absolutely love watching your vlogs and hearing all the interesting history wherever you’re passing through or where you’re moored up. I’m catching up at the moment so got a lot to watch. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Gail xx
Greetings Shaun and Colin, If it was I in charge of the canal trust and getting funding it would be easy to recognize your value. The trust should compensation you by giving your yearly fees to you free at the very least. Everytime I watch one of your vlogs I want to be on that canal. There is no other way I would rather see England then by narrowboat. Luv you guys. Have a great day. 🌼🌞❤
Colin and Shaun, your Vlogs get better every week. Love the history on Runcorn and the Boat Yard. You met some lovely people there, and wow, what was with the Summer like weather? Always a very professional, interesting and entertaining Vlog. Thank you Guys. Take care. Oh yes, Otis stole the show always. What a lovely Doggie.
Hi Guys, another great vlog. Look forward to these every week. The wife and I have started watching from the beginning because we missed the first ones. We're really enjoying everything you put out. Thank you so much for all the entertainment and for bringing back the history and heritage. Cheers and many thanks, Bob & Ali.
As a newish subscriber I've been catching up on your blogs and number 91 holds family connections to myself. A member of my family was a lock keeper in Lapworth. Thank you for your channel. I'm thoroughly enjoying them ❤️❤️
Hi guys, hope you're both well, just watched all 152 videos over the last 2 weeks, loved all of them felt like I'm on the canal with you, keep up the good work.
Greetings Faffers. You should ask why late again? Well restrictions are starting to ease in France, so the work pattern is starting to resemble normality. It goes without saying that the vlog was up to your usual high standard. But on a more serious note🤔. In spite of your own personal trial, difficulties and personal loss, a great bis thank you for being a great pair and providing all your fans with a weekly dose of your version of humour😂, the continuity of a regular vlog and for your "friendship". I am sure that you have helped many people with your laughs, knowledge and great wit. Thank you. Stay safe and healthy. Let's hope the worst is behind us but........ Shaun, 🍷normally helps with the ironing. 😊
Welcome to Spain! We are on the south coast of Spain it’s freezing cold, cloudy has been raining for the last three weeks, bring us back our weather!!!
I am spending my extra time catching up on your videos here on u-tube, and I have to tell you the more I watch the more I love you guys! It is not only educational ,entertaining calming and so much fun. I love your sense of humor. The interaction between the two of you makes me feel as I know you. Thank you for sharing these fantastic videos Till next time Take care . I am from the USA and not familiar with British TV, are you with a network >? If not you should be You provide such a service to the public .
Happy Friday, Colin and Shaun! Loved learning about the dry docking at the boat club. A great day out in the sunshine, too! That historic water tower is a great bit of architecture. Thank you!
1. Colin...... an ironing board cover is Not an appropriate birthday present ( unless it had a full length picture of you posing naked) 2. Shaun..... you are the better belcher ! ( sorry Colin💟) 3. You two looked to be having a really great fun day! Made me smile! 4. Interesting info on the dry dock!!! 5.💟💟💟💟
@@FoxesAfloat Yep that's what I'm doing. Cause we skip the part where you put all the appliances in. I love the music you use do you have a music play list. Cause I'm shazaming everything but some songs don't come up
Looking very tanned guys obviously you have been enjoying the sunshine, 🌞 long may it continue. Great vlog as always very informative, enjoy the bank holiday w/end see you next Friday. 👍😁😎🐶⚓
The Bridgewater Motor Boat Club was a customer of mine in the 1990s. I supplied them with Carling Black Label and Stones Bitter. They were the nicest customers on my round. Totally genuine folks.
Well, we finally watched all 151 vlogs to date - it took us three weeks. Phew! Absolutely love your filming and great drone footage, area specific information and history, your funny stories and Otis. Oh, and you two are a hoot! Looking forward to 4pm on Fridays now 👏
I don't know, Colin. Do you think you ever might make it to Manchester? That water tower and pipe is huge! I'm going to have to look that up and learn a bit more as it's amazing that they'd run a pipe all that way. I imagine there's loads of history at the boat club. I can imagine them being all warm and inviting then telling you to stay here, but ya have to earn your keep though! Like getting shanghaied onto a ships crew. lol With todays show, for some reason, it's occurring to me how much work goes into these videos. Just the background music alone ought to be a real chore. Thanks for the hard work and I'll see you next week!
Same here Rose. We have a little French Bulldog and although he’s a lovely little chap he’s a bloody nightmare sometimes. Chasing squirrels, chasing other dogs that clearly don’t want to play with him. He’s like that kid in the playground who wants to play with all the other kids but doesn’t get the message to bugger off😂
Mount Vernon has fake windows too. President Washington wanted the house to look symmetrical. I never knew there was a window tax. Criminey! I'm all caught up on your vlogs, well from#119 anyway. Better go back and start with #1... I'm obsessed with you guys. XOXOXO! Thank you for HOURS of fun and learning!
It occurred to me that your channel provides an historical perspective of England’s canal system, and you have fostered interest in the eyes of the public that the development of the canal network was the backbone of the industrial revolution. More importantly, you’ve fostered interest in conserving the canal system as an integral element of British heritage that should always be maintained and enjoyed.
Thanks for noticing that John 👍🏻
I have said the same thi g a month ago and some lady said I was wrong, knew I was right.
Or in Normal Language without All the Long Words…… Your Ded Good at what you do 😂😂
Thank you. My husband and I have been thoroughly entertained by your Vlog over the past year. As a retired photographer, I am very impressed with the quality and consistency of your videos. We love the history lessons! AND the outtakes! As Americans, we would never know if you mis-pronounced EVERYTHING!. Thank you so much.

Exactly Chris. Like my mum always taught me. “Treat people how you’d like to be treated” 🙂👍
That's awesome. Lovely. Thanks, Chris 👍🏻💜
I think i have learned more history from you two than i did in five years at high school.
Agreed.
Same here!
Hehe! Thanks, Phil.
Love the ongoing focus on the many many volunteers that help keep the canals and their history alive.
So many people who love it!
You two chaps are very funny and informative. It looks like a solid marriage.
😊 thank you
I cannot watch the outtakes without laughing you are both sunshine. 🌈🖐🏻💕
Hehe, nice one!
At least the window tax gave us the phrase "daylight robbery" & boy has that been well used! Have a great week.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As always, a great trip, and education. Enjoy the background music. Much respect to the three of you.
Much appreciated!
Another great vlog chaps, that's probably done more for the image of Runcorn than their council have in decades! 👍😂
Aww, glad you liked it 👍🏻
So I figured out that if I watch your weekly video as soon as it is published (8AM here in California) I can make it to the office by 9AM and my nurses won’t yell at me for being late (again)! Sean’s laugh/smirk/giggle puts me in a good mood every Friday morning. Thanks again, guys!

Who the heck gave a thumbs down for this stuff? Excellent video. Informative, and funny as always.
Haha! Our little band of trolls 🤣
Wonderful,so full of history and lots of fun and laughter, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. Nicola Brewin ✨🥂
Glad you enjoyed it
We just love you guys! Thank you for taking us along on your travels and making us smile.
Our pleasure!
When I were young...(my best Aussie Yorkshire accent) and railways were more than government financial liabilities, those hand cranked cranes were to be seen in nearly every suburban siding around Sydney. Really took me back... Again, a bloody interesting trip today, this is becoming obsessive viewing. Thanks gents (and Otis), stay well and safe travels...
Our pleasure. Still loads of them on the canals too. Mainly used for lifting stop-planks in and out of the water.
Your enthusiasm is so contagious. It makes the content even more fun to listen to.😘
Yay, thank you!

Really enjoyed seeing how the dry dock works and the info on the water tower, great research and awesome content, thanks guys
G xx
Our pleasure!
Hats off to British engineers, the dock system, the pipeline, the water tower 👏👌and fake windows 😂 that made me laugh.
Hehe, cheers!
"See what I'm married to" speaks every partner in marital bliss (yeah). LOLOL
Hehe! It's true 🤣
Drone footage, fake windows, storytelling and sweet music, what more can one ask for. 🤗👍❤️🇩🇰

Legends!
Cruising the Cut on acid - brilliant entertainment again chaps - may your dry dock stay moist !
Is he? Well, that would explain some of his facial expressions 😂
Lv your Stories```These Canals are a Treasure for your Country!!!
They truly are 👍🏻
I have been watching your videos - You both appear very happy and contented. Which is nice 😀
Thank you! 😃
I think it was only watching this that I realised the hardest part of continuous cruising - the regular goodbyes.
Yes! That really affects me. I don't handle change well, so it's one of the sad sides of canal boating.
Ahh Otis sitting patiently on the boat whilst you were both talking about travelling East to camera was too cute. He's a beaut❤️ x
😊 thank you
You two are absolutely great together! I ALWAYS get a great laugh while I learn all about the UK canal system and some other interesting bits. Great video as always!
Awesome! Thank you!
Always so good to see your smiling faces - and Otis's silky ears. Thank you for making your vlogs so informative and interesting. See you next week!
You are so welcome!
Living in America we have a lot of beautiful scenery but unfortunately we do not keep our local history especially here in Los Angeles.
It's beyond awesome all the history you guys have around the canals . Thank you for the history lessons! Be safe and have fun you two!
Thanks for sharing!

@@matty6848 so lucky!
Reminds me of the old joke: In Europe they think 100 miles is a long distance, and in America they think 100 years is a long time.
There are a number of museums in Los Angeles that show how the original people in the area, along with the immigrants who came after.
You guys are JUST GREAT and Otis also.
Aww, thanks, Randy!
Always quality filming, never boring . Thanks .
Glad you enjoyed it

You too!!
Loved Otis doing the elbow out the window look at the beginning.
🤣
You two are awesome, a cheerful light in dark times.
Thank you so much!
So much joy watching you two and the information is always fascinating. Otis has the best spot watching people walk or float by. If I were there I'd be sharing his seat. The best way to start my Saturday morning.
Awesome! Thank you Frank!
Maybe the connection you feel is that you were the the Lock Foreman in a former life in that spooky looking house. The Shinning on the Canal, there may be a picture of you in the house from before you were born- please imagine dramatic music! Thanks for a really interesting episode.
Our pleasure, Bill 👍🏻
Great video as usual ❗️ I always look forward to Friday’s morning a cup of good strong 💪 coffee ☕️ and a New Fox 🦊 video🎥, a great 👍 way 🔛 to start my day🌅✅
Love that!
You two guys are awesome, such a bounce off each other.
Aww, thanks Neil!
Just turned on the TV to watch a new program called "Million Pound Barges" and guess who popped up - Front and center ? Our favorite vloggers on narrow boat Silver Fox! Yaay !
Well done chaps, you more than deserve the recognition for brilliantly highlighting the British waterways with your excellent and entertaining videos 👌
Aww thanks!
Runcorn looks delightful and I’m captured by the “mood” of the volunteers and their restoration project. That’s an enormous plan to rebuild that link down to the river. Love that Otis always looks so attentive to what’s happening in the canal or the towpath!
He's always on the lookout 👍🏻
Thanks for the first chortle of my day 0:21. Condolences on yer many years together. Here's to many, many, several and quite a few more😆♥️♥️
Thank you! x

Thank you so much!
You both continue to bring a smile to my face during each vlog. Thank you for your informative and hilarious delivery. Happy cruising!
Our pleasure, Julia!
Very interesting story of the canal. Thank you. 🤗🐕 Lovely shots of Otis looking at the wildlife.
Our pleasure!
Yes!!! A new video!
Edit: gotta add, absolutely loving the history during the fun banter and the hands on you guys got with the dry dock. 👍🏼
👍🏻
You guys are so informative. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Our pleasure!
During lockdown I watched all your videos from the beginning until I caught up to a current one. So, Thank you for that. It gave me a wider view of the world while I was here in my village in Wales. What was great was seeing many places in NW England that I know so well.
Last week and this week you mentioned The Bridgewater Canal, which interested me greatly. Only today I discovered in my family history research that my 4x Great Grandfather, Samuel Atherton (born 1810) was a flatman/waterman/sailor on that canal. My 3x GGmother, Mary Ann was born in Manchester but baptised in Warrington in 1829 - so obviously the whole family were moving up and down the canal. I am quite chuffed to discover I have at least one waterman as an ancestor!
Thanks again for your videos. I look forward to watching them just after 4pm each Friday. BW. Chris.
Wow! That's amazing! x

Welcome aboard! Happy binge watching xx
I really enjoyed this week's vlog. Upbeat. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Greetings Shaun and Colin,
If it was I in charge of the canal trust and getting funding it would be easy to recognize your value. The trust should compensation you by giving your yearly fees to you free at the very least. Everytime I watch one of your vlogs I want to be on that canal. There is no other way I would rather see England then by narrowboat. Luv you guys. Have a great day. 🌼🌞❤
Thanks for that!

Fantastic entertainment, great to have you telling us the history of the areas you visit. Otis is getting big and mischievous lol.

You can always start again from the beginning 🤣

Buying a narrow boat for someone’s birthday imagine how happy that person would be I would be over the moon
Are you dropping hints, Ben? 😂
@@FoxesAfloat maybe 😂😂😂
The Bridgewater Motor Boat Club was a customer of mine in the 1990s. I supplied them with Carling Black Label and Stones Bitter. They were the nicest customers on my round. Totally genuine folks.
Doesn't surprise me. Loved it there!
Oh my goodness! I'm not even done with the film and I just had to say "you really enjoyed this one" Well done both of you!
Yay, thank you!
I would love Shaun's laugh as a ringtone😂
Oh god no 🤣
Shaun showing lack of gratitude for an ironing board cover 😂😂😂 is there a better present to have😳😳
Absolutely 😂

Well, we finally watched all 151 vlogs to date - it took us three weeks. Phew! Absolutely love your filming and great drone footage, area specific information and history, your funny stories and Otis. Oh, and you two are a hoot! Looking forward to 4pm on Fridays now 👏

Brill vid guys . Fridays wouldn't be the same without you.
@Krew Kayden is Flixzone free? I’ll have to check that site out👍
I don't know, Colin. Do you think you ever might make it to Manchester? That water tower and pipe is huge! I'm going to have to look that up and learn a bit more as it's amazing that they'd run a pipe all that way. I imagine there's loads of history at the boat club. I can imagine them being all warm and inviting then telling you to stay here, but ya have to earn your keep though! Like getting shanghaied onto a ships crew. lol
With todays show, for some reason, it's occurring to me how much work goes into these videos. Just the background music alone ought to be a real chore. Thanks for the hard work and I'll see you next week!
Yeah, it takes a day or more just to choose the right accompanying music 👍🏻
Otis is so well behaved, staying put on Silver Fox while you talk to camera. Our dog would be in the canal chasing ducks. Bad dog owners!
😂
Same here Rose. We have a little French Bulldog and although he’s a lovely little chap he’s a bloody nightmare sometimes. Chasing squirrels, chasing other dogs that clearly don’t want to play with him. He’s like that kid in the playground who wants to play with all the other kids but doesn’t get the message to bugger off😂
Beautiful cruise and love the boat club, thank you both, Otis with his arm on the cover, just perfect. Love him.
Our pleasure!
7:06 Otis sees another dog.
Yeah, he loves other dogs xx
Mount Vernon has fake windows too. President Washington wanted the house to look symmetrical.
I never knew there was a window tax. Criminey!
I'm all caught up on your vlogs, well from#119 anyway. Better go back and start with #1... I'm obsessed with you guys. XOXOXO! Thank you for HOURS of fun and learning!
Haha! Happy catching up (again)!
I'm embarassed to say I usually have a poo bag in my pocket 🥴
Don;t be embarrassed, it's a good thing 👍🏻
