Hi guys have watched your channel all day. Having lost my son 3 weeks ago I have been in a dark place recently, but you have really made my day spending the day on your boat with you guys and watching the beauty and tranquility of the canal... many thanks
Hi, Nigel. I'm really sorry to hear that. So sad xxxx Thank you for messaging us and I hope you hold the strength to get through this. Sending loads of love! xx
Colin, please don't ever think your "useless" knowledge is boring. I happen to find it--all of it--to be quite fascinating and, seriously, one of the best aspects of your channel.
When Shaun is laughing like that, the whole world is laughing with him. No virus will survive when we would all would laugh like Shaun does! THANK YOU! Lots of love to you three. Anneke
Shauns laugh 😂😂 gets me every time! As a late comer to the channel, was good to see you did ok at the start of lockdown and kept smiling and recording. ☺️
Colin! Please don't ever change! I love the tidbits of information about the bridges and places and sights along the way. And you make it quite witty with your little comments! BTW, I loved the model train sets! I had a few when I was young also (HO scale), and I still love to see a model train show, or even a TH-cam video of a nice layout!
Those moments when you talk about love of trains and your past train sets is personal and cool. No need to stop. It personalizes the channel. That’s why we watch aside from actual narrow boating.
You guys are so generous with your time. You're the first TH-camrs who've give a return like and even a comment or two. That is just so nice of you. I love the information/history you give too. It's 8/7/20 and here in the states we're still in a real crisis with the virus. So I mostly am quarantined for health. That's how I found you just watching tons of TH-cam. Up you popped. And I just love you boys so much, except when you go in that mile half tunnel with iron water. Lol! I was terrified for you. ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧❤️❤️
They truly are the best! My wife started watching narrowboat channels and came upon these two and now it's what we watch in the morning before I leave for work. Very calming and always a laugh or two! We really appreciate these guys. Btw, we are in the US too. We live in Illinois about 15 mins. across the Mississippi river from downtown St. Louis, Missouri. I've been lucky enough to keep working through this pandemic. Stay safe!
I've said it a hundred times, I think - you guys are a joy to watch ! The outtakes really had me rolling, with all the laughter !! I was literally laughing out loud 😀 . Stay safe and stay happy ! Cheers !
Sean’s laugh is like the best in the world.🥰 And the English history bits and nuggets are so wonderful. Your channel is easily my favorite on TH-cam.❤️
Great timing! felt quite down this evening, I think its all been building up and today I had to have a few words with a couple who decided to join the queue to get into the local Aldi less than 2 feet behind me! I think that was the last straw for me as when I got home and put the shopping away sadness just swept over me. Then I saw your vlog and just like the magic that you are, I felt better. You are a tonic thank you, take care, be safe and keep vlogging please xx
We are all living in a surreal time and your vlog was just what was needed. It's good to see you are both safe and well. Colin, we love all the facts you give us and as for Shaun when he gets a fit of the giggles you can't help but smile! Stay safe and well guys 😀🤗
You're both so much fun to watch and to listen to the repartee between both of you. Such a pleasant discovery for me of your channel while I'm sheltering in place here in Los Angeles. Your channel is the third one I've subscribed to of narrowboaters and all three of you bring such a different and refreshing style. I look forward to watching all the previous episodes.
It's so pleasing to see both your happy faces and listen to your banter each week. That and absolutely first class video work make your show a true joy. Keep it up mates.
Outstanding video guys! Nice to see you are having some decent weather. We woke up to several inches of snow this morning. Must have felt good to move today, essential of course. We have the same travel restrictions here in NY, but on days like this it's ok. I plan "special time" for myself with fresh brewed coffee to watch your videos on Fridays and then again on Saturday to watch a second time. Thank you for them. They are most welcome in trying times. Travel safe. Remain well and strong. A pat on the head for Dillon and hugs to you both. K
As kids on narrow boat holidays, my older brother (by 10.5 months), and I would go ahead an prep the locks so that our parents and a lifelong friend (Ian) could navigate with a bit more speed. However, my brother (Jonathan) let go of the sluice handle and had not set the keep. The handle hit him in the forehead and subsequently knocked him out cold. Ian and my father took turns, whilst running, carrying unconscious Jonathan about a mile to the nearest road, where they hitched lift to hospital. We tied up in Stratford upon Avon for a day or two whilst Jonathan had a short spell in hospital. I think we were about 11 or 12. Great Times
Thanks for another great vlog, I am always a bit sad when they end.Your laughing and closeness always makes me feel happy and we can all do with a bit of that at the moment can t we. Good luck lads and can't wait for the next time. P S those flying trains will be something won't they.😂😂
Glad to see you guys having fun and smiling! Despite watching 100's of Narrowboating videos I learned things about opening only 1 side from your lock demonstration. Top notch entertainment - thanks!
You guys make my day, we are in total lockdown here in Dunedin New Zealand, your blogs brighten our day, we still have two weeks at least to go and the signs are good for us as a community to beat this virus, so a big THANKS from NZ! Regards Nev!
I’m glad you guys are ok. You know, if you run out of things to post due to lockdown, you could always do a 15 minute video of Shaun cracking up on camera.... it’ll bring a smile to our faces
Just scanning thru some old videos 10 months since this one and really hard to believe everything that has happened , not just in your lives but the whole world around us . It seems the pandemic has brought the world closer , and the problems we all faced before this pale in comparison , love you guys , and OTIS , be happy and stay safe.
You gentlemen should visit Rosco Village here in Ohio, after this lock down crap is over and it is safe to travel again. They have a great horse drawn canal boat. It is like stepping back into the 1830's. The village is just outside of Coshocton, Ohio. We also have many ruins of canal locks.
Thanks for the excellent demonstration of how the locks are used! The visuals made it nice when included with the narrative! Very few have taken the time, and the fact that your discussions throughout the cruise keep many of us coming back! I end up skipping through many of the other narrow boat youtubers because of boredom!
Thank you for the explanation of how the locks work. That would be hard to do without a partner--I can't imagine being a single boater doing these locks!
I'm perfectly comfortable with you local knowledge clips. Yes I do forget them instantly, but for that 1 moment they are very important. Good job guys. Be safe.
Nice to see the Foxy Twins Vloggging again with another groovy journey. Even those this Vlog you tell us was just to take care of existential things for your daily living, you still filled your adventure with lovely English country side, interesting history and as always, the two of you groovy humor. Believe it or not, those of us like you who are in quarantine need to see what you two offer. That is, that life can still be wonderful during these trying times. You know guys, even when your not traveling the canals it would still be groovy to see some Day In The Life footage. The adventures of Dillon would be nice. Keep up the good work, we need your uplifting personalities to remind us that everything is going to be okay.
You guys are way better than Benny Hill when it comes to comedy!! Shaun's laugh is infectious and Colin your smile could lightup NewYork! Love you guys immensely, stay safe, keep up the great work and can't wait for your next vlog!! 😄👍🖖
Love you guys :) All that laughter made my day...after almost a month of self-isolation I'm starting to lose it! Between politics and the virus we need all the happy happy we can find. So thank you both and the furry critter...stay safe!
We've just enjoyed another adventure with our Foxy Friends. So I feel it's high time that we become a patreon. We're proud to be known as your newest patreons.
Just love your flow of local knowledge as you travel around. Nothing like a bit of faffing about. At least you can go for walks etc in your “lockdown” . We in SA on full lockdown. The humor & double meanings are great. Keep it up!! Stay safe. 🍷🍷Cheers. 👍👍
I gotta say ... I love your outtakes... and the laughter from Sean is fabulous!! Thanks to both of you! Love your Vlogs and all the historical tid bits also great! Take care and stay well!
assuming you have a laptop and or a tablet/iPad you could always download a train simulator game. then you could control multiple train, (electric, diesel and steam) all together. i have a couple on both a laptop and on a ipad. if like me you are pushed for space but enjoy the art of commanding locomotives. then this might be an alternative option. plus a real space~saver. as always watching your videos is always a pleasure. both of you ( Colin and Shaun) are so beautifully matched together. and on a personal note. the way in which you, Colin express raise the profile and awareness of mental health really makes a deep positive connection with me. so thank you both for making my life a happier place to be in and i hope to go on to watch many more years of you beautiful journeys along the cuttings and canals. sorry to waffle on kind regards Chris xXx
Well you guys have done it again...another great video! 👍 Really interesting hearing how the locks work, thank you Colin for taking the time to do that. Enjoyed this immensely! 😊 Thank you Shaun for your laughter...had me laughing along. Please give Dillon a cuddle for me. 💖 You guys are so good for the soul...Thank you, stay safe...take really good care!
That was the best lock explanation I’ve heard yet. Thank you. Baths I would definitely miss and you seem to get a good fix of trains along the way. When the ‘new normal’ arrives maybe Sean will treat you to a quick fast train ride. Maybe not 😊
Love the historical vignettes, and particularly enjoyed seeing how locks work. Have read a couple fiction works that contained tales of canal trips, with much dialogue about locks. Could never quite get an idea how they actually worked, so your demonstration was brilliant.
Yes my weekly dosis of the foxy boys, nice vlog, info about the history of the canals, Shaun laughing ,it is got it all , thanks boys have a lovely weekend and stay save, kisses to Dillon,greetings from Benjamin from the Netherlands ⛵⛵⛵🕊
Thank you for giving me such a good laugh, it was much needed today. I have no idea what Shaun was laughing at in the outtakes but he reminded me of that laughing clown in the box on Blackpool Pleasure Beach years ago. Job for him come the illumination maybe!
Colin, Love all of the trivia you keep providing. It looks like Shaun is starting to crack under the pressure of the lockdown. LOL. Thanks for sharing your journey's with us. Glad you are doing good and keeping safe.
A very educational Open (Air) University programme! 😃. Shaun has such an infectious laugh. We were weeping with his giggles. Have a peaceful weekend- as if you could do anything else. Take care. C&Lx
Colin don't despair I enjoy your so called useless information. Most enjoyable. I am learning a lot about England and the canals. There is no such thing in North Queensland Australia.
Although only a short (and of course essential !) journey, it was great to be able to join you guys again. I'm sure that many of your 1000's of overseas viewers will have appreciated the "how a lock works" lesson. Having previously done a couple of leisure cruises, my favourite bit of opening any lock gates is that moment when the water level has just equalised & you feel the gate is about to be able to be moved. Stay safe chaps ! 😎👍👍
Hey both where are you now April 13th your round our neck of the woods loved the blog as always .Love the swans such beautiful birds . HS2 is going through my beloved cubbington woods spent hours playing on there as a kid it is full of bluebells normally like a blue carpet they have ripped down loads of trees and trampled down many bluebells its criminal in my opinion they are also going to cut down a 400 year old pear tree keep safe both looking forward to next weeks vlog . Lorraine and phil Xx
Hi guys Your 97 yet again shows your professional production values particularly at this time. Keeping to your concept plot makes your blog shine out amongst those who simply jump on the coattails of our present position to join the rest of that herd. Based on your previous work I expected no less from you both and I was not disappointed. Correctly balanced...focused...informative...entertaining... funny and downright just how a professionally produced program should be. Hope both your hats still fit after reading this. Keep safe. Don't forget to clean everything you bring onto your boat/home.
Hi Peter 👋 Thank you so much. I said from day one that we wouldn't go down the road of 'Diary of lockdown' and the such. I think that's just taking advantage of viewers and in six months the videos will be irrelevant. We won't be changing our our core theme, and if anything, we'll be adding content rich material to help people forget the madness. Really glad you messaged us about this. Thanks! Take care.
We still have a man driving cattle with a stick in our village in Dorset. He only drives them between different fields, but it does mean closing an “A” road for a bit each day. Sadly, no canals though! Love the channel, watch it every day - brilliant!
There's something surreal about watching you guys strategizing how to acquire your needed supplies in the midst of the lockdown, from my own lockdown in California, while checking up on my friend in Singapore as she and her cat keep each other company on lockdown, and my friend in Tel Aviv celebrates Passover with his extended family via Skype.
Thank you Colin for your in-depth explanation of how locks work. As an Aussie I have always been intrigued with your locks and your drone shots helped but it was still confusing until now. Thanks so much Colin👍👍
The containment is less hard when I watch this vlog full of humor, protect yourself and stay safe
Same to you mate 👍🏻💜😝
The best antidote to lockdown is Shaun’s laughter. Stay safe please Foxes. X
You too lovely 💜
Thanks for cheering us all up! Laughter really is contagious! :-)
Thanks, John. Laughter is good for you 😂 xx
Hi guys have watched your channel all day. Having lost my son 3 weeks ago I have been in a dark place recently, but you have really made my day spending the day on your boat with you guys and watching the beauty and tranquility of the canal... many thanks
Hi, Nigel. I'm really sorry to hear that. So sad xxxx
Thank you for messaging us and I hope you hold the strength to get through this. Sending loads of love! xx
I like the "unneeded information" it adds charm and history to the UK for me.
Glad you appreciated it 💜👍🏻
I don't believe there is truly useless information! Share away!
With living on my own and not being able to see friends through the virus ,you two calm me and make me feel better thanks
Our pleasure!
It's not a Friday until I watch Foxes Afloat !
In which case... is it Friday yet? 😂👍🏻💜
Colin, please don't ever think your "useless" knowledge is boring. I happen to find it--all of it--to be quite fascinating and, seriously, one of the best aspects of your channel.
When Shaun is laughing like that, the whole world is laughing with him. No virus will survive when we would all would laugh like Shaun does! THANK YOU! Lots of love to you three.
Anneke
It’s so infectious too (his laugh)
Everyone needs a Shaun in their life.
Shauns laugh 😂😂 gets me every time!
As a late comer to the channel, was good to see you did ok at the start of lockdown and kept smiling and recording. ☺️
Thanks 👍
Great episode, I really enjoy Colin’s mini history lessons. I’m so glad you two are being very careful about exposure to others. Good luck!
Thanks, Jay. Only essential travel. We've only moved about 6 miles in 5 weeks now. Take care! 💜
Shaun's laugh is so infectious, I've just been in tears of laughter from those outtakes. Thank you for lifting me up from an otherwise rough day!
You are so welcome
Colin!
Please don't ever change!
I love the tidbits of information about the bridges and places and sights along the way. And you make it quite witty with your little comments!
BTW, I loved the model train sets! I had a few when I was young also (HO scale), and I still love to see a model train show, or even a TH-cam video of a nice layout!
There's plenty of videos on TH-cam. I daren't watch them because I start planning how to set something up on the boat 😂
Your laughter is such a joy. Love you two!
Those moments when you talk about love of trains and your past train sets is personal and cool. No need to stop. It personalizes the channel. That’s why we watch aside from actual narrow boating.
Thanks, Jeremy 👍🏻
The outtakes always makes laugh plus it’s good to laugh in these lock down days😂😂😂😂
Thanks, Take care! 💜
Even far away in Australia, we’re “all in the same boat” for once, your isolation is pretty bucolic (no, that’s not a disease or a vegetable)😎
It definitely sounds dodgy 😂 Stay safe! 💜
Shaun your laugh is so contagious. I can’t help but start laughing with you. 😂
😂😂😂😂

Aww, sorry to hear that. Some people are just idiots 👊🏻 Watch the outtake from Vlog 39. That'll cheer you up. Take care 😛
@@FoxesAfloat Just watched, "short and curly hayre! Lol. Reminded me of Mr & Mrs Royds and their daughter, Emma. Haha
Thank you!! In these stressful times, you two are a ray of sunshine!
Our pleasure!
You two are priceless! Great history lessons, Colin. Shaun’s laughter makes everything better.
Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe! 💜
Great video! I loved the discussion about driving cattle with sticks. Hilarious! Stay safe guys, and thanks for the video.
Our pleasure, Craig. Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe! 💜

Thanks, Sam! You too 👍🏻
First blog I've found which gives useful tips for correctly using locks! Very grateful for the tips, tricks and historical info. Thanks guys 😉
Awesome, thank you!
You're both so much fun to watch and to listen to the repartee between both of you. Such a pleasant discovery for me of your channel while I'm sheltering in place here in Los Angeles. Your channel is the third one I've subscribed to of narrowboaters and all three of you bring such a different and refreshing style. I look forward to watching all the previous episodes.
Welcome aboard! 💜
I’m very impressed at Shawn’s steering a 6’10” boat through a 7’ opening. 2” isn’t much of a gap!
👍🏻
It's so pleasing to see both your happy faces and listen to your banter each week. That and absolutely first class video work make your show a true joy. Keep it up mates.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Wow! I wish we'd had some snow this last winter. Still time I guess! Take care 💜
As kids on narrow boat holidays, my older brother (by 10.5 months), and I would go ahead an prep the locks so that our parents and a lifelong friend (Ian) could navigate with a bit more speed.
However, my brother (Jonathan) let go of the sluice handle and had not set the keep. The handle hit him in the forehead and subsequently knocked him out cold.
Ian and my father took turns, whilst running, carrying unconscious Jonathan about a mile to the nearest road, where they hitched lift to hospital.
We tied up in Stratford upon Avon for a day or two whilst Jonathan had a short spell in hospital. I think we were about 11 or 12.
Great Times
Jeez. What a story! x
That's what I like about your blog, is all the "useless" information. That makes it actually very interesting.Love your stories.
Awesome, thank you!
Hi Guys. Love all the history bits and giggles. Easter Blessings to YouTwo from UsTwo, Bruce and Gloria 🐂🐂
Same to you guys! 👍🏻💜
Nice to see you still having a laugh lads keep up with laughs we all need to keep smiling stay safe see you next week
Thanks, Kevin. You too. 💙
I love the outtakes of Shaun having the giggles... so funny....
😂
Shaun's giggles are so infectious, and cheeky. You both brighten up lockdown
When Sean starts laughing it reminds me of dondeluise and burt Reynolds I love it it makes me laugh out loud
Thanks for another great vlog, I am always a bit sad when they end.Your laughing and closeness always makes me feel happy and we can all do with a bit of that at the moment can t we. Good luck lads and can't wait for the next time.

Brilliant, the photography/ videography are just ACE, coupled with the facts and humor bring me back every time. THANKS! :-)

If laughing is the best medicine Shaun you are the healthy person around! Always good to relax with you! Colin I love the history so keep it coming!
Thanks, Judith! More fun next week 👍🏻
Now every time I see you smile I will be thinking of Wallace and Gromit! I know it will drive me mad! Curse you! :)
Haha! Nice bit of Wensleydale 😋
I’m glad you guys are ok.
You know, if you run out of things to post due to lockdown, you could always do a 15 minute video of Shaun cracking up on camera.... it’ll bring a smile to our faces

Good to see the bloopers back. Shaun... hilarious laugh.

Haha! I might sell bottles of it 😂
Man, I love these Vlogs. Funny and informative.
Glad you like them!

Baths I would definitely miss and you seem to get a good fix of trains along the way. When the ‘new normal’ arrives maybe Sean will treat you to a quick fast train ride. Maybe not 😊
I’ll get a train set one day 😂👍🏻
Colin is the great educator of the cut!
😂 Stay safe! 💜
Love the historical vignettes, and particularly enjoyed seeing how locks work. Have read a couple fiction works that contained tales of canal trips, with much dialogue about locks. Could never quite get an idea how they actually worked, so your demonstration was brilliant.
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
Yes my weekly dosis of the foxy boys, nice vlog, info about the history of the canals, Shaun laughing ,it is got it all , thanks boys have a lovely weekend and stay save, kisses to Dillon,greetings from Benjamin from the Netherlands ⛵⛵⛵🕊
Cheers, Benjamin! Thanks, Take care! 💜
Thank you for giving me such a good laugh, it was much needed today. I have no idea what Shaun was laughing at in the outtakes but he reminded me of that laughing clown in the box on Blackpool Pleasure Beach years ago. Job for him come the illumination maybe!
He's just like that clown! Take care 😛
Colin, Love all of the trivia you keep providing. It looks like Shaun is starting to crack under the pressure of the lockdown. LOL. Thanks for sharing your journey's with us. Glad you are doing good and keeping safe.
Totally our pleasure! Stay safe! 💜
That's cool. I've been wanting to see a practical demonstration of how the locks work.
Nice one 👍🏻
@@FoxesAfloat yes thanks for sharing the lock workings.
A very educational Open (Air) University programme! 😃.
Shaun has such an infectious laugh. We were weeping with his giggles.
Have a peaceful weekend- as if you could do anything else.
Take care. C&Lx
Cheers guys. I hope you;re staying safe and happy 😛💜
Colin don't despair I enjoy your so called useless information. Most enjoyable. I am learning a lot about England and the canals. There is no such thing in North Queensland Australia.
Thanks, Robert! 👍🏻
Although only a short (and of course essential !) journey, it was great to be able to join you guys again.
I'm sure that many of your 1000's of overseas viewers will have appreciated the "how a lock works" lesson. Having previously done a couple of leisure cruises, my favourite bit of opening any lock gates is that moment when the water level has just equalised & you feel the gate is about to be able to be moved.
Stay safe chaps ! 😎👍👍
Yeah. that sudden release 👍🏻
Hey both where are you now April 13th your round our neck of the woods loved the blog as always .Love the swans such beautiful birds . HS2 is going through my beloved cubbington woods spent hours playing on there as a kid it is full of bluebells normally like a blue carpet they have ripped down loads of trees and trampled down many bluebells its criminal in my opinion they are also going to cut down a 400 year old pear tree keep safe both looking forward to next weeks vlog .
Lorraine and phil

Such a shame. Stay safe 👍🏻💜😛
Hi guys
Your 97 yet again shows your professional production values particularly at this time. Keeping to your concept plot makes your blog shine out amongst those who simply jump on the coattails of our present position to join the rest of that herd. Based on your previous work I expected no less from you both and I was not disappointed. Correctly balanced...focused...informative...entertaining... funny and downright just how a professionally produced program should be. Hope both your hats still fit after reading this.
Keep safe. Don't forget to clean everything you bring onto your boat/home.
Hi Peter 👋
Thank you so much. I said from day one that we wouldn't go down the road of 'Diary of lockdown' and the such. I think that's just taking advantage of viewers and in six months the videos will be irrelevant. We won't be changing our our core theme, and if anything, we'll be adding content rich material to help people forget the madness. Really glad you messaged us about this. Thanks! Take care.
We still have a man driving cattle with a stick in our village in Dorset. He only drives them between different fields, but it does mean closing an “A” road for a bit each day. Sadly, no canals though! Love the channel, watch it every day - brilliant!
Awesome xx
There's something surreal about watching you guys strategizing how to acquire your needed supplies in the midst of the lockdown, from my own lockdown in California, while checking up on my friend in Singapore as she and her cat keep each other company on lockdown, and my friend in Tel Aviv celebrates Passover with his extended family via Skype.
Stay safe! 💜
Pure delight watching your wonderful vlogs.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank You from Canada for the great entertainment Colin, Shaun and of course Dilion. :-)
Our pleasure, Gerald! Stay safe.
great video and gut-busting funny outtakes! Take care and stay safe lads. Cheers Greg.
Thanks, you too!
Good to see you are both still safe and well, thanks for the flog.
Our pleasure Hugh. Take care 😍
I just found your channel. I hope to watch all 95 or so vlogs You are quite a pair. I really liked the lesson on how the locks work.
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome, John! 💜💜
Thank you Colin for your in-depth explanation of how locks work. As an Aussie I have always been intrigued with your locks and your drone shots helped but it was still confusing until now. Thanks so much Colin👍👍
Glad to help
