  • Running a marathon, selling your home, leaving your job, and launching a narrowboat all in the space of a week would be stressful for anyone, let alone someone with Autism. Colin and Shaun are on a desperate mission to save Colin's mental health by ditching their old lives and buying a narrowboat to live on and travel the canals and rivers of Great Britain. But can they make it through launch day?

    That was pure nostalgia! Like looking through your wedding album years after your marriage where each shot evoked a wonderful memory ♥️ Moist eyes at seeing Dylan alive and happy once more; sadness at seeing your toughest times; and such joy at seeing the excitement and happiness generated from you both. It's like being given the chance to have another bite of the cherry! (Shaun, "you can't say that!" 😉). Thank you guys xx

    I’ve just watched your episodes 1-4 on Amazon Prime, for me they are indistinguishable from other content meaning they are very good. I’m in awe of Colin’s videography skills and editing. The episodes are serene and relaxing with a perfect music choice. Getting yourselves onto Amazon Prime is a well deserved prize. I notice you both present a slightly different persona in keeping with mainstream broadcasting. I’m pleased I have been able to follow your journeys and I’m sure you will go onto greater things. Can’t wait to see the other episodes and any more you produce. Well done and huge thank you.

    I didn’t even know you did these… just watched all the YT vlogs in real time, back then. In retrospect, as you said this move was to help mental health, Colin, it is sad that you commented at the farm that narrowboating still created mental stresses and was not the golden answer, apparently. I hope the farm is much better at doing that. Great to see sweet Dillon, again! ❤️

    thank you for the refresher. it's now spring in western Canada ( alberta ) and it's time to but my boaters hat on. I'm new to the water sports and really enjoy your videos. I have been on many boats over the years but this is my first sailboat. I'm really looking forward to similar adventures as you both have. looks so calm and relaxing. I need this open air environment to keep me focused. this year I'm finding it hard to get my head on straight and get ready for boating . your videos really help me. please keep them coming and take care.

    I love how you guys have a real affinity for the Lancaster canal and the aerial shot at the start of the video of Silver Fox turning into the Glasson Branch looks superb. As an Aussie tourist and a newby to canals as a slow, relaxing and unique tourist experience, the Lancaster canal is the only canal I've sailed on. It's such a pity we don't live 500 years so I could take more holidays in England and explore more of the canal network.

    Your boat videos have been endless fun and inspiration and we owe much of what’s to come on our journey to the years of effort and work you’ve put in - we owe you a Cherry Coke and Jam Shed or two.

    Hi guys. I really have enjoyed your adventures on Silver Fox, and watching this one again really hit home. In July I will be launching a new boat, using a crane, in Cape Town South Africa, so I anticipate I’ll have some of the same butterflies that Colin had as they lift it from the trailer. This isn’t a canal boat, though. It’s an ocean going catamaran. I’m not planning a UA-cam channel, but do have a website. Let me know if you want to know the link (your TOS prohibits posting outside links). Cheers and thanks for all the fun vids.
