The vessel doesn’t matter, it’s the cast of characters that make the show! Seriously, no matter what boat your on it’s you 3 boys that make the show. It will be hard to see silver fox go but we’re also excited to see the new boat build!
Hi are who guys coming back to Amazon for a new series I watched the first series but can I ask you went down the Leeds to Liverpool canal but can I ask did you go past burscough and top locks you should have had that on the show
The real star is your format. You give a little history, a little commentary, a little cruising footage mixed with puppyness and a dash of cheekiness. I live, laugh and learn here. And I've cried. Don't ever change that about this channel.
The star of the show for us, has and always be you 2 (two, too, also, the second, II, etc.) Things can be replaced, and are just that they are things. Love the vlog you always make my week. Thank you.
I won't sully the channel with specific examples, but the madness we are seeing in our world is really affecting people negatively. Many people are feeling hopeless and even believe the Apocalypse is here. Your videos provide escape from the insanity. No politics, no drama (except for when Otis goes overboard or a boat comes through your window), no analysis of the world's hatred or injustice. In addition to the scenery, history and banter, you provide safe haven, laughter and yes, even hope. Colin's courageous handling of his anxiety is inspiring and keeps my problems in perspective. Shaun's adventures with bowels crack my ribs! Silver Fox is just a boat. The main reasons we watch will also be on the new Silver Fox. Best of luck; looking forward to more voyages with you. Thanks for all you do!
Aww Sean and Colin.. you'll always be the stars of the show (Otis too). I'll miss the original Silver Fox, but looking forward to seeing all 3 of you on the new Silver Fox. Big hugs to the three of you and take good care out there 😉😊
You two are just so delightful to watch! My face hurts from smiling through each episode. Looking forward to watching all you do going forward as well.
Hi Colin and Shaun, I’m so glad to find out that you’ve sold Silver Fox and that you’re moving on to the next chapter of your journey. If only I’d had the money to buy it myself! The new owner is so fortunate to have such a wonderful, cherished boat. I can’t wait to see your new craft, especially as you’re building it based on your experiences and what you’ve discovered can be achieved in this type of vessel over the past few years. A good friend of mine’s sister (retired) has a huge wide berth and knows you two… that’s how I came to be introduced to your channel and your beautifully considered, filmed and edited videos. I’m not surprised at all that Amazon Prime took notice! Colin - I too suffer from the odd bout of deep depression and can fully sympathise with some of the challenges you sometimes face. If I ever feel sad and hopeless, I open YT, head to Foxes Afloat and you guys give me hope. Keep your chin up through the odd dark times and keep doing what you’re doing. Best wishes for the future. Dan.
If only Dirk, though I’m not sure I’d have the same charm and presence as these two (and Otis)! Plus, I’m single, so getting through those locks might be tricky 😂
I want to say thank you to you both and the amazing viewers, after all the lovely feedback on Calvin's autism poem his confidence has grown and he has been expressing himself in school with his English more and is doing amazingly. 💜
You guys make my day. I look forward to coming along on your next adventure when you get your new narrowboat. I am sure there will be quite a range of emotions as you step into the change that occurs with doing that, but oh so much fun as you find out where to put things (again). How to use the new layout to your best advantage. Then there will always be the familiar, Shawn at the Tiller, Otis at your feet and you Colin narrating another adventure. I just love you guys so much and I always look forward to your vlogs. Thanks always for all that you guys do.
Hi Colin & Shaun,....in a world gone mad,.....you are a very competent and entertaining wonderful entity. I thank god you found each other,...to years later bring us this respite to the narrative we are all now living through.🙆
It's bittersweet to know Silver Fox has been sold....but life goes on. Watching the new boat build will be exciting! New adventures await! Take care guys & stay well! Big hug for Otis! ❤🐕❤
It really makes no difference what boat you are on. It is the both of you that are the real stars. You truly brighten up my Friday afternoons with your vlogs. Looking forward to the new boat build
Hi guys, been watching your vids for a good while now, through all the ups and downs. We had to have our 12 year old Irish Setter put to sleep on Friday and I honestly haven't been able to smile since. His ashes came to us today, a very harsh time and I remember how you guys were over Dylan. I laughed for the first time in a week watching this vlog so just wanted to touch base and thank you both for helping ease the loss. Bless you xx
I'm very excited to see you build a new boat. I'm proud to be a subscriber since you built Silverfox. It's why I started watching you, but I continued to watch because I love the way you tell the stories of the canals. I can't wait to share the next year with you! Fridays at lunch time is my favorite during the week!
You guys have never dissapointed me i had two knees replaced got interested in this chanel a long time ago your living my dream im from Doncaster i hate it when i miss one keep up the good work you make me smile keep being yourselves it works thanks
Hi again from Canada. You two are a breath of fresh air during these ‘ Covid’ times. I grew up in a little village just outside Macclesfield and listening to you, your accents, and your sense of humour, bring back some wonderful memories. Thanks so much.
Lucky, lucky, LUCKY person who's bought your boat..... because you've kept her immaculate 💗 Really looking forward to seeing the new boat. You must both be really excited xx
Spider Man, chewing gum, a hairy backed dinosaur, fish tanks and gravel and a Justin Bieber blow up doll....Colin there is nothing left for you to talk about LOL!!! The boat doesn't make the show, you two and Otis are the heart & soul. I seriously love you guys!
Otis is such a smiler, he really does have the best life with his loving two papa’s 🤗 I’m so glad the new boat will inherit the Silver fox name I’ve been watching thru your older posts and it wouldn’t be right to see you three on a boat with another name.
Great vlog guys. It will be sad to see Silver Fox go to a new owner, but, see you guys every Friday is what counts. The banter, between the two of you and the affection that you show Otis is grand. Take care , stay safe and well. With regards Derek.
The scenery keeps getting better and better, along with the photography. I had to keep ducking when the camera was going under those bridges...or straight into them. Now I've got to get back to my Justin Bieber blow up doll with the odd shaped balls. Thank you for giving us these videos every week. It is much appreciated.
Friday mornings are my favorite time of the week. Watching Foxes Afloat on my patio with coffee in hand and eating my breakfast. Doesn’t get much better than that. Thanks guys!!! 😆
You are both so entertaining. it woudn't matter where you are or what form of transport you are on, I just love listening to both of you. Looking forward to the new boat, even more to learn. Keep well and safe. James.
Both of you are an inspiration 🙂. I spotted Narrowboat Silver Fox moored up in Ellesmere (Shropshire) a few weeks ago. One or two scuffs on the port bow 🤭
Recently found you channel and binge watched them entire series from the start. Dillan was a wonderful companion and his loss was shocking. Otis is doing his best to fill those paw prints. You two are so natural and funny I now have a new favorite vlog to look forward to each Friday!
Love you guys, no matter how bad things have been just seeing you and hearing your banter makes everything better. Don't ever change, will miss Silver Fox but it's you that makes this channel great.
Another great Vlog. Loved the photo of Colin take in 1989. You have aged very well. I don’t hear Shaun saying “ you can’t say that” as often. 😅😂🤣 For me the star of the Vlogs have always been the two of you and both Dillon and Otis. The Silver Fox is gorgeous without a doubt, but without the relationship between the two of you, it would just be another Narrowboat Vlog. You both have shared so much with us, through good and bad times, your laughter is infectious….in a good way 😊… and the research you share as well as your videography skills is what makes you so well respected and ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🐾 Thank you, looking forward to more journeys.
Hi Colin & Shaun, so happy for you both that you've sold Silver Fox, all the very best in the next chapter of your journey. Going to miss your first Silver Fox narrowboat, it is such a beauty of a boat, but it can't compare to you guys and Otis. So glad you kept the name Silver Fox...it really suits you both, can't wait to see your new home! Thank you for sharing, take really good care of yourselves, stay safe. Please give Otis a cuddle for me. 💖 Much love Kathy x
It’s a rainy day here by me so I caught this right away! Jumping ship are ya? Going to a new boat you are? Well then, when do we get to see it? Ha! Has Otis approved? You two are so funny and I am amazed at the history lessons and what fun they are! Here’s a pint and a blessing for your new narrow boat. May the sun shine on you every day, Peace and tranquillity will see you through, Share your happiness with us around the world And your mornings be filled with skies of blue! Love from Florida!
will miss Silver Fox but will be interesting to see the new boat being built. always a treat on Fri to watch you two together, along with the fur baby. love you all.
Good-bye Silver Fox, thanks for all the great memories! You were my FIRST ( discovering what a narrow boat is from land locked Idaho). 😊 May you live on without crashes
A calendar with some of your photos on it plus past info of various places you sail through would be fantastic.....or even a book. Colin you are just a mine of information that should be shared with all of us.
He fellas, you have just travelled through the nicest part of the UK canal system IMO, my stomping ground! Its beautiful and totally tranquil, mooring anywhere and your in heaven.
Hi Colin and Shaun. The new owner of Silver Fox is really lucky. It will be great to see Silver Fox too😄 Looking forward to you sharing what you’ve had created. Take care. Nick
I know it’s the people/animals not the home itself but I found myself getting emotional. When I found you guys I was in the worst place I have been in my life. The boat represented an escape, another world I could temporarily whisk away on (I would put the channel on and go to sleep hoping my dreams would take me there - somewhere wonderful instead of the dark places they had been taking me). Thanks to you guys and a few others I got thru it and am in such a good place comparatively speaking), but the boat was a large part of my ‘hanging on’. Imagining being on it and going all the places I dreamed was a huge part of my my salvation. I am totally happy & excited for you both (and Otis of course!) but it just marks another chapter. I am sorry to see it go but can’t wait to see the new boat and new adventures either. Congratulations!
My wife and I love watching all of the Silver Fox goings on. We have seen all 170 episodes along with the live talks. We do miss Dillon but Otis makes our day every time that we see him. Keep at it guys and don't ever end this wonderful journey that you are on.
@@FoxesAfloat That's great to hear. Living on the other side of the "pond" lets us only dream of doing what y'all are doing. If we were only 30 years younger - well you know...
Thank you for sharing your adventures. Colin and Shaun, you are both beautiful together, and I so enjoy your delivery of the bits of history and local lore. I'd also like to say that not only is your videography really beautiful, but the editing is top-notch. Look forward to the build!
Congratulations on the sale of Silver Fox! I can't say I'm surprised that it moved faster than a jet ski, as the lucky buyer has a "previously owned' boat that truly is in almost brand new condition. That you decided to sell and build a new boat makes complete sense to me. The experience gained from building the first Silver Fox, combined with having an experienced, enthusiastic team that seems ready to build a new boat that's even better than the first, should not only result in an awesome boat, but should also make for great (and educational at the same time!} viewing. I'm looking forward to it, When you're done, you'll be experts enough that there will be plenty of opportunities to consult others who want to custom build a narrowboat - if you want that gig! And Shaun, do try to keep it together. Colin has enough on his hands making the vlog, without you 'sabotaging' his 'innocent' dialog!
How exciting for you guys! I cannot wait for the boat build videos to begin. I must say, the two of you are looking happy and healthy. Sending an ear scratching for Ottis. Have a great weekend, xoxo's Sandie
Colin in rare form, just too funny! And Sean is completely up to it. You had me laughing until I cried 😂 and smiling all day just thinking of it. I very much look forward to the new boat.
Just think you two are a couple of nutters you really add to my day and make me much happier love watching you so much you are a lovely couple and keep up the amazing work xxx
I have only been watching a few months or so and i have watched all the old vids Watching silver fox being built and all the laughs and great times you guys had i cannot wait to see the new build. Its you 3 guys that make the show for me you could be on a log floating down the canals and i would still watch. Good luck with your new build and move and hope it goes well.
Will miss Silverfox but I strongly suspect that I will like the new Silverfox just as much. I am looking forward to seeing and learning all about your new craft and the changes that you will understandably add to your boating lives. Warm regards🌹
Just discovered your vlog this morning, and what a great hit that was. My wife and I have talked about flying to England and renting a narrow boat for must be 30 yrs…I am really really old…Of course I subscribed to you right away. Over the next while we will be exploring your vids. Thank you so very much for getting me all pumped up about the possibility of that adventure. You two are fascinating guys, much respect for you
Colin and Shaun are the best comedy couple on UA-cam. Colin is a wealth of knowledge about the canals and yes he is a bit of a ham. Good luck withe the new boat.
I am not sure what I like best. I have been watching since before Silver Fox was built and enjoyed the journey through the build, but I also like the travel vlogs. You have a way of finding some really interesting facts about virtually all the areas you visit. A truly unique way of presenting the vlogs, even through the difficulty that was last year!
Well, I have to agree with you, Colin & Shaun. Narrowboat Silver Fox, is like no other, in her simplicity of Majestic Beauty, and Glory, floating on the Canals and Waterways of the Uk. But in all honesty, it is your personality, Colin & Shaun, that makes your Channel, so enjoyable to us your viewers. I'm so looking forward to your Videos of the New Boat build. Wishing you all the best in your new endeavor. Respectfully Jessiah
The source of the Avon is in Naseby - where I live just a few miles from Kilworth 😃 it’s a little fountain just across from the church behind a wall - there are no signs for it so you wouldn’t know it was there! Great vid guys all the best to you 😊
What scenery. Just beautiful. It doesn't matter what boat your on. Just as long you still do your videos. I truly enjoy them. And of course Otis! 😄 you take care!
I have been watching this channel for a few weeks now, all caught up now on all the vlogs. For 20 minutes every Friday I have a 20 minute grin. The Otis show is the greatest. Thank you both for you antics. Hi from Canada. Andrew
Ha, I've been watching you guys on Amazon prime, I build boats and also follow a chap on UA-cam who lost his wife and decided to take the narrow boat life 👌🏻
It's all very exciting!!! Can't wait to see the new boat! Hope you both have a lovely little break away! And treat yourselves to some well earned fun!!!! Always look forward to seeing your new videos!!!!
I think they will be cueing up to buy silver fox, looking forward to seeing the new boat built, into that sort of stuff,I build a lot of bikes but like building them rather than riding them,good luck on all who sales on her or him..
Exciting news about the new boat. Silver Fox (first one but not No1!) will be appreciated by the new owners I am sure. You were both on great form today. Thanks as always for the history, views and humour. Take care guys.
Hey guys love you both. If you get to Aintree Boats call in for a coffee, I have an Aquatic Store a few doors away. I hope the new boat has space for a "00" railway layout (that would be a first). If you ever get time call into Hatton's in Widnes best model railway store you will ever visit.
“ I asked the man in the fish shop…..” 🤣🤣… you two crack me up.. laugh out loud style, on a Friday night. Thank you. It doesn’t matter whether you’re on Silver Fox, Silver Fox 2 (II) (Too) (??), a van, a house, whatever…. It’s you two who we’re here for. Love the vlog, as ever! Best wishes, Chris.
The Fox is dead, Long Live the Fox! Interesting developments (hopefully Colin’s secret cupboard will be emptied out before the new owner gets a shock). Thanks for the vlog.
Otis is a superstar!!! I thought initially you were stopping boating and returning to dry land. I am sooooo relieved you're just buying a new vessel. I only discovered the channel about a month ago and I love it. I am currently working my way through your "back catalogue". The joy continues on😁
Thank you for my weekly fix!! Wonderful vlog!! I will miss Silver Fox, such an elegant boat!! I'm sure Silver Fox II will be just as beautiful and of course you three will be there to keep us amused!! I hear she is already sold!! Well done, onward and upward!! X
The vessel doesn’t matter, it’s the cast of characters that make the show! Seriously, no matter what boat your on it’s you 3 boys that make the show. It will be hard to see silver fox go but we’re also excited to see the new boat build!
Aww, thanks Marie!
uare right it's all about them
Spot on m8!
Looking forward to watching the transition to the new boat
Hi are who guys coming back to Amazon for a new series I watched the first series but can I ask you went down the Leeds to Liverpool canal but can I ask did you go past burscough and top locks you should have had that on the show
Silver Fox may be the “star” of the vlog but you boys are the heart and soul. Here’s to all the adventures yet to come! 💗
🍻
Agreed!!! If they sailed around in a rubber raft I'd watch these 3!!!!💖💖
The real star is your format. You give a little history, a little commentary, a little cruising footage mixed with puppyness and a dash of cheekiness. I live, laugh and learn here. And I've cried. Don't ever change that about this channel.
WOW Thank you ❤️
The star of the show for us, has and always be you 2 (two, too, also, the second, II, etc.) Things can be replaced, and are just that they are things. Love the vlog you always make my week. Thank you.
Love that!
Mine too. I remember when found this channel and watched it for hours on end, until I was all caught up.
I won't sully the channel with specific examples, but the madness we are seeing in our world is really affecting people negatively.

You're so right, but there is a saying we all need to hang onto. Nothing to fear but fear itself. So I no longer watch telly.
three years has gone so quickly , thank you for allowing us to share it with you including dillon and otis.thank you so much ,now to the future.
Aww, thank you! x
Aww Sean and Colin.. you'll always be the stars of the show (Otis too). I'll miss the original Silver Fox, but looking forward to seeing all 3 of you on the new Silver Fox. Big hugs to the three of you and take good care out there 😉😊

Thanks so much Dan.
You'll have to get yourself a YT site - and build up shedloads of followers/financial donators - to finance your venture, Dan! ;-D
If only Dirk, though I’m not sure I’d have the same charm and presence as these two (and Otis)! Plus, I’m single, so getting through those locks might be tricky 😂

@@FoxesAfloat this maybe a bit random but when silver fox is out of the water having work done can you still live on board?
Great vlog guys. It will be sad to see Silver Fox go to a new owner, but, see you guys every Friday is what counts. The banter, between the two of you and the affection that you show Otis is grand. Take care , stay safe and well. With regards Derek.
Thanks, Derek!
I so look forward to Friday and you lads, thank you for another lovely time. 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!
Your videos are beautifully produced and reflect a lot of hard work. Thank you.
Love it ...was I a carry on film this week love Shaun laughing! CARRY ON UP THE CANAL! xxx

The scenery keeps getting better and better, along with the photography. I had to keep ducking when the camera was going under those bridges...or straight into them. Now I've got to get back to my Justin Bieber blow up doll with the odd shaped balls. Thank you for giving us these videos every week. It is much appreciated.

That's so nice of you to say, Douglas. Thank you!
I am so happy for you! And for the person that got your old fox! I can't wait for the new content!

Thank you! x
As long as you three are still there that's all that matters. xxx
Oh we will be 🙏❤️
My favourite time on Fridays…..a nice cup of tea and the latest Foxes Afloat vlog!
Yay, thank you!
Even if I am a German coffee and beer drinker, I always prepare a nice cup of tea before watching. Cheers.
Good-bye Silver Fox, thanks for all the great memories! You were my FIRST ( discovering what a narrow boat is from land locked Idaho). 😊 May you live on without crashes
haha! Hopefully!
What a gift you both are ….. thank you for continuing to both enlighten me and cheer me up.
Wow, thank you!
A calendar with some of your photos on it plus past info of various places you sail through would be fantastic.....or even a book. Colin you are just a mine of information that should be shared with all of us.

I am sorry to see it go but can’t wait to see the new boat and new adventures either. Congratulations!
You'll hardly notice the difference 😉
Enjoy the new boat.
Tnx for the tour
Our pleasure!
Another great twenty minutes or so of chuckles boys. Sad to hear that your changing boats. Take care and keep safe.
Don't be sad! Exciting times ahead
My wife and I love watching all of the Silver Fox goings on. We have seen all 170 episodes along with the live talks. We do miss Dillon but Otis makes our day every time that we see him. Keep at it guys and don't ever end this wonderful journey that you are on.
We're not going anywhere 😛
@@FoxesAfloat That's great to hear. Living on the other side of the "pond" lets us only dream of doing what y'all are doing. If we were only 30 years younger - well you know...
We don't care what boat you're on! Just so long as it's YOU guys, happy, healthy and carrying on
Aww, cheers Jesse!
Narrowboat Silver Fox, ALSO
🙃
Really looking forward to seeing the new boat! However, you guys are why I watch.
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoy this madness xx
Thank you for sharing your adventures. Colin and Shaun, you are both beautiful together, and I so enjoy your delivery of the bits of history and local lore. I'd also like to say that not only is your videography really beautiful, but the editing is top-notch. Look forward to the build!
You're very welcome, thank you so much 🙏👍❤️
Congratulations on the sale of Silver Fox! I can't say I'm surprised that it moved faster than a jet ski, as the lucky buyer has a "previously owned' boat that truly is in almost brand new condition. That you decided to sell and build a new boat makes complete sense to me. The experience gained from building the first Silver Fox, combined with having an experienced, enthusiastic team that seems ready to build a new boat that's even better than the first, should not only result in an awesome boat, but should also make for great (and educational at the same time!} viewing. I'm looking forward to it, When you're done, you'll be experts enough that there will be plenty of opportunities to consult others who want to custom build a narrowboat - if you want that gig!
And Shaun, do try to keep it together. Colin has enough on his hands making the vlog, without you 'sabotaging' his 'innocent' dialog!
Haha! Cheers Scott.
Biked from Northampton to Kilworth last year in the spring. Brought back a lot of good memories watching your video. Thank you for the smiles 😃👍
Our pleasure!
How exciting for you guys! I cannot wait for the boat build videos to begin. I must say, the two of you are looking happy and healthy. Sending an ear scratching for Ottis.
Have a great weekend,
xoxo's Sandie
Cheers Sandie!
Colin in rare form, just too funny! And Sean is completely up to it. You had me laughing until I cried 😂 and smiling all day just thinking of it. I very much look forward to the new boat.
Cheers George!
A delightful watch, as ever: witty, eccentric, interesting - and lovely music, too. Thank you :-)
Many thanks!
I love the unique way you explain things it's no wonder you have so many subscribers, very well deserved xx
Aww, thanks so much, Pat!
Just think you two are a couple of nutters you really add to my day and make me much happier love watching you so much you are a lovely couple and keep up the amazing work xxx
I have only been watching a few months or so and i have watched all the old vids
Watching silver fox being built and all the laughs and great times you guys had i cannot wait to see the new build.
Its you 3 guys that make the show for me you could be on a log floating down the canals and i would still watch.
Good luck with your new build and move and hope it goes well.
Thanks so much!
Will miss Silverfox but I strongly suspect that I will like the new Silverfox just as much. I am looking forward to seeing and learning all about your new craft and the changes that you will understandably add to your boating lives. Warm regards🌹
Yeah, we will miss this boat too, but like all things in life, we like to improve xxx
Just discovered your vlog this morning, and what a great hit that was. My wife and I have talked about flying to England and renting a narrow boat for must be 30 yrs…I am really really old…Of course I subscribed to you right away. Over the next while we will be exploring your vids. Thank you so very much for getting me all pumped up about the possibility of that adventure. You two are fascinating guys, much respect for you
Awesome, welcome to our channel and the on-coming madness 🤣 Hope your sanity can hold up.
Lorne don’t think about it, just do it🙂👍🏼
Just do it! It’s as great as you think it will be, everyone’s friendly and happy to help. Come visit!
Colin and Shaun are the best comedy couple on UA-cam. Colin is a wealth of knowledge about the canals and yes he is a bit of a ham. Good luck withe the new boat.
Bit of a ham??? Not heard that saying before x
I am not sure what I like best. I have been watching since before Silver Fox was built and enjoyed the journey through the build, but I also like the travel vlogs. You have a way of finding some really interesting facts about virtually all the areas you visit. A truly unique way of presenting the vlogs, even through the difficulty that was last year!
WOW Thank you, Karen. Hope you continue to enjoy our future adventures xx
Well, I have to agree with you, Colin & Shaun. Narrowboat Silver Fox, is like no other, in her simplicity of Majestic Beauty, and Glory, floating on the Canals and Waterways of the Uk. But in all honesty, it is your personality, Colin & Shaun, that makes your Channel, so enjoyable to us your viewers. I'm so looking forward to your Videos of the New Boat build. Wishing you all the best in your new endeavor. Respectfully Jessiah
Thanks, Jessiah! x
The source of the Avon is in Naseby - where I live just a few miles from Kilworth 😃 it’s a little fountain just across from the church behind a wall - there are no signs for it so you wouldn’t know it was there! Great vid guys all the best to you 😊
👍👍👍👍👍
My Friday fix…thank you so much guys. All the best from Buenos Aires. Lulú de Furret
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can hardly wait to see the New Boat!! Love watching u two!!
Us too!
What scenery. Just beautiful. It doesn't matter what boat your on. Just as long you still do your videos. I truly enjoy them. And of course Otis! 😄 you take care!
Thanks so much Valerie!
Lucky person who bought Silver Fox. I’m looking forward to seeing your new boat. Many happy and healthy miles gents. ...all the best...Chris 🇨🇦
Cheers Chris!
Great news. I was worried that you were selling up and ending the journey. Looking forward to seeing the new boat!
Us too!
Who downvotes these videos? I just love you three so much. ❤️
We never aim to please everyone. We just like to pleasure ourselves. Wait, that sounds wrong 🤣
Looking forward to the next chapter, good luck guys and Otis ❤️
Thank you!!
You guys are so cute!!!!! Always puts me in a great mood. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
I have been watching this channel for a few weeks now, all caught up now on all the vlogs. For 20 minutes every Friday I have a 20 minute grin. The Otis show is the greatest. Thank you both for you antics. Hi from Canada.
Andrew
That is awesome!
Fantastic video. You guys have a great humor. Watching from the dry dusty desert of Carlsbad New Mexico. I miss water.....
Glad you enjoyed it
Ha, I've been watching you guys on Amazon prime, I build boats and also follow a chap on UA-cam who lost his wife and decided to take the narrow boat life 👌🏻
Did Sean started on the wine early today ? Love it when he gets the giggles 🤪🤣
He always giggles 🤣
@@FoxesAfloat I know but he was like a extra naughty school boy today !
Great episode ❤️
It's all very exciting!!!
Can't wait to see the new boat!
Hope you both have a lovely little break away!
And treat yourselves to some well earned fun!!!!
Always look forward to seeing your new videos!!!!
Thanks so much, Edward!
I'm sitting here at work sneaking a look... can't wait 5 more hours to see it... it is such a joy to visit with you each week...
Hope you enjoy it!
You two make such a great couple
Aww, thanks so much, Simon!
I think they will be cueing up to buy silver fox, looking forward to seeing the new boat built, into that sort of stuff,I build a lot of bikes but like building them rather than riding them,good luck on all who sales on her or him..
Thanks!
This is both sad and exciting. We will miss the original Narrowboat Silver Fox 🦊 but looking forward to the new Silver Fox.
Ah, lots of adventures to come 👍🏻🏴💙
Exciting news about the new boat. Silver Fox (first one but not No1!) will be appreciated by the new owners I am sure. You were both on great form today. Thanks as always for the history, views and humour. Take care guys.
Thanks! x
Hi Colin, Shaun and Otis, brilliant yet again. I can hardly wait to see Silver Fox’s bottom again! Thanks so much for the entertainment.
Hehe! Not long to wait 👍🏻
Good luck lads to you both regards Derek, Love your local history stuff
Thank you, Derek xx
You both look so good lately and so handsome...love from the wine country of California to both of you..!
Aww thank you, Zac 🙏❤️😘
Hey guys love you both. If you get to Aintree Boats call in for a coffee, I have an Aquatic Store a few doors away. I hope the new boat has space for a "00" railway layout (that would be a first). If you ever get time call into Hatton's in Widnes best model railway store you will ever visit.
Will do 👍👍
“ I asked the man in the fish shop…..” 🤣🤣… you two crack me up.. laugh out loud style, on a Friday night. Thank you. It doesn’t matter whether you’re on Silver Fox, Silver Fox 2 (II) (Too) (??), a van, a house, whatever…. It’s you two who we’re here for. Love the vlog, as ever! Best wishes, Chris.
Glad you enjoyed it
With all of the Silver fox videos, you can always "feel the love". Thank you. ☺
👍🏻🤣💜
I go all gooey, it’s the loving way Shaun looks at you when you are speaking …true love 💕
🤣
He does! I noticed too♥️💙👍
The Fox is dead, Long Live the Fox! Interesting developments (hopefully Colin’s secret cupboard will be emptied out before the new owner gets a shock). Thanks for the vlog.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
what exactly IS in that cupboard? chocolate? Guiness? a pie he made while in the Navy?
Loved every minute keep them coming....please
Loads more to come xxx
Otis is a superstar!!!
I thought initially you were stopping boating and returning to dry land.
I am sooooo relieved you're just buying a new vessel. I only discovered the channel about a month ago and I love it. I am currently working my way through your "back catalogue". The joy continues on😁
We're not going anywhere 😛
Thank you for my weekly fix!! Wonderful vlog!! I will miss Silver Fox, such an elegant boat!! I'm sure Silver Fox II will be just as beautiful and of course you three will be there to keep us amused!!
I hear she is already sold!! Well done, onward and upward!! X
Thanks, Jacki!
Congratulations on selling the boat lads - It'll be a bit weird if you pass 'old' Silver Fox in your new boat! :) Have a good weekend! Dave.
Cheers Dave. You too mate!
