    The scenes of Silver Fox in the morning sun as you leave Liverpool are so breathtaking! She's just glowing silver. The clear blue sky, the brick buildings, the silver wheel in the background all make for such a gorgeous sight. Beautifully shot. Thanks.

    Aww guys, what a great vlog and I’m so chuffed your first cruising vlog was Liverpool.
    2 years ago I was at a Company ‘Conference’ at the Titanic Hotel, bored to death at the usual corporate bull. On our breaks we sat outside and I was watching the Narrowboats emerging from the tunnel into the dock between the Titanic and Tobacco Warehouse - and it sparked the dream of finishing work and having a new boat built and doing the exact same trip.
    2 years on and I’ve stopped work, sold our house and our new boat (which has paralleled your build nearly) now has a date of 4th June for being in the water.
    Not got your video skills or talent so been living our journey vicariously via yours.
    Soft eh? 😂

The docks are certainly different now than they were in the mid-sixties! Great vlog and it certainly brought a tear to my eye. Ta very much!

    Have recently caught quite a few episodes and I am thoroughly enjoying your journey. When I was in England three years ago I only saw a few long boats in our travels. I had no idea the extent of the locks and waterways. The beauty of the aerial shots and countryside are a joy to watch. Thank you. Can't wait to visit the country again and find some of these beautiful places.

    Great Vlog ,Liverpool docks have certainly changes since I last saw them in 1967 prorto emigrating to Canada.Then they were filled with dozens of Blue Funnel , Ellerman's City line,ED's ,Furness lines ships ,Lamport and Holt's and a few Ben liners too.The sky line sure has changed a lot too,looking a lot cleaner and not so Victorian despite the good old Liver building still stretching their wings

    When I used to do narrowboating, my favourite part was going up or down a flight of locks in company of another boat. We made the best acquaintances that way, and often agreed to meet for lunch or supper at this pub or the other, and even met up later at each other's houses. I miss it.

    Leeds lad here(40) for years me and my nephews in there late 20s now have always been on bike rides down the canal, looking at the signs that tell you the distance of Leeds and Liverpool has always had us say "we'll cycle all the way one day" well the time has come and we're doing it later this month, so on that note I'm binge watching your entire series, btw my mum Diane worked on the barrier at Leeds train station years ago and she thinks she recognises you, I'm loving all your vids, thank you guys

    That was a great video! Hope you do a similar one of Manchester this made Liverpool look beautiful and great for boaters... bargees... what’s the right word? Boaters makes me think of plastic gin palaces, and bargees make me think of Breton caps and pipes with a ginger beard. Oh well.

    That was very interesting, the area is filled with so much 'recent' history. Some of my ancestors left those docks to start new lives in NZ back in the 1800's. It would have been a very different place then and now it looks amazing. Great footage and your boat looks stunning.

    Great first "underway" vlog. N/B Silver Fox is a STUNNER! Her "livery" looks ideal in any light conditions, and she SEEMS to have good seakeeping, er, canal keeping, no... ????... "moving along presence"... that has GOT to do.
    Kudos to you both for what also appears to be a fast climb up the steep incline of helm control.

    Another great vlog, I must say that Liverpool has changed since we were last there, but that was in 2001. Our daughter went to Liverpool John Moores Uni, and we went there for her graduation ceremony. We stayed in a hotel overlooking the docks, and went for a cruise around the docks, and a drive around the city landmarks, in an amphibious vehicle.
    We're preparing to move onto our boat, and we're on a waiting list for a mooring on the Trent and Mersey canal, so I guess we'll be heading to Liverpool in the not too distant future.

    This beautifully shot/edited video brought home a need to learn more about the history behind the epic Liverpool Docklands; one can only imagine what it must have been like in its heyday - teeming with sailboats, sea-going sail ships, and all those tenders scurrying about, tending to one and all. (lol) Very nicely done; and Silver Fox looked fantastico! You two looked pretty chill, too! lol Dillon was spotted, checking-out that boat next to you in the lock, and he looked pretty chill, too!

    The quality of your videos is truly amazing, especially the drone footage. A bit of very minor criticism, I personally didn't care for the music on this one, it sounded so much like what you hear on TV shows. I very much enjoy the music you have used on other videos, typically soft piano and guitar, I just don't care for the harsh guitar strumming on this one. Just my opinion, don't let it get you down. I feel privileged to see all your videos and please keep them coming. WELL DONE GUY"S and Thank You !

    • @FoxesAfloat

      Hehe! We used that music because it was reminiscent of the Beatles, who came from Liverpool. That's why it's unique to that episode 👍🏻

    Thanks guys for showing the Liverpool waterfront (known as the Pierhead) at its glorious best. I worked at the top of the Liver Building for 32 years and was able to watch the construction of the Link from on high. I will keep an eye out for your return.

    What a lovely way to see Liverpool and I'm so glad that they are renovating the canal system it will be a huge draw to Liverpool, it was lovely to see what they are doing with all the dock warehouses when they are turned into luxury flats bet they cost a fortune 😃 the drone shots were fabulous thanks for taking my on your journey

      Spencer Wilton let's hope they can find a solution for the water shortages because it looks like they can be a huge tourist attraction, some of those buildings apart from the history and the the story they they tell of Liverpool in the past are just stunning and seeing them from the canal makes it more interesting

    Here in Canada we are settling in for a long frozen winter, Im looking forward to watching all of your lovely videos while Im hiding from the cold.
    It was - 26 here the other day :/ and the bearings on my dinghy trailer seized while towing the boat home causing the tire to catch fire. Far too cold to repair the axel on the road so poor Ringhy is spending the week at a truck stop waiting to be rescued with a bigger trailer.
    Keep up the brilliant adventures guys and have a lovely Christmas.
