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? 😂
I can only repeat the comments that have come before me. Great footage ; professionally put together. Lots of fun for us viewers with our cup of coffee, sitting back and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing your journey. It is so relaxing and exciting at the same time. Carry on Lads !
Absolutely loved this vlog !!! The drone shots were amazing. Thank you for being so informative. The balanced chemistry between you two is nice to watch as well as fun to laugh with you both. We really enjoy you guys and will be watching your future adventures.
Outstanding video guys, some real money being spent in Liverpool.The boat looks great in the sunlight awesome drone footage along with the music.Nice to see pretty much graffiti free surroundings.Enjoy your upcoming canal adventures.
That was excellent seeing my hometown so professionally displayed and great angles too, a very poignant moment there where you framed the sailing ship, schooner "Zebu", she was shipwrecked and destroyed at Anglesey last month so a nice memory of her documented there, well-done fellas.
Thanks for taking me back 'ome! I was born in Liverpool and left in 1965 for Sydney, Australia. I have been back 4 times since then, but I have to admit I never tire of Liverpool. 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.
Orrrible memories as Shaun will attest to as a seafarer; @2:15 collingwood dock appears, home of my sea survival training...testicularly cold in January 🥶 but super memories of my Polytechnic days back in ‘85 in the Albert Basin. ...keep on chugging 👍
As a Southerner living up in Liverpool, the town centre is, as the Sousers say “Amazing”. Truly the 20+ years I have lived up here and have a narrowboat on the L to L canal so know the area and cannot talk highly enough of Liverpool City. Really enjoying your vlogs, nice one👍
Very well put together video and audio lads , and as a Liverpudlian its great to see the city shed in a good light for a change and to see the parts of Liverpool that some of us haven't , had not idea that the Stanley flight existed until today . keep up the fab work gents .
My wife and i have watched every vlog up to this one. Very inpressed with them all, very informative, funy and well edited. Looking forward to watching the rest. Good luck on your travels.
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
The Royal Albert Dock and Salthouse Dock have become the first English marina to receive a Blue Flag award for water quality. Well done to the Canal and River Trust for all there hard work
My daughter spent 4 happy years studying in Liverpool and we used to enjoy visiting the city. I have seen the canal near the museum several times but I didn't think the tunnels were tall enough to navigate.Looks like a fantastic way to arrive at a great city. Enjoy yourselves!
Ok I am sold, gonna have to visit Liverpool now. I can't get over how pretty it looked, though that might be your cinematography! You always get the best shots!! Always look forward to your Vlogs. Keep enjoying life! X
Man you guys nailed it!! GREAT video!!! Love the shadow wave! Soooo much to see and the filming is some of the best I've seen!!!! Music works well too!!! NAILED IT!!!!!!
Hi guys,it's a well thought out awesome route,with loads of running commentary ,of all the land marks ,your so informative ,l would like to see This lovely area,lovely music
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. Interestingly I thought of you this morning, I was looking through old pictures- a couple of years ago I stayed in s holiday cottage at a house called Fox Hall- the door knocker was a silver fox! Ha
In my hometown thank you for the great positive review and lovely footage just sorry I missed you as we live just off the canal in Litherland.....maybe next time!
That Liverpool canal link is the best one yet! It is a lovely trip along there and under those clean tunnels. Salt house dock is a great place. I loved that whole trip.
Terrific vlog, thank you. NBSF looks magnificent on the water (as we knew she would!) and Liverpool looks worth a visit.... So happy to see you cruising and looking forward to many more vids.
Been to Liverpool so many times on vacation and wandered around the docks and seen the canals by the museum. Always wondered if the water came from the Mersey, never knew about the canals.. Now I know better.. Thank you.
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. I will, with your permission of course, continue to live however vicariously through YOUR adventures... Cheers from Canada, hard by Georgian Bay, Ontario...
What an incredible display of eclectic architectural designs and raw beauty. You guys knocked it out of the park on this one. I really do appreciate the two of you sharing your adventures with me and thousands of others. I can sit here in my office and watch your dreams unfold before my eyes. It is truly inspiring. Dreams are mandatory aren't they, and in my case no matter how old you are.
What a great vlog! Silver Fox looks absolutely stunning - especially those shots with blue sky & the Liver Building in the background. It's many years since I visited Albert Dock, so I really enjoyed seeing all the new development there .... and it all looks so clean! Looks like you are both loving life aboard - can't wait for the next vlog 😊👍
Silver Fox is looking so modern and new with its striking red stern accent, a brilliant boat from every angle. And what a beautiful video, so well produced with lots of time and effort in every shot. You lads are also becoming accomplished drone pilots. Thank you and I’m looking forward to many more videos to come.
WOW!!! Small word, massive meaning. What a professional vlog that was. Brilliant. Well done guys. Enjoy the Lancaster. I had a yoghurt pot on there, right outside our static caravan, near Garstang. Such wonderful memories. These were the days when the Lancaster was not connected to the network. Glasson dock, a must visit. Anyway, enjoy.
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!
Thank you. A wonderful trip though the Liverpool approaches. I was amazed to spot hundreds of small swimming jellyfish (moon jellyfish) in Canning Dock. A fascinating sight just caught by a strong sun.
Geat good looking boat you have there, sirs, and nice people you are, indeed. Btw such a great scenery, the boat in the lock and the yellow train passing the bridge.
Great video. I loved the photography and the music was spot on. You both seem to be settling in nicely. We also got a glimpse of Dillon! I love it there but I’ve only ever driven. It’s a fabulous city. Thanks as always for a fantastic video.
Foxes Afloat In fact it’s so good I’m watching it again and probably again! As the boat heads into Albert Dock it feels like Shaun is doing the Ooo Ooo Ooos standing at the stern on the tiller 😁 I’m sure it sounds like his smooth tones! You really did a great job and the drone footage it just amazing. Liverpool and 60s rock, well you can’t go wrong. Thanks again.
Really great vlog guys. So professional. You make it look so easy and we know how much hard work goes into these videos. Liverpool looks amazing, we can't wait to go there Fran and Rich xx
Ooh I loved everything about that Vlog. SF looks amazing. You did my home city proud! The drone footage was sooo professional. So pleased you’re enjoying this journey, I look forward to much more 😊
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 !
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.
Back in the 20th century my uncle was the chairman of a shipping line, based in Liverpool and Birkenhead docks. He had his office in the Liver Building. That was when the docks and warehouses were still doing what they were built for!
Great vlog guys. Silver Fox looks even more amazing cruising, hopefuly get to see it in all its glory one day, shame your not at Crick with it next week . Said it a while back in an earlier vlog that i'd be frightened to take her out. Brave guys your coping well. Keep up the good work chaps
Gosh, she just looks sooooooo lovely in the water, and I know it’s not the right term but I love her beak! Beautiful footage and wow, yeah, what a clean tunnel! I hope the kid who fell (jumped?!) into the water is okay!
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
Hi from Australia.Great video guys. Just came across your channel and had to subscribe. Loved the camera work with the drone and in particular the clarity. Keep them coming.
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.
Only one word “WOW” . What a start for you guys & Silver Fox. Starting out in big ship style, well done, brilliant footage with great drone shots. Looking forward to your further cruising adventures. Cheers 🍺🍺
Awesome first video diary of silverfox. It’s been surreal seeing it from start to finish. And now I’m watching ur first narrowboat video. Binge watching continues 😊
Brilliant video with so much information. Who knew that there was such a great way to travel through Liverpool 😀 Looking forward to your future travels x
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.
That's lovely. Thank you! We can't wait to go back there at some point.
I totally agree!
I was brought up in Liverpool so nice to see it again
You are both so charming, watching your videos always leaves me feeling so cheerful.
Awww, thanks, Janet. Have a lovely weekend! Lots of rain here so taking a chill day 👍🏻
I enjoy watching. The drone footage adds much. What a beautiful lifestyle.
Thank you! 👍🏻
I have no idea how I stumbled on this channel, but glad I did! Greetings from Tennessee!

Soft eh? 😂
Not soft at all! Amazing story! I bet you can't wait xxx
Oh yes! 😁 after a long winter on our ‘holiday’ boat, we are so excited. Feel like a 6 year old on Christmas Eve. haha
I can only repeat the comments that have come before me. Great footage ; professionally put together.

Thanks, Paul! I'm still learning how to get the best from the drone, so hopefully that will improve. Thanks for a lovely comment :) x
Outstanding video guys, some real money being spent in Liverpool.The boat looks great in the sunlight awesome drone footage along with the music.Nice to see pretty much graffiti free surroundings.Enjoy your upcoming canal adventures.
Cheers Brian, Liverpool was awesome and is a lovely clean city. Thank you for your lovely comments x
Love the drone shots. Really helps to see everything.
Thanks, Andy! x
She’s a beauty that sleek Sliver Fox! She glides through the water as if she is queen of the waterways.
100% 👍🏻
Great vlog, chaps. I was smiling throughout - you both look so happy! x
We had a fantastic time! 😎
That was excellent seeing my hometown so professionally displayed and great angles too, a very poignant moment there where you framed the sailing ship, schooner "Zebu", she was shipwrecked and destroyed at Anglesey last month so a nice memory of her documented there, well-done fellas.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love a person who winks like you do, Colin, at the start of your blog! It is such a tease.
😉
What brilliant informative tips and advice you both give, and may I add to the gratitude you pay to those who give there time on this epic adventure
Thanks, Alistair. 💜
One of the best, most professional vlogs I’ve ever watched guys, top work!
Awww, come here for a cuddle! That's the nicest thing someone has said to me today. Thank you, Andrew! x

Awwww, George! Yeah, it needs some development but they're working on it by the looks of it. Glad it brought back memories :) x

Yeah, I can imagine the docks being icy cold. We were there in May and it was still chilly with blue skies!
You should be paid by the Liverpool tourist board for that video! Stunning x
I won't hold my breath though, LOL 😂 It was a fantastic couple of nights. Definitely going back.
Awesome video guys, lovely, so interesting & informative!!!!
Thanks so much!
You guys come across really well, could be a TV show out there who knows?
Ha ha, apart from the obvious one, Crimewatch, I'm, not sure which 😂 xx
You guys do a great job bringing us on your adventure.
Thank you! 👍🏻 Really glad you enjoy it 👋🏻

Fabulous buildings coming into Liverpool what a great sight and Silver Fox looks bootiful shining in the sun. Great vlog boys.
It really is a fantastic way to come into Liverpool. Highly recommended! Yeah, she dazzled the docks 😎 Cheers, David x
Gorgeous boat guys. Awesome vid, loved the aerial shots, camera work and music. You really nailed this one. Congrats Silver Fox!
Really appreciate your comments David, Thank you xx
Very well put together video and audio lads , and as a Liverpudlian its great to see the city shed in a good light for a change and to see the parts of Liverpool that some of us haven't , had not idea that the Stanley flight existed until today .
keep up the fab work gents .
Cheers for a lovely comment! We had a fab time! x
My wife and i have watched every vlog up to this one. Very inpressed with them all, very informative, funy and well edited. Looking forward to watching the rest. Good luck on your travels.
Awesome! Thank you!
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
Wow! That must have been an amazing sight! You must have been really emotional that day? 💜
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.

Aww, nice one! I cycled Leeds to Liverpool and back on the canal in 2009. I did it in 22 hours. Best of luck!
The Royal Albert Dock and Salthouse Dock have become the first English marina to receive a Blue Flag award for water quality. Well done to the Canal and River Trust for all there hard work
Go have a look at it today 😬
My daughter spent 4 happy years studying in Liverpool and we used to enjoy visiting the city. I have seen the canal near the museum several times but I didn't think the tunnels were tall enough to navigate.Looks like a fantastic way to arrive at a great city. Enjoy yourselves!

It's really a nice place! Haha! Thanks :) x
Just stunning photography. Looks like an amazing trip!
Thanks, Nicholas. Yeah, it was ace! 👍🏻
Congrats from Down Under (where women glow and men thunder). Really professionally done and a fascinating look at Liverpool.
Thank you! Glad you liked it 👍🏻
Completely new view of Liverpool! Totally different seeing Albert Dock from the water! Thanks for a great vlog!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent first trip....really enjoyed it. Kind regards from Canada
Thank you! xx
loving the cinematography & editing, its looking really professional. well done guys , enjoy!!!!!
Thanks, Mick. I'm still learning! x
Been at the Albert dock in 2011 when on holiday, love the video. Very interesting.
Very cool!
And so the journey begins. Brilliant 😎
And what a start! Exceeded my expectations. Next stop the Lancaster! x
Man you guys nailed it!! GREAT video!!! Love the shadow wave! Soooo much to see and the filming is some of the best I've seen!!!! Music works well too!!! NAILED IT!!!!!!
Thank you, Meg! Glad you enjoyed it :) x
Hi guys,it's a well thought out awesome route,with loads of running commentary ,of all the land marks ,your so informative ,l would like to see
This lovely area,lovely music
That’s not a boat. That’s a work of art. Truly stunning boat, really loving the vlogs.
Thank you so much!
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.
Interestingly I thought of you this morning, I was looking through old pictures- a couple of years ago I stayed in s holiday cottage at a house called Fox Hall- the door knocker was a silver fox! Ha
Boaters 👍🏻 You were right first time. We're not heading towards Manchester yet but I'm sure we will soon.
In my hometown thank you for the great positive review and lovely footage just sorry I missed you as we live just off the canal in Litherland.....maybe next time!
I’m sure we’ll be back 💜
That Liverpool canal link is the best one yet! It is a lovely trip along there and under those clean tunnels. Salt house dock is a great place. I loved that whole trip.
Us too. Been back recently 👍🏻
Terrific vlog, thank you. NBSF looks magnificent on the water (as we knew she would!) and Liverpool looks worth a visit.... So happy to see you cruising and looking forward to many more vids.

Thanks for a lovely comment. It means a lot 😊 xx
Really great to see Liverpool again and with the history chat. The boat looks gorgeous. Thank you , well done !

Thank you so much! x
What a beautiful blog! You guys are real pros. And so much fun!
all-round excellent - entertaining, informative and some great shots. Makes me wanna go, well done

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.

Yeah, Dillon is settling in nicely. Faster than I did! I agree, the docks must have been buzzing back in the day! x
Great travel guide for the 'pool, plus seeing it from a different perspective, a super start to your adventure, thanks boys ❤👍
Thanks, Bob! 👍🏻
Thank you. A wonderful trip though the Liverpool approaches. I was amazed to spot hundreds of small swimming jellyfish (moon jellyfish) in Canning Dock. A fascinating sight just caught by a strong sun.
Hi, John. Yeah, there were thousands of them in the dock. x
Geat good looking boat you have there, sirs, and nice people you are, indeed. Btw such a great scenery, the boat in the lock and the yellow train passing the bridge.
Thanks! Yeah, I was waiting for a train to pass! ha ha... 😂 xx
Looking forward to following your travels gentlemen. Superb start.
Thank you for your lovely comments Malcolm. It means a lot x
Great video. I loved the photography and the music was spot on. You both seem to be settling in nicely. We also got a glimpse of Dillon! I love it there but I’ve only ever driven. It’s a fabulous city. Thanks as always for a fantastic video.
Hey, Sylvia 👋 Thank you so much. A bit of 60's rock suited it I thought 😉 Dillon will be in the next vid a bit more xxxxx
Foxes Afloat In fact it’s so good I’m watching it again and probably again! As the boat heads into Albert Dock it feels like Shaun is doing the Ooo Ooo Ooos standing at the stern on the tiller 😁 I’m sure it sounds like his smooth tones! You really did a great job and the drone footage it just amazing. Liverpool and 60s rock, well you can’t go wrong. Thanks again.
Great Stuff!!! I love Liverpool! GO REDS. Y.N.W.A. ALL the best boys on your travels, hope you get many sunny days like that last one.
So do we! Thank you ☀️ xx
Really great vlog guys. So professional. You make it look so easy and we know how much hard work goes into these videos. Liverpool looks amazing, we can't wait to go there
Fran and Rich xx
Hey hey 👋🏻
Thank you! Yeah, we found Liverpool to be lovely. Make sure to have cameras ready for the link! See you next weekend! xxx
Quality all the way... SO impressed! Congratulations, Colin and Sean.
Thanks, Julie! xxx
Sweet the two narrowboats together and I don't think I've seen a lock under a bridge before. That was amazing.
Glad you liked it, Susan x
Ooh I loved everything about that Vlog. SF looks amazing. You did my home city proud! The drone footage was sooo professional. So pleased you’re enjoying this journey, I look forward to much more 😊

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 !
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.
Thanks, Philip. We will DEFINITELY be back one day 👍🏻
Back in the 20th century my uncle was the chairman of a shipping line, based in Liverpool and Birkenhead docks. He had his office in the Liver Building. That was when the docks and warehouses were still doing what they were built for!
WOW. I bet that’s going back a fair while x
Now that was super, GREAT drone footage as you moved up the locks, jealous of you guys. Happy cruising, BRAVO ZULU
Cheers Greg
Great vlog guys. Silver Fox looks even more amazing cruising, hopefuly get to see it in all its glory one day, shame your not at Crick with it next week . Said it a while back in an earlier vlog that i'd be frightened to take her out. Brave guys your coping well. Keep up the good work chaps
Hey, Kevin 👋🏻
She’s already had bumps and scrapes but that’s what happens. Sandpaper and paint clean up the scratches 👍🏻
Oh no !!!! your braver than i thought, id be crying if she was mine. Hope to see you guys at Crick i need to shake your hands,
We’ll be there, so please do say hello off you see us x
Thanks for showing the northern canals 👍
Even HBO thinks north of the wall is the better place lol 😂
Haha! I love the north! x
Great Vlog Guys . Look forward too many more.
Thanks, Andy! x
Gosh, she just looks sooooooo lovely in the water, and I know it’s not the right term but I love her beak! Beautiful footage and wow, yeah, what a clean tunnel! I hope the kid who fell (jumped?!) into the water is okay!
Yeah, he had schizophrenia and had been taking drugs early. He had hypothermia but I believe he was okay. 💜
@@FoxesAfloat Yikes!! I hope he is getting help
Always a pleasure watching you two, hope to catch you passing me in Scarisbrick and I'll make you a cuppa :)
Hey Steven! 👋 We've passed Scarisbrick twice now. I think we'll be back past there later this summer 😎 xx
@@FoxesAfloat ... Well your always welcome to stop and have a brew with boaters on the Scarisbrick bank :)
@@FlashGormless We'll bring cake! x
@@FoxesAfloat ... ooooooh now your talking!! hahaha :)
Never realised how many docks were in Liverpool! It’s amazing. What a great vlog. Thank you. So great to see you on Narrowboat Silver Fox! xx
Thanks, Sue! Yeah, there are loads of docks and acres upon acres of land that needs developing. Great location though! x
Nicely done. Really beautiful shots of the NB Silverfox gliding through Liverpool.
Many thanks!
@@FoxesAfloat thanks goes to you both for revealing a whole new and beautiful world with these outstanding videos.
SF looks wonderful on the water, thank you for posting.
No! Thank YOU for watching and supporting us every week xxxxxxxxxx
wonderful to see my old city from a different perspective x:)
Thank you Stephanie x
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
We had a great time, it was lovely. Definitely going back soon. Thank you for commenting. Always nice to hear your thoughts. xxx
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
Hi from Australia.Great video guys. Just came across your channel and had to subscribe. Loved the camera work with the drone and in particular the clarity. Keep them coming.

Cruising the cut & Journey with Jono now have some competition in the 'video, audio & editing' quality department! Lovin' Your Work!
Praise indeed. Thank you! x
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.
-26...!?!?! Jeez! 🥶
Have a warm, cozy Christmas, Beth! 💜
Only one word “WOW” . What a start for you guys & Silver Fox. Starting out in big ship style, well done, brilliant footage with great drone shots. Looking forward to your further cruising adventures. Cheers 🍺🍺
