    I admit, I was very disappointed when you moved off Silver Fox because my whole adult life revolved around the US Navy and shipyard employment after I mustered out of the USN. I've come to realize that regardless of where you are and what your lives entail, it is YOU who draws me to your channel. Your interactions with each other and the humor you bring to the channel. Bravo, well done and I hope your upcoming wedding brings you great joy.

    Everything you said is true about seizing the day and making memories. i had been with my husband Keith for 38 years. We had a wonderful life together, Life was never dull. We lived in the US for ten years, swam with whales in the Pacific Ocean, climbed a volcano and loved each other to the end. Keith lost his life to COVID four years ago and now I am alone. But my memories of the love we had and our life together keep me going as I am now completly alone and disabled. Go out and live, make memories and love each other.

    I don't understand why anyone would quit watching your channel just because you're no longer on a boat. There's so much more than just the boat. It was a lovely boat, don't get me wrong, but you two perfect madmen have become so much more than the path you got to this point traversing. Your adventures on Silver Fox was my introduction to canal boating as a way of life. I've discovered all the lovely people who vlog about that life, and am greatly envious that it's something I can't have over here in the US. Oh, I could buy a houseboat and live on a lake, or have a boat that could cruse up and down rivers, or even just some little boat that I could take on a trailer all over to go fishing. But the British canal system is something I can't experience here. In a way, I feel cheated, but in another way I'm so glad I can experience everything vicariously through yours' and everyone else's vlogs. If it weren't for you two, I'd never have known about any of this. I've been subscribed and been a patreon for so long now I can't imagine not ever being here for whatever you both want to share. You're fun to know, even at this remote distance. Thank you. --Dan

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  Před měsícem +4

    I was following Martin Zero when, in one of his videos, he visited you and narrowboat Silverfox. That's how I found out about you. I thought you were two cool guys and started watching your videos from the very first one and I was sold. As you say, it is not so much what the video is about as it is listening to you. I was a bit disappointed at first when you left Silverfox, but it would not stop me from continuing watching your videos. I could never write anything bad about you or your projects, because everything you do is interesting and funny to watch. Keep up the great works guys!!!

    While your narrow boat channel was interesting, I feel your channel now, has a more rounded feel. There is lots of variety as you settle into a new life, you show many facets of living in the highlands and on a croft. I feel we, as viewers of your life, learn a little more about you as presenters and the interesting things you are capable of doing. For instance, being a chef, or a radio presenter, and skills in building and constructing and editing. I enjoy your channel now a bit better than your narrow boat channel. Keep it up !!

I’ve lived from the borders to the Orkneys, now living in Northern Ireland. But my heart is in the highlands. Enjoy life, keep doing what you are doing, live in the moment.

    It’s not just luck or coincidence that has made you successful. You work together as a team, you support each other, and you have the courage to take risks when moving onto a new aspect of your life. It has truly been a pleasure to watch you through, the longboat journey and onto the Croft. It is so impressive that you knew nothing about bees and wound up becoming an expert in a short period of time. I do not post things on social media, so I have never been subjected to trolls and I cannot imagine how that must feel. But then I look at the number of followers you have and the comments I see written on your postings, surely you must realize that there were thousands looking forward to seeing your next posting. I have never seen you post anything that was unkind or untrue. I hope you continue to move forward living your lives exactly the way you want to. Very few people actually do that.

    I found your canal five years ago when a friend and I were thinking of renting a canal boat. And what made me continue to follow you are three things: Your personal chemistry, your humor with lots of innuendo and such professional filming with, among other things, drones. My favorite episode is when Colin addressed his mental issues, it was the best thing I've seen on CZcams! Also, I think Shaun always has nice sweaters, maybe because we're the same age! 😀As always, greetings from Sweden!❤👍

    I think I have said this before, but I watch the channel because of you two. It is your personalities, and interaction, and obvious love, that make the channel addictive. The “content” is the frosting on the cake. Two very special people! ❤❤

    I would watch the two of you read the ingredients off the back of a shampoo bottle, you are both so charmingly funny. Loved you on your boat, love you both off the boat as well. Keep doing what you love as long as you love it and I will keep watching. ❤

    I started watching your channel for the UK narrowboat content; I continued watching because of your repartee and entertainment; I became a fan when I recognized your intelligence, sense of humor, and living with intent. I watch because of you.

    I found your channel in 2020, in the midst of lockdown, went back and watched all your vlogs and thoroughly enjoy all your work and that which you share with us. I love to see what each week brings. I enjoyed the 'history' style of your canal vlogs and I still watch, because, well, I like you. You're both genuine and funny and an example of positive perseverance, Thank-you. The world needs more like you.

    Hi guys, I have been with you from the early boating days (not a boater) just enjoyed your company and all the diversity of your channel. Just being yourselves is more than good enough to keep me interested in how you are getting on with the crofting. Keep doing what you do please.

    Since the day your channel randomly popped up on my screen.
    I have learned so much about narrow boats.
    For the first time I got to know a gay couple.
    I found someone who discussed mental health issues in a way no one has ever done.
    The uploads of your new chapter in life are just amazing I mean ffs I went out and bought a bag of lemons and oranges to try making marmalade now!!
    Gentleman I am confident I am not alone in saying you are an amazing couple and sharing your life with us really is sincerely appreciated!!!!

    I will admit to having been concerned when you left Narrowboat Silver Fox. I had no direction in mind of where you were heading, but soon found that very element....the uncertainty.... to be even more interesting. I can still get my boating life fix from others, but I follow your channel even more since the change of lifestyle! Always interesting, and I've learned a few things along the way as well! Well done, and all the best ahead!

    I've been watching you guys for 4 or 5 years and you have always made me laugh. I really enjoy your narrow boat travel and now I really enjoy the high land videos. My mother was born in Glasgow and her father was a Scottish Rifle serviceman in WW1. Thank you for great videos and for making me laugh.

    I have watched other narrow boaters and been ultimately bored. But you two were just fun to watch and be with. Love what you are doing now and hope that the train barn comes together. Just the thoughts of a little old lady in Michigan, USA.

    I guess there were many vlogs that you enjoyed making, but the one that stood out to me was the episode made on the Churnet Valley Railway. The enthusiasm you had was so obvious, like a child in a sweet shop!🚂

  • @denisenoble4010
    @denisenoble4010 Před měsícem +2

    That was great, it made me laugh in all the right places and in a few that were seen as typos and tongue twisters, I've followed all the way through, not right from the beginning, but because of been on a couple of narrow boat holidays your channel caught my eye. I've been present ever since. You make me laugh and cry along the way and I hope you will be happy doing what ever tickles your fancy ,take care guys xx till next week 😊

  • @catherine3902
    @catherine3902 Před měsícem +2

    What a brilliant q and a vlog 😊. You're both doing just fine. And you're right in saying go out and make memories. Try not to turn down any opportunity that arises. Try to remember that, even when plans don't go quite as you imagined, life goes on and other things are always around the corner. At 65, I've learnt that too. Happy living gentlemen 😊
    So glad you mentioned Lancaster Canal. Had our boat on there 1983 to 1986. Happy memories 😊

  • @johncutler5978
    @johncutler5978 Před měsícem +1

    I just watched your video where you answered questions. The scariest moment was when someone came aboard Silver Fox in the middle of the night and tried to steal your stuff. The “chase” was both scary and hilarious. The most informative video was when Colin walked along a beautiful trail and was able to describe what happens when even a “high functioning” person with autism begins to feel overwhelmed and out of control. I wish I had seen that when you first recorded it. My late husband had Asperger’s, but he was never able to articulate how he felt or why he did certain things. After he died, I watched your video and then I could understand him. That video should be viewed every time a diagnosis of autism is made; it would help the family to cope better. Thank you for sharing such a personal message. (Ellen from Texas)

    I just love watching you guys. 😊 You bring 'normality' back in your channel. I can't be bothered with so many channels because their content just doesn't make it. I suppose because I'm ADHD/Autistic, I can relate to so much, because you always have interesting content that captures my mind. Keep up the great work, I and so many others love this content. 😊😊
