Dear Colin and Shaun,
Life is full of adventure, embrace the change, life is wonderful. The best to you and dear Otis.
I can't wait for your next chapter,
Love Granny Vicki from Logan Utah
Thank you so much, lovely Vicki 💜
About a week ago someone set up a tent in my back garden. Since then, coffee, tea and toilet paper have been used up much faster and the shower often looks wet. Sometimes I hear someone laughing, but I don't see anyone - except for the dog, who now stands in front of my door every morning and, by looking intensely, asks for a sausage for breakfast.
LOL! Love it 🤣
So, you were sitting in a field in front of a stone wall talking about what you were going to do soon (without giving the goods away), and I still happily watched the whole thing. You're right Shaun, I am stuck with you for good!
It's going to be an amazing few weeks 👍🏻
I live in the Caribbean and have followed all your vlogs…and introduced some others to you. We all love them. I have always wanted to have a narrowboat adventure while visiting so that’s on my bucket list for when travel becomes easier. What I have noticed is how much more Shaun speaks these days. It’s wonderful. Also love your cooking vlogs too. Stay safe and see you next week.
Thanks so much! 💜
I'll bet the secret cupboard contents took up one of those three packing containers alone! This is so exciting, I'm so looking forward to the next vlogs. Can't wait! All my best from Canada's West Coast! 💜
(More than one) 😏
I just adore you three 💛 Looking forward to this next chapter of adventures in my names sake origin 💛
Love that!
I think you are up in my part of the woods … 🏴🏴🏴 would be great 👍 xx
I love to watch you every Friday, on or off the water. You always makes me smile 🙂 and relax. At first, I followed your videos, because of the boating and the amazing fantastic scenery, you are really good with your camera. Now, it feels like you are old friends, that I enjoy seeing on Fridays and share a laugh with. I still like the water ways and your history lessons, but I'm happy as long as you show up, the three of you.🥰
Aww, thanks so much, Elisabeth! It's going to be an amazing few weeks 👍🏻
Oooh, good news that you will be continuing to delight us with news and adventures. It isn’t the end of the world after all.
You're gonna have to put up with this madness FOREVER! 🤣🤣
Leaving us all in suspense - can't wait to see the fill in adventure. Am hoping its the Scottish waterways that you can't get to from down south! So much to explore. Foxes Akilt.
It's definitely gonna be exciting xx
That would be so so so what I'd love watching. Scotland is in my heart. 🏴🏴🏴
Scottish canals are a lot quieter.
I live in Kirkintilloch, right beside the Forth and Clyde canal, very rare to see anyone on the water tbh.
A bridge needs lifted if anyone goes under, and can't remember the last time it moved lol
Scotland still has flats/homes cheaper than buying a boat unlike down south
@@johnnycarrotheid a wee flat somewhere in the Highlands would be a dream come true (midges and all 😂). I really hope the foxes are on their way north. I have friends in Scotland ... would bs nice to be closer (in miles).
My guess is far to the west. 🇨🇮
I'm on the spectrum, and it made _me_ anxious about you leaving NB Silver Fox! Glad to know you're going to keep the vlogs coming; much love to you, Colin, Shaun, & Otis!
Thank you 💜
I understand about not liking change, I always initially hate the idea and feel quite anxious, but given time I start to get used to it and am ok again, as long as there is no more changes for a long time! sad to say goodbye to the boat, but looking forward to what comes next. Best wishes
Got to look forward because that's the direction we're going 😉 💜
FOXES ADRIFT!..🙂..YOU'LL SURVIVE ..CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR NEW ADVENTURES FELLAS..VERY BEST WISHES 👌
It's gonna be awesome xx
@@FoxesAfloat YES 👍..GUYS..U ASSUME THAT YOUR AMAZING CREATIVE SKILLS WILL BE FULLY EMPLOYED 👌..
YOU 3 REALLY BRING A WONDERFUL PACKAGE OF HUMOUR..HISTORY..EDUCATION..COMEDY AND WARMTH..CARRY ON CARRYING ON..🙂
To Colin, Shaun & Otis. I wish you all the best in this next chapter of your life. I like you Colin find change extremely difficult. 20 years ago, I made a move from a 3,696 sq ft house to a 576 sq ft cottage. It's is quite amazing what you can collect and never really realize that you can live without. I, just this year got rid of boxes, that I brought with me 20 years ago and had never opened. Well enough said on that subject. Thanks again for sharing your lives with us. I for one, am looking forward to what you have in store for us. Respectfully Jessiah❣
We all collect too much stuff xxxx
Don’t know where you’re going but I’ll be coming with you on your vlogs. Love to you all ❤️🐾
You're very welcome to join us ❤️❤️❤️
Also your fans are amazing!! Such a positive fanbase!! I can't wait to bump in to you guys somewhere in the world one day👏
Aww, cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You guys are great story tellers, make me smile all the time 😁
I feel the same way. Such a great a couple.
If you're smiling, we're smiling xx
Can’t wait for the next chapter of your saga! Looking forward to your continuing vlogs. Remember to please pet Otis for us and throw a ball for him since he now has room to run!
Just given Otis a big fuss for you ❤️🐾🐾
I will never get tired of your vlogs! I can’t wait to see what happens next….
Me too😁
Awwww thank you so much. ❤️😘
It's weird you arn't on Silver Fox..I miss your boat, it was almost like one of the characters in a play..love you both ***and Otis too XOXOX
Aww, thank you! x
Goodbye Silver Fox. It was you who lead me down the rabbit hole of going all the way back to the beginning and seeing you built that made me fall in love with those two, loveable, twerps who hung out on you up until now.
Can't wait to see the new build when it begins and your adventures between now and then gentlemen
It';s going to be awesome xx
God Bless you both and Otis’s, stay well and keep us all going with more interesting vlogs🇬🇧🙏👍🏻🤡🤼♀️🐥🐥🎺🏆🥣
We're never going to stop, you're gonna have to put up with us forever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can’t wait to see your new boat, I’m sad to see silver fox has gone but onwards and upwards boys hope your both and Otis is alright keep us updated 🙈
It's going to be an amazing few weeks 👍🏻
You cheeky boys ! Leaving us on a cliff hanger ! Lol excited for the next vlog! Have a great weekend guys and fellow subscribers. ! Love you guys and Otis of course xx
Thank you, Mandy. you have a fab weekend too xxx
Homeless in Scotland, we could make a movie out of that title. I bet you are going to delight us with a series of great vlogs on the scottish canals.
🤔
I remember moving last time selling the house and that gap in-between sold and the 150mile drive to Devon to the new, 3 hours homeless I have never clung onto a 7and a half tonner truck steering wheel down the M5 like that before!!! Great channel big Likes xx
Haha! White knuckle ride!
Midges = Scotland 🤔
Looking forward to the surprise. 👏👏👍😀
😛
Ottis's face at the end says it all..the look of bewilderment. I hope the room service is better in the tent. Looking forward to your vlogging adventures in the up coming weeks 😀.Hope you have fun and vist plenty more Star bucks 😀 around the U.K or world. Fun times ahead stay safe.
Thanks, Rachel!
I’m looking for an next adventure. I can’t even guess. I’d love to see the canals of Ireland 🇮🇪. My dad’s family came from Ireland. My mom’s family came from England. Maybe that’s why I enjoy your travel log so much but I suspect it is because you guys are so entertaining and loveable. 😊.
The Irish canals are said to be beautiful xx
Yeah I guessed Scotland as well only because we stayed in a hotel like that , Unbeknown to me Mart told them Id used all the toilet rolls up I got a phone call from reception asking me to come down ,I shot down like a rocket passing Mart on the stairs shouting reception called it might be bad news ..like you do ..only to be met by a smerking lad who said your husband said you used all the toilet rolls and handed me a bag with about 20 toilet rolls in it, I ran back up the stairs hoping I would meet him on the way so I could smack him on the back of his head with them.. Good luck lads can't wait to see the new living quarters xx ☺
LOL! Brilliant!
I can't wait .. new chapter and new memories in the making.. with you all the way ❣️
Absolutely xx
15:52
Scotland sign on the motorway.
Well spotted lol
Mentioned Midges as well which was a big clue lol.
😉
I even got emotional when you left the Silver Fox!😢 But I am so excited for you both on this different chapter of your life that you share with me! !! Big hugs to you both from me!! Stay strong guys and a hug to Otis! ✌🏻
Aww, thanks, Mark!
Even though I am heterosexual I love you guys and so does my partner Maureen. We are both more or less retired, other than the odd minor acting roles in films and TV (give us a nod if Amazon need some acting support for your next venture!!) so discovering you two on CZcams is a go to entertainment when we have the time. Vertualy every Friday, or rather Thursday because of my membership status with you. You are great guys providing interesting and educational vlogs and lonh may you do so. Hugs from Maureen and I.
Aww, thanks guys!
Every vlog is getting jollier. Can’t wait till the next vlog and see the new environment. You both look like a great pressure is gone. Enjoy the new adventure.
It's going to be an amazing few weeks 👍🏻
Caledonian Canal? What ever it is, I'm here 4:00 Fridays. Otis deserves all the attention he's a beauty. Thanks for keeping us entertained.
It's gonna be exciting xx
I've guessed where you both are, was it you who was helping rich and fran on the locks ( floating our boat ). Keep the videos coming as your both helping me keep cheerful after my accident in May. You pair rich and fran are really helping me recover and are keeping my spirits up x
Ahhhhh, no that wasn't us xx
Hope you're recovering well ❤️
Good luck, Nathan.
Great! good to see that you have exciting plans ahead, don't worry about the midges, they will soon disappear! Can't wait for next weeks exciting episode!
it is exciting xx
I don't care what you do. I will be watching and you guys have some fun... love you xx
Aww, thanks, Michael!
Congrats on selling the boat! Can't wait to see your new adventures!! So exciting!! 😃
Thanks so much!!
I will miss the boat, but look forward to your continuing adventures.....
It's going to be an exciting few months ahead 👍🏻
Joining a cruise ship…entertaining travellers with talks and videos? Or making a tv prog cruising European inland waterways? Filming a voyage round the British Isles??
Oooooh all would be good xx
Hi guys, hope you're both well, love all your videos, I guess you're in Scotland, recognised some of the the roads, I think the big surprise is doing the Scottish canals on a boat but what ever it is looking forward to seeing it, thanks Alistair.
It's gonna be awesome xx
I'm emotional right now too! Why am I so sad that Silver Fox is gone? I am sure the new boat will be exciting but still. The new adventures will be even more exciting I'm sure. Here's looking forward to sharing them with you both. Otis too❤
It's going to be great x
Best wishes guys. One door closes. In the castle of life. And. I’m guessing you are near a castle. Besties from Melbourne Australia.
Thanks, Alistair 👍🏻
As a regular viewer and crew member this vlog was you two riffing about the past and future, and I found I really funny. But if I'd have just been random CZcams skimming I'd have thought it was two escaped, (I think the correct terminology is), bewildered blokes in a park rambling about a boat they once had, and one they were, at some undisclosed point in the future, going to get and a character, called Otis! I've not been so highly entertained for 16 minutes 15 seconds, since Morecombe and Wise finished. Thank you so much.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you, Set ❤️
You just have a good cry Colin, like they say it's good for the soul. There's nothing wrong with it an it shows your depth of feeling. Most people today are afraid of a good bawling cry. Yeah, I'll do it at the drop of a hat. You two are the very best. My husband and I enjoy your wonderful show. All the very best to you both. Big hugs. Take Care....
You're right, absolutely nothing wrong in showing feelings xxx
@@FoxesAfloat love you both, take care...
I've enjoyed your content from the first day that YT recommended it to me. Thanks for bringing us all along on your adventure with class and grace. I for one am looking forward to you sharing your new adventures. Thank-you
Awwww thank you so much and thank you for sticking with this madness 😘❤️❤️🐾
Congratulations on the new adventure, and Otis is such a pretty boy!
and he know it 🤣
I'm looking forward the the Falkirk Wheel video.
Is there a Falkirk Wheel video? 🤔
Ah ha.....gotcha. .. I spy the A9 to Inverness in the closing credits .....enjoy your stay in Scotland boys!
Hmmm...? 🤔
You two guys are brilliant. With you all the way and look forward to your next adventure. Best of luck !
Thanks, Arthur! Loved your records btw 😉
Every time I watch one of your vlogs it just brightens my day. I love the bantering humor so much. Thanks for bringing a little sunshine, regardless of the weather, into so many lives.
You are so welcome!
I don't know what you guys do for a living other than the VLOG but I have to tell you that you should start doing standup comedy. My wife and I darn near hurt ourselves laughing each week as we watch your VLOG.
So glad you're enjoying this madness, Dave xxx
I think your in Scotland 😁 can't wait to find out and see what you are up too ! Good luck with the next part of your adventure ❤️
Thanks, Carol!
''there's a section of our fans who would love that and a section that would unsubscribe immediately''
I don't think I laughed so hard in a while hahahahahah!!!!!
Wishing you all the best during your backyard/boat squatting adventures! Take good care of yourselves (and Otis too, obviously)
hehe! Thanks!
I like the Foxes in a bath idea
Maybe an OnlyFans vlog 😛
We recognise that road and know where you are going. We are in that part of the country. Enjoy 😀😀
😉
What ever you do wherever you go your CZcams family will be behind you happy adventures x
Aww, thank you! x
I, for one, would like to see the building process of the new boat. Not everything, but keeping up with the progress. Good luck, I'll be watching.
That will happen xx
Hi Colin, Shaun and Otis, thanks for the update and looking forward to the next phase. Keith & Helen
Cheers guys!
Good luck to all three. Fridays are saved.
Nice one. Thanks, Rod!
Oh! Scottish canals! That would be so great to see👍👍. I hope we can see some of the boat building journey too. Will the builders allow some filming, I think that would be very interesting. Thanks for being such great guys and sharing your lives with us in CZcams land😍
Hope so!
I love you both! Just another chapter. My partner and I are celebrating 30 years together. People always ask what is reason for our success, I always say "you take the good with the bad, and then think how your life would be with out your partner". I would miss him. Thankfully we have a good financial plan in place.
Absolutely xx
You two always put a smile on my face. And how nice to hear you get emotional and actually cry when leaving , how nice! Good luck to you guys!
Thanks!
Welcome to Scotland! That's the River Tay and Craigvinean Forest in the end credits.
And then farther up the A9 just north of Aviemore.
@@highlandmistress monster hunting??😲
Oh, yes, you can't mistake the A9, just after the road goes over the railway bridge across the river from Dunkeld House. 13:14 looks like the A66, and they pass the 'Welcome to Scotland' sign at Gretna.
Hmmmm...? 🤔
So enjoy your fun. I am excited to share the new v-log subjects. I send prayers for the best of health and wealth for both of you and Otis. You
Thanks so much Timothy!
You both looking amazingly happy. Im a cryer of change too. It was hard watching you turn those lights out…tears…Im excited to watch your new adventure…Im sure Otis will have his paws full keeping you both safe and loved. Cheers from across the big waters! 🙏💕✨
Onwards and upwards ❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on the sell. I know things are very strange now. But it will be fine. You have each other for the next chapter of life. Just remember we all here are just excited to see the new narrow boat. Love you guys and take care.
Thank you so much xxx
Good luck guys in your new venture. ☺️
Thank you!! 😁
Just can't wait til next week already.
I've been been going through a rough old time if it of late and have gone back throught your vlogs from the beginning again and they've honestly helped me through. Thanks lads. Have been a fan from the beginning and I genuinely appreciate your efforts, positivity and honesty.
Silver Fox will be missed but I'm sure that she was the launch pad for bigger things for you.
Got to keep looking forward, Alan. That's the way we're all going 👍🏻💜
I look forward to the new adventure. Hope you new boat doesn't take overly long though. Have a Blessed day.
Thanks, Margaret!
Otis in this trio is the straight man to you two crazy fellows :D
Looking forward to new adventures!
🤣
Very interested to find out who bought Silver Fox and what the new adventures will be. You had me tearing up again about leaving Silver Fox. I'm not good with change either---evidently not even someone else's change. Silver Fox was like a person in the story so she will be missed. ❤
Awww, thanks Dorothy!
Hi Guys.
A great "intermission" vlog.
I watched this waiting for the Optometry Slit Lamp to be ready at my local hospital ☺️👍
I hope it was okay?
Yes thanks. 👍
End of an era, and the start of an even better one! Love you guys(and Otis)!
Thanks!
Wow what a culture shock for you. Think I would have cried myself. I have cried every time I get a new car and I leave the other behind. Look forward to seeing next week. Thanks for the cheer up you two are great for that. Please stay safe and take care
It's gonna be awesome xx
Really looking forward to the surprise and keep safe wherever you are.
Thank you, Ann. You too ❤️
I'd scotch any rumours of where you are spending the fall. As Kirk would say you are boldly going where no man has gone before.
Funny you should say that. Scotty appears in a future vlog 👍🏻🤣
This is so exciting! Can’t wait. Give Ottis a big hug. Be good to each other. Bye from Canada 🇨🇦
On this side of the pond (USA) I heard in the 'news' the Queen now is the proud owner of Silver Fox and had asked everyone to stop whatever they are doing at 4PM Fridays so everyone can watch your videos. She also asked you change the name of your channel to "Hauling Otis'.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a nice back garden, but how sad to say goodbye to the Silver Fox. Hug to Otis.
Thanks Mark!
You sold Silver Fox!!!
I am happy for you guys. You’re off to a new adventure. I probably will never get a chance to visit England so I thank you for sharing😍looking forward to seeing new places and learning new things.
Susan
Lots of great boating adventures on the way 👍🏻
oh Colin and Shaun, i knew it was going to be emotional , i said some time back that Silver Fox Dillon, Otis and your selves are a package , it is something we have all been following for so long but times do change and we have to go with the flow, but when you said you had a cry well that set me off too.
But dear boys you are off on a new adventure and we are all with you.
love and warm hugs , Queensland Australia.
Got to keep looking forward because that's the way we're all going! 💜
Excited to be part of your next adventure, your enthusiasm and excitement shines through, keep smiling you three xxx
Thanks, Susan! It's going to be an amazing few weeks 👍🏻😉
You are unbelievably entertaining. We are all riveted and holding our breath to find out What Happens Next!!!
Might not have to wait too much longer!
I had that feeling too this morning leaving our boat in overwater sad 😢 and missing hers lots already as we drove home from a week on her to Chester and back, I did get to meet Gary phillips though which was great made my day on chugs.enjoy your new venture I won’t spoil it by saying on here lol 😂 I know it’s brilliant just can’t wait to see it thanks 🙏 again guys xx
😉
I've had a really difficult month MH wise and I've come back onto YT now I'm feeling better and catching up with your journey now. Absolutely adore the two of you, it's so nice watching and listening to you. Onto 175 now!
Glad you're feeling better, Sam. Stay strong 💪❤️🙏🐾
Great news, and wishing the three of you the very best of luck gentlemen, please stay warm & safe.
Thanks, John!
I don't give a tinkers damn where you are next week I will be watching~! you guys rock, over here in the US of A we love you guys ....
Nice one. Cheers Mitch!
Whatever floats your boat for the intermission adventure. Maybe you could do Foxes in Bath. Instead of just floating in a bath.
Haha! Never say never 😉
Great to see you both so upbeat and positive, I feel like I’m feeling sad at leaving Silver Fox on your behalf! Change like that leaves me in bits for ages. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!
It's gonna be awesome xxxx
The next chapter sounds amazing, I can’t wait. Good luck to all 3 of you. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Thank you! x
Love it when a man can cry, shows you have a heart ❤️
💜
Recognised the motorway in the latter part of the vlog. Been up and down it enough times myself. Think I know where you will be next week. Will just have to wait and see.
Might not have to wait that long 😉
Hello. I’m a new follower. Discovered you about 2 weeks ago. So I started with Vlog 1 and watched all the way through. What a journey. I’ll keep this short, but just wanted to thank you for sharing your adventures. I have laughed, cried, been educated in British history, seen gorgeous views and so much more. I can’t wait to see the next adventures! 😍
WOW! That is some binge watching 😳
Welcome to our channel, so glad you’re enjoying what we do 🙏❤️
I'm so excited!!!! Whatever happens, I'm here for the long haul... Stay safe boys 😊💙💙💙
You're the best!
I’m looking forward to the bath adventure. I’m excited for the new adventures boys. You guys bring so much joy.
Yay! Thank you!
Another great vlog.
I can't wait to watch your next adventure. 😊
Colin, I have to send you a personal thankyou. After watching episodes 9 and feeling like you were talking about me. I have since sought therapy and I do indeed have aspergers. I can finally put a name to what I have been living with. The therapy is very helpful. Again thankyou from the bottom of my heart. ❤
And as if by coincidence. I too am temporarily homeless. If I wasn't working full time I'd embark on an adventure too.
All the best to the both of you.
Glad you have answers xxxx
The very best of everything to you three as you begin your new adventure!
It's going to be an amazing few weeks 👍🏻
Whatever adventures are coming, if you 3 are involved, it will be great
It's going to be an amazing few weeks 👍🏻
