    I often wonder why people who are offended by content just don't move on and find something that doesn't offend them. No one is making you watch.
    I started watching because I have a young nephew with autism and was interested in Colin's journey. The photography and life on the canal hooked me. Your life together and the love you have for each other keeps me here. Know that you are loved by your true audience and more than happy to go on this Scotish adventure with you.

    "If people are determined to be offended - if they will climb up on the ladder, balancing it precariously on their own toilet cistern to be upset by what they see through the neighbour's bathroom window - there is nothing you can do about that." ~ Christopher Hitchens.
    Stay true to yourselves. The trolls can’t do anything about that.

I love the way you talk about mental health and this is so helpful to many people. As far as those who call you or insult you I can only feel sorry for them, they must have very unhappy lives.

    Please accept my apologies for a second more reflective comment.
    Every parent reaches the stage where they think: "What if my child(ren) is/are gay?
    I concluded that I hoped my children formed a stable loving relationship and that it would matter not one jot whether it was straight, gay, bi, trans or any other combination. What matters is the quality of the relationship.
    Sean and Colin, you have a true loving relationship where you respect and support each other. What a wonderful thing.
    I suspect that the trolls don't have this. I mean where is the love and compassion?
    You do what you want to do. People don't own you because you are on CZcams, they don't even know you!

    First you two are a solid, decent and caring people and it shows. This was an important video for you to make because it highlights the troll problem. I have a political vlog and of course I expect to get those that disagree with my views that's to be expected. The problem is some people think if they disagree with your views or your lifestyle that gives them the right to abuse you. We all try to ignore these people at first but some just don't take the hint. I'm glad that you two called the Police, nasty trolls need to know there are consequences for their actions. Keep doing what you're doing boys because at the end of the day the only ones you need to please are yourselves. Big smooches to you two and Otis the wonder dog! 💕

Cause their ignorant behinds don't have anything better to do. You have a life, they don't, and they can't take seeing someone else happy. Keep doing what you're doing, you two are a hoot to watch. I've learned about canals which we don't have here where I live, and through your eyes, I've learned a lot about Scotland, and I thank you. Guys, you are appreciated.

    I don’t usually read all the comments, but I am horrified at what you have been subjected to, the lack of humanity and empathy, the malice and so on. I started watching your channel because of my curiosity about narrow boat living
I fancied giving it a go, but was unsure whether I could survive the winters. I’ve decided against that lifestyle for me but continue to watch because I found you both to be such good fun, knowledgeable and educational, plus I fell in love with Dylan. Please don’t give these awful people and comments any headspace. I’m glad you took decisive action against the ones you mentioned. Keep doing what you’re doing, keep talking about your mental health and above all, keep smiling 😊 â€ïžđŸ˜Š

    It's hard to believe in this modern world that people are still so narrow minded or that they find it acceptable to make such comments, it's a form of bullying and we all know that bullying has zero tolerance.
    Guess I was taught old school manners because I've always practiced if you can't find anything good or positive to say then don't say anything at all.
    As much as I loved your original living on a narrow boat and exploring the canals lifestyle i did wonder what living in Scotland on land would bring to the channel đŸ€” well!?. I personally absolutely love the channel and it's content , the breathtaking scenery of Scotland and the continued informative information about whatever you are covering, together with the madness that I've come to love about Foxes Afloat đŸ˜‚đŸ€ŁđŸ˜ because it's your unique presentation skill and style together with your personalities that make the channel as unique as both of you.
    Thanks for letting us share your life's experiences as the Scotland adventure unfolds each week it's a privilege.

It’s like a 25 minute vacation every day. Now we want to retire to Scotland, buy a narrow boat, and open/close locks all day. This should go without saying, but you both bring joy to so many people. Keep doing what you do!

    I have followed your channel for about the last two years, initially it was because that being from Texas I had never heard of narrow boats. So I had used the key word narrow boat and several youtube channels popped up. Yours was the most interesting because of the history lessons from all over England and no monotone narrations of your travels. That my friend is what I miss about you guys leaving the boat. But such is life, you move on.

    I see two lovely fellas, obviously loving each other dearly, sharing there lives with me, I see honesty, integrity, humour. I see good, I see when it doesn't go so well, shit happens, you embrace and carry on.
