I don't know why KZbin recommended this today but this is pure gold 👍😁

[@FoxesAfloat]

Aww cheers!

[@lorrainerichardson3280]

Colin, ignore the wannabe's, you are out there putting the vlogs together and giving so many people a glimpse of what life was like before and what it is now. Thank you so much for the work you do, I know it's your passion but hey you let us share which is totally appreciated. It's going to be 28d here in NZ today so off out in the garden before it's too hot. Take care both of you =-)

[@FoxesAfloat]

Oooh, drink plenty!

[@carrielemmon1549]

Engineering, history, and humour, all in one lesson with Otis as Superintendent. Well done! Have a grand week. We'll be here

Thank you, Carrie xxx

Otis has turned into a fine looking dog . I love the way he sits there just taking in all the sites. Another good one guys. Thank you both

[@FoxesAfloat]

He loves to sit and watch the world go by xx

As ever - entertaining and informative... but I have to admit Otis stole the show... love his hand shakes...

Aaah, my favorite two guys! I’ve been binge watching from Kentucky and I can tell you, you’re English accent threw me for a loop in the first few videos. Then it dawned on me that y’all were speaking correct English, not me! Lol, I love you guys and thank you every day for taking my partner and I along on every adventure. After a few surgeries I’m walking again with a cane so I wanted you guys to know that you’ve been more helpful to me than any physical therapist! Best wishes and thank you both.

I've really missed you Colin and Shaun and Otis. finally i get to see some quality youtubers doing what you do best. Great Vlogging and historic tales plus lots of your sidesplitting funniness. it's great to see you guys again. much love to you xXx chris

[@eskimojulie]

@@FoxesAfloat I see you have removed the comment that was under mine , I am hetro and i wont say i was offended (It takes a lot) but more surprised that there are still people in this day and age that will come to a platform like this and show their ignorance to the extent of saying you need to be censored when all they have to do is go and watch something else . keep up the good work us others enjoy it :-)

[@markwringe2826]

Guys, there's one more canal for you to do in Scotland - but you'll have to do it by train! The Paisley Canal line was built as a canal, then in the 1880s the Glasgow & Southwestern Railway converted it into a railway. The route closed entirely in the 1980s, but in a slightly truncated form was subsequently reopened, and even eventually electrified. "Trains!" (But no boats).

[@FoxesAfloat]

Never say never! 👍🏻

[@junestephens1079]

Otis sits beside you so calmly, taking in the sights. I am very much enjoying the views of Scotland along with you🤩. Great fun!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mrsnichols1965]

[@carolley9705]

I live vicariously thru your boating adventures. They're brilliant! The church, (or kirk as they're called in Scotland) is one of the most eye catching that I've seen. Otis was his usual dignified self. When the lock keeper came to the boat and ignored Otis, he just quietly lifted a paw as if to say, greet me too, don't ignore me. Always so polite. Loved your humorous history bits Colin. Thanks for taking us along, Carol, Jim, and Jax (our dog).

[@FoxesAfloat]

He does that a lot 😂

[@katoi-]

4pm Friday is honestly my favourite time of the week. Hope you three enjoy making these as much as we do watching them! Have a very happy weekend.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks! Same to you 👍🏻💙

[@vickidevries2103]

I haven't been sending you response to all the wonderful Scottish travels you're doing , I've loved every minute of the adventure. Lately I've had that darn dark cloud hovering over me so have not given you both thanks as I should have, those moments have cheered me up. Carry on with the fun and exciting adventure, Granny from Logan Utah (Formally So. California,I do miss my home)

[@FoxesAfloat]

Glad we have been able to cheer you up, Vicki. Hope the darkness is lifting. Big hugs xxx

Colin you are such an amazing person. You take the time to look up all the History of your surroundings to make your videos so interesting. I have a husband and son that have aspergers and they look forward to watching you every week. Thank you for being you. Shaun and Otis are very special too. Have a wonderful week.

If someone cooks breakfast for me I would never dream of complaining, and can't imagine telling someone else what they ought to be eating. Now I need one day to be snuggled up next to the narrowboat's coal stove and eating one of Shaun's breakfasts. What a beautiful vlog, informative and funny. Love you guys. So nice seeing Otis making you happy too.

[@FoxesAfloat]

👍🏻

[@carolinebutcher8160]

Loved the beautiful scenery.......the shots of the boat straight after the last lock of the day could have been viewed either way up.....the reflection was perfect. You're right, the scenery is just gorgeous. Otis has such a gorgeous look.....there are times when he looks quite imperious, and others where he's just yummy. He's so at home on boats. Loved the archive shots. Brilliant as always.
