Otis is growing, I can tell! He's just a pup so he loves his sleep, of course. I love how you commentate along the way, Colin, and share the history of the UK and the sites. You're really good at it, mate! You are a beautiful person, you are. Remember that, will ya? In downer moments, remember that you are giving tens of thousands of us a wonderful view of your unique life filled with adventure, beautify, and love for Sean and Otis. In downer moments, please think, if you can remember, to count your many blessings, Colin. Name each of them one by one including Sean, Otis, your beautiful boat, your amazing country, and all your fans who love you. Yes, Colin, you are loved by hundreds, maybe even more! Thank God or Cosmic Consciousness however you may be comfortable and accepting with all that and feel peaceful remembering all the wonderous good things that are in you as a person. Most of all, don't waste a moment or be hurtful to yourself by judging and condemning yourself for your weakness, follies, or shortcomings. That is complete bollocks, mate. We're all flawed, foolish, and fall short of perfection. It's in the design of life. So, go easy on yourself, Colin. Many of us out here love you just the way you are! If you're in that group, show Colin by giving this comment a thumbs up, if you read this. Not for me, but for Colin!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Aww, thanks, David. That's so kind! Has anyone ever mentioned that if you say your name really fast it sounds like David Hasselhoff? 😂

Stunningly informative vlog, the care and attention to detail really shines through here, a tv show would spend weeks making this kind of quality content, and you manage to do it on a weekly basis with a dinette as your studio, it's incredibly inspiring. When you have those days that are tough for you, take the time you need and never worry about the viewers, we all put your wellbeing as the priority; and never worry about not covering part of your journey, we'll see it the next time you pass, and, if ever you feel short on footage, just point the camera at Otis and leave it running.... 'Otis Afloat', the spin-off series....

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! We'd probably get more viewers if we just left the camera on Otis 😂🥰

[@fumbleknit719]

@@FoxesAfloat Dunno, Colin; pretty sure Otis's commentary wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable as yours!

[@Lottiesat]

I honestly think that you could package up your Vlogs for a TV series. They would lap this up in the US, especially with all that gorgeous ariel footage od Britain's beautiful countryside. 'Coast' is still popular on reruns, but didn't have the same personal touch with the presenters. I see this as more entertaining than anything on TV. Keeping it real is so important right now, and Colin and Sean are so honest, it is refreshing to see. We love the whole package, with glimpses of Otis, because it reminds us that life can be very good and the whole world is not what mainstream media would have us believe, is a mess of violence and disease. My thanks go to Colin and Sean for presenting real life with all its ups and downs, but ultimately to be thankful for what we have, both now and historically, in Britain. You are a credit to the Nation, lads!

[@davidcollins9512]

Colin, I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say that I'd rather see fewer quality videos than one every week where the quality drops as your health drops. Good that you could take a week off and look after yourself rather than forcing out another video for us when your heart isn't in it. Shaun - you make sure that Colin looks after himself. Otis - keep both of them happy. Fellow viewers - keep up the great supportive comments, and give the Foxes the space they need. Another great episode - full of some great comedy references - Barbara, Norman & Beryl. All favourites from the past and my youth! Some brilliant drone footage this week too.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you so much, David. I only publish videos I'm happy with so no chance of the quality dropping too much (I hope) 👍🏻💜

Thank you for another episode of amazing views. Colin, please know that you two have invited us into being part of your lives. We have no expectations and consider every episode a gift. Someday maybe you can highlight the missing 10 miles but if not, we will not sweat the small stuff. You have already given so much. I am surprised you guys have been on the river for so long. It has certainly been busy. Here in the US, we are finding things busier in our surroundings because of the limited employment that is going on and weekends have been twice as busy.

Early the next morning we let our pooch out for her ablutions and she squeezed through the railing into the palace grounds and of course wouldn’t come back. Luckily she had done all her jobs before she snuck through. One of the gardeners brought her back to us with a smile and was reticent in giving her back to us. Guys, having a day, a week, a fortnight or a month off is something all your followers understand.

Tha amphibious yellow vehicle is probably a DUKW (or duck). These were used by the military (American I think but not sure) during World War II. Then, when they had no further military use, they became a tourist attraction. I remember going on them as a kid in holiday in Southport!

[@DaveButler2000]

It was a DUKW that sank in the salthouse dock (called a Wacker Quacker in Liverpool)after the engine went on fire. The one that Colin has filmed looks like a new build as the original DUKW’s only had four wheels. One also sank in the Thames if memory serves.

@@DaveButler2000 Interesting. I don't remember how many wheels the ones had in Southport. I was a kid at the time. I seem to remember that they were painted red.

[@DaveButler2000]

Ruth Pepperman I would put money on it that the DUKW you have seen in Southport would be an original. As a child Southport and Formby was a day out having come from Liverpool. The cockerels used the DUKW’s to get out onto the sands in safety and if caught out by the tides could use the DUKW to get back to the dunes at Formby. Jersey has one to get out to Elizabeth Castle when the tide is in.

[@pilpelet100]

What a stunning part of the world Windsor and the rest of the areas around river the Thames is. So much history too. As soon as I saw those white house boat things near Hampton Court Palace (are they house boats?) I knew where you were. I was working away from Yorkshire for a couple of weeks and I passed over the bridge in the background and then followed the river for a bit and I remembered those white houses/boats. When I was driving home I didn't even know I was near the palace so, as an history enthusiast and as a lover all things Tudor, I was giddy as hell when I saw it. I could just imaging Wolsey on his barge on his way to Westminster Palace worrying about how he was going to get Henry his divorce. Anyway, star of the show was Otis of course. He's such a cutie. Really look forward to these episodes but totally appreciate that you needed a break. Also, it's aboout you enjoying yourselves and it's hard to do that and film everything as well.

I just love watching your Vlogs. It really makes my day. It’s a time to chill and just forget about everything else and I love seeing Otis. Thankyou so much.

Aww, thanks, Donalee! 👍🏻💜

Greetings from Woodstock, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada. Enjoy your Vlogs with the running commentary. You might enjoy a vlog from Canada - Cruising the Rideau Canal, Kingston to Ottawa - joining the Ottawa River by a series of 8 locks at the side of the Canadian Parliament Buildings. Get the vlog with KZbin. Shake Otis' paw for me - cute little guy !!!!!! Keep the vlogs coming, they are great. Cheerio ! Wayne Johnson

I look forward to watching your videos every week. Lots of interesting facts and good fun from the pair of you and not forgetting Otis, who seems to be settling in to a life on the rivers and canals. He is so cute and its nice to see him growing up. Take care and catch you again next week. Geoff

Editing quality, music and content is spot on, you remind me of a Saturday night tv double act, great viewing 👏

[@FoxesAfloat]

Wow, thank you!

[@BrassLock]

2:37 So glad you caught up with Max Headroom, he's a real character, getting rather weathered these days, but with lots of boating stories to tell . . .

[@FoxesAfloat]

Re: the Sydney Camm memorial statue of the Hurricane jet fighter thingie... The Spitfire and Hurricane were the two RAF fighter aircraft generally credited with winning the Battle of Britain for the good guys i.e our lot in 1940 , Sydney Camm being the designer of the piston engined Hurricane , the RAF's first 8gun monoplane fighter , hence the statue

Another great vlog, intrigued by next week's teaser! NEVER apologize for taking off for mental health breaks Colin! We'll all be here when the time is right for you. Give Otis a hug for us all Shaun.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Oh, Scott. It's worth waiting for! 👍🏻

[@andrelachapelle6750]

Thank you great video.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks, Andre!

[@Rheilffordd]

I have watched all your videos from the start.... THIS has been the best so far with the spectacular aerial shots and the choice of music. Very professional production values better than any television standard, well done!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you so much!

[@lairdbufflehead]

Another great episode. Loved the drone footage over the Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle. Didn’t think the DJI geo-fencing would allow you fly there, so that was nice surprise.

[@FoxesAfloat]

I stayed about 200 metres away from the exclusion zone 👍🏻

[@lairdbufflehead]

@@FoxesAfloat Also must apologize for my poor grammar. Guess I need to read twice before sending. 🤦🏻‍♂️ And another thing........I just started watching your Amazon Prime series as well. 👍🏻

[@robinowen3058]

A little bit of peace for me today as we watch wildfire burn all around us while we keep things as wet as we can. Thank you so much for the distraction while we wait.....

[@FoxesAfloat]

Stay safe! 💜

[@classic-fan6177]

Love the drone footage of Windsor Castle, had no idea it was so vast! Your videos are superb, I'm almost up to date with you now!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Nice one. Thanks!

[@curtbonnell4308]

Those folks are so lucky to have homes right on the water, Must be great having a cuppa (or something stronger) on the deck and watch all the boats go by.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Yeah 👍🏻

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

How the other half live!!! Some of those bathtubs on the water are worth 10times my home. Those homes worth over 100times. 😱👋🏻

[@Drobium77]

You two would be great show hosts for TV, you've just got that wonderful enthusiasm and likability :-) Just make sure, with this new project, you don't over do it and make too much work for yourselves ay? I think I can speak for all your fans in saying that we all love what you are doing already, and we want our pals to do well :-)

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you 👍🏻💜

[@lucaenglishteacher4059]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video 🙏🏻😍. You made my evening as I necked a fine bottle of chilled Chablis 🥂🤣😬
