How to Survive Lockdown as a Narrowboat Liveaboard! Ep. 97

How easy is it to survive lockdown as a narrowboat liveaboard? Actually, it's pretty easy! We make an essential journey for water, fuel, and to empty the boat of a mountain of trash.
As our only opportunity of moving for a while, we take advantage and record our journey from Radford Semele, just outside Royal Leamington Spa, to Long Itchington (not a made-up name!).
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

The best antidote to lockdown is Shaun’s laughter. Stay safe please Foxes. X

You too lovely 💜

The containment is less hard when I watch this vlog full of humor, protect yourself and stay safe

Thanks, John. Laughter is good for you 😂 xx

I like the "unneeded information" it adds charm and history to the UK for me.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Glad you appreciated it 💜👍🏻

I don't believe there is truly useless information! Share away!

[@nigelreeder4805]

Hi guys have watched your channel all day. Having lost my son 3 weeks ago I have been in a dark place recently, but you have really made my day spending the day on your boat with you guys and watching the beauty and tranquility of the canal... many thanks

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hi, Nigel. I'm really sorry to hear that. So sad xxxx Thank you for messaging us and I hope you hold the strength to get through this. Sending loads of love! xx

[@vickyking3408]

With living on my own and not being able to see friends through the virus ,you two calm me and make me feel better thanks

Shauns laugh 😂😂 gets me every time! As a late comer to the channel, was good to see you did ok at the start of lockdown and kept smiling and recording. ☺️

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks 👍

[@borikkiv]

Now every time I see you smile I will be thinking of Wallace and Gromit! I know it will drive me mad! Curse you! :)

Great episode, I really enjoy Colin’s mini history lessons. I’m so glad you two are being very careful about exposure to others. Good luck!

Thanks, Jay. Only essential travel. We've only moved about 6 miles in 5 weeks now. Take care! 💜

[@tangatoto362]

Even far away in Australia, we’re “all in the same boat” for once, your isolation is pretty bucolic (no, that’s not a disease or a vegetable)😎

It definitely sounds dodgy 😂 Stay safe! 💜

[@MrStuFew]

Shaun's laugh is so infectious, I've just been in tears of laughter from those outtakes. Thank you for lifting me up from an otherwise rough day!

You are so welcome

You guys are so generous with your time. You're the first KZbinrs who've give a return like and even a comment or two. That is just so nice of you. I love the information/history you give too. It's 8/7/20 and here in the states we're still in a real crisis with the virus. So I mostly am quarantined for health. That's how I found you just watching tons of KZbin. Up you popped. And I just love you boys so much, except when you go in that mile half tunnel with iron water. Lol! I was terrified for you. ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧❤️❤️

[@FoxesAfloat]

Ah, it's only right that we read and reply to every comment on here, after all, you took the time to write it to us 👍🏻💜 Stay safe!

[@ceeceety2320]

They truly are the best! My wife started watching narrowboat channels and came upon these two and now it's what we watch in the morning before I leave for work. Very calming and always a laugh or two! We really appreciate these guys. Btw, we are in the US too. We live in Illinois about 15 mins. across the Mississippi river from downtown St. Louis, Missouri. I've been lucky enough to keep working through this pandemic. Stay safe!

Glad you enjoyed it! Take care, Thomas 😛

[@thagemizer]

Colin! Please don't ever change! I love the tidbits of information about the bridges and places and sights along the way. And you make it quite witty with your little comments! BTW, I loved the model train sets! I had a few when I was young also (HO scale), and I still love to see a model train show, or even a KZbin video of a nice layout!

[@FoxesAfloat]

There's plenty of videos on KZbin. I daren't watch them because I start planning how to set something up on the boat 😂

[@leilee203]

Sean’s laugh is like the best in the world.🥰 And the English history bits and nuggets are so wonderful. Your channel is easily my favorite on KZbin.❤️

Thank you! 😃

You two are priceless! Great history lessons, Colin. Shaun’s laughter makes everything better.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe! 💜

Great timing! felt quite down this evening, I think its all been building up and today I had to have a few words with a couple who decided to join the queue to get into the local Aldi less than 2 feet behind me! I think that was the last straw for me as when I got home and put the shopping away sadness just swept over me. Then I saw your vlog and just like the magic that you are, I felt better. You are a tonic thank you, take care, be safe and keep vlogging please xx

[@FoxesAfloat]

Aww, sorry to hear that. Some people are just idiots 👊🏻 Watch the outtake from Vlog 39. That'll cheer you up. Take care 😛

Outstanding video guys! Nice to see you are having some decent weather. We woke up to several inches of snow this morning. Must have felt good to move today, essential of course. We have the same travel restrictions here in NY, but on days like this it's ok. I plan "special time" for myself with fresh brewed coffee to watch your videos on Fridays and then again on Saturday to watch a second time. Thank you for them. They are most welcome in trying times. Travel safe. Remain well and strong. A pat on the head for Dillon and hugs to you both. K

Wow! I wish we'd had some snow this last winter. Still time I guess! Take care 💜

Colin, please don't ever think your "useless" knowledge is boring. I happen to find it--all of it--to be quite fascinating and, seriously, one of the best aspects of your channel.

[@jeremykamel9655]

Those moments when you talk about love of trains and your past train sets is personal and cool. No need to stop. It personalizes the channel. That’s why we watch aside from actual narrow boating.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks, Jeremy 👍🏻

[@jimatherton8731]

Brilliant, the photography/ videography are just ACE, coupled with the facts and humor bring me back every time. THANKS! :-)

Thanks so much! Take care 💙

[@angelliwanag6574]

You're both so much fun to watch and to listen to the repartee between both of you. Such a pleasant discovery for me of your channel while I'm sheltering in place here in Los Angeles. Your channel is the third one I've subscribed to of narrowboaters and all three of you bring such a different and refreshing style. I look forward to watching all the previous episodes.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Welcome aboard! 💜

[@simonfall2817]

As kids on narrow boat holidays, my older brother (by 10.5 months), and I would go ahead an prep the locks so that our parents and a lifelong friend (Ian) could navigate with a bit more speed. However, my brother (Jonathan) let go of the sluice handle and had not set the keep. The handle hit him in the forehead and subsequently knocked him out cold. Ian and my father took turns, whilst running, carrying unconscious Jonathan about a mile to the nearest road, where they hitched lift to hospital. We tied up in Stratford upon Avon for a day or two whilst Jonathan had a short spell in hospital. I think we were about 11 or 12. Great Times

[@FoxesAfloat]

Jeez. What a story! x

[@wales-whatsinaname]

The sound of Sean cackling will get us through this mess , yet another great Vlog , be safe guys

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hehe! He gets me through life 😛

[@grahamwestgate1192]

Another masterpiece! Now remember Colin, if you fancy a go with my train set, ( and, no, that’s not a euphemism) once this plague is over, and your down this way, give us a shout, and I’m sure I could arrange you a footplate ride! 🚂 Our train set is quite big, bit over 14 miles long, and our biggest loco is about 150 tonnes! Plus, while you’re playin train drivers, Shaun and Dillon can have a ride in the back, and some of our delicious cake. 🍰 Offers there if you fancy it. Stay safe and stay well.

[@voodoo2882]

very cool

[@FoxesAfloat]

Yeah, definitely! 👍🏻

[@grahamwestgate1192]

Foxes Afloat - always welcome guys! If your over this way again, give us a shout, if I see you coming close enough that I could come and pick you up, I’ll message. I’m reasonably good at judging where you are, and I CAN keep Schtum, despite evidence to the contrary!🤭🙃

You gentlemen should visit Rosco Village here in Ohio, after this lock down crap is over and it is safe to travel again. They have a great horse drawn canal boat. It is like stepping back into the 1830's. The village is just outside of Coshocton, Ohio. We also have many ruins of canal locks.
