Guys, what can I say ! Followed the vlog from the beginning and I can see how much your holding back your emotions on this one ! I got quite choked up just watching. The boat is amazing and would be just how I’d want mine. Currently working hard to achieve that goal as well. Keep smiling, keep laughing and keep vlogging, love em.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hi Mike 👋🏻 Wow! Thank you for following our journey. You’re right, we were holding back quite a bit when we filmed that. I hope you manage to get your boat. It’s an amazing experience. 💙

Hey guys! Thank you 🙏🏻 Yeah, we were a bit choked up when we filmed it. 💙

[@Geordo1960]

You ask what I think here goes: I think the job you have done designing your boat and how it looks is beautiful! You can be very proud of what you have accomplished. You also put in a considerable amount of work into making these videos and downloading them for us to follow along in your venture. Very useful for anyone else who is contemplating on building their own their narrow boat and entertaining for those of us dreaming on owning one of these beautiful homes. The builders and contracted persons who worked with you in designing your boat and taking the time to be in and help with your videos, they certainly went above and beyond and I hope you appreciate the extra effort that they put in. They were a tribute to good old great british determination and workmanship. Thank-you for sharing and you’ve a gained a new sub. Hope you continue to post more about your adventures! Realistically I will never be able to own one of these boats as I do not live in England however dream some day of touring your country on your waterways. Such a great intimate way to see your country! Wishing you the best and many, many happy years together with your boat!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you so much! If ever you do find yourself in the UK, let us know. We'd be delighted to take you for a cruise : )xxx

[@Urbanfux]

Absolutely brilliant seeing Narrowboat Silver Fox coming to life! 💚💜

Wow, it looks amazing. I can’t wait to see you on the water. Excellent choice of music, the boat deserved something dramatic for the finale. The entire boat building journey has been fantastic and I’ve loved it. Now the real journey starts! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Dearest Sylvia. You’ve supported our journey all the way and we look forward to your comments 💙 It took a few days to find the right music. You’re right, it needed something dramatic! I hope you stay with us as we launch and start our new lives? xxx

[@rochmel1409]

I could tell right from the beginning how emotional you guys were feeling and rightly so. As a subscriber to the vlogs I am up to date with your output. It is so obvious that you made the right decision. I sincerely hope that you guys are as happy and contented in real life as you appear on the vlogs.

A really well thought out boat. Whenever I see these boats the bed size has always been an issue and I have pondered how to make them extend width ways. Bickerstaffe have cracked it ! Love everything about the boat. Well done and enjoy.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you! x

[@pammipayne3334]

Oh my Silver Fox is so stunning yet functional. Come off the blog and let those emotions escape. I remember hubby's and I first home. It was so very emotional, so totally understand the emotions. I would like to say that I wish you 3 the very best happiness and memories for many years to come.

[@welldeckdiaries5610]

WOW, inside and out she is absolutely beautiful, I’d be scared to take her out, all that grinding down the lock walls and bumping about in the tunnels, hope you enjoy every minute of her Hope to bump into you on the cut (not literally) one day Mark & Debbie

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hey guys! Yeah, a lot of people reckon she should be wrapped in bubble wrap, ha ha! W can't wait to get her bumped, scraped and looking more like a proper narrowboat! That's what we've bought her for :) Make sure you say hello if we pass on the cut! xxxx

[@Darxyanne]

She’s beautiful!! Love getting the inside tour- after having watched a bunch of the later (current) videos, I always wondered how she looked inside. Y’all have done an amazing job. I need to go back through old video comments to find out how you managed to get a boat to your exact specs when I thought you mentioned in an earlier video how this boat builder doesn’t really make boats to order but rather makes a boat and then sells it as is. It’s just lovely and looks like it has been well worth the wait!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Yeah, it's all explained in the older videos, especially the Q&A ones 👍🏻

[@clyth41]

Finally I get to see your completed boat. I absolutely love it, its fantastic. It looks really nice from the outside and the inside is special, modern and homely it's your home!!! enjoy it lads you and the craftsmen have absolutely nailed it... Enjoy xxx

Congratulations, chaps. You have a truly beautiful narrowboat home. That sofa is going to be a bugger to find! Because, I know you will be looking for perfection, in terms of size, colour, comfort, materials, the possibility of extra storage... I'm envisioning a bespoke job will be in the offing, but fingers crossed, you'll find the perfect match without the ££££s. Best of British! x

I couldn't sleep so I've been watching y'all's videos all night. Lol. Your home is AMAZING. It's pretty awesome that you guys got to actually participate in MOST of the construction process as well. As I said in a previous comment. You guys are literal GOALS. lol. Y'all are SO cute together... Haha. I know this is an old video. I kinda started from the beginning and have been binging all night. Lol. But yeah. I LOVE your boat. The design. The colors. It's all incredible looking. I can't wait to continue watching your videos and seeing how things come together on the boat. Lol. I haven't watched EVERY single video. And I've skipped around a little in some of the ones I have watched. I just have a short attention span. Lol. Which brings me to my next topic. I love that you have Asperger's but you're in control of it so well. Well. Not in control. Idk if you CAN really "control" it so to speak.. But that you live with it so well. I personally have Bi polar disorder, a multi personality disorder. Depression. Pretty bad anxiety. Kidney failure. And a bone disorder that causes my bones to break down and be brittle like I'm an old man. Lol. Completely different ball game with my health. But your positive attitude and the way you deal with your health is pretty "inspiring" I guess you could say. Idk. Not to be all mushy and crap. But you're awesome dude.

Aww, thanks so much mate. Sorry to hear you have live with some issues too. Not good. Like you said, it's not that we are in control of it, we just learn to live with it the best we can. 💜

Beautiful boat gents - beautiful! We’ve been going through exactly the same excitement of seeing our new boat in build and likewise hope to have her in the water in April sometime. I’ll shed a bloody tear when she’s finally on the water (mind you, some of that will be from the cost lol). Just goes to show every boat is unique and that’s what beats the hell of the repetitive box like new homes being built these days! Hope to see you at Crick Cheers!

Hey, Martin! 👋🏻 What a rollercoaster, eh? Make sure to say hello if you see us wondering around at Crick 👍🏻

Will do - it’s taken us 9 months to decide on a name ‘Canalifornia Dreamin...’ haha

Hi guys greetings from a snowy Finland. Love the boat would love to have something like that. One day I would like to return to the UK and live a narrowboat life. Look forward to watching your future vlogs

Hi Paul! Wow! Finland... We've hardly had any snow over here, although I guess there's still time. Thanks for joining us :) xx

You two did an excellent job on the design and layout of your boat. I think it's quite wonderful.
