Foxes Afloat

Foxes Afloat

We're Colin and Shaun. In 2018 we sold our home and built a canal narrowboat called Silver Fox that we lived aboard and travelled the UK's 2,000 miles of rivers and canals as continuous cruisers, campaigning for mental health issues along the way. We'll show you how we built our narrowboat, our canal journeys around some beautiful English countryside, nail-biting adventures, and everything that goes with an off-grid life cruising the canal network.
In 2021 we left the canals and moved to a croft in Highland Scotland where we now look after the wildlife, explore the Glens and Lochs, uncovering 10,000 years of history, having some fun along the way.

    Love this video! Thanks so much for taking the time to make it. I didn’t know this existed until I saw it in a Facebook reel and your video was the first to pop up when I started looking into it. Wonderful explanation!

    The dishwasher question made me laugh as it has been an issue in our relationship. It is the little things that you let bug you but matter not.

    Happy Anniversary Shaun and Colin. Like you two, my wife and I have been together for over 30 years now. (In fact, it's almost 33 years since we tied the knot (or was it a noose))😀 We wish you many more happy anniversaries together. Take care, because we care. Jeff and Sharon.

    You put it into words better than I could Colin ..I’m like Shaun,can’t really explain some things 🤷🏻‍♀️but yes,the way folk make a sing and dance about things,and stuff it in your face,is the thing that causes bad feelings.anyone can be anything they like, believe what they like,so long as it hurts no one I’m fine with it,just don’t shove it on toast and try and feed me with it 24/7… see,told you I can’t explain things sensibly…don’t get me started on this what I want to be known as/ pronoun? hoo haa… 🫤

    Having had friends both female and male that are gay or straight in the last twenty years I've come to understand that people fall in love with people - whether male or female when they are the right person. To see a couple of whatever sex that are so happy and content is an amazing thing. Some people never meet that person. clumsy wording but you know what i mean. great video guys and congratulations.

    I've always from day one watched your vlogs - loving all your adventures- not as gay men but as Colin and Sean - a married couple xx. My neighbours in flat upstairs were 2 x gay ladies - married like yourselves- sadly one of them passed away 2 yrs ago next month 😢 They never hid their life choice- but also never flaunted it !! Like yourselves- lovely people ❤- take care xxx

    Hi Colin and Shaun ,loved the Q&A, just a suggestion for you, Shaun hates cutting the grass, and you want a donkey, so if you bought a donkey he could graze all your lawns, a bonus would be with a little donkey cart you could have romantic rides through the heather LOL, keep up the good work, my wife and I love you (I was diagnosed with AS when in my forties, 69 now, and you've helped me so much!) Fondest Regards Steve

    Renting a narrowboat in Great Britain is one of the options my wife and I are considering for a vacation in the UK. Your video with the basics is encouraging. Have been to Wales or Scotland many times now, by motorcycle. Even February with the motorcycle with a sidecar in Wales is actually not such a bad time. You get a different perspective with a narrowboat.

    I completely agree with you regarding how people treat you as a gay couple. My sister was gay and she never dressed as a statement of her sexuality, nor flew a rainbow flag on her boat or anywhere else, nor insisted everyone had to know that she was gay. I feel there may be too many people today who insist that we all need to know whether they are gay, trans, gender fluid or whatever other "label" they have given themselves, by whatever means possible. It's not needed. We don't need to know.
