  • Desperate times in week two of the lockdown. We're running out of diesel, coal, and water so we need to move narrowboat Silver Fox during the lockdown to the nearest marina for supplies.
    The restrictions allow us to move for essential journeys like this, so we're acting well within the guidelines, but it's deathly quiet on the canal as we head from Long Itchington, up the Stockton Locks to Calcutt Marina for desperately needed supplies.
    Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

    Hi Guys! It is so nice to have a smile and a good laugh with you. We also REALLY appreciate the research you do and the facts and interesting bits about stuff. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It is a wonderful breath of joy to watch you guys. We have the bug to live on a narrowboat but it is a long while off 'til we will be able to manage it. Now that my husband has been laid off I am not sure it will ever happen but hope springs eternal. Love everything about your vlogs! Be well.

    Before I comment on your latest Vlog, I must first say that I have noticed that you two have the neatest, cleanest narrowboat on the canal. It looks like you wash and wax it everyday. And like others, you don't have the roof of your boat covered in nix-nacs . Now on to your Vlog. Once again you've taken a bad situation, The Virus, and shown us all how we can turn it into a pleasant day. Nice to see Dillon finally getting equal air time with you too. LMFCO!

    The birdsong you picked up on is the spring call of the not so common Hawthorn Oohmearse! It's a bird that seems to only hang out and nest in prickly hawthorn hedges along the canalside. Everytime it sits on a prickly hawthorn branch it calls out loudly 'Ooh me Arse, Ooh me Arse!!!! 😀🐤🐤🐣

  • @jnelson0615
    @jnelson0615 4 года назад +3

    The fact that you are even thinking about something as esoteric as "continuity" kind of shows why your vids are among the most professional-looking of the narrow boating vlogs. So good to see you moving about!

    Glad to see you guys are staying safe (and sane?). I appreciate that you're still putting out great content for us even with everything else that's going on. Keep it up!
    As an aside, I find using coal really weird. Over here (at least on the West Coast of America) it's treated as something only a fraction better then nuclear waste, so the idea of using it to heat your home would be treated as insane. It's one of those cultural things you never really think about until it's suddenly right there.

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  4 года назад +4

      Ah, it's not coal, it's a smokeless briquette. We're not allowed to burn coal or wet/green wood.

      One of the things that I find amazing is that depending on where you’re from in the US and what age group you’re in you might not understand how you got where you’re at. Who built the infrastructure?
      Well I was born in 43, almost everyone burned coal for heat in Pennsylvania that didn’t have city gas or as it known now natural gas. 100 years before that virtually everyone burned coal or wood for heat. Along came the steam engine, again made steam with wood or coal. And then along came the gas engine power and replaced many of the steam engines by using natural gas, gasoline or alcohol. And then along came the electric motor and that replace steam and gas engines that remained. Oh my, where did the electricity come from, well like for my electric car it came from a generating plant burning, wait for it “coal”. You can throw nuclear in there and you could throw natural gas in there which is now taking over. This section of my comments are meant to make you understand the state where you live, things you enjoy that were put there decades upon decades before you were born allow you to have the attitude that you have about coal and nuclear power.
      The sticker I had made on the back of my electric car says this car is powered by Coal, natural gas and nuclear energy. Now you could throw in there some windmills and solar panels but in the long run at night and windless days they add nothing.
      If you’re from California or from the southern part of the United States heat is not a major issue with you. But just remember this country got settled starting in the Northeast. When bridges had to be built in California in New York Etc, The steel mills in Pittsburgh burning coal and coke smelling up the place provided the steel that you needed for your bridges and buildings. The COVID-19 may give you a wake up call and if the SHTF in this country I know how to stay warm feed myself and survive because I’ve lived through enough stuff and paid attention in my life and I don’t fall for everything that comes along that sounds good. I hope you don’t fall for BS either. If you were cold enough you would use that insane coal!!!

    I’ve now watched every single one of your vlogs over the last 9 months or so, start to finish, so funny !! I’m at a loss these last few weeks since I got up to date, I’ve enjoyed killing an hour or two at night watching you cruise about the country and the week long wait for an update, ugh 🤣 I’m from the North East but live near the Liverpool/Leeds canal in Greater Manchester so I remember looking out for you when we were out with the dogs in Pennington Flash, around the time you’d been past Wigan ha. Take care guys, you’re keeping people’s spirits up in these mad times, huge respect 👊🏽💛

    I was forced to move to a warf today. My old batteries finally gave out and I had no power, had to take the poor girl into be repaired. Saw a lot of signs along to the towpath urging people not to use them for exercise, no-one was listening, hundreds of people flocking up and down the path, one guy even having a Picnic. Thankfully the sight of all the little ducklings is keeping me happy.

    • @FoxesAfloat

    Bird song? I reckon it's a ChiffChaff....... but I could be wrong, as it may be the legendary and very rare Oozlum bird that flies around in ever decreasing circles until it disappears up it's own backside. It's true guys, look it up on 't interweb thingy.

    I love the videos on so many levels. We too are a married gay couple together 25 years. I was wondering if you feel a bit disconnected from the world in a way that makes you want to settle down and have some stability by constantly moving in the boat? My husband, who also has extremely high functioning Asperger’s syndrome, needs pretty set routines with little deviation to stay alright and comfortable in his own skin. I have accommodated that for many years now while also gently getting him to go a little outside of his comfort zone. He is alright as long as I am there with him coaching him and supporting him. I am his rock. He might be able to make the traveling itself, the routine that makes everything ok, but I would be a little concerned that he would eventually have problems further down the line. Your thoughts? I know this syndrome does not have just one form of expression. I am in Sean’s shoes as a loving husband who wants only the very best for my husband. Sometimes I grow frustrated and my temper can get a little short even thought I know what is going on. More of your thoughts, if you can share them. It is rare I get to talk to another couple in a similar situation. Great video gentlemen. Many thanks!

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  4 года назад +4

      Hi!
      I wouldn't say we felt disconnected, but we do try to avoid the crowds. If I'm honest, travelling doesn't fit in with ASD. I hate change, and travelling involves constant change, which causes stress and worry about moving. Shaun is the same as you in the sense that he has to cope with something he doesn't understand. Sometimes it get's too much for him too. x

    Hi again. It's your # 1 American fan, except for Donald Trump, j/k, or he may be. Anyways I'm trying to catch up on all the vlogs but I skip ahead to read the new ones as well. Glad I did or I wouldn't have known about Dillon and probably kept talking about him. I am sorry and know that loss all too well, that's our family. I was wondering, is there a vlog all about the locks and the canals? It is so interesting to me. How were they made, why were they first made, how long are they, how many are there ??? Colin, you are a great teacher, have you taught before ?? The way you and Sean describe things makes it so easy to understand. I'll say again, you are the most perfect couple and do the gay community proud. So many look up to you both. Ok, hang in there and watch out for LOCK NESS MONSTER !! not the same thing is it, ?? HAHA, LOVE YA
