We'll let you in on a few untold secrets, some moments we regret, and a few that we'd love to re-live! Find out what it's REALLY like living and constantly cruising on a canal narrowboat on the UK's 2,000 miles of navigable waterways.

Remember Colin talking about mental health, if it weren't for you guys talking about it and having the first lockdown to think over it, then I honestly don't think I'd be here. As I've got help with it, looked into why I felt different and didn't fit in. So started looking into the possibility of being autistic and having meltdowns, of which I didn't think at the time of having them, were meltdowns. Loved the channel so much and seeing your adventures, stay safe and take care to both of you Colin and Shaun

[christopherwhitelaw]

As a depressive myself, I can’t begin to thank you for letting us into what must be the most lonely area of ill-health. No-one suffers more than people with mental health issues and those who love them. Thank you so much for letting us in.

[eleanorchapple]

So glad seeing Shaun more like his old self! This is a great recap of your canal journey so far. Thank you for wonderful .entertainment

[angieyust-foreman]

My husband said, 'I sent you a link. I wanna do what they're doing. We can do it when you retire.' I clicked and found you and your journey amazing. I told him I'd move from the states in a heartbeat as long as Colin and Shaun could be our friends! Thank you both for taking us along with you.

You boys...silly as ever and fun to watch...your camera work is really good...the drone footage of those aqueducts is really first class....love it all...stay laughing, its what makes life worth living.

[rocketrose]

In reviewing this vlog I am reminded of what sets you apart from every other narrowboat vlog, the fact that you absolutely love what you are doing. You love the UK and the canal life you document so well. It is apparent that you love each other very deeply and cherish the lives you have built together. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us.

[traceyhibbs]

Always look forward to Friday and your videos. Love the drone views and your history lessons

[pameladwyer]

So much fun to re-visit those places! Colin, I think you look great in the Peaky Binders hat, but there you go! Shaun, I love your snuggly knitted hat! You guys make my Fridays!! Keep being yourselves!

[andyrbush]

I realized today that when I am fully caught up with the vlogs, I can start again and watch one new vlog and two old vlogs a week pretty much indefinitely. This vlog in particular demonstrates how time and events pass into the sands of time and we still plod along. Add to that the history of England as you travel, it shows how over the years, decades and centuries just how industrious people were with all the things they built.

[michaelhiggins]

Oh this one was awesome Shaun and Colin, looking back on your adventure together. So many wonderful moments, really too many to measure. You may never know just how much enjoyment you two bring to the world allowing us all, to vicariously invade your lives and . . . it is so very much needed right now where I call home. I am looking forward to next weeks installment and also can't wait to see the next boat you are having built. I do hope it may feature the stove and stonework I suggested ;) Take very good care guy's, bless you both !

[quebot]

When I feel a meltdown coming, I watch y’all and I’m good to go again. Thank you

[jameswillmore]

I can't get too much of your beautiful cinematography.

[kathyowens]

A thousand thank yous to our Shaun for keeping you safe Colin, and Colin thank you for sharing about mental health, the bravery was astounding.

[acblack]

You know it makes me smile remembering the day we watched the Silver Fox going into the water. Now I smile trying remembering everything in between. Thank you both for a super 1, 000 mile journey. Look forward to the new boat and then 100, 000 MORE!!

Thank you for sharing it with everyone.
My favourite though are the Outtakes
They are hilarious
Have a great weekend
Stay safe
Love Kim x

[annie]

Hi Colin and Shaun you continue to amaze us with the quality & craftsmanship of your vlogs. Always brilliant lucky us. Thanks. Xx

[ianross]

I've sat and just binged watched your channel. You guys are amazing 🙂

[MrOVERANOUT]

Thank you for taking us on your journey. We loved the history lessons, the banter and the out takes and we never got to operate one single lock or navigate through a single tunnel or over any of the wonderful aqueducts. But we were treated to be able to sit and witness your journey, and what a journey it was.
So looking forward to the next 500 miles and more fun.
Thank you both.

[robertblake]

This is just the best recap. The video is just fabulous, beautiful scenery, fantastic drone video.

[stephenlittle]

My O My what a journey we all have had and what a marvellous one too. And many more to come as well. That cap looked OK to me. Perfect.
It's been great with all the air shots and info you come out with it makes it more interesting to us all. And it makes the canal come A LIVE. And the Old Photo's just add to it as well.
THANKS LADS AND 🐈.
Keep Well.
