The Foxes Afloat Podcast

With narrowboat sales rocketing, I catch up with Emma and Justin, owners of ABNB boat brokerage at North Kilworth Marina in Leicestershire to discover what it's like selling narrowboats during a pandemic.  Find out why people fall in the water when viewing boats for sale, the strange things they find in cupboards, and why there's sometimes tears in the sales office. Selling quality boats for over 25 years.

I talk with Kev Kenny, owner of the Bickerstaffe Boat Company and the builder of our narrowboat, Silver Fox. We discuss the rise in popularity of life on the UK waterways since the Covid pandemic, how a chance non-meeting at the 2018 Crick Boat Show led us both on life changing journey, and who the real boss is when it comes to keeping order at the boat yard!  Selling quality boats for over 25 years.

I talk with Fran and Rich from YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook channel 'Floating our Boat'. Following their recent purchase of a new narrowboat, we discuss what it's like to live full-time on a boat and explore the UK's canal and rivers. I find out why Fran grabs hold of stinging nettles, what Rich's best chat-up line is, and how the couple spend their days. I also ask their advice to anyone thinking about buying a canal narrowboat and starting a new life on the waterways. Selling quality boats for over 25 years.

After working in radio for many years I'm back behind a microphone for a new series of podcasts recorded on a floating studio inside our canal narrowboat, Silver Fox. In this first episode I chat with who else but my skipper, the other half of Foxes Afloat, and partner of 29-years, Shaun. Find out about his days cooking for the Royal Family, his fascination for Big Papa Smurf, and which of 2020's Great British Bake Off contestants he'd snog!Selling quality boats for over 25 years.
