🦆💛 We're loving watching this proud mummy duck raising her little ducklings in and around the marina at the moment!

we're delighted to report that she's still got six ducklings. Mum is clearly doing a fantastic job keeping her little family safe as they explore the waterways, grass banks and marina surroundings.

If you spot mum and her babies during your visit, we'd love to see your photos! 📸 Please share them in the comments and keep us updated on what they're getting up to.

Have you seen our feathered family recently? Let us know where they've been exploring! 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥

🎉 Happy 80th Birthday, Mrs Fox! 🎉8⃣0️⃣

Today we'd like to wish Pat Fox a very happy 80th birthday.

Whilst Charlie is often recognised as the driving force behind the creation of Fox Narrowboats, Pat has been there every step of the way behind the scenes. From preparing quotes and keeping the books in order, to cleaning the hire fleet and making sure Charlie had everything he needed to keep the business moving forward, Pat has played an enormous role in our success.

Together, Charlie and Pat built Fox Narrowboats from a small riverside mooring in West End into the thriving marina and business it is today. Her hard work, dedication and support helped lay the foundations for everything we have become.

So today, we raise a glass to Pat and thank her for all she has done over the years.

Please join us in wishing Mrs Fox a wonderful 80th birthday! 🎂🥂🎈

⚓It's today we look at the moorings in March town centre. From here take a walk to March & District Museum, visit the Fountain erected 1911 to commemorate the Coronation of King George V or take a walk to see the carved angel roof at St Wendreda's Church, March . Take on supplies from the town centre shops and The Ship Inn 🍻is just a walk up the steps.⚓

Ahead of Drowning Prevention Week, we were delighted to welcome 4th March Brownies to Fox Narrowboats for a hands on water safety session 🌊

The Brownies took part in a rescue exercise, practising how to safely help a casualty from the water, with our very own Gavin volunteering to be the casualty! Thankfully, he was rescued successfully every time. 😊🛟

During their visit, the brownies also completed activities set by the Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK and worked towards their & River Trust Explorers Badge, learning valuable skills about staying safe around waterways. ⚓

It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm, teamwork and confidence from everyone involved. Well done to all the Brownies for their hard work and thank you for visiting us! 👏🏻

Last month was a little unusual for our engineering team. While we worked on plenty of different boats throughout May, it was rare for us to have so many Fox-built boats in the yard at the same time 🦊⚓

In total, we carried out work on 7 Fox boats during the month, with jobs ranging from bottom blacking and routine maintenance to repaint quotations and a new shower installation.

It's always rewarding to see boats we built over the years still being enjoyed and returning to us for servicing, repairs, upgrades and a bit of TLC.

A big thank you to all our customers who continue to trust us with their pride and joy. We love seeing our boats come back through the yard and helping to keep them in great condition for many years to come 🦊🚤

🦋 Wildlife Wednesday 🦋

Meet the wonderfully fluffy Puss Moth. One of Britain’s most fascinating moths! 🤍

With its soft white body, black speckles, and silvery-grey wings, it’s easy to see why this species catches people’s attention.

But the real surprise is its caterpillar… 👀
The Puss Moth caterpillar is famous for its dramatic defence tactics. When threatened, it rears up, waves two tail-like whips, and can even sq**rt formic acid at predators to scare them away! Nature’s tiny dragon. 🐉

A few more fun facts:
✨ They’re mostly active at night and are attracted to lights.
✨ Their caterpillars feed mainly on willow and poplar trees.
✨ Despite their furry appearance, adult Puss Moths only live for a short time — just long enough to mate and lay eggs.
✨ Their fluffy bodies help them stay warm during cooler evenings.

💡 Keep to the right: Unlike what you will be used to when driving a car, boats travel on the right side of our canals and rivers, so when you meet another boat, be sure to keep to the right. The professional term is pass port to port.

⚓ It’s and this week we’re stopping at the Environment Agency visitor moorings at Wansford — the perfect place to step ashore and take a trip back in time! 🚂✨

Just a short walk from the moorings you’ll find the famous Nene Valley Railway , where beautifully restored steam trains carry passengers through the stunning Nene Valley countryside.

From the sound of the whistle to the sight of the steam drifting across the tracks, it’s a fantastic day out for railway enthusiasts, families, and anyone wanting to experience a little nostalgia along their boating adventure.

Moor up, explore, and enjoy one of the most unique waterside attractions on the River Nene ⚓🚂

Happy FriYAY!

Today we've been busy welcoming our fleet back home after another week of adventures on the waterways. As one crew returns with memories made, another is getting ready to set off and create their own! 🌿⚓

Our team is hard at work cleaning, checking, and preparing each boat to ensure they're ready for their next journey this afternoon.

We hope our guests have had a fantastic time aboard. Now it's time to send the fleet back out and let the next chapter begin! 😊
