  • After a week in Daniel's Bay, we sailed to our final Marquesan Island, Ua Pou, renowned for its dramatic volcanic spires. Here we found a German Chocolatier with the most amazing chocolate as well as an equally fabulous waterfall...check it out!

    NEW TO OUR CHANNEL?
    We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our NEW life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we have very little sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia.
    So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!
    As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story. Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures!
    If you wish to support our video efforts, all we ask is that you SUBSCRIBE, give a THUMBS UP, and SHARE our videos with your friends!

    Thank you for taking us along! My wife and I are retiring from teaching in three years, and can’t wait for continued world travels on our schedule! We are beginning to look at catamarans now. We love what you are doing!

      Thank you SO much for your comment. It made our day. We are retired teacher/Admin so we KNOW what it feels like to hang up the "white board marker" and start the world adventure. Please let us know how your journey to look at cats goes. We are so glad we can serve as even a bit of inspiration for what's to come! ;)

    Now that you've crossed the Pacific, it would be interesting to see a video about what it takes to convert a charter cat to something that can handle an ocean crossing and beyond.

      Thank you for watching and your comment!! We have kind of done that already in our videos that summed up all that we added to the boat after purchase to make it blue water ready…but also all the extra things we bought like parts, safety equipment, etc. this was a 3 part series. www.google.com/url?q=www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Dmmbo5-Wj7W4&sa=U&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwjbzs3k0-GHAxVe2TgGHVZhBL8QwqsBegQIEBAG&usg=AOvVaw2_AT0e2tDp3SkpBAdDunNR
