  • After Duchess was taken away, we decided it was best to leave the anchorage and head north to the false pass, a fascinating geological rarity with great snorkeling. Here we learned a new skill and took advantage of free water to clean cushions as we waited for the elevated winds to return to normal.

    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!

      YES!! The currents and Viz were the most influenced in any place we had been. I guess when the water comes over the reef at the SE end continuously, then it's always outgoing current and bad viz. Thanks for always watching!! :)

    What is that huge thing at 14.49? Some kind of sea slug? Surely not part of the coral as I thought it was moving.

      It is called a pineapple sea cucumber. It's one of my favorites to see!
