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!

I love your adventurous spirit. You freely immerse yourselves into the community by getting familiar with the locals and their culture and lifestyle. I really laughed when you told the bull “No!”….Yeah that doesn’t work here either🤷‍♀️… But “thank god the rock works”

[@SailingBlownAway]

LOL!! Thanks for your comment and making me laugh! Like the bull was going to actually listen to me saying, "No"....I think that was more for me! HA! Thanks so much for your kind words!! We appreciate it!

[@janetpearson1439]

...I love seeing the craftsmanship of work done in these towns with buildings, furniture, decorations in churches....amazing...and all without a Sears, Lowe's or Home Depot!

[@SailingBlownAway]

LOL. RIGHT?? Isn't it truly amazing...basic tools, etc. They are true artisans LIKE YOU!

Hello my dear friends, walking those streets in Guane, where life is so simple, makes you think about life 2-3 centuries ago. I think it was very similar. Such a beautiful places. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers from Canary Islands.

That bull wasnt taking any nonsense 😂...glad it didn't have horns too

[@SailingBlownAway]

Right? He was crazy!! Thankfully, he chilled and let us by TWICE! HA!

I recommend the hiking stretch from Puente Nacional to Santa Sofia and Villa de Leyva, the other colonial town jewell, about 80 kms south of Barichara..

[@SailingBlownAway]

Thank you!! We will have to come back again to visit!! We love Colombia!

[@livanoguerrero3385]
