268: Clearing into Porvenir, Rigging Survey in Turtle Cay, and Haul out in Linton Bay; Panama

In this episode, we clear into Porvenir (San Blas), get a rigging survey done at Turtle Cay Marina, and haul out in the slings to fix a problem in Linton Bay. It's one boat issue discovered after another and we are completely exhausted and discouraged. Will the problems ever end? Check out the video to find out why.

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!

Great humour despite the bad news. I was 100% in when I heard about a chicken bus adventure. Would have loved to see more of your interactions with the locals on your way to Colon because that is where you two really shine in your story telling.

Oh thank you SO much for your kind comment and encouragement. I will make sure we show more interactions with locals in the future!! Sometimes I have brain freezes on using the camera....I just get caught up in the moment and forget to film!! Thanks again for watching!!
