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!

Hi guys, the black twisted ash on your boat appears to be cane trash. There seems to be some sugar cane fields just west of Panama City. They burn the fields before harvest, (at night) which causes this trash, or ash, to rise very high and it gets blown away all over Blown Away! 🤣 We have a lot here in NE NSW. It will often blow onto our washing & into the pool etc. Good luck with the Pacific crossing. Looking forward to watching it. 🍺😁

Wow!! Thank you SO much for this explanation. We had really wondered about its cause. Fascinating that it’s cane ash. It’s SUCH a mess if it gets crushed!! I can’t believe you deal with it as well! Thanks for your comment and for watching our channel!! We appreciate it!!

Wow what a wonderful episode I think you're doing the right thing by stalking up the provisions would have to be more expensive out on the Islands. I love seeing your shopping trips because then I don't feel so bad when I come out of the Sam's Club with 3 carts jammed full. That's just one of my bad habits I love grocery shopping. Thank you for sharing those beautiful smiles stay safe and we'll see you next week
