133: EVERYONE DOES IT & SO DID WE and it DIDN'T DISAPPOINT

We have an action packed video filled with pigs, sharks, turtles, and a trip to the Thunderball Grotto! We loved our time at Staniel Cay in the Exumas. What a fun adventure location! Visiting the pigs was a highlight of our time in the Exumas. I was really surprised at how many there were, how active they were, and how few tourists were on the beach with them. I thought the water would be packed with boats and people and we would see one pig! But, there were dozens of pigs and they were motivated to beg for food. They were friendly, content, and very active. After a couple of hours with the pigs, we had to move on to adventuring in our dinghy. We explored one of the outer islands with one side facing the wild Atlantic Ocean. It was beautiful. We then went into Thunderball Grotto, the grotto made famous because of the James Bond movie, and it was a beautiful grotto, filled with tropical fish and a gorgeous dome ceiling. Then, we snorkeled with a group of resident nurse sharks. The nurse sharks live in the marina and benefit from the fish cleaning station just off the yacht club. They are great to snorkel with, not skiddish and pretty chill. We found more places to snorkel and see great things and we even had some time to fix a couple of issues on our boat. Thanks to Jeff, we were able to jerry-rig some things that are still working for us! #sailing #sailboat #sailingprojects #pigbeach #pigcay #thunderballgrotto #jamesbond #pigs #bahamas #stanielcay NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our 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 had very NO 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!
