139: AMAZING THINGS TO DO at SHROUD CAY

Shroud Cay was our final stop in the Exumas and it didn't disappoint. We loved our time there especially because we were able to reunite with our friends Carolyn and Keith. We met them the day we checked into Great Inagua. They are a lot of fun and similar to us, they are new cruisers. We all laughed as we shared stories of our mishaps and accidents in our first 6 months of cruising. The next day, at high tide, we picked them up and headed over to the mangrove river. From satellite views, it appeared that the delta of the river into the ocean looked like a pretty amazing spot to check out. And, it was extraordinary! I loved it because I could hike the ridgeline and get amazing views of the water as well as the mangrove river and but then we could also walk out on the sand bars and get great drone footage. Many thanks to Jeff for his drone shots. He did such a fantastic job! Our time in the Exumas was coming to an end which was disappointing, but we looked forward to heading north and seeing friends and family! #sailing #sailboat #sailingprojects #BAHAMAS #SHROUDCAY #SHROUD #MANGROVERIVER #MANGROVE 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!
