143: SAILING & ADVENTURING - THREE great islands NOT TO MISS in the BERRY'S
Fowl, White, and Hoffman's Cay were our favorite islands in the Berry Islands because of all the great sailing and adventuring within a short distance. Our first adventure was the Blue Hole on Hoffman's Cay. After swimming with the jellyfish in the blue hole, we had our first lesson on how to fly our drone, a Mavic Air II. It was easier to fly than we thought. The next adventure was snorkeling the cuts. We would take the dinghy out to the ocean and then float in with the incoming tide. We always had the dinghy with us just in case we needed to abort the snorkel, but that never happened. We were able to see all of the great fish and animal life milling about in the open pass. It was beautifully clear water...until the storms kicked up the sand. Our last adventure was a trip to White Cay to hike the island and fly the drone. Then, Jeff had a brilliant idea to fly it while following our dinghy. It was a successful launch. Overall, this was a great stay in this area and after 4 days we were ready to continue our journey North! #sailing #sailboat #sailingprojects #fowlcay #whitecay #hoffmanscay #bahamas #berryislands #berrys 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!
