151: BLOWN AWAY IN BEAUFORT - Amazing Taylor's Creek Anchorage and Animal Life
The Taylor's Creek anchorage is spectacular; from wild dolphins to wild horses, to croaker fish creating a racket at night in our hulls. It's the Bahamas without the crystal clear water. And, it's home country for Brown. He spent every summer down here fishing, scuba diving, and living life on the water. It holds incredible memories and the deep friendships formed 30 years ago resurfaced as strong as ever. This video is a bit of a hodgepodge of events. So much happened while we were in town and we wanted to honor all those who stopped by to say hello as well as those who drove us around, invited us to their homes, gave us free reign of their laundry room, or dropped off a bag of fresh raked clams for us. We also sated our culinary desires with a trip to Chapel Hill to see Brown's parents and to Costco. We loaded up...overloaded up, is more accurate. And, we started to realize that our electrical issue on the boat was probably a lightning strike that would not fix itself. Ah, the complexities of boat life. But, while we were waiting for the instrument replacements, we took full advantage of the enjoying the beautiful town of Beaufort and learning about it's rich history. #sailing #sailboat #sailingprojects #taylorscreek #wildhorses #carrotisland #northcarolina 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!
