187: The FIRST BRAVE FAMILY MEMBER COMES TO VISIT - What will she tell the family?

In today's video we set sail from Big Galliot through the cut to Rat Cay. It was rough! But, once in the ocean, we were good to go. We had no issue going through Rat Cay Cut, a favorite cut given its orientation. It's usually quite safe and easy. Rat Cay is one of our favorite anchorages. We love it because typically we are the only boat and there is a beautiful beach. This time, it was even more special. We came upon an octopus living under our boat in a glass jar. We had so much fun visiting with him a few times a day. Another positive about Rat Cay is that it's an easy pick up of friends and family from the Georgetown Airport. We prefer it to the 15NM one way sail to Georgetown. Our FIRST family member, Brown's daughter, Marston, came to visit us on the boat! It was so much fun having her and our first stop was Pipe Creek, one of the most beautiful places in the Exumas. Enjoy the video. #sailing #bahamas #EXUMAS #RATYCAY #PIPECREEK #GEORGETOWN #octopus 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!
