83: CHINESE VILLAGE FIGHT & EILEEN IS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF IT

We were introduced to the Hashers and Hash Runs (by Paul, one of the hares on this run) while living in Qingdao and while we are not big fans of all of the activities of the Hashers, we certainly enjoy the trail, challenge of the day, and camaraderie! Today's hash run was extra special as we had a friend visiting from Shanghai (We worked together in Dubai four years ago) and it was her first hash run and our last hash run in Qingdao. We could not have asked for better weather and the clear blue skies aided our 360 degree views even as far as Huangdao! Our double trek through the village is most memorable as the second pass resulted in a fight between one of our hashers and a local villager who almost hit (with his car) Brown first and then me. The fact that he stopped after brushing against me seemed to indicate he was looking for a confrontation of sorts; he was not apologetic! One of our group members defended us which led to a fight by this hasher, a chase and an attempt to escape, a village beating and a fine negotiated by his brother to be set free. We are thankful for Gavin and Paul, the evil hares, who seemed to relish in our suffering especially in the dark! It was a special trail, created by two very good (well, we thought they were!) friends and we were so happy to see them before leaving China! Enjoy the hash run and try one out in your neighborhood!

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!
