96: FLYING PRIVATE TO THE BAHAMAS IN A 1983 Beechcraft Bonanza B36

This was an amazing experience…easily one of the BEST we have every had! We were invited by our friend’s Ted and Gail to join them for a long weekend at their home in Eleuthera, Bahamas. They had not been able to visit in over 6 months due to Covid and this was their first opportunity! Captain Ted would be flying us in his 1983 Beechcraft Bonanza B36! Of course, we said yes!! And, BONUS…we were able to see our friends, Lisa and Shane before the flight AND from the air! We enjoyed so many memorable moments, the most significant one was that Brown and I had never flown internationally in a private plane and Brown had never visited the Bahamas before. Wow…flying private is SO easy and pleasant! Customs and immigration is a dream! (WHO SAYS THAT???) It turned out there were a lot of firsts on this trip and they have been well documented in this video. We hope you enjoy the beauty of the amazing earth from the air, land, water, and under the sea. It’s truly amazing! Thank you, Ted and Gail for your friendship, hospitality and generosity! #sailing #sailboat #sailingprojects #beechcraftaircraft #beechcraft #bonanza #BONANZAB36 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!
