What does it cost to upgrade a charter boat to a world class, blue water cruising catamaran? And, if you start with nothing, what does it cost to equip it with spare parts, tools, and items to be both safe and efficient? This week's video provides the cost of each upgrade in four categories: Safety, Independence, Convenience, and Necessity. Then, we show you the cost of and all of the tools, spare parts, and items we purchased to ensure we were ready for blue water sailing.
This will probably be an eye-opening video especially for those of you who are not cruisers. But, a few things to note:
1. You can cruise on any budget.
2. We prioritized getting out on the water and being comfortable over budget
3. We had to hire people to install our upgrades because we didn't have the time or the skills and we wanted the installation to be done correctly!
We hope you enjoy this video and that is offers you the information you need or that you are looking for!

NEW TO OUR CHANNEL?
We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our NEW 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 have very little 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!
As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story. Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures!
If you wish to support our video efforts, all we ask is that you SUBSCRIBE, give a THUMBS UP, and SHARE our videos with your friends!
