In this episode, we enjoy two amazing dives at the pass and the Manta cleaning station, then move up to the Pearl Resort to avoid the fetch from the wind. However, Eileen contracts a horrible case of Covid and is down for the count before she summons enough energy to move up to the Garden of Eden, an organic farm in the NE of the atoll. Find out why this has become our favorite place to sail in the Tuamotus.

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!

In this episode, we attempt to provision by bike since the stores are very far from the anchorage, but our plan is thwarted by a stupid mistake. The next day we leave through Avaturo Pass and head to Tikehau, but the wind never picks up until we arrive at Tikehau Pass. Check out all of this and more in this video.
