208: WE finally arrive in RIO DULCE, but do we really want to spend 6 MONTHS HERE?

After 6 days of travel, we are finally arriving in the Rio Dulce and are looking forward to 5 months of “staying put”. Today’s video will show the journey from Cayo Quemado to the Rio and a first walk through the town of Rio Dulce. We also get some much needed groceries at La Torre and some steaks for Paul’s final dinner with us. Paul also bought his bus ticket to Guatemala City. And, we had a surprise welcome from the May flies and a 3-hour post visit clean up! What a mess!

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!
