We are having a fuel tank crisis...our fuel tanks are BOTH leaking and it's getting worse! And, we are stuck in the Bahamas with only ONE welder in Marsh Harbor who is busy for the next three weeks. And, we have 165 gallons of fuel in our tanks and there are no storage drums on any of the islands to handle that load. And, we are not sure the tanks can even fit out the cabin door. It's definitely a crisis!

In the next two videos, we will share with your our experience with leaking fuel tanks. In this video, we will tell you why we removed our tanks and how we did it. The process was so much more complicated than we could ever imagine.

In the next video, we will share with you what we did with the tanks after removing them, our speculation as to why our tanks leaked in the first place, what we are going to do to prevent this from happening again, and how our inexperience cost us a lot of time and money. We will complete the video by sharing the cost of this project. It was not how we wanted to start the new sailing season, but we consider ourselves quite fortunate to have caught the tanks now before they caused a major fuel leak in the bilge and potentially ruining our batteries and inverter.

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!
