228: Sailing to and Experiencing Isla Providencia, Colombia.

Have you ever heard of Providencia, Colombia? Though we are seasoned travelers, we never knew about this island paradise located off the coast of Nicaragua! Check out our video as we explore and discover a beautiful place and people!

We would MUCH appreciate your supporting our efforts by SUBSCRIBING, and giving a THUMBS UP, and SHARING our videos with your friends!

We never heard of Providencia or the Colombian Islands off the coast of Nicaragua until we were planning for this passage. Stopping at these islands is convenient and gives you a break from the challenging passage just completed. The bonus is that the people of Providencia are lovely and the island is beautiful, even post-Hurricane Iota.

Additionally, clearing in is straight-forward, but you must use an agent. Contact Mr. Bush, the Agent located on Providencia, by Whatsapp and he will communicate what you need to do. He is very helpful and kind. The cost for four of us on a 44' catamaran was $190.

Take your dinghy to Crab Cay, rent a moto for the day and circumnavigate the island stopping at the local beaches and eateries. The locals will welcome you; the more you slow down, the more you will enjoy your time.

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!
