1 Video View·Aug 30, 2026 #china #qingdao #covid19 Three days into quarantine and we are still being productive, laughing and keeping a good attitude because we chose that over being miserable. Isn't it interesting how two people can look at the same thing in two different ways?! We chose to make these 14 days a good thing!
Join us as we bring the beach to our living room and celebrate you, our subscribers as well as successfully completing another day of quarantine! It's the perfect ending to another great day!]
Following is the Sipadan Tropical Island Beach Paradise video from our dive trip to Sipadan Borneo, Malaysia so you can watch what we are watching and use for your quarantine beach party if and when the time comes. : ) https://youtu.be/-ZvGMGGo2JA

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!
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!

Wow 123 days into quarantine. Just kidding we're halfway through day three. Beautiful blue skies
in Qingdao. Very little pollution which is awesome. Flat Stanley's happy and we've got
a very exciting evening planned. We're gonna hit the beach. No not that beach. This beach.
Beautiful sand. Amazing. Look at the amazing blue water out there. It's gonna be a good day.
We're really missing the beach and surprise to Brown when he finishes his work. I set up
our little beach night and we're gonna have dinner out here. So hoping he loves this surprise.
We'll see. We're gonna go get Brown now and bring him out here to show him the big surprise.
Honey I have a surprise for you. What? You need to close your eyes. Okay walk follow me.
Put your hand on my shoulder. Put your hand on my shoulder. Okay open your eyes.
Instead of being at the beach I brought the beach to you. Yay it's awesome. I'm so excited for our
party. Can we get special dressed? Yes. I've got some ideas that are going to help make this so
good. We're going to build on your ideas. Quarantine is so much fun isn't it? Thank you
sweetie. You're the best spouse ever. I know. I love you. You've got 30 minutes to add what you
want to it. Okay good. Go. Wow I'm so ready for the beach party. Here is my favorite Hawaiian
shirt. Look at the luau girls. Got the hat on. It really doesn't match but we don't care because
we're in a festive mood. Time to go to the beach. Time to go to the beach. So right here we've set
the beach in our place and we're going to cut the sun on here. Hopefully we're not going to
blow the fuses but just check out all the stuff that my sweetie arranged. We've got our beach
chairs. Oh and then we've got our drinks and then here is the sun. We've got four suns set up and
here are the wonderful beach drinks and don't you love quarantine? Yes. I'm having the best time ever
but here's the thing everybody. You may be doing this in America also and around the rest of the
world so you want to watch us. You can either do this in a positive way or it can be torture.
We choose to do it in a positive way so we're giving you some ideas.
Okay beach party continued. Oh by the way here's your here's your drink. We're on a beautiful beach.
Look at that beach and it's so amazing. It goes forever. And by the way this video that you see
on there we did in Cipadan in Borneo and I'm going to leave a link in the description and
we're going to upload this also so that you can see this 4k shot at 4k screensaver and experience
it also. Maybe use it for your quarantine beach day video too. So check it out. This is so good.
Is it good? Cheers. So what do we have in here babe? Wow this is rum. Coconut rum and frozen
peaches blended into a peach smoothie and I put on ice. What you got there sweetie? Wine. Wow from
Qingdao. Look at this. Beers. Look local Qingdao winery right there. Got your beach bag and our towels
and our towels and our sun lotion and our sun lotion and we even have some some gel to get
burnt. And look we got the sun coming in last bit over here. And we have some sand. We have some
white sand from the Maldives. Maldives. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Beautiful. And we've got some beautiful
shells. These are from Vietnam. These are beautiful. And black sand. Is that from Indonesia? Yes.
Shout out to Bruce and Fong. Bruce and Fong. That's right. Black sand dive resort. Yeah. And then you
might think that this beach could be in Mexico. You know why? Why? Look at the avocados. I thought you were
going to say because of the coronavirus. And the coronavirus. You're so smart and you're clever.
Oh god. Bloonaway channel fans we thank you for watching. It's been a year since we started this
journey. And we are going to have a special event for that also. Yeah. And we want to toast you.
We'll toast you right now but we'll do something a little bit later. And 306 subscribers. Yeah.
And we look forward to hopefully getting to 500 by the end of this 14 day quarantine period. Maybe
a thousand. Oh yeah. Only you can make it happen. We appreciate you all so much. And just remember
in life you know people can look at two different people can look at one thing like quarantine
and have two different feelings and two different perspectives. Wait we have one more thing to toast.
Oh yeah. The end of day three. Oh the end of day three. Yeah end of day three. Only 11 more days.
Yeah cheers. Go back to my philosophy lesson. I'm the least likely person to give one but here it goes.
We choose to look at quarantine as a time to have fun, to be productive,
a time to spend with you as we're doing right now. And many of you we don't know who you are.
We look forward to getting to know you. Please leave comments below. Hopefully one day we'll be
able to meet you. And it's been extremely productive. We've never been busier right?
I don't know where the days go. We're actually glad we're in quarantine because we have so much
stuff to do right now. We need to be in quarantine right? We don't need any extra well said. Yeah
maybe. Okay she's talking about grape. You all we appreciate you. Also without you this would not
be possible. And here's to you. Cheers. We love you guys. Cheers. Cheers.
