Sail Stillwater
Thank you for finding your way to our channel! We are Jillian and Brian from Stillwater, Oklahoma. We are a blue collar couple who enjoy traveling as much as our bank account and busy lives will allow. We love turquoise water, rum, and every place in the Caribbean that we have dipped our toes into. We have a passion for sailing and in our downtime you will find us on a charter somewhere with our friends and family. We started our channel to document our travels and share our love of sailing and travel. We are working hard on our retirement plan to purchase our own catamaran and set sail for the Caribbean! Start our own charter business and supplement our retirement by providing people the opportunity to relax or to live like a modern day pirate on board our boat, while we show them around the paradise we have came to love. I hope we can enjoy an umbrella drink with you sometime in the future. Cheers! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBusRK4UPRVsEOzvz3Zpvpw?sub_confirmation=1
