Happy Sunday 📽 Funday! Who wants a tour of a boat that has been left sitting alone in the tropics for a year? 🤪 We're sharing the prep work we did, what worked and what didn't. And, a few extra thoughts and tips in the blog post too. There's a link in our bio if you don't already know where to go. 🤙🏼

Weeeooo, Minion has been resurrected! If you watched our last video, then you know she was looking pretty rough. It was touch and go, but she is back on the water. And…I have my waterproof, floating, and all-around fabulously functional @ugowear bag for all our to and from the boatyard adventures. Over the past 4 years, we’ve never lost a cell phone or ipad to the water thanks to this little bag (because yes, we have one for the ipad too). It’s my everyday bag and has been the most functional accessory I have ever had. We use @inavx_app and @garminmarine for navigation, check @predict_wind to avoid the rainstorms and send text messages to @mysticsands so they have our beers cold when we arrive after a long day in the yard 🍻. If you want to snag a handy dandy ugo for yourself, you can get 20% off with the discount code WYNNS. Ugowear.com is their website. It’s a small company owned and operated by our two outdoor loving friends Melanie and Vicky. Don’t worry, full video on how we cleaned up and resurrected Minion coming soon! Spoiler alert, it took a whole lotta 💪🏼.

WE MADE IT and what a journey it has been. The full story is up on YouTube 📺 and to quote Dorothy, “there is no place like home”. And hey, it only took a few dozen tries to get this photo. One day we'll have to try that whole Dirty Dancing lift move. That should go well.

This was our last sunset in Fiji. Now that we’re back in Tonga, I find myself reflecting on our time there, the bonds we forged and how it has changed us. I still don’t know what to make of it all. It was a big chapter in our lives and I am chock full of gratitude. So much love for our Fiji family!

Our final 📽 update from our friend Mark and it's a WHOPPER! If you are in the mood for some good news, we just published the vid on youtube. Updates on the big boat Millennium and his cancer treatment. Link in bio!

We're GOING HOME!!!! So excited to share this video with you. After 6 incredible and life-changing months of being stranded in Fiji, we're going home to s/v Curiosity. And, we probably just set a record for the happiest people to ever leave Fiji! ⠀ New video 📺 live on the tube. Link in bio.

Trashy selfies. We've never been good at the whole selfie thing. We take at least a dozen photos and if we're lucky, we'll get a decent one. Here are the best two from this session. Also, if you're missing your left flip flop, we found it. Willing to reunite your soles for a very reasonable fee. 😜

Oh how exploring the world has changed over time! This little diving paradise is in an area of Fiji known as the Bligh Waters. As in Lieutenant William Bligh from Mutiny on the Bounty. He sailed through here in 1789 on his 23ft wooden dinghy just after being cast off his navy ship. I doubt he had the leisurely pleasure of stopping to check out the reef. Can you imagine if he could see us now, with our inflatable dinghy, 45hp engine and dive tanks dangling in the water!

This is my emotionally anxious pose. Which was caused by a phone call we received from the government about going home and explained in today's video. Plus, there's a whole lotta salty family fun too. Because there is one thing the Z crew is very good at, and that is providing fun! New 📽 is up!

We were in Niue this time last year. It was our last stop before Tonga and while we only had a short 4 days before getting kicked out by a storm...it was magical. ⠀ ⠀ A tiny island nation, we had never heard of, turned out to be one of our all-time fave places. Maybe because our time was cut short or that our passage here was a wild ride with the biggest seas we have ever seen. ⠀ ⠀ The locals were so chill, the caves above and below water were like something out of a sci-fi movie and the water clarity was out of this world. It's one of those places I can't wait to go back to, but I also feel so lucky to have ever experienced it at all! ⠀ Have you ever been somewhere that left you with this feeling? A place far away that you dream of getting back to?

Extra bonus video! 🎬 We dive into the Caves of Babylon...after a few hours of “herding cats”. 🙈🙉🙊 It’s live on the tube or click the link in our bio. 🐠
