    Hello EVERYONE! We are cautiously optimistic about the phone call but trying to be _real_ about the current situation: Tonga's borders are closed and repatriation flights are generally for citizens only. We have told the government that CURIOSITY is our ONLY home and it's our livelihood as well. It's a super-long-shot, but we're keeping our 🤞🏼
    We have been a bit sneaky though: We put out a mid-week vid diving the Caves of Babylon! 🤯 Whaaaatttt????? 🤯
    I know...I know. We thought people could use a little extra distraction this week. If you haven't seen it make sure and click over: th-cam.com/video/Efw1jIZpZ0g/w-d-xo.html
    Thank you so much for all the support, we'll see ya next week.

      I also saw when Zatara released their last video they said you two were gone, but not where you had gone to.
      Obviously, I'm hoping, in light of this news, that Tonga has allowed you to return to Curiosity and you're now home.
      All the work ahead of you to get her ready for sea again, to get your life back in order, all of that. I wish you the best.

      ​@@GaryMCurran I am hoping for their sakes that given Fiji's low number of cases, that they can be classed as originating from a low risk area and be allowed to (carefully) travel to their 'home'.
      I'm an Islander myself, just outside the UK (Isle of Man, population 86k) and we were 100+ days Covid free thanks to border controls that many are desperate to see relaxed so I see both side of the argument in relation to being able to move about. Islands all over the world are doing their bit and looking across the waters at larger countries that seem intent on dragging the infection out for much longer to the detriment of us all :-(

    Nikki, You and Jason brighten my week! My Wife and I normaly travel alot. I retired a year ago planning on spending our life with our children, grandchildren and traveling and now are stuck essentially sitting at home. We look forward to things getting somewhat back to normal. Until then we will have to dream through your videos.

    To the Wynns;
    I started following Zatara when they had about 10k subs. Found their channel by accident, and was so moved by what they had done.. the courage they had.. that I binged their channel (multiple times now...LOL) The reason I was fascinated, wasn't sailing, and the exotic locales... it was that family dynamic you talked about. It was the contrast and problem solving, the education, and patience... that drew me in. NOW... after watching you guys basically save a mans life, after watching you visit with Zatara, your sense of humor, and your story... I've felt the same sense of compel that I felt with them. I subscribed after this video and am looking forward to following your exploits too. (Anyone... I mean ANYONE... who can overcome such drastic differences with such humor and grace as you guys and The Whittakers can... That's my kind of entertainment!) All the best from the Martins!

    Best of luck getting back to your home. I really adore how you and the Z-crew tease and love on each other. I can feel that mutual warmth coming off the screen. As awful as these struggles have been, it’s caused you to dwell with fantastic people in amazing places for precious moments. That’s kind of fantastic.
    All best. Take care of each other.

    I think your "distraction" falls into the realm of "essential". Surrounding ourselves with family and friends is essential as we get through tough times together.

I know as many others its not easy staying positive during difficult times, but know that you both have an entire community behind you ready to do whatever they can to help get you back home to Curiosity.

    I can certainly see why it’s your favorite vid with Zatara. I think you guys match so well with Keith and Co and I have always enjoyed Keith and Rene’s humor. The dive was stunning and I’m glad to see you have got to enjoy Rooibos tea Jason. I love it to and was a little taken aback when I was sailing from Portugal to Madeira and the canaries that we could not find it. So for now I have large boxes on my boat to keep me going 🤗 I hope the Tongo repatriation goes well and I am imagining your first week back on the boat once you settle back in “reflecting back on this year !!”
