More Deets:
We’ve been living aboard our catamaran Curiosity for almost four years. For the first time since we moved aboard, we decided to take a break. After 13,000 plus nautical miles under our newbie sea legs, we hauled the boat out in Tonga. To sit out cyclone season, visit family and stock up on well…EVERYTHING!
We did all of that and so much more. Some of it was gut-wrenching, some bittersweet and some of it was giving back to those who give to us unconditionally. We even crossed over into another continent to see our saltiest of friends (South Africa…beyond incredible).
And then there was this pandemic that started mucking up everything, for everyone. WTF!
Travel, banned. Flights, grounded. Borders, closed. Quarantined. Stranded.
In route back to our tiny floating home, we were stopped. The world was shutting down and we weren’t allowed to make the final flight home. It was canceled.
Now here we are, in Fiji for the foreseeable future. Self-isolating…waiting, pining for home. But, mother nature doesn’t bend to human pandemics, rules or lockdowns. She rages on.
There is a monster category 5 cyclone claiming lives in the Solomon Islands, ripping Vanuatu to shreds and heading straight for us. Then, directly to Tonga…where, our home is parked.
I feel we are being tested, tried, possibly pranked, in a very unfunny way. Whatever the case, here is the story about that time we survived Cyclone Harold, while in isolation in Fiji during a pandemic.
WHO ARE WE?
We’re Jason and Nikki Wynn. We been living off the grid and exploring the world for almost a decade.
Our first six years of travel were an epic road trip around North America.
Now we’re on a sailing voyage about the world. Did we have any previous sailing experience, of course not!
Neither of us is overly talented, smart, rich, lucky, or retired. But that doesn’t stop us from reaching far-flung destinations, having wild adventures, and managing everything that makes living aboard a moving vessel possible.
We’re two ordinary people that just so happen to live an extraordinary life.
Life is an adventure. Extraordinary moments out there for anyone willing, and wanting, to go after it. Ya know life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
And this is why we publish our lives to the world wide web. We share in hopes of inspiring you to find your adventure.
Shared with LOVE 💕
