#BoatRefit #BoatLife #Wildlife
It takes effort to cram a one-hour job into three and finely tuned skills to turn it into a full-day event. It’s the one thing I feel we’re truly gifted at.
This week we were particularly on fire. What was supposed to be a simple job of going up the mast to swap out the radar dome turned into a full-blown wildlife rescue and rehabilitation mission.
Turns out, you never know what you’re going to find up there.
WHO ARE WE?
We’re Jason and Nikki Wynn. We been living #OffTheGrid and exploring the world for 10 years.
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.
And this is why we publish our lives on the world wide web. We share in hopes of inspiring you to find your adventure.

Just like true heroes, they prevail like angels from heaven. Add those touching facts that they care about and never run away from those challenges they face. Let's give credit to those close friends who drop in and help when called upon. So awesome they share with all of us who wait patiently for the next episode. You guys make this world a better place with acts of kindness and love.

"Da-da-na-na, Da-da-na-na, BAT TEAM!" (I so wanted to hear you sing it) Well done, you guys! How could you NOT try to save that poor little flying fox. I rescued a sickly bat from the small hoard (herd? flock? hmm, research needed, haha) that lived in my attic. I had the pleasure of watching a sunset departure of the insect gobblers and one fellow flopped onto the porch roof and tumbled to the ground. Same tactic - Bucket and towel! Then transferred (unceremoniously via slide-dump) into a Quaker oats container and off we went to local wildlife rescue. He didn't make it, rabies. :( And the onslaught of follow-up phone calls from the health department to ENSURE I didn't get bitten was over the top. Glad no one was hurt on the human side and that she healed and is back in her home. Bravo.

I have got to say that during these challenging times you have been an inspiration to me and to so many others. Instead of complaining about being stuck in a Fiji apartment, you inspired us by taking time out of each day to clean trash from the beach. Then there was Pip. Not only did you save this adorable little kitten but you also raised almost $18,000 to help the animal shelter in Fiji. But did you stop there? No, you took the time to tell the story of Mark's struggles with getting the drugs he needs. The part of this story that I found most inspiring was that it was never about what you and your followers were able to accomplish. Instead, it was all about Mark getting a new lease on life. And now today you rescue an injured bat. Not one that was injured on your boat but one that was injured on a neighboring boat. You could have ignored this situation, and most probably would, but you did not. You rescued this cute little bat. We see people getting awards for their accomplishments for singing a song or performing in a movie but we seldom see awards for people that truly inspire others with their goodness. Well I think if anyone deserves a reward it is you. You have had so many challenges and have had to work so hard for everything, yet despite it all, you continue to inspire all of us to be better and to take care of those that need our help. With all the strife in the world today, I am proud to say that I am a patron of your site and I take the opportunity whenever I can to share your amazing adventures and your inspirational actions with others! Great job!! I look forward each week to your inspirations. Oh, one more thing. You two are the most amazing story tellers. Without a doubt, the highlight of my Mondays (I'm in Korea so your postings are Mondays for me)

Tony & Susan here, you never fail to amaze. We laughed and enjoyed all the new info on fruit bats. Never thought we would like bats.

Well that was different... saving that bat was, dare I say, awesome and epic! Can't imagine that bat would ever have freed itself, although given their size and wingspan, this probably happens occasionally. Certainly heartwarming to see that critter fly away. And, I just can't imagine how anyone could give you a thumbs down for this video. Hope you're able to get your boat back in the water soon.

Wow! Fruit Bat what a wonderful thing to have done Nikki. Not getting away from the heroism of Jason swaping over the radar. He might as well have been up on the space station it was that tense and good old Cecil to the rescue ,Bat whisperer extraordinaire . 🦇

Things I learned this episode, Jason doesn't mind getting high, and his banana hammock can handle 24"....repeatedly...and...i can still cry, thank you for being amazing humans. We'll remember Batty McVane

😁 There should be more memes based on Jason's pearls of wisdom. Like when faced with tricky tasks, ask: "Is this going to break my banana hammock?" 😂. Or, why one should do something because it's "Good for the bat, good for the boat!" 🦇

Great episode! Lol'd at Jason's banana hammock comments. Nikki being like nope. Nope. Don't need to see that as she drops camera. Loved Serol talking to the bat - "I'm coming for you bat!" And "I'm Sry proud of that bat" so sweet. When you zoomed in on her on the cage, I LOL'd again. I'm sure she knew you were helping her, but hanging there she looked pissed staring down the camera 🤣 She is a very beautiful creature, so sweet.
