I'm taking myself for a SUP (stand up paddle) because we're only going to be here for a little while longer before
we head back to Aus and um the kids are off with someone else and it's beautiful and calm so i'm
actually gonna take my mask and snorkel out with me and go for a little snorkel on our beautiful
reef because i don't know if you know this but we live in one of the most spectacular places in the
world and world-class scuba diving snorkeling reef right off our jetty so i'm gonna take the
paddleboard out i'm gonna take Jase's because i'm wearing green so i'll match his board better today
and take his board out and go for a little puddle and then jump in the water see what i can find
i'm just going for a stand-up paddle with my mask
The water is crystal clear so i'm going to get in and snorkel the reef
it should be pretty nice
that was really nice I should really do things like that by myself more often
beautiful clear water loads of fish and a beautiful paddle yeah I'm glad I did it.
[Katie Voiceover] From watching our videos you'll probably know by now how much is involved in living an island life.
Just keeping up with food supplies, island maintenance, building our new home, sneaking
in ocean adventures, having two very energetic toddlers, making videos and preparing to travel
to Australia soon we really couldn't achieve any of this without the help of Jill and Grant.
Not to mention their involvement in Arlo and Ophelia's lives is incredibly wholesome.
They say it takes a village to raise a family and it does. We say it also takes a village to run an
island. We are super grateful to have Topha and his family living with us during this lockdown
as the children have instantly formed such beautiful friendships
and having these kids around just makes everything feel a little bit easier
okay so last week Otu and I were in the bush for like six hours struggling to find market.. Today
we've rocked up this other place and it's like literally the path is lined with pineapples like
this is an absolutely insane garden by comparison so this is going to be a lot easier
uh, yeah
Pawpaws, it's going to be easy..
These guys really don't sell a great deal and they only really ever sell to us so yeah there's a
lot less pressure on these gardens here it's just incredibles everything's taro sugarcane masala
chillies capsicums peanuts eggplants tomatoes plantain bananas sweet bananas
wow that's a pretty good haul cabbage up front
now we're gonna load some timber because we have this timber consignment that we cut before COVID
and we've just been um not able to really get up and get it didn't want to waste any fuel
all right sorry no dramatic timber carrying b-roll but that was crazy the tide's dropping
so we're gonna get out of here hopefully we get over this log. [Speaks Pidgin]
oh
no problem
it doesn't look crocky at all does it. So at the moment we're really quite short on petrol
so we're just being super conservative so we'd come all this way past the timber
pickup site to get the veggies so we said to make use of that fuel and um
we didn't pick up a great deal i could have loaded more but
better to get this and get out than be here for the next 12 hours or 24 hours with our tides
ah where are we gonna go? [Ophelia] We're going to get something get some limes
Did you nanny can we get some salad already this morning
no so part of what makes it tricky living on an island like this is that
there's very little convenience food and you can't just go and buy anything
so we have access to amazing produce but it's just a lot harder to come by like even now like you
have to physically go to the garden harvest that you're meant to harvest the right time otherwise
it's all wilted and everything like that and just takes a little longer to prepare stuff very rarely
is there something just sitting in the fridge that we can use is there but what are we making today
[Ophelia] We're making pancakes.
savory pancakes and what are we picking now salad yum yum
You're going to eat so many brains in your tummy... brain foods? Oh good girl.
ok let's do it. Definitely the wrong time to be harvesting this Filly. But we'll go put in some water hey
You going to carry that one?
[Ophelia] Oh GoPro... I being really care---
My little girl.. [Jase] Oh your flower... [Ophelia] Yeah
So what did we get? [Ophelia] Limes.
You got your limes? and got some leaf..
[Katie] Oh thank you.. Watch out this is hot..
We in the cold room.
Quick, choose the ones you want everyone okay a couple of green. [Ophelia] I might love a red one..
[Jase] Woah. [Ophelia] Pancakes... [Katie] Now that's a rainbow plate..
