Welcome back.
We're thrilled you've been following our journey back to the island
This week we arrive home and settle into our off-grid life
We are back in the water, on the water and underwater, but before we get into all of that
*typewriter sounds*
*Arlo screams* [Katie] less 24 hours out from leaving for Uepi and look what has just arrived..
[Katie] These are Mummy's
[Jase] to work as a team okay so who's the team? Arlo and Filly
Go home... Go home!
Let's go home!
[Katie] Are you guys ready? [Ophelia] Yea
[Katie] Time to go. Sad Grandma
*Music* And you make anywhere feel like home..
[Jase] Bye Grandma we love you!!
*music* home isn't where we live, it's living by your side.
*music* oh and I can't imagine any other way the way, the way our world needs your touch
[Arlo pretending to talk on the phone] Oh yeah, come now. Ok bye bye..

*music* you're touching every space and now it makes any place feel like home..
*music* feel like home
okay
Home sweet home.. quick RAT
[Katie Voiceover] Coming home feels really good. You know that feeling when you've been away for quite a while
you see things differently when you come home. With fresh eyes again you notice details that
might have previously disappeared into the background of our busy lives.
We would really like to be more intentional in our day-to-day life here on the island
Notice these little things and appreciate them in the moment
I t's really easy to be fooled into believing that a different place or a different situation
would be easier or make you happier in your life but really i think we could all find
great joy in our everyday life if we're open to noticing what is around us and accepting the
amazing reality that we only live each day once. Getting back to this life it feels really good
[Katie] hello Uepi, we're back on you!
[Jase] Water is a huge issue, you know with off grid living,
probably the biggest concern is always water supply and when you have a resort full of
staff and people it's a huge issue for us so with the new house we're putting in an
80 000 or 2 x 40 000 litre tanks out the back here so we're actually going to pour a concrete slab
and then the framework is actually made up out of timber and then you line it in yeah
then you line it with like a carpet and then on top of that you put a plastic liner so this
would definitely be the largest water storage we have on the island when it's finished so it will
probably increase like by 30% our entire water storage massive for us because we do have times where we run out of water
Now Joe, if you had a few less grey hairs you could pretty much change me out for him right now
oh this is a big SUP.. isn't it.. I forgot this SUP
you bopped Filly... you bopped her backwards
Mmmm paw paw
What's Dusky getting a new one of? A new fin!
a new fin.. thanks so much to HONUBOARDS. Thanks Mark for helping out um yeah so Dusky went on a big adventure she
lost her fin did over 24 kilometers by herself and dusky survived now she's got a new fin so how you
do it yep and then just push it down yep easy yeah this couldn't be easier done let's go for a SUP
yeah she did get lost in a storm didn't she?
but did get her back now she's got a new fin and she's ready to explore um
ohh *jase laughs* [Katie] got it
Love you Dusky... [Jase] and all is right in the world the SUPs are back on the rack
[Jase] Morning Mirri! Morning.. Morning Filly.
so we're going for a cheeky dive i was just down here with the boys on the jetty before and noticed
how clear the water was and we haven't been in the water it's time to get in the water what 13 days
oh we had that one little snorkel with the kids and mum and dad but pretty much yeah we haven't
been for a dive um so yeah we want to go check out the sharks and see how they're going off the
welcome jetty there and the conditions are epic so that's what we're gonna do
