A story of hope, that is so needed just now.

Five miles off the coast of Sri Lanka, a group of sailors witnessed something extraordinary — an elephant, struggling against the waves in the middle of the ocean. The animal had lost its footing while trying to cross a lagoon, a common migration route for elephants, and had been swept out to sea. Now, miles from shore, it was fighting for its life.

The sailors immediately contacted the Sri Lankan navy. Within hours, rescue boats and divers arrived, ready to tackle an impossible task — to save a drowning giant.

As the divers surrounded the elephant, its panic was visible. Exhausted and terrified, the massive creature was in danger of being pulled under by the strong current. But the rescuers didn’t give up. They carefully looped ropes around the elephant’s body, gently towing it toward the shore, a process that took twelve hours. The elephant, despite its weakening strength, never stopped trying.

After hours of struggle, the water finally became shallow enough for the elephant to stand. With a final, determined effort, it rose to its feet and trumpeted triumphantly into the air. The rescuers watched in silence as the animal walked toward the shore, disappearing into the forest.

For the sailors and divers, it wasn’t just a rescue — it was a reminder that compassion transcends all boundaries. Survival wasn’t just about strength; it was about the hands that refused to let you drown.

On that day, in the heart of the Indian Ocean, compassion and courage brought a drowning elephant back home. 💙

People have been asking for a sneak peak inside Eddie the EV, so I thought I’d satiate you with a before picture, as Ella and I set out on our first with Eddie from Hamilton, Ontario to Richmond, BC on an 8-day permit to get him properly licensed with his BC plates. Still a bare bones interior, but for Ella and I who have done several a in my Subaru Impreza, having this much space, and being able to simply pull over and hop into the tent in the back of our BrightDrop was pure luxury. Most importantly this meant Ella was happy, as she sees the back of our as one of her homes, even before the future . And really at the end of the day, the cat’s approval is what is most important.
