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.

YOU GUYS NEED TO SHARE MORE OF THIS SIDE OF YOUR PERSONALITIES BECAUSE I LAUGHED THROUGH THIS WHOLE VIDEO! Normally you guys are so serious only throwing a smidgen of fun like this. There were A LOT of "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID" & "THATS WHAT HE SAID" moments, Nd tou guys really don't know just how funny you are when ya play around doing boat work or whatever it might be...and I'm all for it I love the new sunglasses Nik. I could go on and on but I'll stop with saying I'm betting on Nik's hatch lasting longest and also I want NIK TO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOUR HAIR AND I WISH YOU WOULD LET IT CONTINUE TO GROW OUT TO ABOUT BOOBIE LENGTH. (I'm straight by the way and that may have sounded weird, just wanted to clarify) I THINK YOU LOOK LIKE 25 year old anyway so your not to old to wear long hair Nd it look SO CUTE on you!! HECK IM 40ish and mine is waist length. Girlfriend let your CROWN AND GLORY GROW...HAHA I can't wait to see the style fridge/freezer you get and even THE INSTALL, because if it's even half as funny as the yank, push, pull, tug and Jason's "laying on the floor in the "having a baby position" then it will be worth the week I have to wait to see next week's episode. Your channel is growing so fast and so are you both as sailor's as well as your video and editing skills. Thanks for the laughs this episode!!!

Next time you find your self banging on the ends of bolts, thread the nut on the very end of the bolt prior to hammering to protect the bolt threads from damage. It doesn't matter if you have all new hardware, but it does give you a bit bigger target to swing at.

@kinetic1259 2 года назад

Replace the fridge with a stainless steel Electrolux inverter fridge. They're 5 star energy efficient, around 310kw/year. Just keep room around the rear of it for airflow. I replaced our custom onboard job with one and never looked back. Best part is they're not custom and don't require parts you can never find. Just glue a clip latch onto the doors to keep them shut in rough seas. You just won't find anything as advanced nor energy efficient on the custom market. A single upright unit will be more efficient than two smaller units.

@Wearyman 2 года назад

Not sure that would fit in that space. There is not much room there. If they go with an upright, then getting a French Door style model might fit better as the doors would be small enough to open all the way. Still, it would really leave very little room. Most uprights are quite deep, front to back and that's a tiny space. EDIT: Then again, if they go with a smaller unit that isn't as deep, they could repurpose the space next to it with a French door upright cabinet and vastly increase the kitchen storage space. Hmmm... Very interesting ideas are forming in my head...

@John-Nada 2 года назад

How about cannibalizing all the working parts from a $150 Walmart mini fridge and installing them in your custom application? By creating a new back/floor panel you might not even need to recharge the gas. I bet these units are ubiquitous around the world too.

I think we get less willing to endure the frustration and pain of learning as we get older. Someone says, pain is growth. Gotta love this couples willingness.

As a mechanical engineer, I have ALWAYS seemed to under estimate the time to get the work done. I now just refer to it as the "Universal Expansion Law". And it seems to apply to a number of things in life such as, The job will expand to take up as much time as you have. OR The expenses will expand to take up what ever money you have in your budget. OR The Honey Do list will expand to take up the entire length of the paper it is written on. OR... etc. I think you get the picture. ✌ P.S. You might have use the open frig doors as a mechanical lever to help get it off the wall. Each of you pushing down on the doors while they were 90° open might have done it... OR just ripped the doors off the frig. Either way the doors would have come off and one less thing to worry about. THERE!! 29:08 You were RIGHT there! Just needed to push down. 😁

When using butyl tape on bolts, always keep the bolt head stationary and only turn the nut. This will help keep the butyl tape in place without tearing or slipping.

In the vanlife community for the roof vent fans (similar to your hatches) we use butyl tape AND sika. We general cover the screw heads with sika and put a bead around the frame even though we have butyl squeezing out the sides. It’s the “pants and suspenders” theory. Plus on a van roof no one really sees it.

@Asteroid828 2 года назад

WE have 14 hatches on our cat. Replaced them all when we bought her 8 years ago. Used sikaflex and allows good for ages. After about 4 years one or 2 started to leak. Try and get them off without damaging gelcoat or bending the aluminium. Now I only use Sikaflex for certain projects. Hatches will all be re sealed with butyl. Lesson learned.

We did butyl tape on our hatches and a long term cruiser next to us made us feel extremely bad for doing "stupid newbie sailor things" even though we'd researched it quite a bit and lectured us for quite a while not why we shouldn't do it. 4 months, 2 hurricanes and well over 40 knots of winds later, the hatch is doing awesome.

Did anyone ever think bout fixing the refrigeration in such a nice looking, well fitted unit? Sometimes repair is easier and better than replacement, IMHO.

@allanfifield8256 2 года назад

I wondered about that too. We know the unit fits into the space.

I hope you go with drawer type fridge/freezer. I've found they hold more, but you have to do some digging in the freezer on occasion to find what you're looking for.

Sadly, it won't fit in our limited space :(

We added two fridge freezers to our Jeanneau 440. The Vitrifrigo DRW 70 all in one is a drawer ac/dc frig/freezer. They can be changed depending on need at anytime. We did an episode on it if you want to see. BTW they have remote compressors to make fit easier.

Wow! Way to go guys! We were on the edge of our seat wondering if you’d get the fridge out until the very end. Thanks for providing us a great laugh on our Sunday morning. Since becoming boat owners, we can relate more and more to the challenges of boat project. They’re always a 10/10 🤙🏼

Always a 10 :)

Props to you guys for doing repairs and filming almost the entire process, it must make it much longer to get anything done! Love your videos 🙃

I’ve said this before I’ll say it again Nikki gives the best, most natural commercials of any RU-vidr I’ve ever seen. I actually don’t mind sitting through her ads.

When you are done using your epoxy pull the plunger back. This will keep it from hardening where it mixes.

When you have to hammer on the end of a bolt, if you leave the nut at the very end of the bolt, you wont damage the threads.

I wait all week for your videos and while boat repairs aren't my favorite, you guys are so funny, that you make it fun to watch. That fridge was a beast! Hopefully, the refit won't make it look like a little a little mouse. Keeping my fingers crossed. --Jessica from Florida🌞
