I know this is crazy, but when I sit here and drink my coffee while watching your videos, I feel like a part of what is going on. I have come so accustomed to watching every Sunday morning it is a part of my life. I you had a live feed 24/7 I wouldn’t be able to work or leave the house.
You two have perfected being a couple. I love the way you bump into each other “metaphorically “ of course. Love and respect shows nicely. Thank you both
you guys are so good in filming and capturing the little moments for us the audience... i love your videos and as an editor myself... i love your edits... very very awesome and cinematic ...
Using the chapter breaks you can easily skip over sponsored ads if you don't want to watch them. The content is free to watch, but Nikki and Jason have to make a living somehow in order to keep making it. Sponsors are one way to do that. So enjoy the content, skip the ads if you don't want to watch them. Curious Minion
@@gonewiththewynns very gracious answer Nikki / J! You have made it easy to advance thru sponsor ads if you choose without missing the “rest of the story”, but honestly, your ads are not obnoxious and I usually don’t bother to skip. I actually learned something in your SurfShark ad today! Love your content and appreciate all the work you put in to allow us to accompany you on your adventures! Fair Winds!
For the diesel containers, get a couple of carabiners, connected by some nylon cord. When filling, clip one end to the railing, one end to the handle of the container. If you drop it, at least it won’t fall into the ocean.
I am a 79 year old widow.I live in Iowa,YOU make my day every Sunday. Thank you for letting me travel the worldwide you.I have the money to travel but not the mobility.I love you both and pray for your safety! Safe sailing!
Another comment... you guys are the most stylish of all the YT sailing channels, be it Curiosity, your dinghy and fenders, to even your fuel bags! :) Nicely done! Stay fancy!
Love the diesel pouches. Might steal that idea. Tired of finding space for jerry cans. We were thinking of installing a third diesel tank that is 40 to 60 gallons as our "jerry can". And then all we would need is some kind of container to transfer from the gas station to the boat! So those are really good idea! Thx for sharing. Most people I've met with new boats, regardless of brand, have claimed to have spent at least 40% of their first 2 years in warranty repair or waiting for warranty repair. Not to mention all the delays and missed deadlines on their boat being built. So that all seems pretty "normal" but not fun. If I could recommend one thing. DO NOT COMPROMISE on those engines. You might even want independent survey of that coolant issue. HH/Beta is going to do everything they can to avoid installing a new engine. If you're getting seawater into the wrong area, that's not good. Can you clean it and it probably ok? Sure. But it's a brand new engine and you just put a ton of wear and rust on the inside of that heat exchanger. They should replace the entire thing, and you should have them check all seals and make sure that seawater didn't get into anywhere else. All that warranty work is already factored into what you paid. Use it! Don't let anyone half ass fixing those things now, or you will regret later!
28:45 That seems to be Moringa tree. Both the leaves and the fruit pod are edible. Apart from being used in the Philippines, they are often used in the South-Indian dish called 'Sambhar' which is a sauce kind of dish had along with rice or dosa etc.
We love seeing fermentation alive and well with you guys way out on your sailboat! 💓 Here's a good trick with tepache to get the most out of your pineapples. You can make BONUS batches with the same pineapple scraps! Filter off your done tepache, add sugar and spices to the pineapple scraps, refill with non-chlorinated water, and ferment again. We usually make up to five batches! They taste a little lighter every round but still just as delicious and fermented. We always look forward to your episodes. Enjoy! 🍍🍺
Yet again a wonderful “sailing” video. You find a way to talk about boat issues, boat life and still visit some cool places. I used to follow a channel that now has a yellow boat, but they have gotten so full of themselves trying to be “influencers”. I love how you manage your channel. Keep it up.
I mentioned before those engine anodes are being used up WAY to fast - there is a electrical issue !!!!! best of luck thanks for all the videos and looking forward to more SAILING ones
Add to it the erratic screen operation - artifacts and one might hypothesize leaking diodes at the alternator/ generator and or failing diodes and leaking capacitors at a power supply. I generally test the DC Power using the multimeter set to AC. Any AC current in the DC system is a fail. I'm often amazed at how many technicians don't check. Two or three failed screens or other solid state failures people still don't know. Yes folks, AC current can ride on the DC supply like a ghost - cooking electrical components like a slow simmer. One failed diode at the alternator - regulator is the perfect scenario. This also causes FLA batteries to deteriorate significantly faster often a few months. 😊
Acorn to Arabella had a problem somewhat like this a few months ago - as luck would have it Calder Nigel was in the area and was able to find the issue , same engine I think
Maybe a collapsible shipping trolley for carrying stuff back to the boat is needed. Also at 28:20 there's a house built with woven palm leaf walls which I've seen many times in your videos, it would be nice to see how those are made if you ever get the chance.
Hi Jason , hang your fuel bags on your life line, then get a syphon line, here (US) any auto store carries them. Syphon lines have a pellet the size of a marble in a rigid tube, you stick one side on your fuel bags and when you shake the tube with the pellet it will start the syphoning . They cost only a few dollars and you can use maybe two at the same time. They also will not take space when stored. Frederick PS. About 12.00 USD. @ AMAZON
Thank you for another great video, Sunday morning with the Wynns!!! Love the snorkeling and sailing you did this time. So beautiful! And that sunset at the end...WOW!!!
Came here to say this. It's moringa. I had 3 I grew from seeds and planted in the yard of my former home. All of the tree is edible or beneficial to humans. Vitamins & minerals as noted above, but many other benefits uses as well. Worth looking it up!
That's the tree at 28:42? I was very curious and was prepared to spend an hour tracking them down online, so you saved me a lot of time! Moringa oleifera (also known as Kalamungay, as @danielcostales2397 says)
On the fishing boat who cut in front of you...We are going sailing in Thailand soon on our first charter, and in my research, I read that locals there think it is bad luck to go over the wakes of other boats, so they will always try to cross in front of you. Not sure if this applies to the Philippines, but it may answer why so many locals go out of their way to cut in front of you.
I always find such enjoyment watching your adventures! You guys present it all in such a pleasing and entertaining 'package'! It for sure is on my weekly 'must watch' list(tho, often times, I am sad to admit, I don't catch on the Sunday it is posted..)..Eagerly awaiting part 2, hopefully HH gets all the 'bugs' worked out!! Stay safe!
The way you handle such a long journey with determination and grace highlights your resilience and adventurous spirit. Your ability to turn even a necessary trip into an engaging and inspiring story showcases your passion for sailing and love for life on the water. And I am Floating Village Life.
Definitely in the “Curiosity Crew”. Have been following you guys for years now and look forward to each episode. Safe journey on your next passage and hoping you get lots of wind! 🛥️
You can stop wondering. It's 3:30 in the afternoon and my coffee is down to dregs. LOL "What if it's morning?" Love you guys. Still miss the cats. 🧡🖤🤍 It was so nice of you to use your contacts to aid Mads and Eva on Sail Life.👍
Thank you thank you! You two are amazing :) Whenever I have a crappy week or day I know I can depend on your episode to give me 20-45 min of happiness.
Perhaps a bungee elastic around the guardrails would help support the Jerrybag fuel container whilst refilling and you have less worry about it falling overboard too.
Hi Folks, I do home brewing, you can brew most fruits into wines and beers this way, some will take longer than others, it depends on the strain of yeast the fruit contains. it's similar to making your mother for your sour doe bread or kombucha. Rhubarb works very well and so do apples, I have made Cider up to 13%ABV, and Rhubarb wine up to 28%ABV. just thought you might like to know. Have an experiment for a bit of variety, see what you get.
Another 34 minutes that just flew by. Love seeing all the different places you visit. The shipwreck dive was beautiful. Not sure what Nemo was trying to tell you but it looked important. Good luck with the engine and the warranties
Seems to me the fuel bags are ideal! Jeri and would be a step backwards! I just love vicariously sailing along with you, and you guys do such a great job sharing your experiences! You guys are great! As soon as I retire I’m going to sign on to join your crew!!!
Great video. I'm sure someone already commented but that tree was a moranga tree. The entire tree from the leaves bark and roots are edible. They have so many vitamins and minerals that in some countries if it wasn't for the moranga they would die. I got me some seeds on Amazon to grow. I had one when I lived in Florida however living in indiana now I would have to plant in a large pot and planting properly is a process!!! Enjoy your channel!! Love the recipes. Just make okra and eggs myself for dinner!!! Sail on!
We have a tree in our yard in Tenmile, Oregon that has the seed pods that hang down and the large heart-shaped leaves that look like that tree. It’s called a “Catalpa” tree and it also grows in the city of Roseburg, Oregon. It has beautiful tropical like white flowers with staminas of orange color and like a buttercup blossom. It blooms in the beginning of July and I live to thread them on a string and make lays to wear around my neck. Wonderful tree. Mine is close to a hundred years old.
Man I had missed the video blogs of your snorkel adventure So much. So glad your back to the adventure travel. You both inspire so many of us. Thank you so much.
Love the video. Thanks for sharing. I have a general question for everyone: Why do people call it a "hot water heater"? The output is hot water, but it is a "water heater". Just one of those questions I ponder.
I know you have talked about this before. But can you please do a video detailing your amount of battery recharge, regen amount and daily usage along with different equipment electricity daily consumption on HH 44, etc. after you have lived on the boat for few months. Did it live up to the expectations and any let downs. That will be helpful. Thanks
You need a jiggle siphon …. this is a tube with a marble based one way valve that you shake and it siphons the fuel. The advantage is it will take fuel from the top of the jerry jug after you let it sit so water and dirt will settle out on the bottom.
Hi guys, we're following you now for a few years and we notice that you are not saying anything about a life raft on your new boat . Do you have it . Where do you store it . We love watching you on Sundays.
Nikki, it’s “raspadura“ in Panamá. Thank you for the recipe. Greetings from Boquete. Jason, a bigger fuel bladder being left at the dinghy and a 12v fuel pump may ease refueling. 😅
I was about to comment the same thing.....definitely Moringa tree, if the pods weren't so dry you could cook them when they are younger just like string beans, also make tea with the leaves....
Yep. Moringa for sure. I wouldn't eat the woody parts or the dry 'beans' but the leaves are great in smoothies or soup, and the bean pods when tender can be cooked into a lovely curry. The powdered stuff is sold as a super food and it ain't cheap, but in the tropics and sub tropics they grow like weeds
Loved seeing the clownfish and how it was being protective. It is an interesting life you two lead! Oh and i'll have to try that with the pineapple beer! I wonder if store bought ones will work or if they've been cleaned... I know there's mold that can grow from the bottom...
Love the video, I really like those diesel bags- great ideal. Space saving and light to carry- when empty! I am surprised that you aren’t filtering the diesel when pouring it into the tank though- unless a filter is built in to the bag. Warranty problems are with everything- even new homes- and they are stable environments. The most surprising issue is that engine coolant- I can’t wait to hear what is the cause. Although you never mentioned if you checked the oil dipstick. Better to happen early when it is covered than later when it’s coming out of your own pocket! Thankfully HH does offer a great warranty period with their builds- I have read at least.
You guys are the best at showing the real life!!! Schlepping fuel all day long glistening with such a positive attitude! Love your long sleeve bathing suits!!! And all the mysterious little critters and plants!! Thanks for sharing!!
I always expect warranty work on new to me expensive items. My first new car, 1988 Dodge Daytona base model, 2.5L 4 cyl, 5 speed with AC. It came with a bad clutch. Not sure how or why, but it did. The dealer told me they fixed it and fixed it and fixed it over the first year. They then told me I didn't know how to drive the car (yes I do) or that I was used to a hydraulic clutch and the Daytona was spring loaded. Nope and Nope. Finally, on their last shot before the car would be declared a lemon, the best tech in the dealer found the issue and they replaced the clutch. 13000 miles and 13 months. Never had another problem with the clutch over the next 5+ years and 130k miles. HH is on it and I'm sure the other product owners want their stuff working right for you too. Good luck with the repairs!! Stay safe and enjoy the time on land!!
Thanks for the tepache tutorial. Two batches in, and it's tasting fine. Latest batch had 1C brown sugar, 1 cinnamon stick and a dozen or so cloves. For yeast, I splurged and added 1/2t Safale US-05. Had a spiced aroma, although flavoring was still very subtle. ABV ended at 1.77%. We love watching your videos!
Love you guys! Always look forward to your new videos! I saw a 'Battery Powered Fuel Transfer Pump' at one of the big box home improvement stores (though I imagine they are available everywhere :) ) and thought of you and the challenges with the soft sided fuel jugs so had to share a note. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Haha, yeah, I always watch to the end so I guess I am in the Curiosity crew (since the beginning rving days too). Keep on keeping on. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Speaking from the horse's mouth. A few weeks ago I was dx'd with cancer. Prognosis is good ATM but it does change one's perspective quite a bit.
You guys have been on a schedule for years. I pray you get relief soon and I know you will be at leisure soon enough. I love watching you sail and I have to say, your blue boat looks so pretty on. the blue ocean! God Bless you both!
Well after a lot of binge watching your channel, I have finally caught up. You are fun to watch and I love how well you explain everything. The new boat looks awesome and I hope you and HH get everything fixed. So glad Jason got his dishwasher 😊. I also like you have a workshop, I am retired military, now a woodworker and love being in my shop. I couldn't tell much from the video about your worksurface, but it looked like it could get scratched up, Jason you might consider get a rollup mat to protect it from tools and stuff. I hope you guys are safe from the Typhoon. I know you have a lot to learn and show us still about your new boat, I was curious about the rain water collection. I assume it has plugs for when you are not collecting, but I think that would be a good future video. Also love that you decided to do a movie projector, look forward to all your future episodes. I have never sailed and probably never will, but I have traveled lots of the world. I am glad you made it to New Zealand, its one of my top places I visited and you didn't miss much in Antarctica. But you should hit Australia whlie your that close. Take care, until your next adventure.
The name of that tree is moringa. It is good for many things like making soap for bathing,tea to drink the seed is also used for vitamins. If you swallow to four or more seeds it will send you to the toilet. One seed a day is good for you. Hi Nikki and Jason I am Andell from Tobago . I am one of your subscribe. Love you guys ❤❤❤❤
I have been Curiosity Crew since the early RV days and I have learned a lot. Good to see the solid light wind performance during this episode. I remember that's what you guys were really looking forward to. I'm looking forward to next weeks video!
Pausing at 28:57. Looks like a Catalpa tree, not edible, but you can grow a new tree from the seed pods! I grew two in my back yard from seed 7 years ago. Beautiful flowering shade tree❤
I would think since HH has a factory in Cebu, it would make sense to go there. As far as the engine issue, it looks like it could be a water pump issue, although yours is cooled by se water, I would say a long distance diagnosis is - a leaking gasket. Somewhere. I would have drank the excess pineapple beer to save from having to clean the bottle - and as a reward for lugging all that fuel!
The collapsable jerry jugs are great can you add a longer hose and a valve ? Seems if the flow could be controlled you could hang the bag on the life line and open the valve? Anyway! best YT channel thanks for all the yrs of enjoyment!!!!
May the Wynns adventure continue - reviewing the comments I mostly agree - corrosion is like water it will take the pathway of least resistance - therefore if there is an issue every ground / sacrificial anode requires to be removed cleaned and reconnected - it’s not as easy as it sounds Good luck Cheers
Thanks for posting! Yes, coffee now is ok. Our aluminum and electric call for attending current flow fairly methodically. Cheers SV Good Karma as Grins!
A few repairs needed but, in most new anything, there is work that needs to be done to get it to the specs. you expect. Here is praying for the best and that it all comes together quickly so you are not stuck in dry dock for very long. Blessings
You could get a tank mounted in the dingy. So you would use the flexible Jerry cans to fill the dingy tank or fill it directly. Then use a transfer pump from the dingy tank to the boat. Best part is it wouldn't take up any storage space!
Hi guys, great, informative video. Love your videos and keeping my fingers crossed that you will make it to the factory for much needed warranty work on your new boat. Look 👀 forward to your next video. Take care, be safe, Dennis.
I think I'd just buy more of those collapsible jerry cans those are sweet! But if you had three more, you could have done it all in one trip (getting a trike ride back to the dinghy). You could always rig a hook or rope to hang from the rail to stabilize them as you pump them empty.
