We sailed away from our little slice of paradise at Great Barrier Island for the big city and a big marina because Curiosity is about to get a big upgrade. New Sails!
And, considering the wind is our fuel and the Sails are our main engine…this really is a huge upgrade that will mean easier handling and better performance.
WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

Sails are your fuel, but not to just move you forward. They are providing adventure, knowledge, fulfillment and happiness. Fuel for purpose and wonder. The fuel for life… A truly blessed place to be. A toast to new sails that take you safely onto the next adventure! :) Thanks guys

@deanallen2862 2 года назад

Watching your video's reminds me of a favorite travel account I read over fifty years ago, while still in High School. The book was LISTEN THE WIND by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. She wrote eloquently about around the world travels with her husband Col. Charles Lindbergh. That was in an aircraft they owned and the trip was made some time before WW II. The book was just a real pleasure to read and I was vicariously transported to exotic places while pioneering 1930's era high technology. If we did not have modern video cameras and the Internet, I bet Nikki Would become a fantastic travel author. Conversely, I wonder what the Lindbergh's would have produced with our modern technology? As usual, my weekly dose of Wynn's is a great way to start my Sunday morning. I plan to keep watching at least till the new sails wear out in fifteen years.

You guys seize the days for us now and thanks. We have been with you since your beginning RV days. We still have our Rv and planning a fall 5 month romp.

I KNOW what you mean. Wife and I traveld the world, including NZ and AUS....Dove in Guam, Greece, HI the Caribbean and other places...Had a heart attack, and no longer allowed to dive. I now spend more time with doctors appointments. For all you younger folks, travel where you can, step outside of your comfort zone and explore.

@wendyrobertson3899 2 года назад

I'm sitting here watching in total amazement at the number of lines, ropes and other attachments just to get your sails replaced. I would be completely lost trying to figure all those lines and attachment points. What's really funny to me is that I grew up on an Island in Florida but our community was a fishing based community and you just didn't see sail boats very often. It was a big thing on the island the first time a catamaran came to Matlacha Marina. No one had ever seen one. Your sailing community seems like a wonderful set of people. It's so awesome to see such a Great community of people come together to help each other out. Love seeing your videos and the different types of communities you're able to visit

I made the exact same analogy about mowing the lawn and cleaning the gutters on the Bums on a Boat channel a couple of days ago! Serendipity. I was using it to say that although you live on a boat and I live in the country, we are both living a self reliant lifestyle and have the trade off between easy and rewarding. For me rewarding wins every time. ❤️

I could almost smell the beer at the end. Days are getting longer and nicer up here, North of the equator. Things are looking up. How about having something made with the old sails and selling them? Say like reusable shopping bags, duffel bags, etc. ... because you don't have enough to do already. But it could be a good charity project and at least some of the subscribers might like a piece of the sails that went around the world.

It is important to not rely on mainstream media. For they can be extremely biased and stick to an agenda whether it be left or right. And that's why it's great to have a neutral source like Morning Brew so instead of listening to an agenda, you're listening to just plain information, the reason you watch and read the news in the first place
