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

Jason is getting a dishwasher…Congrats on the new boat. Looking forward to all the new adventures.
Jason will have to learn to cook if he's not washing up 🌶👨🍳 😉
He got one of them years ago. 😂
That was my first thought too.
@@paarkerPhotos or it didn't happen
Yeah that’s got to be the answer. Congratulations Jason 🎉😂
Tool Time with Tim was everything! Sorry for the delay! I can’t wait to be virtually sailing with you guys!
They have added Tool Time in a couple of times, and I laugh every time! 😂😂😂😂
Tim Allen's stand-up special was the funniest on HBO
Heidi (Debbe Dunning ) from Tool Time is my neighbor. She is always golfing and roller skating. She goes to conventions to meet fans all the time.
She’s so gorgeous! (Nikki too of course… but this time I’m referring to the boat! ❤) ~R
'Howdy neighbour '. Tim 'The Toolman' Taylor, great show for sure. Loving the colour of the boat especially when the water is reflected in it 👍
Love Tim the Toolman Taylor and his Binford 3000 tools
Love Y’all!Home Improvement was one of my favorite programs! Can’t wait to see y’all’s first sailing video on the open water!!!!
It is a journey. As I watched your yaght go slowly down the ramp, into the water, I remembered my father lowering his refurbished 45-foot sportfisher from the 1940s into the water at my grandfather's private marina on the Chester River near Chedtertown MD. My grandfather had a rail and winch system that clicked loudly as the boat went down the ramp, painfully slowly. He named the boat after me, so I wanted to get aboard as fast as possible. I think I was around 7 years old. He, too, had to take the boat out again to make more repairs. It truly was difficult to watch. It was also very cold out, and we had to wait for warmer weather for him to move it up to CT. Where we lived.
Have such fond memories of being on that old boat. May your lives and memories be just as happy, if not more than my childhood, on The Lisa Marie.
We started with travel trailers and are now building a boat, pretty much because of you guys. We took your advice to heart and have learned to sail and are building up our miles and skills before we pick up our own boat. Great to see how this whole process is unfolding. Took last week’s break as an opportunity to go back and watch your first couple of months of sailing videos- how far you have come!
So amazing!
Enjoy these moments and delays as those you'll remember the most. My wife and I watched your journey every Sunday, unfortunately she passed to pancreatic cancer in June and couldn't see your finish. Enjoy your adventure together and thanks for sharing.
Few weeks delay is nothing in the context of the years, and years, and years of adventure to come! Stay patient and enjoy!
Dear Jason and Nikki, Congrats on this most crucial of all milestones: perfect flotation! She looks STUNNING! I hear your frustration and sense your months of inner exhaustion, from anticipating her birth and yet, despite your readiness, she's gonna be born when she is ready, not when anyone else is ready. But that's the beauty of it!! It will ALL cone true, and all be worth it! Meanwhile, luckily you two are incredibly practiced at unpredictable waiting. It's one of your superpowers! You're just stuck in the world's most unpredictable weather window right now, waiting to depart, but the weather keeps changing, and it's all out of your control. May you draw on your inner strength! It's expectation -- the set up and the disappointment -- that makes it so emotionally exhausting to you. For us? We're just here for the ride, and we're not going anywhere. So *please* don't worry about pleasing anyone other than yourselves! May you just do what you need to do to take care of you. Sending support and all the positive energy from across the world. ❤Lee
Well said Lee!!☘
I noticed no props or bottom paint so then realized the process is ongoing. I was able to watch the commissioning of our new monohull sailboat back in the day. A very interesting and exciting process indeed. Congratulations and glad to see they are making sure everything is done correctly.
Finally, you are back.
What's even better is that you are back with your new boat!
Congratulations!!!
It’s a process you wouldn’t want any other way but to be right. Enjoy the journey ❤️ Hugs for overcoming the challenges ⛵️
Holy smokes! That color is absolutely stunning in the water.
Your episodes NEVER fail to leave us with anticipation of the next one. Fascinating process. I was intrigued by the stepp ed process of checking systems and installing panels in a particular and necessary order. Thanks for the invitation, looking forward to the next video. Be well Niki and Jason, real close to sailing this jewel on your own....can't wait for those episodes.
I loved Tim's neighbor who never showed his face. Funny.
EVERYONE knows Tim the toolman!!! With ya Jason
Wonderful build! I truly can't wait to virtually sail with you guys on this thing.
Regarding the e-bike, I would definitely recommend a CARBO. It is similar to the GoCycle, same carbon fiber frame and same high quality components but at a much lower price. Their after-sale support is amazing, and the best part is that they are friendly to their community and accommodating. I imagine if you talk to them, they can perhaps custom build you a CARBO with a similar color scheme to your boat and fit it with off-road tires as well, worth a shot!
@gonewiththewynns this
I don't know how to tag them...
We see you! 😉👀
@@gonewiththewynns whatever you get make sure you have fenders so you don't pain mud on your bum!
Congrats Nikki and Jason on another major milestone! All these delays will be quickly forgotten once you move aboard and start sailing in the sunset 🌅
You two are getting closer and closer, and they are making sure it is all done right. This next week might feel like forever, but it will be done before you know it and you will be on your boat before you know it!
This is fantastic, it’s about time - good people deserve good things!
you don't "deserve" good things, deal with it.
@@tj-kv6vrWell aren't you just a lovely, little ray of sunshine?
I recommend Brompton C line 6 speed. No need for electric since it has 6 well-spaced gears, everything is well made, really small when folded, and minimal maintenance requires. Except for some really chunky dirt roads or single MTB trails, Brompton bike can get you everywhere else.
It is all just a part of the journey of building our own boat. The more you are there, the more you learn, and the better you will know your own boat. Thanks for letting us be a part of your lives.
Limbo living is always such a challenge. I’ve experienced it a few times in my 77 years and I now know it was a teaching/learning time for me. I admire the way you two are handling it all with such grace and putting it to good use. So very eager to see the next step! I’ve been following you since your very early RV days and it’s always been a joy. Peace to you both. ❤
Loved the show Home Improvement! 😂 Everyone calls it tool time because that was what Tims show was called on the show. But Home Improvement was the actual name. I'll never forget when they finally showed Wilson's face!
😂😂 the tooltime grunt/laugh!! I knew immediately what he was doing 😂😂
Congratulations ❤
88' looks good to me, so happy for you both and your new boat which you've worked so hard for. Well done!! 🎉 Your sensibilities have gotten you to where you are, Congratulations!! ❤
Thanks for sharing. Like 26. Tim "The Toolman" Taylor! With Binford tools! Who can forget! Until next week...
Jason, Tim Allen show was one of the best shows to watch as a family. I loved it my husband loved it and I was not afraid for my children to watch the show. We laughed so much at the stupid stuff and the silly jokes. I wish they had shows like that! Yes it does date us.
So happy for you guys. The waiting is even hard for us. We have been there when building a house. You are doing a great job of staying busy and positive. Thank you for all the filming and hard work.
When you announced the colour of your boat I thought no no no, but wow was I wrong your boat was absolutely stunning sitting on the water, I take a bow to your foresight.
lOVE tim the tool man tailor!!!! your patience is second to none, the day will come as it did for Teresa and Nick...just keep swimming...:)
I love my Brompton folding bike. I’ve used it hundreds of miles on numerous surfaces, including cobblestone. The frame is a beast and can handle anything.
Yeah, but can you see him manhandling it in and out of the little hull?
Brompton bikes fold super small
Very expensive.
You can pick them up second hand cheaper. But yes the electric version is expensive.
I'm so excited for you and can also feel and see your disappointment on yet more delays. Thank you for showing us the reality and some of the emotion behind all of this. I'm eagerly awaiting next week's episode. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
Of course I know Tim the Tool Man. I’d like him to work on my lawnmower. Sorry for your delays but this is exciting to watch.
So excited for y’all can’t wait for next week. Please do a shopping video for the little things that will make the boat your home.
Soon. Soon! I am so excited for you and cannot wait until you get back to onboard adventuring with your new beautiful home. It will be amazing.
“Oh. The places you’ll go.”
Dishwasher 😉 sounds like you won Jason. 👍
So happy for you guys glad you have finally got her in the water!!!
You two are so down to earth in contrast with your shiny new yacht it’s a beautiful thing ❤we need more stories about reasonable people making it ❤
No matter what you two do in an episode it is fun to watch. Just where you live, or what you do when you get there is always interesting. So thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Baby Shark du du du du du...

It just baffles me that your channel does not have over one million subscribers. Your content is great and the both of you are awesome.
The vintage retro turquoise blue is stunning on the modern cat lines.
Will be interesting to see retractable scoops operate in the water. They look like an added safety plus.
Best wishes on enjoying your new home.
Wow, congratulations on launching your catamaran for the first time! 🎉 It's such a major milestone and I'm so happy for you. I've been following your journey, from the exciting news of getting a dishwasher to all the tool time adventures with Tim. It's been a joy to see how much progress you've made.
Launching a boat for the first time can be nerve-wracking, but I know you've put in all the effort to make sure everything is just right. Remember, it's all part of the process, and the challenges you overcome will only make the journey even more rewarding. I can't wait to see your first sailing video on the open water!
Sending you love and positive vibes as you embark on this amazing adventure. Good things come to good people, and you definitely deserve this incredible experience. Enjoy every moment and embrace the journey ahead. Fair winds and smooth sailing! ⛵️❤️
Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thank you for your positive attitude no matter what happens.
Wow….talk about patience. I can’t wait to see this girl sailing for the first time. Thank you for another great video and updat‼️🥂⛵️⚓️
Your new home is beautiful. I must admit I wasn't convinced by the colour at first, but on the water, she looks fantastic.
Beautiful Boat, I’ve been waiting patiently too. I’m liking your decisions on choices. Excited for the adventures you all will be taking. I’ll be staying tuned for your next video
I have been watching your videos for several years, and find them so very interesting. Watching how much you have learned and accomplished is highly entertaining. Thank you!!
who doesn't know Tim the Tool Man Taylor??? he's a legend
Heck yes I remember tool time rewatching it now it's on Disney+. This is for you Jason aaarrrrruuh! Anyways been watching since the early days just love what you two are doing keep up the great work.
Thanks Wynns. Time is going to fly like the wind! You guys will be sailing soon..
Beautiful! Looking forward to seeing you guys on your first adventure! ❤
Following this build and your journey through the years has been so much fun. I look forward to waking every Sunday and getting watching the Wynn's!! Happy sailing & calm seas!
She floats!!! ❤❤❤ I will say it again, and I know it hurts while you’re going through it but… you never know what the bad is good for. Let me guess. Jason is going to have extra time every evening. 😉😁❤️❤️
I hope all goes well soon with the completion, I am excited for you two.😊
She’s looking fabulous. Beautiful colour.
Ahhhh…. So close! Well, hopefully better news next week. You both be safe and see you soon.
Hey Jason. I bought the Lectric 3.0 a few months back, with the same idea of eventually storing it in a sailboat and using it to expand the range of day-trips on islands (so much of the bigger islands are inaccessible when you travel by boat!!). It seemed great on paper, but did not shape up in reality. I recently sold it for a few major reasons:
1. These things are crazy heavy! I weigh 193lb and am pretty fit. I couldn’t imagine trying to load it on and off a dinghy. That process would be a nightmare (for your back and just plain dangerous).
2. They don’t really get that small. Even folded, I couldn’t fit it in the bed of my F150 with the tonneau cover closed. I know space on a boat is at a premium, I would hate to see the opportunity cost on that space you take up.
3. You get what you pay for. This is on the lower price range of e-bikes and it shows a bit. They are heavy (as mentioned) and some of the components show it too. Particularly the brakes. They were mechanical breaks on my version (I’ve heard they are switching to hydraulics), and they were the most embarrassingly loud brakes I’ve ever heard (like rolling up on a steam train haha).
4. The tires make it seem like it’s meant for off road, but the weight, low ground clearance, and bad suspension made it comical when trying to use it as a mountain bike (it felt like it was falling apart and my wife was smoking me on her dual suspension regular mountain bike).
So there are the reasons I would highly advise that you don’t go down that route. My recommendation instead? I would encourage one of the two:
1. I non-e-bike folding bike. You’ll still get extended range from the foot-equivalent, you’ll get exercise, and they will be MUCH more portable.
2. If you are really set on an e-bike, spend the money and get the gocycle that you referenced. It will be usable because it is light and folds up small. It will do fine on dirt roads, just hike the more gnarly trails. You’ve got this super fancy boat, don’t skimp on the toys ;).
Happy to talk about it more if you’d like. Just reach out and maybe we can do a call.
Jason, I couldn't agree more with what Jared has written up and here and I'm glad he took the time to spell it out. I have a Lectric XPremium and love the mid-drive but man that thing is a super cheap heavy tank. I would spend a little more from something lighter and more versatile. I'm keeping my Lectric as it has all but replaced my around town car driving but for a boat it's a no go.
Jared thanks again for taking the time to write this up.
We just purchased a Gocycle and a folding Hovsco for our RV to put in the lower compartments vs our hanging RAD's on the back.. The Gocycle is AMAZING. So well well-engineered and light. Takes us significantly less space folded than the Hovsco or RAD. The Hovsco looks similar in the videos but trust me only the Gocycle electric is light enough to actually load in a Dinghy and take to shore and we have found it pretty durable. Gocycle has teased a new folding cargo bike coming for 2024 so you may want to wait and check that out because the total suggested capacity on the Gocycle is 220lbs with rider and cargo.
Jason their you have it from another Lectric owner same problems as others. Just looked at the GoCycle those are nice its what you need. Stay away from the Shanghigh Slim stuff they have a folding one for 3k on sale unfortunately only until 12/14. Lectric 3.0 64lbs GoCycle 38.8lbs Good luck and Merry Xmas to you guys. Never owned a boat but enjoy your adventures
Thanks for the feedback! 👍
I have a gocycle and they are fine - but they are not at all fun to ride. So much potential and yet some how the electronic assistance is so unnatural - I am left cold. I was so excited when I got the first one. Ride one before you buy one, maybe you will like it. They haven't been the run away sales success you might expect considering they are designed by a Maclaren engineer and are made of carbon - i think my reason is why. @@gonewiththewynns
I loved that show with Tim! Love your boat. Best color ever. Looking forward to seeing you both out on the water😊
I'm so sorry to hear you've yet another delay.
Ladi and Margaret another amazing couple on CZcams, who in addition to doing van renovations make electric bikes, they may be able to help you out with the bike options.
Also (0's baby here and Tool time was brilliant!
It’s been a big debate…Wait, is Jason getting his dishwasher?
Yes!
Love these guys I been following them for years . All the best Wynns…❤
Tim the Tool Man Taylor - oh oh oh!! More power!! Loved the show. So happy to see your boat on the water. Love the teal color. So excited for you and I do understand the frustration of waiting some more. Hope all goes well on your first cruise out for testing. Thanks so much for showing the beauty in China.
You're both incredibly graceful about the whole process.
Well done both of you. Huge stress managed beautifully, keeping your collective senses of irony about the 1st World Problems issues in commissioning a yacht and remaining pleasant and entertaining the while. 👍
My wife and I are in the middle of a Home Improvement binge!! hahaha MORE POWER!!
Just finished watching home improvement with my family. My little girl loved it!
She’s looking lovely, and your hard work will pay dividends soon enough. Happy sailing.
Whoop whoop ❤❤ so stoked for you both ! ❤ from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿
We are all so excited with you! Sorry about the delay but the wait will be worth it! She is beautiful!
Yes Jason, tool time more power!
So many good things happening to Curiosity!
You’ve done great filling content since the last boat but I’m really looking forward to this new chapter going forward and it looks stunning
You guys are awesome! It’s amazing the time and thought you put in to making great videos! Keep up the great work!!😊
As long as Jason gets his dishwasher everything will be great,the boat is looking great 🎉🎉
I am more excited about your boat than I was about buying a new truck!
I love the color, it looks so great on the water!
Also, Home Improvement was great, MORE POWER!!!
I can only imagine how excited you both must be.
Great to see the boat near completion. Looks fabulous and I know you both are excited for all your future adventures. Enjoy!
Congratulations. So happy for you both, where this channel started compared to what you’ve evolved it to now is something to be very very proud of ! Big fan.
The color is GORGEOUS! Can’t wait to see the sails😘
Curiosity is looking fantastic. So looking forward to seeing ya all set sail . 🎉
Sorry for the additional delays. We feel your pain. The important thing is that everything is done right. It will be worth the wait. Thanks as always for the great videos. Cheers
Looking GOOD! Nice to see her in the water! As you say, the beginning...
Light too! But heavy enough to provide a good ride when underway likely...
Congrats guys! SOOO happy for you!
🙏🙏🙏
👍😎👍
Great episode. I am anxious for you guys to be done. I hope it comes together soon.
Thanks again for sharing!
Warren
I'm a big fan of micro inverters over central inverters. Down the road it's going to be a lot cheaper to replace a problem child if and when one goes down.
OMG...I cannot wait to see the video of your first sail on her. We have ALL been waiting so long!!!
Oh! So excited to see this video!! Finally, at last the day has come! I can’t imagine your joy🎉🥂✨
OMG the anxiety, Im with you guys! 🤞 The boat is looking so cute!!!! proud of you guys for the patience and thanks for bringing us into your journey .
Congrats on the boat finally splashing and I understand the frustration of the delays but better correct than rushed. Once the boat is finished and in the water you guys need to invite Tim Allen for a tour of the boat.
That's the way ALL electrical hookups and wiring should look each and every time. Superb job. Reminds me of my navy days. If you wonder what exactly I'm talking about, look at any other boat's electrical area and you will immediately see the difference. Jason and nikki they did you right on this, no question
Every time I am amazed by the awesome color!
It's been a long time coming, great job!! The boat is absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you for the episode. Like everyone else, I can't wait for new episodes. Looking forward to the sea trials and all of your future "blue water cruising" adventures. Keep the videos coming!
So excited for you two and new adventures
Congrats guys! Such a momentous occasion!
❤❤❤ Tool Time! Bless you guys, It's like Christmas morning getting delayed!😕😕😕 Oh the joy when it is ready to sail!!
Good things happen to those who wait - even though sometimes it's really, really, really hard. Enjoy the ride!
About the mast: could you guys explain in the next video more of how it works on a catamaran? I was surprised that it didn't go down into the hull deeper(just attached to the surface).
What a beautiful boat!!🎉 Congratulations and looks like you guys are going to have a lot more room. 🎉🎉🎉P.S I love Tool Time
