- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- It’s been 2 years since we put down a deposit for our HH44 Catamaran. Now the big acceptance day is finally here, and we don’t have even a moment to soak it all in.
We have exactly 4 days to move into a brand-new boat, prepare for our first big passage, provision up and sail out of China. 🫨 It’s a tall order.

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

Hey Jason and Niki. An epirb should always be mounted on the outside. When a ship goes under the epirb container breaks open when it comes into contact with salt water and floats to the surface. You don't want it getting stuck in a galley underwater. If it's underwater that attenuates and distorts the distress signal it's transmitting. Not good when you really need it. Mount it somewhere where it can break free and float to the surface or somewhere where you guys can quickly grab it if you are abandoning ship and take it with you. Everyone thinks ship sinking when they think epirb, but one of the biggest reasons people abandon ship is a fire onboard the vessel. The galley is the number one place where fires take place on a boat. So you again don't want it somewhere where it will get destroyed before it can do it's job. Mount it to the support column of a bamini or canopy near the helm.
US Coast Guard retired here, and I approve this message...lol
@@mikecheslock3542 I second!
Main reason INN, is that they get stolen real quick :(
they are registered to the owner, kind of pointless to steal one@@deepdivedelight
@@scottbroyles2114 Yes nominal, with ID and stuff, ask around in FL :)
Why is YT shadowbanning my answer? Why!?

Happy birthday!! That was really nice they helped you guys move. Since Jason has a dishwasher, Nikki should get an ice cream maker. 😊
Fair point. I hope Nikki will get her ice cream maker!! We will build team “ ice maker for Nikki” like we did for Jasaon’s dishwasher!!
Especially since the ice cream maker was only $14 just a little less than a dishwasher
First thought you celebrate the boat’s birthday 🎉
They will be forever happy with the ICE CREAM Maker!!
Can‘t wait to see you sailing 😍
Happy birthday Nikki! Since you are leaving China now thank you for showing us some parts of this impressive and beautiful country which looked and felt somewhat different to what we see in our TV news.
You can make your own ice cream without an ice cream maker. One pint of heavy cream which you use a mixer to whip until you have stiff peaks, then add one can sweetened condensed milk and whip again. Freeze into small containers. You can add flavorings before or after freezing. I like to do it after so that I can choose whatever topping I want to flavor it with. I have used cocoa powder and pancake syrup (which was delicious by itself). Any kind of syrup works. Regular toppings like chocolate syrup, pineapple, butterscotch, whatever floats your boat.⛵😂
Sooo many possible comments but I’ll just say, I (we the community) am very excited for you both. Many of us from RV days to now have watched you and your channel grow and mature. Family gatherings to lonely sunsets its always a reason to look forward to Sunday mornings. Can’t wait until you set sail into the next chapter.
The Wynn's are back on the water 😂 The world just got a whole lot better ❤. Congratulations and well done on the content between Curiositys it has been a journey
So enjoying having a window into this process. A glimpse into China I would never have had. The process of moving into a home/boat. I would be terrified to be taking a new vessel out for the first time, but also coordinating weather into an area that could be hostile. Mind blowing. Still, your organization and ability to work together is inspiring.
I look forward to continuing this journey from the comfort of my well organized home.
I Remeber the OG videos when you first bought curiosity now #2 shows how far you have come.
A whole new boat and home for your birthday Nikki! Greatest gift ever. Jason will never be able to top that. Congrats to both of you.
Wow, I can't believe I've hanged around this long to see the project completed. It seems like yesterday when you were talking about buying a brand new boat. Time flies. Congratulations!🎉
Thrilling for this day! Owning a new New catamaran HH44 built for you (and us!) What a joy. Happy birthday to you and curiosity 2.
Jason beer shopping was an unexpected delight. "The Trappists!" Right there with you, buddy. :)
If Jason gets a dishwasher, Nikki should get an ice cream maker. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIKKI! And looking at you....31? 32?
I totally agree!
Happy Birthday Nikki!!!!! What a wonderful gift to be in your new home. And what a home it is. She’s beautiful like you. ❤
Mount EPIRBs where they can float away from the vessel if it sinks. It will float away and transmit for help. Outside the wheel house/ on top of the wheel house. Your SART could be by the exit to the house. That you should have on you exiting the boat and onto the life raft. (>15 yrs offshore exp)
Hi, guys. I’m a tugboat Captain and I’ll agree with several others - EPIRB must be mounted outside, free of obstructions, and in a higher spot if possible. It might be handy to put it near the life raft so it can be grabbed in a hurry in the event you have to ditch Curiosity.
She looks great! Congratulations.
I love tugboats! They have so much personality! Lucky you!
I was thinking cabin top roof?
EPIRBS should be mounted outside, this is incase of a fire inside...and easily accessible so you can take it with you in the liferaft...
I’ve also usually seen them held in brackets that would dissolve or open if the boat sank with the Epirb still attached.
OMG…that cat ear hat gets me every time. ❤. You are so serious in describing your preparations…..but then there’s that hat. Love it.❤. So looking forward to your journey. Also….nicely communicated about how some products look “similar”…so PC for dealing with the country you are in yet gets your point across. Cheers guys😊
I think I have figured out why this channel makes me SO happy. It is yalls laughter and posiive vibes.
I was starting to get concerned when we hadn’t heard from you for three weeks so relieved and pleased to see that you are all well. I hope your new boat meets and exceeds all your expectations.
I love that toboggan Nikki!!!
That's the best!
Nikki, Get The Ice cream Maker!
I, too, love Nikki’s kitty beanie 😸 (as this Californian calls it). Curious, where do you live that calls it a toboggan? To me, a toboggan is a little sled you slide on in the snow. 😂I somehow found myself following a homesteading family in the middle of Alabama (Cog Hill Farm) and they also call it a toboggan. They have had various humorous back & forth with followers about these regional differences! 😄
Epirb’s are always an eyesore, we put ours above the saloon door to the cockpit. In your path of escape so it wouldn’t be forgotten also to give it a chance to auto deploy and make it out of a sinking boat if it wasn’t taken on exit
It's hard to believe that its been two years since you went from no boat to new boat. You have made things so entertaining between boats that the time flew by. I love your channel and the two of you are always like a breath of fresh air. I'm looking forward to the adventures you will partake in your new boat. Good luck and good sailing and God bless you both.

Yes ebikes! A couple tips. Put FlatOut in your tires. It's a little extra insurance against getting a flat. And don't use cable locks. They can be snipped with pocket cutters. Get something like Kryptonite bike chains. And I vote yes on the ice cream maker for Nikki :) I can't wait for your next video, and your next, and your next, and... :D I'm so excited for you guys.
We love trying random new things while shopping overseas. Can’t wait for the upcoming videos. Thanks for bringing us along!
Put the epirb on the ceiling in the cockpit…in the corner behind you … at 13:52 of your video. Happy Birthday to you 🎶 🎊
Wishing You a Magical Birthday! It is super nice that the HH staff pitched in to help you move on the boat. They seem like really good people. Your excitement is catchy! I find myself happy and it's not even my boat! Happy Trails from Florida
Ice-cream the easy way, on the way, 500ml whipping cream whipped, mix together 1 1/12 cups sugar with 1 354ml can condensed milk until sugar is dissolved then whip mixture into whip cream, I freeze this in a plastic bowl and stir it a couple times as it sets to speed up the setting. It can be left to set on its own without stirring but will take a couple hours longer to set fully. we made blueberry swirl yesterday as a favorite by stirring a homemade blueberry pie filling into the base cream after the second hour of freezing as to help suspend the added treat. May your days be filled with a good breeze and your nights filled with dreams of tomorrow . Cheers
Yay! Another chapter in this fantastic journey to see the new boat.
Now you will always be able to remember when you turned (##) and when you got the boat. Happy Birthday!
Hey Niki and Jason: we mount our EPIRB outside, close to the helm location. I believe the company which manufactured your unit gives instructions on mounting. I would have more than one as a safety factor, but that's my preference. Make sure you check the battery every so often, there is a test pattern aligned with product awareness sector. Huge step forward and we are praying for safe passages and good times ahead.
I cannot believe it has been two years! I appreciate you thanking me for staying with you both on this journey………BUT I hope you realize how much fun and how exciting this has been. Speaking for myself you two have given me an adventure of a lifetime. I am envious and so thankful for you sharing your dreams. Hope this lasts for years to come.
Happy Birthday Nikki. It’s great to see you getting ready to leave but like mixed emotions I have really enjoyed your videos of China, wish there were more, bon voyage and safe sailing.
Wish they would show us some footage of the city where the boat was built. It is a very beautiful coastal city.
Love your positivity in all that chaos.
That store looks so useful, a huge range of items that you will find impossible to buy when out cruising.
Here's hoping the new boat is reliable with only a few simple teething problems.
I remember the episode when you left your former boat. Interesting how the reality of your lives gets compressed into minutes on video. The little we see of your complex lives. Thank you for sharing.
I am a professional organizer. Your prep before was fantastic! Wish i could have been there to help you put everything away!
Congratulations! As a technical/in-depth idea for a short series (imho) it would be great to see a thorough walk through of everything you put on the boat and where you stored it all. All the best for good winds and safe passages!
Some epirbs have float free mounts where they are designed to release and activate automatically if your boat sinks. If you're using something like that it needs to be a consideration although I have flown a search and rescue mission on a boat who's float free epirb actuated by mistake.
Your community have been waiting for this day for so long!!! You're finally moving onto the boat!!! And on Nikki's birthday!!! What a present!!! Happy birthday Nikki!! Can't wait for the adventure to begin !
Jason: “This is my excited face!” Love it! A huge transformational chapter - looking forward to more excited face moments. Congratulations to you both! ❤
Congrats and Happy Birthday. A 2 year emotional roller coaster. Thank you for sharing this new chapter in your lives.
Congratulations God bless you and keep you safe in all your journeys!!!!!! I look forward every week to learn so much! Not like the garbage they put on TV you are real life education and great entertainment!!! Looking forward to you guys showing the mechanical aspect of your beautiful craft! Happy Birthday Nikki!
I am so very happy and excited for you both! I know it's stressful for you, but it's fun for us.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 🙂
I've been watching since the RV days, and move-in day is still as overwhelming as it always is, whether you've done it 1 time or 100 times! And yet, each time you've tackled it like a pro: break the project into chunks, map out the days, organize what you can, and most importantly: Stay positive! Which you accomplished. :) It will all happen in the allotted time....because it has to.
I love love love the color y'all chose for your boat...
That is beautiful.
Very exciting! Noticed you have a kitchenaid on board, apparently there is an ice cream attachment bowl to satisfy your wanting to have an ice cream maker.
I’m sitting here watching and at one point I get so excited and I remember when you guys got back to your boat post the start of the pandemic. It made me so happy for you guys in these moments as your new journey begins. Happy for you guys. And… Happy Birthday.
Congratulations on becoming boat owners again! And Happy Birthday Nikki. Don’t be too worried about finding forever homes for things yet - find places to stow them safely initially if you are under time pressure, and find the proper homes once you get used to the space and what works well where. I moved into my new apartment 4 weeks ago and I am still figuring out where things go. With lots of trying spaces and moving things again. And also remembering what I packed up 4 months ago…or forgot to pack! But this weekend, I found a proper supermarket so I was buying spices too, and managed to get both my sewing machine and Kenwood chef back in use finally. So enjoy the process once you have the urgent stuff sorted.
That truly is the most beautiful sailboat I've ever seen.
So exciting to see you on Curiosity II! I was stunned when I realized it’s been 2 yrs!!! I remember moving from our house to our 42’ monohull - loaded on everything I thought we needed and a week later, if you stood on the dock next to our slip, all you’d see was plastic ware flying out of the hatch into the cockpit! Less is more!!😂😂😂! Can’t wait for next weeks video! 🎉🥂💖
Excited for you guys!!
So excited for you both!!!
Happy birthday! 🎂🎉🎁🎉🎂 I don’t think Jason can top this year’s birthday present. 😉 I’m so glad for both of you. That is one sweet boat! ❤❤
Happy Birthday Nikki, glad you got your home and off to sea. Safe travels, fair winds and calm seas.
So happy for you both!!
So exciting!! Congrats and good luck!!
Finally! May all your sails be blessed!
happy birthday, belated. real, raw we loved it. It is what we signed up for. we enjoy your chaos as it is contained in a youtube frame. much love. and ya, congrats.
We had a Dan buoy like yours inflate unintentionally because it got too wet. Got the white bag they sell as an option to put it in. Looks much nicer and stops it from going off when the boat is getting spray in heavy weather
Congratulations Wynns! We are so excited for you. Cheers!
I’m so excited for you being able to sail!
Thank you so much for your awesome content, safe passages ahead!!
So exciting! Great Bday present! ❤❤❤
So excited!!!! And a happy Birthday, Nikki!!
Congratulations 🎉 you are finally owners!!!! This is so exciting. Can’t wait to see your first voyage.
So Proud For Y’all!!!
Just wanted to shout out the fancy new toolsets Jason is so obviously proud of. I hope you enjoy getting the factory shine off of ‘em in pretty places.
Happy Birthday!!! So excited for you all!!!🎉
Happy Birthday Nikki and what an amazing gift you were given from a timing perspective. This is going to be a great adventure and we are excited to be on it with you.

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your adventures!
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.
Yay! Congratulations on being boat owners and on your new home! Happy Birthday too!
It is so wonderful to see you back on your own boat and heading towards adventure!
I agree with one of the other comments here. An EPIRB should be on the outside. On my last trip (transporting), I mounted one on the stern by the exit/helm, another on the bow, and kept a small/personal one affixed to my life jacket. If I had another I'd put it in the oceanic life raft. Redundancies for stuff like this just seems appropriate. Cheers!
Good luck guy's!!
I am so excited for you! Happy birthday, Nikki.
