Learning How to Sail (again)
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 05. 2024
- We set sail for what we thought would be a leisurely 250 nm sail from Subic to the northern part of Palawan. How naïve! Mother nature had a full mix of wind and waves in store for us. It felt like we were learning how to sail all over again.

WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity.
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.
Things We're Most Curious About:
GETTING OFF-GRID
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
TALKING TO STRANGERS
People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment.
Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving.
ALTERNATIVE LIVING
These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

Jason always talks with a smile in his voice, even when in pain. You both handled this with the right attitude and thanks for bringing that to us. Music choices were/are great.
I’ve noticed this about Jason as well. ❤
You guys aren’t just great film makers, you really seem like great humans too. Thanks for another great video! 🌊🙌🏻
@@WeAreOpen24-7 I don't blame him.
until the camera turns off
I mean, 128gb is a lot to edit.
This is the best channel! Like a TV show that you never want to end! Thank you for taking us along!
Try “Sailing La Vagabonde”. A great sailing video series too.
@@VickieP-kh8zesorry was good but has gone steadily down hill and the new boat is a complete blow out I say. Not a patch on the HH!
Love this sail! I’m sorry you hurt your finger Jason. As a wound care nurse I can say, flushing with lots of water is good but don’t be afraid of using soap and water and then the alcohol. You also might want to stock a tube of slow release iodine ointment (I promise it won’t sting). It’s much more effective than the usual ointment that everyone uses and you will only have to change your bandage every two to three days. Sorry if this is an unwelcome suggestion. ❤❤
Good to know. I'm glad for your comment
As a paramedic this is 👍👍
As a medical assistant that works in an emergency setting, I also 👍 this!
I cant believe I missed this episode from last week thinking you didn't make one due to getting used to sailing Curiosity 2.0. So glad I stumbled over it ( like a lot of things 🤣) which led me to enjoying it even more finding it a very exciting episode. Great explanations of how Curiosity reacts to the waves and how you constantly changed from sail to sail and electric motor.
When Jason 'lost' the mooring line 😲 I immediately said to myself "oops, somethings going to smart" as I've seen similar happen before. Great that both of you admit part blame so nicely, one of the wonderfull side's of your relationship with each other.
The diving was the icing on the cake 🤗 , now happy and jealous 😉
❤great
I think we all understand the whole process of adapting to the new boat. Safety and well-being come first. We're with you
Every ending is a new Beginning..🙏🏻... 😉that's what I keep telling myself anyway
4:15 NO WAY, SAFETY FIRST! Anything you show us, is appreciated. You may not show us the process - we trust the process for you❤
Nothing like getting back in the groove of sailing, snorkeling, and adventuring with you two!!!! Thank you again for another wonderful video and taking us with you on your adventure!!
Stop worrying about us and just sail & enjoy yourselves! That’s what makes us happy…..After all this time, you guy’s deserve all the time you need to feel confident & safe. All the explanations will just come naturally, when you’re more comfortable. I love that it’s been two months, and you’re both still so excited!! 🍀
Whenever I’m out on the water two things are always guaranteed and they are both simultaneous: relaxation and excitement.
It is so good to see you guys again back at what you excel at. I didn’t realize how much I missed your normal videos during the last couple of years.
Thanks for the new video
Gone With The Wynns is one of the very few great entertainment channels in the whole entire universe. You bring your world into ours thousands of miles away. Thanks as always, for sharing. Yes, I said the whole entire universe!
4:50 and Jason, you can throw that bowl 🥣 in the dishwasher! 😂 🎉
Hands Down this was one of your best videos. By the way last check at the urologist and no signs of cancer (after 6 treatments). YEA!!!
Congrats!!!
Well done! Hang in there!
What kind of cancer are you fighting? I had a cystectomy (surgical removal of bladder & creation of a neobladder using my own intestinal tissue) 15 years ago. My only long term change was I now self-catheterize thru a stoma on my abdomen. You can do this!
Coffee...check Bagle w/cream cheese....check GWTW...check Fair winds. ⛵
Congrats on 600k subscribers! 🎉
I had a full sensory experience as Jason cleaned his finger (poor finger).
I’m on my balcony, it’s midnight.
Depending upon the wind direction and whenever my neighbours use their bathroom extraction fan, I get vague scents wafting past.
Usually it’s some scented shower soap/hair products. Other times it’s the obvious smell of toothpaste and mouthwash.
But tonight, tonight was different. Tonight was a first.
As Jason sprayed the antiseptic onto his fingernail, the distinctive smell of antiseptic reached my nose.
I realise now how totally engrossed I was in your video, because watching you spray your finger (poor finger) and immediately smelling antiseptic made total sense to my brain. I even thought to myself - ouch, that smells like the stuff that REALLY stings, followed by Jason reacting to his finger (poor finger) stinging.
A mere moment later I was laughing out aloud at what had just happened.
True smell’o’vision.
Thanks for sharing this adventure with me. I really appreciate you both simply for taking the time.
Take care of yourselves and your poor finger.
🙂🐿🌈❤️

Quite literally ‘felt’ every minute of that episode. Anxious. Nervous. Excited.
For someone living vicariously through you two, thanks.
If you hurt a nail and its still attached, just push the nail HARD to the finger and youll keep the nail. For at least 15 min, then tie it hard with anythig, even gorilla tape will do. Just dont let blood go there and it will keep attached. Same with teeth, just let it be if it gets knocked a bit. The gum will grow new threads.
Thats a pro tip from an accident-prown woman who never looses nails any longer.
/Catta from Sweden
That is completely fascinating!
I really don't want to have to put it to good use, but I wish I knew it in the past and suspect I will try it in the future
Thanks for sharing
That’s true love how Jason made up the story of current to protect Nicky even though she messed up. He also messed up secondary but Nicky knows it was her fail here that caused this. Many people would get upset in that scenario. Instead they covered it for us to see and she acknowledged. What an amazing dynamic and example for us all. Hope Nikky made up to Jason’s after that incident 😅. WTG you guys have a great dynamic and are fun and interesting to watch. I look forward to Sundays to see this kind of content and positivity 👏
I am impressed, because it was rough seas, and Jason didn't get seasick! That says a lot about how this boat handles rough seas and weather.
You guys do such a great job editing! Super video, great music, excellent content! Thanks for taking us with you!
Watching your channel, many of us "feel" connected to you both. We get to share with you the excitment you must feel at sailing your brand new boat and can almost feel the swells, the spray and the thrills. I also could "feel" the chills and shivers at seeing Jason's injury. You (at least on camera) handled it very well sir. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with those of us who don't sail and will never get to experience all this ourselves.
Of all the new boats currently being run in by CZcamsrs, you guys seem to be the best off!! Just perfection on your island mooring, despite the damaged finger!!
Agree 100% this boat is way better than SLV and the seawind of ruby rose for sure.
Wow - adrenalin I guess! Thanks again for letting us be your silent crew!
The weather & ocean really threw everything at you, and yes, you are both so gracious to keep smiling, because you both must have been under quite a stress load. It was great that Jason didn't get sea sick.
Loving seeing you back on the sea with your new baby. Take care.
20:28 "Just beautiful" says the pro who gets shots like this regularly among many, many shots. And cool new wet suits!
impressive photography, great music. your videos are entertaining and interesting. you make me want to be there. so congrats on your new boat. congrats on your achievements and thank you for doing what you do in this channel.
Love the beautiful underwater video. You guys are living the good life.
I love what you show because as sailors we know that is how it is! Onward and upward and finish that cold oatmeal.
I wanna take this moment to thank you two for giving me the blessing of seeing other parts of the world. But most of all thank you for sharing your life and emotions. The years I've followed you has been such a blessing. I know that sounds old fashion, but you blessed my life that's what I know.
You are both looking so much better than a few months back, obviously the sailing, sun and sea water are having the right effect on your spirits. Once again, congratulations on your patience it has paid off and now you have a spectacular floating home.
It’s lovely to see you two out sailing again. Watching you sail is like seeing an old friend after a long absence. I think I (and we, your viewers and fans) are just as excited to see you out in the blue water as much as you probably were and are. Thank you for the honest assessment of your new boat and thank you for the lovely underwater photography. It’s one of the reasons I watch your videos-you do so well at capturing the moments. Welcome back to the wind and water, Wynns! It’s good to have you back!
Guy's... wouldn't it be totally boring without all the unexpected ..... isn't that why we do what we do!!??... 77 yrs old sailing since 18...cruising Mexico to Alaska and all points in between...I still love it!!!!.…..cheers Tim... Sv Archangel laying Thom's Place..Wrangell Alaska,..,.thanks Starlink!!!!
I'm so happy that you two are sailing again. Thanks for letting me and so many others live vicariously through you. Safe sailing.
There's never been a dull moment with Nikki
That is a gorgeous boat and she looked like she was handling in a very impressive manner with some rather gusty winds. Gonna take some getting used to as you two shared with us in Jason's small mishap. So happy for you two, I think a boat of this quality is commensurate with the two captains on board. Just a class act guys, congratulations. Looking forward to more episodes as you two break this boat in........... or as the boat breaks you two in, however you choose to look at it. Thanks for sharing, what an exciting vessel!
Congrats guys with your amazing new boat,she is probably going to be the best one on the water
HH outdone themselves making her
Cdn. Dave
Loved how you both kept so upbeat after getting injured, "Shark bait" with a smile. I have zero sail boating experience and it doesn't look easy, but watching you two, makes me want to go live on a boat for a while just to learn the ropes.
Being the parent, I can see the joint and excitement that is comparable in both of your eyes. Amazing journey! Amazing you! Fairwinds!
No apology necessary. Safety first. Steep learning curve. Enjoy. You both always deliver fabulous videos. Blessings. 🌺
Great video! Love living vicariously through the two of you ❤️
Love the episodes where you show a bit more sailing! Loving your new boat.
Sailing and diving in exotic locations. What a life!! What an adventure!! Love the new yacht!! Can't wait for the next video!!
She is such a beautiful boat, I really just can't imagine how you both must feel sailing her, after the long and stressful wait while she was being built. She is so clean and shiny everywhere, so open and filled with light!
Yeah. My favourite CZcams people. By far! ❤
I can’t quite put my finger on it but there was something I was going to say. It’s on the tip of my tongue. Oh yeah, accidents do happen and it’s no good pointing the finger. 😂 ouch 😩
So glad you two are back diving !! Looking forward to following more adventures!! Can’t believe I’ve been following since before the pandemic- like 5 years at least. You had the cats
Congratulations on the 600K mark. You guys deserve it, your a blessing.
Of all the sailing channels I am enjoying your content the most right now. Love the new boat and the zero clickbait videos you guys did on the build.
I agree with you. Nicki and Jason have class not like some of the CZcamsrs on other channels.
I’m happy for you guys. I like the fit and finish of your new cat. Fair winds and calm seas.
The boats a tub
@@WeAreOpen24-7can you explain your views I am curious?
Loved the shot of Curiosity at sunset with the green lights on. She's a beauty! Great video, as usual.
You two have definitely stepped up your sailing game! Thank you so much for sharing everything with your fans!!!
nice to see you back in your element! Can't wait to view more of your travels and adventures in the new boat. So impressed with the speed of the boat and the way it cuts through the water.
It’s so hard to wait two weeks for your content! Love what you’re doing be safe and thank you!
Ah, the joy of learning a new boat! Rig looks a lot more sporty than a furling code and main. Gorgeous boat, you will get to know her likes and dislikes quickly! Safe travels!
Very fun episode. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks for taking me along again. Fair winds and gentle seas. 😊
Beautiful Boat! Beautiful Great Couple! You 2 had the perfect boat built! Enjoy be safe! You both are tiring! But after you get to know this boat like curiosity #1. Then can relax! Watching I get anxious at moments then it's all perfect! So love your channel! So envious !Living the Dream! Congratulations!❤️
When Nikki mentioned Palmerston, I first thought of the one in New Zealand. I used to listen to an Internet radio station from there, but haven't been able to find it in years. It had a fresh really Kiwi sound that I enjoyed. Plus it triggered fond memories of being in Kiwiland.
Speaking of music, Nikki: great selections and supremely masterful editing. (Or does Jason help on those too?)
There's no need to apologize. prioritizing safety. steep learning curve. Have fun. You two consistently produce amazing vids. Greetings.
After recently bingeing your first time sailing Curiosity 1, I can’t help but notice the similarities. It’s been a hot minute since you lived aboard full-time. Don’t worry about filming your usual NatGeo sailing seascapes, safety first. You always deliver quality content even when anchored. Get those sea legs firmly in place, film what you can, and take us along with you. It will all work itself out. Fair winds and following seas and much love and appreciation for all your adventures 🌊🙋🏻♀️🏔️💕
I take that back, This is the best video and I will re-watch over and over. I have never sailed but watching this truly gives you the moment as best as you can without actually being there. Great Job!!!
Try a”Sailing La Vagabonde”. A great sailing utube video series too.
@@VickieP-kh8zeI’m not sure I agree! One is family oriented and Nicki and Jason professional videographers.
@@jodymooney255 La Vagabonde videos are pretty awesome. I’m learning how to sail from Riley by watching.
@@VickieP-kh8zeagain has no concept of safety and the new boat is a complete blow out. Any HH boat is at least twice as good as the rapido just watch the pathetic shake down episode and blew a motor and they still have over heating issues. Just a day sailer boat.
@@VickieP-kh8zeif you are learning from him I think you should reevaluate and get professional assistance. Reiley has no concept of boat safety and thinks he is above so many boating regs.
I've been following a few sailing channels that have all got their new boats over the past 6 months. IMO your boat is the best, not just in looks but you can see the time and effort you guys took to make sure it all works, from the sailing, electricity regeneration and interior. Well done and happy sailing.
Top comment and I fully agree this HH is best by far in every department. May not be as fast as SLV but can be easily handled by 2 people unlike the new SLV boat which clearly needs a crew (male) of 3 +.
The two of you are so fortunate to have achieved your success and are well matched as well. Yes, you have earned the platform with lots of risk and hard work... What you are doing can not be easy. Comparatively, you guys are an equal, in so many ways, to the Nautistyles/Nautiguys channel. Both young women are the stars, but remember, "it takes two to Tango," so hats off to both men for their huge contributions. We viewers and subscribers are fortunate as well. Thank you.❤
“GO THE WYNNS” 💚💚💚
Nikki & Jason,
you two are SO Beyond Brave & Inspirational.
I💚GoneWithTheWynns
Best of Wishes & Amazing Beautiful Safe Sailing
Blessings from Aussie Kylie 💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💙
Yeah! Sailing again just two of you, we are sooo happy to watch this!
👍🤩💝I loved watching. Sorry Jason injured his finger. Apo Reef is beautiful. It is a coral reef system in the Philippines situated in the western waters of Occidental Mindoro province in the Mindoro Strait. Encompassing 34 square kilometres, it is considered the world's second-largest contiguous coral reef system, and is the largest in the country. Thanks for sharing your journey. Safe travels. 🙏💝
You rethemed! I like it. Has a National Geographic look at the end with the new logo. Nicely done.
Y'all really are great! Of all the sailing you-tubers, your style is best, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing your experiences with everyone, stay safe and please keep them coming!
The camera shots of the boat pushing through the waves was crazy. That last anchorage was beautiful.
I have watched you intermittently for over 2 yrs. Resume and lost my dad and my husband on the same day, then my uncle 2 weeks later, and I haven't worked in 2 years due to injury illness post covid as an ICU we're in. Blah blah blah we all have a problem. My point is every time I watch you I feel like I'm where you are and it gets me out of this dungeon of a bedroom for a bit. So thank you. I've never been on a boat like that and I live in South Florida and grew up in Southern California 😅 brings me ❤joy to watch you on the sea... every ending is a new beginning
I absolutely love, love, love your videos. I get to live this life through you both. Thanks, enjoy.
Looks like you guys picked the right boat and great decisions on its components. Now you begin the confidence building stage. Thanks for bringing us along. Exciting!
Hello Wynns! I was just thinking that we’ve watched you guys now for like idk, 4 years or more, and have enjoyed your content all the time. So happy you have your new boat and working through the bugs and gaining trust and familiarity with her. As I said long ago, that my wife and I always had a goal of retiring on a 42’ ketch and getting lost in the Caribbean but life sometimes changes course and brings us to unexpected ports and we find other happiness. I have two grown kids now with their own families and our grandkids!!! We also have two of our own who is in his senior year of HS and my baby girl is a sophomore. They keep us way busy with sports and top grades, etc, and we are still working. I just wanted to tell you both how much we love and adore you. You both are always positive, cheerful, no drama, no politics, but rather just a happy family living your dream. We so enjoy living vicariously through you, so thank you for all of your hard unending work of editing, creating and sharing your journeys. Stay safe, and blessed and we are always with you!
Such a fabulous Cat, thanks for the adventure today! ❤
@4:20 the most important thing "be safe"
Rocking and Rolling! How great boat life is! Yeehaw :)
That boat!!! Perfection as much as a vessel can be! So happy for you.
You think in the early part of the video where you're experiencing the "wind keep changing," I'm betting that your newer and lighter performance boat is building up that apparent wind, and the AWA starts moving in front of you. Probably will take some getting used to!
Even on our Lagoon 440, in 12 kts TWS at a 80 degree TWA, we can VERY QUICKLY hit 18-19kts AWS and 45AWA. Then we crash into some big wave and slow down. My first thought is always "man, the wind is shifty today!" Only to eventually realize what is actually happening. Constantly trimming and pumping the sails! It's fun, until it starts to get rough!
Enjoy the new boat! - SV Saguaro
Im so happy for the two of you, and it feels like you're back in business. Congratulations and thanks.
I quite enjoyed that, thankyou. I know nothing about boats but you have piqued my interest and are showing me a whole new world. Your happiness is so infectious. Love from Australia. XX 💖🦋🌏
Curiosity looks wonderful with her mainsail (?) up.
Absolutely stunning sail, watching you calmly guide her to that atoll.
I've followed you for a few years and this is what we all waited for.😁😁😁😁
Loved the video. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs
I'll be watching the long happy, sails with you both xxx ⛵⛵❤❤🪸
CONGRATU.LATIONS XXX
OMG, you made it to Apo Reef!!! That's an amazing place! We stayed overnight (10 years ago it had a permanent military/warden presence) and it was tough to get there from land (a local family adopted us and helped us). ❤❤❤
What a throughly exciting passage, that was so much fun.
Seeing you two enjoy really tickled my heart. ❤❤
It's so wonderful to see you two sailing and exploring once again. Nikki, your sail design was brilliant. Jason, trust your nail decides to stay attached. The smiles and happiness show it all. And OMG the reef was spectacular. My heart swells that you are at it again and bringing the beauty and reality to us so that we may share in the wonder of it all. 💞
You guys never cease to amaze me! Lovely, break in to the Real Deal! I am so glad you are finally enjoying your Beautiful New Vessel aka Curiosity II! Thank you for the adventure, lovely Sunsets, and Knowledge!
What a beautiful sail, on a beautiful boat, with a beautiful couple. Safe travels y'all!
The sails, the boat, so gorgeous. I just love that it's electric and the layout just feels so inviting and open.
It’s okay we are just happy to have coffee with you on Sunday.
The reacher sail is a beauty! Actually, everything about the new Curiosity is eye candy. Wonderful video. Love the raw sailing footage. Looking forward to many more Wynn adventures!
Wow. I love watching y'all sail. So many "unknown variables" which confirms me as a land dweller and day sailor or protect Bay cruiser.
The boat is amazing. Show us the dishwasher, cleaning oatmeal😄 Blessings for safe travel, healed wounds and calm hearts.
Best. Video. Of. The. YEAR!!!
Yay...back into the world exploring!! Worth the wait and happy for you both!! Congrats! ✌️💜
I love seeing you both out on the water again, it makes my soul happy!!!
“You live and you learn and you get really good injuries while you’re at it!” Take care you two! Gloves Jason, next time! Cuts from barnacles on slime lines can get nasty.. love watching your films. You would smile through a hurricane and laugh through a storm 😂 Which makes me that remember that quote. Life is not about trying to avoid storms. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. This seems to be how you live your lives. Bravo. X
❤ I imagine having your dream finally.
I like when the music matches the mood. Good job.
This is why I like this channel. Love the watching you sail. Beautiful video. Thank you!
The beginning of the video with Nikki narrating put a big smile on my face. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning.
Let's gooooo.
Missed you guys last week ✌️
Wynn’s I’m sorry but I have a complaint…30 minutes is just not enough video for me and I’m sure I speak for a lot of subscribers that I could easily watch you guys for hours. I so very much enjoy your videos and the time just flies by. Looking forward to all the new adventures on the new boat. Over/Under 20 sundowners on video for the year? Cheers 🍻
I'm the same way!! I've been watching them for years..I could watch hours!!
Love that you’re back sailing. Totally understand flushing out the new boat. Film when you can, we all enjoy your channel.
The vibe of this video- I have missed it so much. First one like this in a couple of years on your boat. Been here since you made the transition from the RV. The time on Ticket to Ride was super special, but back on your own boat, doing your thing again is special.
That is one cool boat Nice one 🙂🇬🇧✌️
