Congratulations! A new chapter begins. Although you don’t see us, many people have been with you for years. Since the days of RV life when one day, you announced that you wanted to become seafarers. We were with you then with words of encouragement and we’re still here with you now. The boat is amazing. Looking forward to the adventures to come. We’ve never met, but you do feel like friends.
It's amazing to witness the level of commitment this manufacturer (HH) has to their customer. You can tell how happy and even emotional they were when delivering the product. This isn't something you see very often around here.
I don't know you, and I'll likely never meet you, but here I sit with happy tears in my eyes as I'm watching you "unwrap" your new boat. I think that says a lot about the both of you and the effort you put into your channel. Thanks for sharing!
Dear Jason and Nikki. Although I am writing personally I know I speak for all the team at HH Catamarans. We are so very proud of the boats we build and it is always hard to express this passion we have to the world. It is wonderful to have such an amazing couple take our dream and concept, make it your dream, allow us to make it reality, and then share it with the world in such a beautiful way. Watching this video made me proud and smile all the way through. Throughout our construction journey together we have all had to tough it out at times when it doesn’t always go to plan, but the quality is always remembered, cost and tribulations become distant memories. As a client you have truly embraced the cruising ideal, as a builder I am over joyed with the outcome for all of us. Fair winds and calm seas dear Wynns, you have made life time friends here in China, your adventures will bring you plenty more. Take care. Paul, James, Hudson, Seth and all your friends at HH.
Curious Minion here, letting you know that I've copied this & sent it to them personally to make sure they see it. They're over the moon with their beautiful new home. Best, Curious Minion
I cried when the firecrackers went off! Is HH and their customer support not WORLD CLASS! Good on HH. Happy boating Jason and Nicki and God Bless you and your new boat with many years of safe happy sailing around the earth❤
Two years, amazing videos, stories, and adventures. Throughout it all, your subscribers stayed with you, and we look forward to where the seas take you now. That says so much about you and the community you have created. Congratulations
I am so happy for you, I guess this thrilled so many people who watch you constantly, I watch all of your videos. Just loved that you loved China. I went round China in buses and trains and loved it. I'm 77 now so I guess its to late for me to buy a boat so I have to live it through you. Thankyou Phil
Spectular VIDEO...I think you have captured the elements of hurry up and wait, checking, rechecking, discovery, breathing, relaxing, and settling in a single video...with good food thrown in. The new areas on a new boat to shoot video are being explored with great sound and music...10 out of 10 experience for the viewer...and most of the things we worry about never happen...10 out of 10 for the crew and you. Best Luck for the next portion of your life's experience and the Curiosity that goes with it.
They have 2 things (and a bonus) gong for them that you can attribute to their compatibility 1), No kids 2) Lots of Money. Bonus...... They have a camera and only show the good stuff.
My intention was to complement what I consider an admirable example of mutual love and support. Spouting negative and clearly speculative bitterness is counterproductive.
Maybe has something to do with Jason commenting on how beautiful the view is as he pans from some epic horizon over to Nikki looking out at it. 💕❤️😍❤️💕
My parents had this kind of relationship until dad had a series of strokes a few years ago in his 70s. They just respected each other and enjoyed each others company. And they worked together all day too then would go out to a restaurant after work together and talk for hours. Your relationship is what you make of it, and if you respect each other there is no reason why it should ever go downhill.
These two clearly love each other very much. It’s hard to be with anyone 24/7. Obviously, we don’t get to see the times nobody wants to videotape, so I’m sure there’s arguments like every other married couple. But it is a special relationship that they have and a unique life that they live.
I can't believe how excited I am that some internet strangers picked up their new boat! Thank you for taking us along on this entire amazing, beautifully filmed and narrated journey :D
Jason was on his morning watch and he said “Two years…” emotional to hear that. Can’t imagine how you feel! Looking forward to watching your next adventures. Congratulations. 🎉
In this increasingly mad dystopian world where we witness so much horror and things that we know are increasingly unpleasant your video felt like balm to the soul. It felt warm, friendly, calm and beautiful. indeed, out of all the videos that I have watched from you both over the years I think this moved me the most. I think all of us knew just how much it meant to you to get this brand-new cutting edge boat that you’ve waited so long for actually on the water. it certainly didn’t disappoint The sails looked absolutely beautiful. The interior design, looked clean and fresh and ultramodern. Thank you for allowing us to share your wonderful adventure.
Leaving China is sad. I am doing something similar. Spent 12 years working for Shangri-la and Treasury Wine Estates and still own a consulting company in Shanghai. I fell in love with China and during the last few years I have discovered and fallen in love with sailing by watching your channel and a only a few others. Congratulations and looking forward for seeing your future. I am currently focusing on my businesses in the USA and still have an apartment in Shanghai. Best wishes to your launch,, fortune and good luck via the fireworks
This" Grumpy Old Man " had a huge smile on his face as the start of your new adventures were about to begin. May calm seas and fair winds take you both safely across the world seas. Good wishes and all the best happiness as you embark on continued adventures in your stunningly beautiful. New yacht. Cheers!!!!!!!
Around 23:00 when it hits Jason that it's finally, truly done, and they're on their new boat and making a passage; that was a really sweet moment of genuine joy and wonder. Thanks for sharing it. :)
Nikki and Jason, Congratulations to you both!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your lives with my wife and I. We have been watching you guys for a very long time. Way back when you were in the RV. We are so proud of you for accomplishing everything you have. We have only dreamed through you both. And again thank you for sharing. We look forward to following your journey. Our Prayers are always with you both.
The boat is a stunner. It is a huge step up from the recent seawind launch in terms of modern electrics and sailing performance. Not to mention the finish of the boat. Wow what a prestigious new home.
You didn't have to explain how you felt. The glow on your faces said it all. I had tears in my eyes. And toasted you severel times (I had a nice Italian) I am so happy for you.
I cried tears of happiness for you, As i watched this most excellent dream come true... Please continue to take us with you... and again THANK U !!!!!!
I can't believe how excited I am for 2 people I don't know. We have been waiting so long to see you sail again. Looking forward to the tour of your new beautiful home.
Not gonna lie, I shed a tear or two watching you finally take off in your beautiful new boat. It’s been quite a journey. I’ve been following you since you were first on House Hunters and I can’t wait to see where Curiosity takes you-and us-in the coming years. Congratulations!
Just spent three years renovating a 36 year old sailboat, including converting to electric propulsion. So, very much appreciate the enormity of your accomplishment and the absolute beauty of your new home.

Watched the launching of both Ruby Rose II & La Vagabonde III 60ft Trimaran and I can say without doubt that you're launching, and first sail was by far the best experience of all! Your prep, planning and team work really showed and I'm so happy & proud of you two! I been a viewer since the van days. I remember like it was yesterday you two sitting on grass near the airport breaking the news of your first boat purchase, The learning curve of your first boat and learning to sail and of course your buddies Cleo & Singa🙏. All the adventures you have brought to all of us is special and a real human bond! Iam a follower for life and happy to be one. God Bless and smooth sailing ahead my friends TC Boyle, Ahwatukee Arizona USA
agree, the delivery experience and over all product seems leagues ahead here so far, which is surprising considering how many boats seawind has launched i would've thought they'd be more well polished
This 100 percent! What a crazy thing to see Ahwatukee here in the comment section too. DV grad from way too long ago now, and how cool is it to cross internet paths with my hometown through the Wynns. Good luck and fair seas from Monterey, CA!
@@thechadwick22 You want crazy, I moved to Ahwatukee from Castro Valley CA 35 years ago, and used to spend my week ends in Santa Cruz, Monterey and Carmel Valley where my parents had a home! It's a small world and we're only separated by "Six Degrees of Separation,"! Big Smile 😊
Nikki, we always appreciate the care you take before going on camera--hair & make-up & outfit--you always look like a million bucks! But at 1:48 into this video, you look the most beautiful we've ever seen. You ROCK the "sans-make-up" look better than anyone! "Real" people make the world go round, and you made that the truth in today's video. Thank you for showing the stress, the hassle, the relief, the madness, the calm, and this entire adventure. Your real look makes us love & appreciate you more than ever. You're the best!
I'm so happy for you two. I'm over here crying and smiling from ear to ear. This has been such a long time coming. Congratulations. The 45 minutes is a great watch for me. Knocked it out of the park with this one. Can't wait for all the new details with how to and how not to. Enjoy your enthusiasm and big smiles. Can't wait.
I so agree with so many comments, I want to say that it has been 2 years but really feels like 4 years considering the pandemic and Curiosity 1 being trapped in Tonga - all this has been building towards this beautiful vessel! I had to wipe away tears more than once! Nikki cooking aboard, Jason practicing being solo but having the backup in this 'shake down 2.5' (at least in my books) are so cool to watch. Eventually y'all will be alone on this great home on the seas ~ FINALLY! It is truly such fun to watch, and I appreciate you bringing us along!
Watching Jasons night time talks while underway again is wonderful! I've always loved viewing them. Seeing the stars and luminescence in the sea was pure magic. Looking forward to your adventures on your beautiful new boat.
What a fantastic shakedown passage. I appreciate Nikki's honesty. Describing the first days on the boat as feeling foreign struck me as so real. So many creators would be nothing but overstating how wonderful everything is. I think it is this honesty that attracts me to this channel.
Wow it’s real at last. A wonderful journey to this point - thanks for the ride so far. The HH44 is a gem and suits you both so quickly. The dishwasher made me chuckle also. What wonderful weather for your debut sail. Golden memories. Go well and fair wynns always…..
I remember the first time I found your channel, and yall were just learning how to sail. Boy, have y'all come a long way!! Im so happy for you both, it been a long wait but I'm sure it was worth it. I wish I could do this type of thing, but I was injured at work and am disabled. So I hope you don't mind if my wife and I live vicariously through y'all!!😅😅. Congratulations on the new home, and fair winds and safe sailing. We can't wait to see where you travel to next, and all the new exciting adventures that await. Congratulations again, love you both!!! Be proud, you've followed your dreams, and brought them to life!! 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊❤❤🍾🍾🍾🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jason, here's a tip for when you are pouring out of a 5 gal bucket with a spout. It's common to want to put the spout on the low side. But if you will rotate the bucket 180 degrees and put the spout on the high side, it won't surge or "glug". It will pour smoothly and you will find it much easier to control the flow.
Not only that, but with the spout on the high side, you get to tilt the bucket pretty much right at parallel to the ground before it starts pouring, which seems like it wouldn't matter but makes it so much easier to hold steady, especially when it's full.
But the fall of the oil from the bucket into the funnel is increased by the width of the top of the bucket, making a miss more likely. Frankly, on a boat at sea, I don't know which way is better.
I’m not a sailor but found your channel during early covid. My wife and I have grown so fond of your story and your life on the sea. It’s imperative for you to know how your story carried us through difficult times. So as you return to your life on the water just know that we love your channel and appreciate you. I’m a softy so yes I shed a tear of joy for your new home finally being ready to go. Safe travels and best wishes.
That big sail looks like the planking on a Viking ship. Freaking beautiful! Congratulations to both of you. I can't believe how much you have grown yet how much they have stayed the same, if you know what I mean. I have been watching you from your first video and still can't wait for your next. Thanks for the journey.
I smiled ear to ear watching this video and yes a little emotional as you set out on the brand new chapter! I am so happy for both of you! I know the goodbye's are always bitter sweet! Loved the video, the music choice was spot on! I smiled even more seeing the loading of the dishwasher! Can't wait for the tour! Well Deserved you two! Well Deserved!! Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Right at the 24 minute mark with the sunrise and the build of the music and the idea that y'all aren't homeless anymore after two years, and I started to get emotional for you. Congratulations, I'm so excited and envious.
What a wild week! It was all A LOT to process in a short amount of time. Moving in, our final days in China 🥹, checking out of the country and our first ocean crossing. I still don't think we've processed all that has happened. 🙏🏼Thanks again to AG1 for sponsoring this video.

I am so happy for you guys and utterly envious of your phenomenal new boat. I've been sailing for 64 years and at last have found the boat of my dreams (if only I could afford it!) HH have done an outstanding job in so many aspects of the boat, with great attention to detail and outstanding finish. Fair winds and happy sailing!
Oh man, congratulations, Wynns - I could not be happier for you both! I’m so impressed with the whole HH organization… their employees are all so professional but also interesting, kind, and positive humans. If I were in the market for a sailboat, I would have this company at the top of my list! Also, your initial voyage experience was really so calming. Love it! Watch La Vagabonde’s maiden voyage on their new trimaran if you need encouragement because theirs was… uh… not like this. 😳 Nikki: your guests were SPOILED by your lovely meal planning - they will never leave! 🥰 And finally, to Jason: I seriously teared up on your behalf when I saw the dishwasher. 🥳🥳🥳 Wishing you both continued success as you learn your new home!
I've been watching for a long time. We have all been waiting for 2 years and are with you all the way. Its been awesome to be a part of your world journey. Thank you
A big congratulations. The boat is a beautiful piece of art. It looks great, and I really love the color that you chose. The team at HH have done an amazing job, well done. I really looking forward to your new adventures, wishing you all the very best.
This is how you launch a new boat, you both take everything in your stride without any drama and make it all look so calm which I am sure it isn’t. So pleased you are finally back to sailing and wish you both all the best in your future travels, may the winds always blow in your favour.
Jason and Nikki, congratulations! I truly don't know how you both kept it together while your beautiful boat was being constructed. I would have lost it a long time ago. Thank you for taking us along with you on your maiden voyage. We love you.
I will watch this video over and over - so uplifting and joyful. There may be moments of turmoil but your sense of gratitude and appreciation is paramount. Thank you.
I really like the little ceremony with the officials in full dress uniform. So oddly formal for a business transaction, but so fully suitable for the moment considering how much both you and the HH crew have put into this boat. It's no small investment, and it deserves an official send off because this boat has responsibilities of its own. She has to carry you guys safely across the world, and I have no doubt she will.
I think the uniformed people were customs officers not HH staff. Still nice to see the customs officers in formal wear. I agree though it made for a nice send off.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is one beautiful boat and not just a new chapter in life, but a whole new book indeed! From the early days of RV life to learning to sail on your first boat and now first sail on your dream boat, what a wonderful journey to experience and share with us, thank you! I couldn’t be more happy and excited for you guys! I think you guys have one of the best channels on CZcams and I look forward to watching your videos every week and can’t wait for all the new adventures with your beautiful new floating home! Cheers from Texas!
Congratulations. I think I cried the whole way through this episode. Im so so very happy for you both to begin this new Chapter in your new home on the Waves.
Simply the best CZcams video I’ve ever watched. Thank you, Nikki and Jason, for taking us along…it was emotional and inspirational, and your love for each other and your life together was so wonderful to see. Great camera work and editing….don’t know how you pulled it off with so much else going on, but wow!
We have been watching you guys since we started full-time RVing in 2016. You were part of the reason that we started to full-time RV. And now that we’re back in a sticks n bricks home (after being to all 50 states), we continue to enjoy your journeys. As we sit comfortably in our home watching this video, we were both “giddy” with excitement for your next chapter in life! This has been a long wait for you two, and we can’t imagine how thrilled, relived, and giddy the two of you are both feeling! All we can say is bon voyage and have fair winds and following seas!
Whoop, Howdy, Geehaw! Y'all are finally 'At Sea" I cried tears of Joy for you as you embarked on "Your Exit Stage Left From China"! How Exciting, Finally you are back in the Groove! Gosh, it seems like forever; yet it has all been worth it. Having the patience, fortitude, and positive attitudes, for your Joyful Voyage into The Future! God Bless, keep being Vigilant, Watchful, and Looking up. Love the Night Sky pics! Good Job Wynn's, Mission Complete!
I am 5 minutes in and I have a smile that reaches from one ear to the other one. I have never been this excited to see someone get a new home or anything before. I don't think I got this excited when I bought new houses for myself.
I have watched the three first sails of Ruby Rose 2, Vagabon2 and you guys. The staff at al three boat yards were wonderful, hard-working and friendly. Yours has been the calmest video to watch. Well done Wynn's.
I agree with the above comment, my favorite new boats in order are Curiosity because it looks so cozy, RR2 is very beautiful but needs some color, and then Vagabon 2 has too much color, it makes me dizzy, but I love the leather seating
Congratulations! We have all been waiting with you. I’m surprised how emotional I felt when they lit off the fireworks, to me it was symbolic of cheering and an official end of waiting. Beautiful and enjoy!
Wanted to add a second comment about your HH family! It’s been great watching how well they have taken care of you to make this experience the best it could possibly be! Mad respect for them! ❤
Being a Filipino-American I’m so excited for your very first stop on your maiden voyage on your new boat (and home), the Philippines! So happy and excited for the two of you! May God bless you and keep you! Enjoy the Philippines and specially the Filipino people!
I can’t tell you how excited I am to see you guys back on the water. I’m very thankful for the videos while you were out and about and exploring the world! You guys are wonderful at sharing your stories. All I can say is thank you thank you thank you. God has blessed you with his perfect timing. Your boat is beautiful. I’m so excited and can’t wait to see all the rest of the stories.
Yes, it moved me to tears too. I think it’s because we knew how long they’ve been waiting and just how much it meant to them and also they feel at home on the water. They are where they belong.
For me a middle child it felt like how, how can we leave the others there. One challenge in nomadic life is the great connections we make and then break, not to be felt again for years if at all. Pandemics are hard emotionally because of that disruption. These sailors likely experience an emotional pandemic annually if not more often. I'm grateful to the scientists, for our great communication devices, phones, internet, to help soften these times. Good speed Wynn's!
You two went from one lifestyle to another more chaotic lifestyle and now back to a “more calm” lifestyle. The transition from one to the other and back is massive change. Cherish all of your experiences and remember to love yourselves and one another. Life is so beautiful when there is love.
There really are no words. But Congratulations on completing the long long journey of ordering a new boat and finally receiving such a new and beautiful designed vessel. 🎉
So happy to see you back out at sea. We only really watch one channel while we are on our own journey and you are it. So impressed with this hull design but even more, how you can so beautifully capture your experiences through the lens. Inspiring.
As nice as it may have been, had you been able to simply purchase the exact boat you wanted and sail off into the sunset, without all the setbacks and waiting, I'm not sure you would have experienced nearly as much joy. You almost certainly wouldn't have accumulated nearly as many amazing memories as you both have in the past two years. I honestly don't believe we are here to have an easy, comfortable life. This life is meant to be a grand adventure.
Congratulations, you have been waiting a long time for this new chapter of the 'Wynns' adventure to start and I for one am looking forward to what you get up to in 2024. ⛵❤
I'm envious and also very happy for you both. That said, having watched your boating adventure for a few years now I have seen how much time, energy and I'm sure money has gone into making this moment possible. My father taught my brothers and I how to sail and love the sea, taking many sailing trips to Catalina Island and up and down the California and Baja Coast, and in the Sea of Cortez. As an adult I never found my way back to the water. So I live vicariously through your journey. Thank you for sharing it all and congratulations! I look forward to all the chapters to come. 🥳🤩
Congratulations! You guys deserve a great future on your new boat. And the fact that you picked my favorite color doesn’t hurt either. I wish you both safe travels! Jason hasn’t stopped smiling through the last two videos so I’m happy for him and hope he can rest his cheeks for a little bit.
I can't believe it's been two years. Great to see you back on the water in your own boat. The poking your funnel through a shop towel to prevent spills and splatters was the tip of the week.
OMG she's absolutely gorgeous! It's been a long time coming and hopefully for you worth the wait. We wish you calm seas and following winds. See you all soon somewhere in SE Asia? Much love ❤🎉
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I loved this video. The send off was amazing. Those small details that the company puts into their product will help them succeed. How awesome that they came in on a Saturday to help you. Well done!!!!
I can't believe it's been 2 years. My god time flies. Plus all the things you've done without a boat. Can't wait for the voyages in the new boat. Oh ! I've mist the name of today boat?
Congratulations the new chapter in your lives begins on your beautiful boat. It’s been a long, long journey and more than a little frustrating at times. You guys have been amazing and entertaining throughout this period. Now we want to see you enjoy your life aboard sailing to amazing destinations. Calm seas and fair winds!
Absolutely GORGEOUS boat inside and out! ❤ You must be over the moon. Did you ever think 10 years ago that this is where you'd be in life?! Congratulations 👏
Oh you guys! I had tears of pleasure- I could really feel your experience of it all - flippin' awesome! What a beautiful boat, the best of the pack and what a great testament to HHH. The biggest congratulations 🥰🤩☀⭐🪐
So excited for you two! It's not always about a new thing, but the hard work and planning that went into it, how amazing it turned out, and all of the future opportunities and memories it unlocks. I'm excited for all of us too! While the last couple of years have been fun (you always make great content), I'm sure I can speak for many of us that we are very excited to see your next adventures. Fair winds!
I am so happy for the both of you! And also so jealous!! Retired from US Navy for over 20 years and I so miss being underway and having all my senses overwhelmed by the sea, and no stranger to those waters! Enjoy your time together at sea, there is no better life or adventure! Congrats!!
I remember clearly that when you guys started your "boat building journey" you said that the boat will be finished in or around the June, July or August time frame..... Nevertheless, you've got it now and MAN-OH-MAN, what a GREAT boat you've got now! "I" personally believe it was well worth the wait! I can't wait to see all the goodies you've got to show us all about your new home over time. I didn't want this video to end. NOW, hopefully, your subscriber base should shoot WAY up now that there's another character in your content, the "Curiosity" I believe it's safe to say that we are ALL so HAPPY to see you both out on the open seas! Also..... If at any time during the "taking ownership" of your new home a subscriber didn't start to tear up, that person hasn't been watching for all that long! MAJOR CONGRATULATIONS Jason and Nikki!!!!
Congratulations! A new chapter begins. Although you don’t see us, many people have been with you for years. Since the days of RV life when one day, you announced that you wanted to become seafarers. We were with you then with words of encouragement and we’re still here with you now. The boat is amazing. Looking forward to the adventures to come. We’ve never met, but you do feel like friends.
Right there with you!
I 100 % agree
100 percent
Amen!
Indeed! It’s been a great ride. 👏
It's amazing to witness the level of commitment this manufacturer (HH) has to their customer. You can tell how happy and even emotional they were when delivering the product. This isn't something you see very often around here.
I don't know you, and I'll likely never meet you, but here I sit with happy tears in my eyes as I'm watching you "unwrap" your new boat. I think that says a lot about the both of you and the effort you put into your channel. Thanks for sharing!
Dear Jason and Nikki. Although I am writing personally I know I speak for all the team at HH Catamarans. We are so very proud of the boats we build and it is always hard to express this passion we have to the world. It is wonderful to have such an amazing couple take our dream and concept, make it your dream, allow us to make it reality, and then share it with the world in such a beautiful way. Watching this video made me proud and smile all the way through. Throughout our construction journey together we have all had to tough it out at times when it doesn’t always go to plan, but the quality is always remembered, cost and tribulations become distant memories. As a client you have truly embraced the cruising ideal, as a builder I am over joyed with the outcome for all of us. Fair winds and calm seas dear Wynns, you have made life time friends here in China, your adventures will bring you plenty more. Take care. Paul, James, Hudson, Seth and all your friends at HH.
Curious Minion here, letting you know that I've copied this & sent it to them personally to make sure they see it. They're over the moon with their beautiful new home.
Best,
Curious Minion
Do you guys make power cats?
I cried when the firecrackers went off! Is HH and their customer support not WORLD CLASS! Good on HH. Happy boating Jason and Nicki and God Bless you and your new boat with many years of safe happy sailing around the earth❤
Two years, amazing videos, stories, and adventures. Throughout it all, your subscribers stayed with you, and we look forward to where the seas take you now. That says so much about you and the community you have created. Congratulations
IKR. They actually got me through the pandemic 😷 😂 Their content rocks 🎶🎸🎥💕
I am so happy for you, I guess this thrilled so many people who watch you constantly, I watch all of your videos. Just loved that you loved China. I went round China in buses and trains and loved it. I'm 77 now so I guess its to late for me to buy a boat so I have to live it through you. Thankyou Phil
The company that's built your boat have really done you both proud, may you have many happy years in her.
Thanks for the longer format video. The 45 minutes is a great watch for me. Knocked it out of the park with this one.
Yes! Enjoyed the longer video! Been waiting with you and feeling your anxiousness! So happy for you!❤
I’m crying. Why I’m crying? I’m so happy for you both. I can’t believe it’s been 2 years . I wish you both happy, healthy and safe adventures.
Spectular VIDEO...I think you have captured the elements of hurry up and wait, checking, rechecking, discovery, breathing, relaxing, and settling in a single video...with good food thrown in. The new areas on a new boat to shoot video are being explored with great sound and music...10 out of 10 experience for the viewer...and most of the things we worry about never happen...10 out of 10 for the crew and you. Best Luck for the next portion of your life's experience and the Curiosity that goes with it.
I like the modern look but the old boats with all the old wood still hold my heart.
After so many years, it's really nice to see a married couple consistently getting along so well. Very admirable.
They have 2 things (and a bonus) gong for them that you can attribute to their compatibility
1), No kids
2) Lots of Money.
Bonus...... They have a camera and only show the good stuff.
My intention was to complement what I consider an admirable example of mutual love and support. Spouting negative and clearly speculative bitterness is counterproductive.
Maybe has something to do with Jason commenting on how beautiful the view is as he pans from some epic horizon over to Nikki looking out at it. 💕❤️😍❤️💕
My parents had this kind of relationship until dad had a series of strokes a few years ago in his 70s. They just respected each other and enjoyed each others company. And they worked together all day too then would go out to a restaurant after work together and talk for hours. Your relationship is what you make of it, and if you respect each other there is no reason why it should ever go downhill.
These two clearly love each other very much. It’s hard to be with anyone 24/7. Obviously, we don’t get to see the times nobody wants to videotape, so I’m sure there’s arguments like every other married couple. But it is a special relationship that they have and a unique life that they live.
I can't believe how excited I am that some internet strangers picked up their new boat! Thank you for taking us along on this entire amazing, beautifully filmed and narrated journey :D
@33:30, a good wind moves the sailboat; a good cook moves the crew.
You know it! 👊🏻
well said :)
Jason was on his morning watch and he said “Two years…” emotional to hear that. Can’t imagine how you feel! Looking forward to watching your next adventures. Congratulations. 🎉
In this increasingly mad dystopian world where we witness so much horror and things that we know are increasingly unpleasant your video felt like balm to the soul. It felt warm, friendly, calm and beautiful. indeed, out of all the videos that I have watched from you both over the years I think this moved me the most. I think all of us knew just how much it meant to you to get this brand-new cutting edge boat that you’ve waited so long for actually on the water. it certainly didn’t disappoint The sails looked absolutely beautiful. The interior design, looked clean and fresh and ultramodern. Thank you for allowing us to share your wonderful adventure.

Nikki's cooking....! The crew were so lucky! Nikki, you always put 110% in everything you do.
2 years of what seemed like forever to where in the heck did that 2 years go....... Congratulations we all made it!!! 🎉❤🎉
Leaving China is sad. I am doing something similar. Spent 12 years working for Shangri-la and Treasury Wine Estates and still own a consulting company in Shanghai. I fell in love with China and during the last few years I have discovered and fallen in love with sailing by watching your channel and a only a few others. Congratulations and looking forward for seeing your future. I am currently focusing on my businesses in the USA and still have an apartment in Shanghai. Best wishes to your launch,, fortune and good luck via the fireworks
This" Grumpy Old Man " had a huge smile on his face as the start of your new adventures were about to begin. May calm seas and fair winds take you both safely across the world seas. Good wishes and all the best happiness as you embark on continued adventures in your stunningly beautiful. New yacht. Cheers!!!!!!!
Around 23:00 when it hits Jason that it's finally, truly done, and they're on their new boat and making a passage; that was a really sweet moment of genuine joy and wonder. Thanks for sharing it. :)
Nikki and Jason, Congratulations to you both!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your lives with my wife and I. We have been watching you guys for a very long time. Way back when you were in the RV. We are so proud of you for accomplishing everything you have. We have only dreamed through you both. And again thank you for sharing. We look forward to following your journey. Our Prayers are always with you both.
The boat is a stunner. It is a huge step up from the recent seawind launch in terms of modern electrics and sailing performance. Not to mention the finish of the boat. Wow what a prestigious new home.
Before I even start watching this video, I'm so excited to see it's 43 minutes! Two glorious cups of coffee worth of the Wynn's!
😁☕👍👍
LOL…I’m brewing right now! 😀☕️

You didn't have to explain how you felt. The glow on your faces said it all. I had tears in my eyes. And toasted you severel times (I had a nice Italian) I am so happy for you.
100%
I cried tears of happiness for you, As i watched this most excellent dream come true... Please continue to take us with you... and again THANK U !!!!!!
I can't believe how excited I am for 2 people I don't know. We have been waiting so long to see you sail again. Looking forward to the tour of your new beautiful home.
Not gonna lie, I shed a tear or two watching you finally take off in your beautiful new boat. It’s been quite a journey. I’ve been following you since you were first on House Hunters and I can’t wait to see where Curiosity takes you-and us-in the coming years. Congratulations!
Just spent three years renovating a 36 year old sailboat, including converting to electric propulsion. So, very much appreciate the enormity of your accomplishment and the absolute beauty of your new home.
So tell us more about your endeavour if you please? I want to do same

Watched the launching of both Ruby Rose II & La Vagabonde III 60ft Trimaran and I can say without doubt that you're launching, and first sail was by far the best experience of all! Your prep,
planning and team work really showed and I'm so happy & proud of you two! I been a viewer since the van days. I remember like it was yesterday you two sitting on grass near the airport
breaking the news of your first boat purchase, The learning curve of your first boat and learning to sail and of course your buddies Cleo & Singa🙏. All the adventures you have brought to
all of us is special and a real human bond! Iam a follower for life and happy to be one. God Bless and smooth sailing ahead my friends
TC Boyle, Ahwatukee Arizona USA
agree, the delivery experience and over all product seems leagues ahead here so far, which is surprising considering how many boats seawind has launched i would've thought they'd be more well polished
@@mrmrsreid8698 I agree... I was really surprised at all the problems Ruby Rose II went through. Seems they had the worst of the 'NEW" boat blues!
This 100 percent! What a crazy thing to see Ahwatukee here in the comment section too. DV grad from way too long ago now, and how cool is it to cross internet paths with my hometown through the Wynns.
Good luck and fair seas from Monterey, CA!
@@thechadwick22 You want crazy, I moved to Ahwatukee from Castro Valley CA 35 years ago, and used to
spend my week ends in Santa Cruz, Monterey and Carmel Valley where my parents had a home! It's a small world and we're only separated by "Six Degrees of Separation,"! Big Smile 😊
Of all the boat builds I’ve followed over the years, your new boat is the classiest design and decor I’ve seen so far. The interior is so stylish!
Nikki, we always appreciate the care you take before going on camera--hair & make-up & outfit--you always look like a million bucks! But at 1:48 into this video, you look the most beautiful we've ever seen. You ROCK the "sans-make-up" look better than anyone! "Real" people make the world go round, and you made that the truth in today's video. Thank you for showing the stress, the hassle, the relief, the madness, the calm, and this entire adventure. Your real look makes us love & appreciate you more than ever. You're the best!
I'm so happy for you two. I'm over here crying and smiling from ear to ear. This has been such a long time coming. Congratulations. The 45 minutes is a great watch for me. Knocked it out of the park with this one. Can't wait for all the new details with how to and how not to. Enjoy your enthusiasm and big smiles. Can't wait.
I so agree with so many comments, I want to say that it has been 2 years but really feels like 4 years considering the pandemic and Curiosity 1 being trapped in Tonga - all this has been building towards this beautiful vessel! I had to wipe away tears more than once! Nikki cooking aboard, Jason practicing being solo but having the backup in this 'shake down 2.5' (at least in my books) are so cool to watch. Eventually y'all will be alone on this great home on the seas ~ FINALLY! It is truly such fun to watch, and I appreciate you bringing us along!
Watching Jasons night time talks while underway again is wonderful! I've always loved viewing them. Seeing the stars and luminescence in the sea was pure magic. Looking forward to your adventures on your beautiful new boat.
☕+ new ⛵= a good Sunday morning.
What a fantastic shakedown passage.
I appreciate Nikki's honesty. Describing the first days on the boat as feeling foreign struck me as so real. So many creators would be nothing but overstating how wonderful everything is. I think it is this honesty that attracts me to this channel.
Wow it’s real at last. A wonderful journey to this point - thanks for the ride so far.
The HH44 is a gem and suits you both so quickly. The dishwasher made me chuckle also.
What wonderful weather for your debut sail. Golden memories.
Go well and fair wynns always…..
I remember the first time I found your channel, and yall were just learning how to sail. Boy, have y'all come a long way!!
Im so happy for you both, it been a long wait but I'm sure it was worth it. I wish I could do this type of thing, but I was injured at work and am disabled. So I hope you don't mind if my wife and I live vicariously through y'all!!😅😅.
Congratulations on the new home, and fair winds and safe sailing. We can't wait to see where you travel to next, and all the new exciting adventures that await.
Congratulations again, love you both!!! Be proud, you've followed your dreams, and brought them to life!! 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊❤❤🍾🍾🍾🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jason, here's a tip for when you are pouring out of a 5 gal bucket with a spout. It's common to want to put the spout on the low side. But if you will rotate the bucket 180 degrees and put the spout on the high side, it won't surge or "glug". It will pour smoothly and you will find it much easier to control the flow.
😮
That’s right. Works so much easier/better
Not only that, but with the spout on the high side, you get to tilt the bucket pretty much right at parallel to the ground before it starts pouring, which seems like it wouldn't matter but makes it so much easier to hold steady, especially when it's full.
But the fall of the oil from the bucket into the funnel is increased by the width of the top of the bucket, making a miss more likely. Frankly, on a boat at sea, I don't know which way is better.
yeah that doesn't work on a boat underway. you just use a bigger funnel.
I’m not a sailor but found your channel during early covid. My wife and I have grown so fond of your story and your life on the sea. It’s imperative for you to know how your story carried us through difficult times. So as you return to your life on the water just know that we love your channel and appreciate you.
I’m a softy so yes I shed a tear of joy for your new home finally being ready to go. Safe travels and best wishes.
That big sail looks like the planking on a Viking ship. Freaking beautiful! Congratulations to both of you. I can't believe how much you have grown yet how much they have stayed the same, if you know what I mean. I have been watching you from your first video and still can't wait for your next. Thanks for the journey.
That is the ultimate compliment and so good to hear you feel that way! Thank you!
I smiled ear to ear watching this video and yes a little emotional as you set out on the brand new chapter! I am so happy for both of you! I know the goodbye's are always bitter sweet! Loved the video, the music choice was spot on! I smiled even more seeing the loading of the dishwasher! Can't wait for the tour! Well Deserved you two! Well Deserved!! Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Right at the 24 minute mark with the sunrise and the build of the music and the idea that y'all aren't homeless anymore after two years, and I started to get emotional for you. Congratulations, I'm so excited and envious.
I am so right there with you!
What a wild week! It was all A LOT to process in a short amount of time. Moving in, our final days in China 🥹, checking out of the country and our first ocean crossing. I still don't think we've processed all that has happened. 🙏🏼Thanks again to AG1 for sponsoring this video.

I am so happy for you guys and utterly envious of your phenomenal new boat. I've been sailing for 64 years and at last have found the boat of my dreams (if only I could afford it!) HH have done an outstanding job in so many aspects of the boat, with great attention to detail and outstanding finish. Fair winds and happy sailing!
Oh man, congratulations, Wynns - I could not be happier for you both! I’m so impressed with the whole HH organization… their employees are all so professional but also interesting, kind, and positive humans. If I were in the market for a sailboat, I would have this company at the top of my list! Also, your initial voyage experience was really so calming. Love it! Watch La Vagabonde’s maiden voyage on their new trimaran if you need encouragement because theirs was… uh… not like this. 😳 Nikki: your guests were SPOILED by your lovely meal planning - they will never leave! 🥰 And finally, to Jason: I seriously teared up on your behalf when I saw the dishwasher. 🥳🥳🥳 Wishing you both continued success as you learn your new home!
Congratulations to CZcams's most affable and down-to-earth sailing/yachting couples!
❤ I agree 100%
They really are super nice.
I've been watching for a long time. We have all been waiting for 2 years and are with you all the way. Its been awesome to be a part of your world journey. Thank you
A big congratulations. The boat is a beautiful piece of art. It looks great, and I really love the color that you chose. The team at HH have done an amazing job, well done. I really looking forward to your new adventures, wishing you all the very best.
This is how you launch a new boat, you both take everything in your stride without any drama and make it all look so calm which I am sure it isn’t. So pleased you are finally back to sailing and wish you both all the best in your future travels, may the winds always blow in your favour.
I remember when Jason had no idea how to plug a hole in your RV tire...
And they have kept it classy all along :)
I remember that! 😅
Same here...
Congratulations and best of luck . Stay safe. !
Wasn’t that in Alaska somewhere?
Jason and Nikki, congratulations! I truly don't know how you both kept it together while your beautiful boat was being constructed. I would have lost it a long time ago. Thank you for taking us along with you on your maiden voyage. We love you.
I want to see you guys in the tropics.
surfing, diving away from sharks , kicking at beautiful destinations!
Can't wait!
🌴🌴🌴🤙
I will watch this video over and over - so uplifting and joyful. There may be moments of turmoil but your sense of gratitude and appreciation is paramount. Thank you.
Mee too! I watched their last one 5 times!
I really like the little ceremony with the officials in full dress uniform. So oddly formal for a business transaction, but so fully suitable for the moment considering how much both you and the HH crew have put into this boat. It's no small investment, and it deserves an official send off because this boat has responsibilities of its own. She has to carry you guys safely across the world, and I have no doubt she will.
I think the uniformed people were customs officers not HH staff. Still nice to see the customs officers in formal wear. I agree though it made for a nice send off.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is one beautiful boat and not just a new chapter in life, but a whole new book indeed!
From the early days of RV life to learning to sail on your first boat and now first sail on your dream boat, what a wonderful journey to experience and share with us, thank you!
I couldn’t be more happy and excited for you guys!
I think you guys have one of the best channels on CZcams and I look forward to watching your videos every week and can’t wait for all the new adventures with your beautiful new floating home!
Cheers from Texas!
Congratulations. I think I cried the whole way through this episode. Im so so very happy for you both to begin this new Chapter in your new home on the Waves.
Simply the best CZcams video I’ve ever watched. Thank you, Nikki and Jason, for taking us along…it was emotional and inspirational, and your love for each other and your life together was so wonderful to see. Great camera work and editing….don’t know how you pulled it off with so much else going on, but wow!
We have been watching you guys since we started full-time RVing in 2016. You were part of the reason that we started to full-time RV. And now that we’re back in a sticks n bricks home (after being to all 50 states), we continue to enjoy your journeys. As we sit comfortably in our home watching this video, we were both “giddy” with excitement for your next chapter in life! This has been a long wait for you two, and we can’t imagine how thrilled, relived, and giddy the two of you are both feeling! All we can say is bon voyage and have fair winds and following seas!
Wow that's quite a lot of ground you covered!
Two beautiful people with blessed hearts and loving smiles. So groovy to have been following you from the start.
Whoop, Howdy, Geehaw! Y'all are finally 'At Sea" I cried tears of Joy for you as you embarked on "Your Exit Stage Left From China"! How Exciting, Finally you are back in the Groove! Gosh, it seems like forever; yet it has all been worth it. Having the patience, fortitude, and positive attitudes, for your Joyful Voyage into The Future! God Bless, keep being Vigilant, Watchful, and Looking up. Love the Night Sky pics! Good Job Wynn's, Mission Complete!
I am 5 minutes in and I have a smile that reaches from one ear to the other one. I have never been this excited to see someone get a new home or anything before. I don't think I got this excited when I bought new houses for myself.
I have watched the three first sails of Ruby Rose 2, Vagabon2 and you guys. The staff at al three boat yards were wonderful, hard-working and friendly. Yours has been the calmest video to watch. Well done Wynn's.
I agree with the above comment, my favorite new boats in order are Curiosity because it looks so cozy, RR2 is very beautiful but needs some color, and then Vagabon 2 has too much color, it makes me dizzy, but I love the leather seating
100%. So nice to follow along and enjoy!
So true, calm, organised, sailing fast and well, no panic. L
Looks so professionally organised and planned. Great start to a new life.
这种出海的感觉太棒了，我还看了up说的HH造船厂的网站，非常的专业。工程师都很优秀，大多都是国外的履历。生产制造在中国应该是成本原因。
之前有看过新西兰、台湾的那种原住民就是坐的两个小船，中间加几个横担的结构的船。在现代文明之前就可以横渡大海。这个结构的船型加上现代技术应该会很棒，这应该是两个人带着两室一厅游遍全球很经济的方式了。
真的很棒的生活方式，祝他们一切顺利。
Congratulations! We have all been waiting with you. I’m surprised how emotional I felt when they lit off the fireworks, to me it was symbolic of cheering and an official end of waiting. Beautiful and enjoy!
Wanted to add a second comment about your HH family! It’s been great watching how well they have taken care of you to make this experience the best it could possibly be! Mad respect for them! ❤
Being a Filipino-American I’m so excited for your very first stop on your maiden voyage on your new boat (and home), the Philippines! So happy and excited for the two of you! May God bless you and keep you! Enjoy the Philippines and specially the Filipino people!
Happy to see Nikki happy again. It's been a rocky journey. Now it's time to learn a new vessel. Happy trails...
I can’t tell you how excited I am to see you guys back on the water.
I’m very thankful for the videos while you were out and about and exploring the world! You guys are wonderful at sharing your stories.
All I can say is thank you thank you thank you. God has blessed you with his perfect timing.
Your boat is beautiful. I’m so excited and can’t wait to see all the rest of the stories.
I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out. I’m soooooo happy for you!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤. Long time coming!
Me too! Crying when the firecrackers went off!
Let me guess- you got 10 minutes in to when Nikki and Molly were saying their goodbyes. Cause that's as far as I got before I started choking up!
The emotional experience for us is almost as much as it is for both of you. Thank you for sharing your story with us!
Yes, it moved me to tears too. I think it’s because we knew how long they’ve been waiting and just how much it meant to them and also they feel at home on the water. They are where they belong.
For me a middle child it felt like how, how can we leave the others there. One challenge in nomadic life is the great connections we make and then break, not to be felt again for years if at all. Pandemics are hard emotionally because of that disruption. These sailors likely experience an emotional pandemic annually if not more often. I'm grateful to the scientists, for our great communication devices, phones, internet, to help soften these times. Good speed Wynn's!
You two went from one lifestyle to another more chaotic lifestyle and now back to a “more calm” lifestyle. The transition from one to the other and back is massive change. Cherish all of your experiences and remember to love yourselves and one another. Life is so beautiful when there is love.
There really are no words. But Congratulations on completing the long long journey of ordering a new boat and finally receiving such a new and beautiful designed vessel. 🎉
Wow I'm really impressed by the build quality, HH are awesome. Nice to have a space X engineer on board for your first journey as well haha.
“Liveaboards again”. I felt my pulse increase! Great editing! That was the fastest 45min I’ve had in a while!
So happy to see you back out at sea. We only really watch one channel while we are on our own journey and you are it. So impressed with this hull design but even more, how you can so beautifully capture your experiences through the lens. Inspiring.
Seeing y'all's excitement is contagious! Can't wait to be shown around the boat and ALL the features.
As nice as it may have been, had you been able to simply purchase the exact boat you wanted and sail off into the sunset, without all the setbacks and waiting, I'm not sure you would have experienced nearly as much joy. You almost certainly wouldn't have accumulated nearly as many amazing memories as you both have in the past two years. I honestly don't believe we are here to have an easy, comfortable life. This life is meant to be a grand adventure.
Congratulations, you have been waiting a long time for this new chapter of the 'Wynns' adventure to start and I for one am looking forward to what you get up to in 2024. ⛵❤
I'm envious and also very happy for you both. That said, having watched your boating adventure for a few years now I have seen how much time, energy and I'm sure money has gone into making this moment possible. My father taught my brothers and I how to sail and love the sea, taking many sailing trips to Catalina Island and up and down the California and Baja Coast, and in the Sea of Cortez. As an adult I never found my way back to the water. So I live vicariously through your journey. Thank you for sharing it all and congratulations! I look forward to all the chapters to come. 🥳🤩
Wow, she’s a beauty. I don’t know much about boats, but 8.5 knots on 13 knots of wind seems really good to me!
Congratulations! You guys deserve a great future on your new boat. And the fact that you picked my favorite color doesn’t hurt either. I wish you both safe travels! Jason hasn’t stopped smiling through the last two videos so I’m happy for him and hope he can rest his cheeks for a little bit.
I can't believe it's been two years. Great to see you back on the water in your own boat. The poking your funnel through a shop towel to prevent spills and splatters was the tip of the week.
OMG she's absolutely gorgeous! It's been a long time coming and hopefully for you worth the wait. We wish you calm seas and following winds. See you all soon somewhere in SE Asia? Much love ❤🎉
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I loved this video. The send off was amazing. Those small details that the company puts into their product will help them succeed. How awesome that they came in on a Saturday to help you. Well done!!!!
Gotta love Nikki, “If you brake it you buy it, then I get a 52!” LOL 😂😂😂😂. What a beautiful boat. Congratulations Wynns!
I laughed at that too! I get a 52 😂😂😂
I can't believe it's been 2 years.
My god time flies.
Plus all the things you've done without a boat.
Can't wait for the voyages in the new boat.
Oh ! I've mist the name of today boat?
She's "Curiosity"
Curious Minion
Of course, doh.
Don't know why I thought that at the time of writing, you've been saying it all the way through nearly. 🤣 I blame stress.
Congratulations the new chapter in your lives begins on your beautiful boat. It’s been a long, long journey and more than a little frustrating at times. You guys have been amazing and entertaining throughout this period.
Now we want to see you enjoy your life aboard sailing to amazing destinations.
Calm seas and fair winds!
How about a wee little dragon decal on the transom. Bring of the Year of the Dragon luck with you!
Ohhh, I do like that idea!
Absolutely GORGEOUS boat inside and out! ❤ You must be over the moon. Did you ever think 10 years ago that this is where you'd be in life?! Congratulations 👏
I moved from Wisconsin to Colorado and I get homesick...I don't know how you become a world traveler, and do it with grace. You guys ROCK!!
beautiful sea, beautiful song, beautiful boat and beautiful people
Oh you guys! I had tears of pleasure- I could really feel your experience of it all - flippin' awesome! What a beautiful boat, the best of the pack and what a great testament to HHH. The biggest congratulations 🥰🤩☀⭐🪐
Finally we see the boat…. 👏🏻 Happy for ya’ll. We’ve waited as long as you have 😂
So the stars aligned and the Wynn’s launched. Your journey continues and we appreciate that you have included us. Safe travels.
Congrats! So happy for you two! I feel like I just found out, your show is getting renewed for another decade!!!
So excited for you two! It's not always about a new thing, but the hard work and planning that went into it, how amazing it turned out, and all of the future opportunities and memories it unlocks. I'm excited for all of us too! While the last couple of years have been fun (you always make great content), I'm sure I can speak for many of us that we are very excited to see your next adventures. Fair winds!
I am so happy for the both of you! And also so jealous!! Retired from US Navy for over 20 years and I so miss being underway and having all my senses overwhelmed by the sea, and no stranger to those waters! Enjoy your time together at sea, there is no better life or adventure! Congrats!!
I remember clearly that when you guys started your "boat building journey" you said that the boat will be finished in or around the June, July or August time frame..... Nevertheless, you've got it now and MAN-OH-MAN, what a GREAT boat you've got now! "I" personally believe it was well worth the wait! I can't wait to see all the goodies you've got to show us all about your new home over time. I didn't want this video to end. NOW, hopefully, your subscriber base should shoot WAY up now that there's another character in your content, the "Curiosity" I believe it's safe to say that we are ALL so HAPPY to see you both out on the open seas! Also..... If at any time during the "taking ownership" of your new home a subscriber didn't start to tear up, that person hasn't been watching for all that long! MAJOR CONGRATULATIONS Jason and Nikki!!!!
