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

Yes please- we'd like to hear your rationale for registering in the Marshall Islands. We are thinking of doing the same but would like to validate our assumptions.
Yes, please.
How does your SAR work if registered in a place like Marshall Is.? As I understand it, if you activate your EPIRB, the signal gets routed to the SAR authority in your country of ships registration, and they co-ordinate rescue resources, even if you are not in their territorial waters. Does that happen with the Marshall Islands?
Merchant ships are built overseas regestered in countries like Panama Marshall Islands , which are flags of convenience for tax puposes, etc Much of the crew is foreign (Which makes it harder for guys like us who want to work on an ocean ship, no lakers) That is a broader response since the WYNNS are all American :) But, it all has to do with less regestration requirements, taxes, et
Please tell.
I also read that you are able to have two boats with the same boat name, provided the boat is registered under a different registering authority. Great that you are finally back on the water, may your adventures satiate our curiosity too!
Yes, please a video on why boats register home port in marshal islands, or wherever...... Thanks
Yes, I’d be interested in this too, please
me too👍
@@sallybowman1581 -- yes, maybe property rights are actually respected in these Island Nations as opposed to the _Modern West!?!_
Yes please do that. We are interested too. 😊
@@sallybowman1581 same same?
personally Ill never own a boat but watching you guys for 15 to 30 minutes a week gives me all the joy's of ever owning one, I'm so thankful for what you have to offer , you have given so much back to the boating community !
Agreed 👍
What was the total cost of your build?
I'm a confirmed Charter sailor. The commitment reinforced by every contorted turn of the wrench, that I know I could never do myself. But your freedom of movement and ability to be where you want to be, even though biological warfare tried to intervene.
Nice boat, have a grand time showing the nicer side of the Stars and Stripes folks to many new friends worldwide, just like we see here. Fair skies and following seas,
C
You two have more guts than a slaughter house. Going from a $500K vessel to a $2 Million vessel, with all the new systems and technologies would be overwhelming for most sailors. Screaming along at 8 knots just lost it’s place on the SOG scale. I applaud your bravery and look forward to watching your new adventures.
HH built you an awesome boat!
I have seen people have problems for 2 years on a new build.
HH has it together.
I do wonder how different their experience is due to the high visibility, but this is a leading edge build and it is VERY impressive to get so much right!
"Infant mortality" is commonly the biggest quality problem on such high end builds.
Who’s that had problems with there build
@@joeldelamirande5792 the new leopards and the Neil's have majore issues. Look em up
On hull #3... that is impressive.
Easily the best sailing show on Web...Congratulations Curiosity and Gone with the Wynns.
I was wondering about your registration change, too. I'd love to learn more about the reasons the Marshall Islands is a frequently used location. Maybe if you feel it's too much for 1 specific video you could make some little segments that could be added to your main video.
And again, Super, Mega, Ginormous CONGRATULATIONS on your new floating home! I hope she brings you many #Wynning adventures!!
I cried as well when Jason said on the last video “ I never dreamed I’d own a boat like this”. I have been lucky enough to have a dream realized as well. I’m so very excited for you two and can’t wait for the tour.
It took a lot of compromise and acceptance to get where they are.
boats are a pain in the butt
The Anker Nebula projectors are the best options if you want a projector you can use on the beach, they've got batteries and internal memory space for movies. Not super high end but the high end ones that are portable are ridiculously expensive.
Nikki, a solution for your mini movie theater: 1) Projector: Contact Riley and Elayna over at "Sailing La Vagabonde". They showcased a marine-portable projector worthy of consideration. If you see a Rapido-built orange trimaran somewhere around the So.China Sea, it's probably them. 2) Screen: I suggest making this out of a 4 ft x 8 ft x 1/8-in sheet of UV-stabilized polycarbonate (Lexan, Makrolon, etc. -- available from sheet stock industrial plastics suppliers even H/H might know of). Cut to fit, then sand the projection face using 400-800 grit fine sandpaper to have an evenly diffuse surface, then hinge this to the ceiling along one long edge. To stow, use an adhered velcro grip to hold it flush with the ceiling. This is simple, waterproof, and easy to clean when doing a deck wash. Save any leftover sheet stock for other possible boat projects.
Blessings, S/V Windwalker
Re the projector, we have a Nebula Laser projector. It’s small but powerful, and puts out a great picture. It also stores away really well into a small space. For the screen we did a pop-up screen rather than a pull-down screen that needs to be hung or mounted. When we sail or race our house, all the home-stuff, including the projector screen can be stowed and it’s light. We got fourth in a double-handed race just today! And tonight we’ll celebrate with a movie on a big screen!
Congrats! 🎉🎉

Wanted to recommend the Nebula Laser Capsule as well. I've been impressed with their projectors and own the larger portable 4k laser model, but for the sailboat I think the Laser Capsule would be great.
Drop down Movie night: Glue Metal or Neodymium magnets, paint ceiling color. Get projection screen, get it to magnetize to all those key places, get a good quality projector and enjoy movies. Get bug screens, window covering to keep dark. Enjoy!
Yeah, when it comes to projectors - ambient light is going to be a big issue. So high Lumens + resolution + Hz + price range?? I dunno.
Watching from my motorhome in the AZ desert wilderness. You two are my Sunday ritual. I am so happy to see how relaxed and calm you both are out on the water again. I can just feel your stress floating away!
Send video!
I would love to hear about why you registered in Bikini, AND bikinis! (make sure to use lots of visuals!) Super stoked for you guys right now. It's been one long journey, but a new one is just beginning! Safe sailing! Cheers
You know bikini atoll was among other islands there where they were testing nuclear bombs after ww2. I watched a series on those islands, and all metal objects and coconuts and plant life is still full of radiation. So be careful where you go and what you eat, fish. Pull it up on the internet.
I highly recommend the mini nebula capsule. It’s in a tough metal case. It’s small (pop can size) and I’ve taken it all over the world with me. Has all the streaming apps on it. You don’t need a screen for it if you have a light or white background. You can adjust screen size from iPad size to 100 inch screen. Great quality picture and decent sound. I bought a jbl flip to go with it if you like that bass. I did get a roll down screen from Amazon that you can mount anywhere or you can use a bed sheet. It mounts to a tripod or you can put on a surface with a rubber drink holder.
You might want to consider a portable spandex projector screen for your projector. This product is super light, inexpensive, and can be packed into a very small size. You can easily attach using suction hooks, then remove them when not in use.
Having spent my childhood on sailboats, I derive a sense of living vicariously through your adventures. Safe travels.
Such a great idea!!
A great suggestion and very cheap. They can buy the size and make a fold away frame themselves.
Hello Jason and Nikki, I figured I'll put my two cents in on projectors. I can't say for marine grade, but I currently use a Epson Home Cinema 1060 and from the years that I have had it haven't had many complaints. The only suggestion is if you go for a projector always keep a spare lamp bulb for it cause they can blow without warning sometimes.
You two are oozing joy. That's what a positive attitude gives in bucket loads. Curiosity is perfect and you are both deserving of her beauty and capabilities ... happy cruising.
I've been following you both and being a Patreon for over 5yrs. I'm really happy for you both and I can't wait to see all the new adventures that you bring us. The boat looks amazing, and it will make your life at sea much more comfortable. I really wish you both all the very best on your new adventures.
So happy to hear you've been here! Long time Filipina fan here! Good winds and safe travels always!
Big contrast to what Ruby Rose 2 whent through their first weeks!!! I have always felt that HH is top notch 😊
Despite what they think RR are very green.. The new boat emphasizes this.
Definitely interested of hearing the registration things!
Amazing boat and the regen is impressive!
Congradulations on your new boat, its refreshing to see nothing in your attitudes changed! Your a great couple that i enjoy watching. Another couple building a motor yacht changed in my opinion, the wife acts real too good now, so you guys are great
You guys inspire sailors everywhere! Love the channel
Thank god this turned out to be a new boat happy experience. I don’t think I could have taken another Sailing CZcamsr ‘new boat unhappy’ episode like Nick and Terysa’s! I think your experience is a testament to the depth of planning and thought you’ve put in to the decisions you made. Well done - you deserve your happiness - and I’m as envious as hell! 😂
I am so glad for the two of you getting your new home. I know how you guys delt with 2 years. You two need to hug each other as such a wounderful thing came together for you. Buy the way this is Don the old guy. Don sends!!!!!
So happy for you guys. This was a long time coming and it's great to see you finally getting back into things.
Yes for Marshall Islands. So happy the HH Is working out!
You already are super chill and super fit!! You have handled all of this so well. Congrats on your beautiful boat!
So far, loving the new boat. 1. Am wanting to know about the makeup (or make) of the mattresses, 2. Love the idea of the induction cook top. A) do you like how it cooks? B) how do you hold pots steady in rough seas? C) You fought over whether or not to get a dishwasher, and moaned about the price, 1. does it work well, 2. Was it worth it?
We make the mattress here at HH. It is a plastic spring mattress so they can bend to be fit inside the cabin doors and they will not rust. Highly breathable memory foam on the top. It's the highest quality mattress we can provide and they come standard on all of our models. Thanks for asking. We will let the Wynns comment on your other questions, although the pots are held in place by a mat (that's all that is needed)!
Thanks for that @HHCatamarans! I was curious about the mattress as well.
As for the rest, Nikki and Jason have been cooking on induction since RV days, and love it. Cats don't heel as much as monohulls, so keeping pans in place isn't too difficult. I have seen videos with Nikki cooking where she sticks a silicone mat under one side of the pot to help hold it still when the boat's rocking. You can also do that to help regulate heat under the pan. More about why they love induction can be found here: czcams.com/video/ZkEtbyka7KY/video.html And I'm sure we'll get a report on how the dishwasher's performing soon!
Curious Minion
as a mattress maker i always make them 25mm narrower both sides and at the top to solve the sheet problem you're having. well worth the effort to have the foam walls sliced down and recut the cover
think about this idea: if you make overhead, installable surfaces in the Workshop, technically you will get another bedroom there. temporary, not as comfortable as usual, but much more comfortable in comparison with the upper "sleeping" places or even "external" ones
Take a look at the Viewsonic M series Pocket Cinema, I have the M1 and it is amazing for a small projector, and it is small enough to just slip into a ZipLock bag when not in use to protect it from the elements.
Congrats guys!! It’s a beautiful boat!!
I’m a watching from Annapolis, Maryland USA… it’s all over the news about a retired couple from the USA who were sailing in the Caribbean, whose catamaran was hijacked and they were killed, so please be careful.. I thought of you both when that was all over the news..
Take care 🙏🏼
Personally i would be more concerned with all the violence that is happening in America at the moment. What happened to the couple in the Caribbean was really sad to hear, but it's not an everyday event. The amount of shootings, car jacking, home invasion, mass shooting and the list goes on makes sailing in the Caribbean very safe.
@@spacewalktraveller1 ....Really? How many sailing yachts are on the ocean total. Maybe 50,000 ? In the Carribbean, maybe 5,000 ? Now, how many people live in the USA... 250,000,000 ? The ratio of violence is much, much lower in America, per capita. Stop spreading unfounded drama and false information.... and definitely STOP watching FOX fake news.
@@HappyBuddhaBoyd Actually there are over 330 million people in the US, not 250 million, please don't tell me you live in the US and don't know the population. Can you please let me know where you got the Numbers of 50,000 yachts in the world and 5,000 in the Caribbean. Just in Europe there are about 6 million boats kept in European waters and there are about 10,000 mariners that provide about 1 million berths, fact check on European Boating Industry (EBI). Note, that is just in Europe. Do you know there are about 195 countries on planet earth and about 8 Billion people live on planet earth
The US has the highest homicide rate for developed countries and has for decades. It's much higher than other advanced nations, please fact check this. No I don't watch FOX news either and never have. It does sound like the news you watch, is really feed your mind with rubbish, and not facts or figures.
Now Happy Little Budha, you may want to go and stand in the Mirror and ask who really is spreading false information, and you may just realize if you have any self awareness, that you are projecting yourself onto others. Please stop spreading false information. I wish you all the very best.
I have been the owner of so many projectors. My favourite is the Dangbei Atom. It's bright, has all the apps, can run a VPN, and being a laser projector you can use it in some ambient light too. It does all the focusing and picture adjustments all on its own. The Epson Duet screens are portable and pack up small.
Thank you. I know it was a dumb question but thank you
I want to hear your Bikini Atoll Marshall Island reasoning. I think I know but, I want to be sure. I hear there was one hell of an ALAKABLAM there not too long ago. Do they accept asylum seekers? "RMI citizenship recognized by other nations". Not a trick question, perked my curiosity as you two often do. We all know you will record during this week you desperately need by yourselves.
We will never say no for Jason to show us how things work. Bc we get more bang for are buck with Jason doing extra work.
If Jason is working on that video, he has less to stress about bc he's keeping his mind fresh. You can thank us for exercising your brain parts so you don't get alzheimer's when you get old. Your mind will be fresh as daisy's. ..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was having trouble spelling alzheimer's had to ask Google to spell it... OMG i need some brain health!
Love from Missouri, Chris
Another great video! Having a team of people on board with you to perform a proper commissioning and checkout is always nice. Was really "apparently" nice about the team is that everyone seem to get along great and that makes the experience even better. Right now I am green with envy seeing folks on the boat sailing. Keep up the great videos and I will be trying to watch all of them.
Big congratulations! So happy for you both!
Yup! SO happy to see you on a boat again. Congrats.
The new boat is absolutely beautiful. Congrats!
naturally when your moored...the wind is great........
Luv your new boat,and can't wait to see the boat tour. Again Congratulations.
Your new boat looks amazing...
I am really happy for you, followed you since an episode about roof air-condition, and then you sold the trailer. As a long-term sailor myself, were running a family office and do insurance, investment and .. flag registration. Actually, do not understand your choice for this flag, although BIKINI sounds nice, it sets the tone. I hope you enlighten us. Marshall Islands have been blacklisted in the EU for tax. Its expensive and has recurring costs. Which similarly applies to some other flags (BVI for example) I see only one advantage which only applies for registration under a company and thats protection against foreign governments, but it seems a paper advantage. For those looking to register, Flags to consider in My opinion are e.g. Poland and Langkawi Just a professional opinion. On the boat. I am really happy for you both, finally you have the dishwasher... HH did a good job, so it seems. For the size I think it's an okay boat. I wonder how the resonance of noises will be, given the building materials. Indeed, that engine sound did come across really load, lets hope another prop solves some of it. Do consider putting noise reduction material on the sides of your engine rooms. And last but not least take your time, you.ve been very busy... enjoy it, film later. Best,
Drop a note on your calendar for a year from now so you can do another "impressions" video ;) Truthfully, you guys seem incredibly rich (actually even on your old boat) which makes it difficult for me to relate straight across. No envy, just different. Our 50 ear old mono-hull is still a wonder for us and in this part of the world (Georgia Strait) there are really no moorings for cats anyway. So enjoy your new home.... see ya next week.... Practice saying "Salamat" (thank you) if I say more I will spell them all wrong :P but you guys will probably pick up Tagalog faster than I can even living with it for over 20 years.
WOOHOOOOOO!!!!
So happy for you two. Here’s to many more sailing adventures. Congrats. ❣️
Congrats! Can’t wait to see what adventures you two get into with your beautiful new boat!
So excited that your new boat is so amazing. Yes, take a week and take care of yoursleves.
I am so happy for your guys. Enjoy your new SV.
great to have you guys back out on the water, can't wait for the tour

So happy to see you back on the water! Happy sailing and I look forward to coming along from snowy cold Canada!
Congratulations on the new boat. Best wishes and safe sailing.
Congratulations! So glad to see you guys finally back on the sea
I have done a lot of research on projectors and projector screens, because contrast really affects the picture quality, and you will not be in a pitch black theater - PLEASE be sure to get a dark grey projector screen with a bright projector. It's the best combination for imperfect environments (anything other than a pitch black room).
Congratulations guy she looks fantastic looking forward to the boat tour
So glad your back in your beautiful new boat..
Look forward to all your adventures xxx
Love matching your shirt with the boat! Incredible color all around
WOW that is one great looking boat . Can't wait for the walk about you both look real happy
You guys look great on your new boat - congratulations! So nice to see you back on the water.
