It's not very comfortable (and maybe not practical for that many bites) but I've found the hot spoon trick works great on mosquito bites. Run the spoon under hot tap water (so it's not hot enough to burn, but it's uncomfortable) then hold the hot spoon on the bite. The heat denatures the protein that causes the itching and stops the itch immediately (and permanently)
I agree they're spectacular - I wonder if you watch "Itchy Boots" (a woman from the Netherlands is riding her motorcycle down the west coast of Africa) She has a video out today and the last several videos have been amazing. She too is dealing with the rainy season (in Liberia).
I’m so happy to have you back on the water. I didn’t realize that I missed how you do sailing adventures with joy and enthusiasm. I always look forward to your photography, loved seeing the bugs, who else takes pictures of bugs on vacation? Loved the flutter buy’s on the butterfly bush and of course the sunset/sunrise is mandatory. Thank you so much.
What an absolutely stunning region! So glad you got to spend your anniversary there. As a non sailor, but RVer, I think any accommodation that moves there will always be issues because of the movement. Glad you got to at least dip your toes in the water until your boat is ready. ❤️❤️
Glad to see you getting back in the ocean. Thailand and Vietnam are two of my wish destinations. But man that humidity... I live in the high desert in the western US so humidity is a non issue here. Thanks for the video and time. Sundays are one of my favorite content days because you folks deliver!
What a glorious country - or the part you visited at least! PhiPhi Relax looks like a little slice of Paradise - absolutely wonderful! OK, the bugs look like an entomologists delight, both the good and the bad. But the food, the staff (and owner), a little drink or two and most importantly - the views! Jason was magnificently enthusiastic and Nikki was the perfect guide, and as eloquent as ever. She is the Audrey Hepburn of the sailing world - and her haircut is perfect!
Totally agree that time on these things is never enough! I'd spent most summers while I was growing up at the same cottage my Dad would rent in central Maine. It was great! But it was only 2 weeks....and all 6 of us wanted more. Never got there because Dad could only take 2 weeks away from his job at a time, even though he got 6 weeks a year. Anyways, I've recently been renting a similar setup in western Maine. First time was just a week, and my sister came along...we LOVED it! But there wasn't enough time. Following years we bumped it to 2 weeks, and that was great, because of course a full weekend, but it also was never enough. Summer of 2021....my remote job and my sister not working....and cottage availability created a perfect storm. 1 full month. Of course we grabbed it. I worked from the cottage....it wasn't easy with slower internet, but it worked. Being able to take a lake swim on my lunch break....priceless! Last 2 years....medical issues have cancelled those vacations. Time away makes you apprieciate being able to be there EVEN more! Hope your new home gets finished soon! Thanks for sharing a very cool spot with us!
I am happy to see you enjoyed Thailand :) The hospitality that 'Mr. T' showed you is very common in Thailand. You will rarely find rude people here. I hope to get a better heads up next time you come to Thailand, my wife and I would love to have lunch with you two :). I am sure you get these requests all the time, though :)
I love this Thailand series! Sorry to see it coming to a close. I hope you will do more on cruising Thailand in the future. Wishing you success and happiness
So soon, so soon Nicki you guys will be sailing again! Loved the brief underwater video and the travel vlog....just love the content, and experiences you both share each post. Thank you
This is one of the few times that seeing food on a video made me hungry! It looked so good, I could imagine how it tasted. (Plus, I frequently eat Thai food). I’ll be so glad when you guys are back on your own boat again and you have a home again…
😊I lived on the beach on Koh Lanta for 6 months in the mid ‘90s. My view was Koh PiPi - some of the storms were epic. I had left by the rainy season though. Worked at a dive school so am quite familiar with those waters, even back then there were problems with reef preservation. Lovely to see an old stomping ground! The boat looked fun, what an amazing way to travel.
what a place to visit thank you so much for showing us some great places to visit and the boat wasn't too bad either apart from the leak and the fridge freezing everything as you say is not your problem it's theirs now the trouble is now you want your boat now as you have gotten used to boat life again and you are suddenly yanked away back to being a landlubber like us but you haven't got long to wait until your boat will be finished i bet since you have been away from the factory they have done great progress on your boat like fitting the engines or motors or both and wiring and plumbing and maybe starting to do the rigging we cant wait to see what progress they have made to your wonderful boat then you could do the islands yourself on your own boat now that will be awesome so see you next time from John from Rugby UK.
If you get bit by mosquitoes before you scratch them apply vinegar with a tissue or small cloth to the site for a couple minutes. It takes away the itch and the inflammation.
Yay, so nice to see you guys back on the water! Between your monologue about loving boat life in the last video and your smiles in this video, we can FEEL it! 🙏🏽
As always, the most entertaining and informative cruising videos. Your envie de vivre is infectious. Really looking forward to the new boat adventures.
My partner and I went to the Phi Phi islands 23yrs ago in our very young twenties. We stayed on the same side just below where you were. What a difference those years make! The lookout was just rocks to sit on and not much more. The view is the same, though, and it was a wonderful nostalgic walk down memory lane to get to see it again! Thanks🤗❤
Just a quick thank you to Nikki...you once gave me words of wisdom about walking cats...and my long haired black cat loves walking around the house even in the Florida heat! 🐾🌞🌴😂❤
“Its not all rainbows and sunshine!” But at least we got to enjoy your vacation with you, and Nikki got to wear her little black dress (on a paddle board no less), and Jason got to sing in the rain! It must be agony waiting for your HH to be ready. Thank you for letting us come alone on your journey.
Almost the same weather here in the Philippines, monsoon started in mid-June and lasted until September. During this season, winds are almost typical of a typhoon but will only last a few minutes with thunderstorms and heavy rain. Good luck and keep safe on your journey.
Two thing struck me, wow was Nikki 'glistening' at that stove! And, what dramatic, snazzy music for the Snorkeling piece, it was fun. Hope you guys are having a great time!
What a beautiful adventure! Thanks for sharing! About mosquitos…I’m from the Deep South and a cartoon that’s made it’s way around is of a mosquito sucking the bug spray out of a can of Deep Woods Off😂😂😂 Lol! Like it’s his favorite drink! We grow them strong down here! 😂🦟🦟 💪🏼
Another great video Nicky and Jason. Jason your still a babe at 42, imagine the stories, the video archive collection you will have by the time your 82! What a beautiful piece of Thailand, all those tropical plants, the villas, the layed back restaurant, and so welcoming. Thank goodness they survived as a business over last few years. Nicky I love my gas hob for cooking, especially if the power goes out on land. Too hot for Thailand I have to agree. ❤
You guys are just the best. Your unfailingly cheerful attitude is an inspiration - if I had been faced with those clouds of mosquitoes and buckets of water in my face at 2 AM I’m not sure I would have been quite as smiley - bless you both, and THANK YOU ❤️
Leaping boldly in where angels fear to tread, every time I see Nikki's outfit in the first part of this video, I am reminded irresistibly of the children's "play clothes" in The Sound of Music. 😉 The rainstorm on the last full day of sailing was what I expected the monsoon season to look like. Beautiful place. So glad you showed it to us.
That looked like a fun place to visit. Now that you’ve had a taste of the area you can come back to that area in the future when you get your own boat off the assembly line. It was a little funny when Jason was talking about the stormy weather and I looked outside of our Fifth Wheel window and the weather here was the same. We’re currently in the Elkhart RV park and are considering upgrading to a 45 foot motor home if all things align properly with trade-in’s and down payments are within our budget. Have fun and stay safe…
I put 4 oz of ground coffee in a half gallon jar of water and store in a cool cupboard. I use a canning jar, and have a screen that fits it, so I remove the flat lid and put the canning ring over to hold the screen so I can strain as I pour. I use it in about four days, then add 2.5oz more coffee and refill with water for another four days. Not chilled, but if it sits in a hot spot it won't keep. Cold brew is so easy I only use a coffee maker for a change now and then.
Oh Nikki I love your shorter hairstyle 🥰🥰. And your overalls too! Very cute! What a beautiful episode. So wonderful to see you sailing. Glad to see you were wearing stinger suits. I’ll have to check and see if there are irukandji in that area. How wonderful to be able to anchor off the island near the resort and paddle over for a meal and a hike. Well done surviving the mosquitoes. The view made it look worth it! I hope you guys can spend more time in this part of the world in the future once you get your new boat. Woohoo not much longer now! Xx
I've been a loyal viewer since finding the channel two months ago (the canal adventure). Your videos are always inspiring and/or informative. Looking forward to seeing you two on your new boat! p.s. Thanks for all of the binge watching of past videos I have to look forward to.
Wife and I are travelers and hate mosquitoes. We tend to spray original listerine on us and take vitamin b-1 which helps relieve the bites because the mosquitoes don’t like the taste of your blood with the vitamins in it. I believe it works haven’t had to scratch at all this summer
A wonderful video ofThailand. Really would love to go there someday. You both were smiling so much that I found myself with a big grin on my face most of the time, except where you were in the middle of mosquitoes. Looking forward to next Sunday.
I love Thailand. Probably my favorite place in the world to visit. The people, the culture, the views and oh my, The Food ❤. Great adventure. Happy Anniversary
Love your advice, a week is not enough. When we were working trips were limited by length of vacation or holiday length. Now retired travel must be planned around doctor and other commitments. I attempt to plan 12 months out for our activities but remain flexible to opportunities. Currently planning an overlanding trip to Australia and adventure trip to Japan. So many places to visit and not enough time. Thanks to your channel and other CZcams channels I subscribe to I get to learn more about places I will never be able to visit in person.
Thank you! It is such a pleasure to watch your videos and feel part of your adventures! But most of all: I am totally impressed by your relationship! You are so sweet to each other!
My last bareboat charter in a relatively new monohull in BVI we had: -non functioning bilge pump resulting n soaked food. -diesel in fresh water tank that they knew about and thought they segregated/closed off the tank. Nope- no showers or washing for a week -self furling main would not retract fully resulting in banging on mooring all night until we lashed it to the mast. As a result of that sail I met the actor Morgan Freeman by almost running him over. Our boat was blown sideways while docking in a slip, nearly rear-ending his boat. But we all had a blast.
What a fantastic and honest video. From Leopard owner to Leopard charterer - you nailed it. ❤ BTW: The Vitrifrigo on a high setting (yours was set to max) without the drip tray leads to the problem you mentioned. I'm using an AeroPress with some good Espresso roast for more than two years now (not sponsored 😉) for hot and cold brews. My favorite right now is "half a" hot brew with 7-8 ice cubes (from the mentioned, working Vitrifrigo). 🥶
That's on way to make cold brew coffee. I cold brew the entire pound in 2 liters of water for 24 hours. It yields about 1.5 Liters of coffee syrup, which I mix 3/4 or more to 8 oz of hot water for a fresh cup of coffee. I keep the syrup in a stainless steel can in the frig.
We charted a 50 ft catamaran from the Moorings out of Phuket. After the first night the air conditioning died on one side leaving two of the cabins without air. We were not that far from home base and fully expected them to come fix the issue or get us onto a different boat. Didn’t happen…..they came and rerouted the air from the salon to the cabins so we had air at night but the heat and humidity in the salon where we spent most of our time was almost unbearable. Our plumbing had issues so another day was spent working on that on our own. Fortunately we were experienced boaters so capable but to fly from California to Phuket to spend a week on a less than acceptable boat with the cost that we incurred was definitely not worth it. We did this the first week of November……the water looked beautiful but was solid with jellyfish so swimming and snorkeling was not easy. Fortunately we had planned five days at a resort after the sail and it was lovely and the people were wonderful. We have chartered from the Moorings in the Caribbean and it was delightful. Thailand…not so much.
That was fabulous as usual! Thank you for taking us along! Love Thai food! Actually is my favorite and I have never been to Thailand! Best I have ever had though was in Sydney. We eat Thai in every city we visit.
Ok Jason, your cold brew technique makes me smile. Right down to the spoon rinse. We are kindred spirits 😂. Don’t be embarrassed, you are just getting every ounce of joy out of life. 👍
I loved it, you were so entertaining! That was such a cool Spot, lovely. Oh the Mosquitos, Ugh! Jason your singing and the "I don't know where that came from..." Hilarious! That was such a sweet week escape. Congratulations on your Anniversary. You guys were made for each other! Thank You, God Bless.
We enjoyed the morning watching your adventures in Thailand very entertaining and we feel you’re doing a great job and we enjoy watching the new boat build also, it’s very fun keep up the great work.
So great to see you two out on the water again. We are in San Juan Islands about to start our circumnavigation. Heading to New Zealand and then up to Thailand ❤
I personally love Nikki's deep thoughts predilection and Jason's poetry, prose, and songs appropriate to the situation predilection. And of course the puns, double entendres....😉😂👏👏
Love seeing you back on any boat 😊. Hang in there you'll be back in your home soon. I was wondering if Niki would ever consider doing a mini series or a post on her wardrobe? Your clothes are adorable and you seem to have a bottomless wardrobe even though I know you are living out of a suitcase. And so fresh looking, I live in a house with access to a washer and dryer and my clothes still look frumpy 😂. I know that's not really the point of your channel. Just a thought but this sailing girl would really appreciate some fashion tips. Oh and Jason too of course, always looking sharp. Stay safe out there!
Hey! Curious Minion here, chiming in while Nikki and Jason are busy editing. Nikki always finds these comments a bit funny, because a lot of their clothes have been with them for years & years, and if you look closely you can see the wear & tear on them. She has previously given a couple of tips, the first of which is to buy good stuff to begin with so it will stand up to wear & tear. Secondly, since they do live out of suitcases and limited storage space, things get really wrinkled. The pro tip is to figure out what you will the following day and take it out of your closet the night before. Then hang the clothes in the shower and mist them with water in a spray bottle. Brush the wrinkles out of the damp clothes with your hand & let them dry overnight. Voila! Fresh as a daisy! This is an old traveler's trick from way back and I can personally confirm that it works, as crazy as it sounds. This topic is one that's requested fairly often, so maybe we'll get more tips some day. Hope this helps in the meantime. Curious Minion
Looks like the rainy season caught up with you! Love the video. Having been to the area many times - this make me nostalgic. Now we want to go back! Keep up the great work!
27:27. Spectacular! Your journeys are the best. Most everything is warm weather based. Thank you so much. Choice of music also commendable. Stay safe and God Bless.
Haha, I also have a “ritual” when I make my freshly ground beans in my ESPRO 7 French Press. I LOVE my ESPRO. The double filter and silicon seals ensure you don’t get any grounds. And you can also get a filter for tea! 👍
Nikki on the paddleboard in a black dress.... that is confidence. Nice job guys.
The humidity makes Jason do wild things,like singing 😂😂
Fergie, Milkshake😊😊
It's not very comfortable (and maybe not practical for that many bites) but I've found the hot spoon trick works great on mosquito bites. Run the spoon under hot tap water (so it's not hot enough to burn, but it's uncomfortable) then hold the hot spoon on the bite. The heat denatures the protein that causes the itching and stops the itch immediately (and permanently)
Do you have to catch the bite immediately, or will that still work after they got back to the boat?
@@littlebitofhope1489 In my experience, as long as it's itchy, the spoon trick works.
@@rjtumble Thanks!
making a note of this, thank you!
Usually I wake up to a plethora of vids to watch on Sunday. The Wynn's are the only ones who didn't disappoint today. Thank you. ❤❤❤
I agree they're spectacular - I wonder if you watch "Itchy Boots" (a woman from the Netherlands is riding her motorcycle down the west coast of Africa) She has a video out today and the last several videos have been amazing. She too is dealing with the rainy season (in Liberia).
@@kddidit08was aopaaaWA 8a8o8ooi⁸z8szzzz88zozO⁸ aaz aa8
Yes ,
I do appreciate when u are able to warn us of no video. Then I'm not disappointed on a Sunday ritual
@@kddidit08 never heard of her. Will check out, ty.
I’m so happy to have you back on the water. I didn’t realize that I missed how you do sailing adventures with joy and enthusiasm. I always look forward to your photography, loved seeing the bugs, who else takes pictures of bugs on vacation? Loved the flutter buy’s on the butterfly bush and of course the sunset/sunrise is mandatory. Thank you so much.
It’s the Wynns! 🎉⛵️
👋👋
Great start to Sunday Morning!
What an absolutely stunning region! So glad you got to spend your anniversary there. As a non sailor, but RVer, I think any accommodation that moves there will always be issues because of the movement. Glad you got to at least dip your toes in the water until your boat is ready. ❤️❤️
Glad to see you getting back in the ocean. Thailand and Vietnam are two of my wish destinations. But man that humidity... I live in the high desert in the western US so humidity is a non issue here. Thanks for the video and time. Sundays are one of my favorite content days because you folks deliver!
Yay! We have the joy of sailing with the Wynns.
I love how much y’all love life! Can’t wait to see you guys sail Curiosity 2.0❤
What a glorious country - or the part you visited at least!
PhiPhi Relax looks like a little slice of Paradise - absolutely wonderful! OK, the bugs look like an entomologists delight, both the good and the bad. But the food, the staff (and owner), a little drink or two and most importantly - the views!
Jason was magnificently enthusiastic and Nikki was the perfect guide, and as eloquent as ever. She is the Audrey Hepburn of the sailing world - and her haircut is perfect!

"The best boat in the World is your friend's boat." That's hilarious Nikki, I'd never heard that one before lol!

If you get bit by mosquitoes before you scratch them apply vinegar with a tissue or small cloth to the site for a couple minutes. It takes away the itch and the inflammation.
A baking soda paste works even better.
Yay, so nice to see you guys back on the water! Between your monologue about loving boat life in the last video and your smiles in this video, we can FEEL it! 🙏🏽
Avon: Skin So Soft. Best mosquito repellent I’ve ever used. Really fantastic stuff and good for the skin too.
Johnson & Johnson baby oil LOTION works very well at repelling skeeters too.
As always, the most entertaining and informative cruising videos. Your envie de vivre is infectious. Really looking forward to the new boat adventures.
My partner and I went to the Phi Phi islands 23yrs ago in our very young twenties. We stayed on the same side just below where you were. What a difference those years make! The lookout was just rocks to sit on and not much more. The view is the same, though, and it was a wonderful nostalgic walk down memory lane to get to see it again! Thanks🤗❤
What a cool time, and the view from the top! Awesome - thanks guys for your awesome capture of your experiences on your life's journey
Just a quick thank you to Nikki...you once gave me words of wisdom about walking cats...and my long haired black cat loves walking around the house even in the Florida heat! 🐾🌞🌴😂❤

One of life’s nice people, don’t you two ever change 😊
Thailand is my favorite place I've ever been! So fun seeing your perspective exploring
Good to see you sailing again!
Great video! Papaya salad, panang curry and pad Thai is literally how I order every Thai meal.
Can’t wait to see you on your new HH!
Another amazing adventure thanks to both of you looking forward to seeing you again and a big gday mate from Australia and cheers 🥂

I've been a loyal viewer since finding the channel two months ago (the canal adventure). Your videos are always inspiring and/or informative. Looking forward to seeing you two on your new boat!
p.s. Thanks for all of the binge watching of past videos I have to look forward to.
I use a small induction stove to prepare the veggies when I do my canning. It makes a big difference

Let's go, let's go, let's goooooo,
Good morning ✌️
It's so good to see you guys on a boat ⛵!
Love your advice, a week is not enough. When we were working trips were limited by length of vacation or holiday length. Now retired travel must be planned around doctor and other commitments. I attempt to plan 12 months out for our activities but remain flexible to opportunities. Currently planning an overlanding trip to Australia and adventure trip to Japan. So many places to visit and not enough time. Thanks to your channel and other CZcams channels I subscribe to I get to learn more about places I will never be able to visit in person.
I get so much joy out of watching your adventures. Thank you for sharing and for just being yourselves ❤️
Wonderful, great fun and God bless you Mr T at Phi Phi relax beach resort for looking after our friends, Jason and Nikki Wynn xx🤗🤗
love the shorter hair Nikki! Probably feels great in the heat!
Thank you! It is such a pleasure to watch your videos and feel part of your adventures! But most of all: I am totally impressed by your relationship! You are so sweet to each other!
Just finished cleaning the bathroom. It was perfect timing for a break and a video. Hello from Deland Florida everyone.❤
Hello from Venice Florida
Wow! This was a great video! I really love seeing more of you two on the boat, sailing & Nikki cooking. Cheers! ~M
The cold brew is easy to fix. The difference is that instead of using heat to extract the oils and flavours, you use time while chilling it.
Wynn then church. Great Sunday!
My last bareboat charter in a relatively new monohull in BVI we had:
-non functioning bilge pump resulting n soaked food.
-diesel in fresh water tank that they knew about and thought they segregated/closed off the tank. Nope- no showers or washing for a week
-self furling main would not retract fully resulting in banging on mooring all night until we lashed it to the mast.
As a result of that sail I met the actor Morgan Freeman by almost running him over.
Our boat was blown sideways while docking in a slip, nearly rear-ending his boat.
But we all had a blast.
Gorgeous adventure! Nice to see you two on a cat again!
👍😎👍
What a fantastic and honest video.
From Leopard owner to Leopard charterer - you nailed it. ❤
BTW: The Vitrifrigo on a high setting (yours was set to max) without the drip tray leads to the problem you mentioned. I'm using an AeroPress with some good Espresso roast for more than two years now (not sponsored 😉) for hot and cold brews. My favorite right now is "half a" hot brew with 7-8 ice cubes (from the mentioned, working Vitrifrigo). 🥶
That's on way to make cold brew coffee. I cold brew the entire pound in 2 liters of water for 24 hours. It yields about 1.5 Liters of coffee syrup, which I mix 3/4 or more to 8 oz of hot water for a fresh cup of coffee. I keep the syrup in a stainless steel can in the frig.
So much beauty in one place. Love the butterfly tree / plant thingy. 😊
We charted a 50 ft catamaran from the Moorings out of Phuket. After the first night the air conditioning died on one side leaving two of the cabins without air. We were not that far from home base and fully expected them to come fix the issue or get us onto a different boat. Didn’t happen…..they came and rerouted the air from the salon to the cabins so we had air at night but the heat and humidity in the salon where we spent most of our time was almost unbearable. Our plumbing had issues so another day was spent working on that on our own. Fortunately we were experienced boaters so capable but to fly from California to Phuket to spend a week on a less than acceptable boat with the cost that we incurred was definitely not worth it. We did this the first week of November……the water looked beautiful but was solid with jellyfish so swimming and snorkeling was not easy. Fortunately we had planned five days at a resort after the sail and it was lovely and the people were wonderful. We have chartered from the Moorings in the Caribbean and it was delightful. Thailand…not so much.
This is a great reminder to opt for a boat that sails well in light wind.
I really hope that you enjoy your job as much as I enjoy watching you do it. And I really loved Jason’s rendition of Milkshake. 😂
Loving the new hair 😘
I have a 180° opinion, from yours, of the extremely boyish short hair. Nonetheless, it's hers to do as she chooses. Beautiful inside, as always.
That was fabulous as usual! Thank you for taking us along! Love Thai food! Actually is my favorite and I have never been to Thailand! Best I have ever had though was in Sydney. We eat Thai in every city we visit.
Ok Jason, your cold brew technique makes me smile. Right down to the spoon rinse. We are kindred spirits 😂. Don’t be embarrassed, you are just getting every ounce of joy out of life. 👍
So glad you had fun. Can't wait til the next one. Love you kids. 😘
I love my Surfshark! Thanks to you guys I've had it for over a year ♥
Glad you're enjoying it! We couldn't travel without it.
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful video as always
I loved it, you were so entertaining! That was such a cool Spot, lovely. Oh the Mosquitos, Ugh!
Jason your singing and the "I don't know where that came from..." Hilarious! That was such a sweet week escape. Congratulations on your Anniversary. You guys were made for each other! Thank You, God Bless.
Hint for Bug Repellent, eat more Garlic and make a peppermint/lavender coconut oil mix(apply to skin on the bites) if Garlic is not on the menu....
Beautiful trip! Thanks 4 taking us along. Health & happiness 2 U. And, safe travels. ❤️
You look SO happy sailing!
I like Nikki's new haircut fits her well.
Omg, Rain! send Canada rain! I cannot wait for the rain!
those butterflies were amazing! and you need DEET in the tropics!
That was wet, wet, wet! Glad you guys were able to have some good times! So ready for your new boat launch!
You two look so much better since you charter that boat! Love the content!
We went to same view point 5years ago, great to see it again and bring those memories back. Jason laughing in the rain is so typically Jason, LOL
We enjoyed the morning watching your adventures in Thailand very entertaining and we feel you’re doing a great job and we enjoy watching the new boat build also, it’s very fun keep up the great work.
Such a beautiful and delicious video. It's good to see you on a boat and traveling again. Thanks for taking us along.
So great to see you two out on the water again. We are in San Juan Islands about to start our circumnavigation. Heading to New Zealand and then up to Thailand ❤
That long sleeve T looks super comfy
I personally love Nikki's deep thoughts predilection and Jason's poetry, prose, and songs appropriate to the situation predilection. And of course the puns, double entendres....😉😂👏👏
Love seeing you back on any boat 😊. Hang in there you'll be back in your home soon. I was wondering if Niki would ever consider doing a mini series or a post on her wardrobe? Your clothes are adorable and you seem to have a bottomless wardrobe even though I know you are living out of a suitcase. And so fresh looking, I live in a house with access to a washer and dryer and my clothes still look frumpy 😂. I know that's not really the point of your channel. Just a thought but this sailing girl would really appreciate some fashion tips. Oh and Jason too of course, always looking sharp. Stay safe out there!
Hey! Curious Minion here, chiming in while Nikki and Jason are busy editing. Nikki always finds these comments a bit funny, because a lot of their clothes have been with them for years & years, and if you look closely you can see the wear & tear on them. She has previously given a couple of tips, the first of which is to buy good stuff to begin with so it will stand up to wear & tear. Secondly, since they do live out of suitcases and limited storage space, things get really wrinkled. The pro tip is to figure out what you will the following day and take it out of your closet the night before. Then hang the clothes in the shower and mist them with water in a spray bottle. Brush the wrinkles out of the damp clothes with your hand & let them dry overnight. Voila! Fresh as a daisy! This is an old traveler's trick from way back and I can personally confirm that it works, as crazy as it sounds.
This topic is one that's requested fairly often, so maybe we'll get more tips some day. Hope this helps in the meantime.

Looks like the rainy season caught up with you! Love the video. Having been to the area many times - this make me nostalgic. Now we want to go back! Keep up the great work!
Looked like fun. Love Nikki's hair cut.
27:27. Spectacular! Your journeys are the best. Most everything is warm weather based. Thank you so much. Choice of music also commendable. Stay safe and God Bless.
Haha, I also have a “ritual” when I make my freshly ground beans in my ESPRO 7 French Press. I LOVE my ESPRO. The double filter and silicon seals ensure you don’t get any grounds. And you can also get a filter for tea! 👍
THAT HIGH ALTITUDE CAN MAKE YR BRAIN PLAY TRIX ON YA,SING ANOTHER LITTLE JINGLE 4-US JASON🥰
Great! thanks for letting us board. Jason! Love it when you focus your camera on the flora and fauna. Take care and see ya nest week....😊😊
