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

They speak for a lot of us when they say how much your efforts are appreciated and inspiring.
💙💛💙
My compliments to the lady of the boat. Her attitude is a highlight of the whole story.
I wish there were more people like her. The world would be a so much more interesting place.
What a life that little girl is going to live with parents like that. Adventure and getting out of your comfort zone is just normal.
No internet for a week ! she'll be on Doctor Phill saying what a deprived childhood she had 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah if a Kiwi tells me to wear a sweater, I'd wear one too...remember, a New Zealand summer is nothing like an American one
and them starting to sail because of you guys is proof of just how inspirational this channel is, really making an impact! And you definitely have good taste as evident with the inclusion of the steel drum. A masterpiece of an instrument
I have been dreaming of a circumnavigation since I first set foot on a sailboat at age 4. Your videos have fueled that dream and made me push hard to get into a position to retire early - in a few weeks we go to the Miami boat show with the checkbook in hand!!
YOUR WORK MATTERS!!
💙💛💙 Hope you find your dream boat!
it might be worth looking outside the US aswell for the same prize of Curiosity you could get a Dutch Tallship for Comercial Sailing in Europe :3
@@cpt.mirones5109 Good point! There sure is very little used to pick from. We may end up having to go with new..
@@federicorio 2nd looking outside US.... Europe is a cheaper alternative.
Another fantastic Nikki and Jason adventure. Thanks guys!!!!
I'm 75 years old and I use to sail so I kind of am living your lifestyle through your videos love them and never miss
You have been given a tremendous complement! You two do influence a lot of people in so many positive ways! Thank you so much.
When the crew of Slime said ‘thanks for inspiring us to get into this life’, I actually said “amen”. We are quite a ways away from buying our first boat, but we have a new life goal that we are working toward every day. Thank you, Curiosity!
Love the steel drum music. Hits home. Yes that boat is green. Nice catch on the hat. Chips bread and butter strange, lol. Just buy the boat, 😆. That is cool how much you guys encouraged them. Keep it creamy lol. Love the outtakes.
Great video guys 🙌🏼, I like that family and I don’t think they’ll do much motoring on their travels.
Would love to hear the peoples onboard experience as the weather gets up. Comfort onboard as it gets to 25+ knots and how that “feels” onboard on a 3t boat vs something that is 20t like a standard production catamaran.
Where are they thinking of taking it and where would they not?
Again, awesome video. 🤙
Hi Riley
No hesitation to take this boat anywhere warm but you have to be way more attentive to the conditions.On watch is definately ON WATCHThere is also the saying 'don't race the house'Same old story...get scared pull the sails down.She will sail really well bare poles.Light weight means no pitching and plunging. Multihull are meant to sit on top of the water.The heaveier they are the more unsafe the are in my opinion. The builder is my multihull guru.John, you are the man!
this is a fun weekend cruiser, not a passage maker.
Thanks! They are a rad family and we hope to catch up with them again in a few weeks for another sail. They are have already grown their confidence heaps and are now cruising comfortably at 20kts and say it feels absolutely no different than sailing at 12 knots. Deceptively fast and smooth as butter.
Riley wondering how his up and coming trimaran may feel at 25+ knots...
You guys make my Sundays happy:)
This is only my second time commenting. Niki, Jason your smiles go many miles. I love your videos. That's some cat! Every week you show us something different and it always comes across as an adventure and fun. It reminds me of when I was very young, when I was staying with my uncle love to read to his son and I. He read Arthur Ransome's book, Swallos and Amazons and We didn't mean to go to sea. Un abbraccio forte a due!
What a fantastic cat!! And I like that pretty much everything was manual...the dagger boards, rudder extensions, anchor, etc. The electric winches are great, but it's just one more thing to break. And even though this cat is minimalist, with very little on deck to create drag/windage and that mainsail boom as low as possible, it still seems really comfortable below decks. Much more so than I would've thought. You're definitely going to be in the weather and wet on that helm, though, no matter what. Really enjoyed the ride. Thanks for taking us along!!
So when they get their "forever" boat, will they be that much further along on sailing a cruiser? That is a sweet boat, especially for its age.
❤❤❤✌✌🤗🤗
Awesome sail! Wow, I loved the contrast of 'Slime' to 'Curiosity'! The little girl Georgia, is adorable, "Just Buy the Boat"~! This is an amazing, serious racing vessel... wasn't sure where that was going. Yikes, you have to be on your toes sailing this Cruiser! Another, amazing 'cliff hanger Coffee Hour with the Wynn's'! Thank you, love this adventurous family! Ya'll be safe. Cheers.
There's just something about kids on boats that makes me smile.
WOW, 1987 and she looks so sleek! Great people, fabulos vessel and as always fun with the Wynns!
Your videos always to inspire me to just give it a go. While not in sailing, but in other areas of life. Thank you guys for the inspiration.
Best part of this video, seeing the little one handling boats out on the water. Perfect!
What a lovely family! Would love an interview with them about their sailing decision; pros, cons, and what finally pushed them onto their boat.
I'll second that inspiration sentiment. You and others sharing your adventures were a big part of keeping the dream alive! I watch sailing vlogs more for advice and maintenance related reasons these days and you guys have sure been helpful there too. Thanks for the discount on our cooler btw.
Well gotta get some last minute provisions before sailing off. Thanks for everything!
Edit: Oh! That boat is way cool! Effortlessly sailing about as fast as we've ever sailed. The speed makes me jealous and the rear head made me laugh! Direct deposit.
Hello Jason and Nikki , I just completed the week long BWSS catamaran bareboat crusing courses. We did Biscayne bay , Hurricane Harbour, No Name anchorage and Boca Chita . We sailed With Capt Arno , but I talked to Captain Jenn. Thank for the motivation !
The feeling y'all must get when you meet people you have inspired! ♥️ From a fellow Texan.
Gotta love Kiwis. I don't have too much experience on bigger boats, but certainly in dinghy-land the boats you'd look at and think "this looks approachable" tend to sail like dog-shit and are a handful in a blow, while the ones that look racy often have much more benign handling and a lot more boat speed to boot. Look how that machine just purrs along doing wind-speed even with the rig de-powered... no big loads on the helm, no wasted energy pitching, no bad behavior-- just cuts right through the water with a gentle hum from the boards.
This boat is pretty cool and looks to be in incredible condition. Those rudders are super sexy: love a cassette rudder but they often don't seem to work well at large scales with the usual pintle-based arrangement... the way they've done a cassette integral to a giant set of upper and lower bearings connected by pushrods and spherical bearings is just tasty. I bet the helm feel on that boat is superb.
That family is lucky you didn't bring your bad luck with Mother Nature with you 😂
Love the steel drum music. New Zealand is not quite a tropical paradise like the Caribbean. But for where you are, it's close enough
Great video! You guys have inspired us as well. From a shitty 9 to 5 in Norman, Oklahoma to a 41' Morgan Out Island in Fort Lauderdale, Florida... Last day of work is March 4th!!!
OMG....the whipped cream idea! I use so little in my coffee and feel like I'm constantly throwing it away! That's BRILLIANT!
How cool was that.... that's what I call FUN!...miss you guys..
Thank you 🙏🏻 That was so much fun!!! You guys work so hard on the boat a lot of the time, so I’m sure you needed the break as well!!!
@14:20 I 2nd that! They've inspired me too. I've been following the Wynn's since the RV days. I'm afraid what they might try next. Flying?
That first outtake.
“You can say it honey”
😂👊🏻👌🏻
I love how humble and bubbly you guys are.
That was a fun outing to watch, as they all are! When younger, my brother and I used to race smaller sailboats, which hiking out and the speed was so much fun! Your video today brought back some wonderful memories.
I will say, you two are an inspiration, and thank-you for sharing! Your insights are luring us to get back out. As my wife's and my children were growing up, we visited the 48 contiguous states and camped in a tent, conversion van or a popup camper. It offset the work of the year, which my wife was a teacher and I worked with communities to figure out how to become more sustainable through land use, mitigation and all that stuff. I retired recently and traveled off the grid, but I have returned to work with smaller places to help after disasters. Well, your insights and adventures have me figuring out how to get out full time -- I figure after 40 years of giving to others it's probably okay for us to chase the sunsets for a bit (by the way, your charities that you highlight, and help are amazing and that provides a wonderful way to keep helping all species). Sorry for the long dialog, but a sincere thank-you for being an inspiration.
Love that they took the leap to start a new adventure and how you inspired them. How cool is that!
I've been watching GwtWs for years now, ever since they were touring NA in an RV. I have to say, the charm of this channel (apart from Nikki and Jason themselves) are the relationships they make, and they experiences they share with us. It's one thing for them to document their travels with us - those channels are a dime a dozen. It's another thing completely to make friends with anybody and everybody, and then show us life from these other perspectives. Captain Tom, and all the other people in Fiji, all the people in the Caribbean, and in between, THAT is what makes this channel special. It's the relationships and showing other peoples' lives which is what I treasure most about this entire adventure.
I think this is one the BEST, most fun videos you've ever done. Loved it, loved that family and their sense of adventure!!!
I perceive for you learning of the profound positive effect you two have had on people, meeting them, seeing that effect first person, this makes life worthwhile. You have had a positive effect on me and so many others, for this you have my respect.
Hard to believe that was only their fourth sail, they looked so relaxed and professional. Nice boat but I always thought the object of sailing was to relax and not be in a hurry. Best to you guys and thanks for the video . 😊 !
The big advantage is light wind sailing, in 5 knots of breeze you don't have to motor. Personally I can't stand motoring, the noise, vibrations, smell, cost and the boat thumps through the water instead of gliding through it. If you want to relax in strong winds just reef hard down.
My concern is that they are low experience sailors in a high performance boat.
@@timinwsac looks like a pretty low center of force (the mast looks short) and with 8.8 beam looks like it would be hard to capsize. Roughly 1 tonne at 4 meters is a lot of torque holding the boat upright. They did say "Paul has some sailing experience".
the object of sailing? all you need to start a sailing boat race is two sailiing boats.
That cat is a bit of a rocket ship. looks like great fun.
Such well balanced content in this clip fun , passion, humble acknowlegments to each other - real , wholesome and inspirational- im a catamaran fantisizer it will happen one day ❤️
I've been following you two since your RV day's...so inspiring on living a life to it's fullest. Each of our journey is so different yet so much the same with the proper attitude... keep on keeping on. Thanks again for sharing 😊 ❣❣
You absolutely inspired me to get a pontoon. I live in the middle of North America and its our way of enjoying the water. Our whole family has been touched by your influence on me. Our three granddaughters, our adult children, our pets and friends are all enjoying the boat life because of you and your videos. Thank You from all of us! Oh and LOVED this family!
That family typifies so much of what's to like about our cousins "across the ditch". I hope they enjoy their boat, and, with their attitude, I'm sure they will.
I agree completely with the sentiments being expressed. I’ve had a tough go the last couple of years looking after my, soon to be, 96 year old Mom. Her physical and mental health has deteriorated. Your videos are hugely important to me offering a much anticipated respite each week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You guys meet the nicest people and have a lot of fun wherever you go.
What a cool day you guys had ! I watched, or let's say mostly listened, in my car today on a long trip. Made the ride really enjoyable .
I love to hear and see some of the folks you have inspired, good on you.
Your videos never fail to put me in a good mood, thank you.
Slime is amazing. Love this catamaran. This vid brought back memories of my teen years sailing lasers, arrows and a catamaran. We grew up around water. Those were fun times. As always, great content and thanks for all the work you put into getting your experiences out to us on video.
This was such a cool video! Thanks for sharing your adventure! That is one fast cat!
That's one fast boat, and also like the steel drum music. Ways to make Curiosity faster, add rocket engines.
Thank you for taking us along on this adventure
Thanks. I enjoyed the video. Great visit with them. I love their boat!
you all are the best and just make me smile. thanks!
Another great video! Wishing them lots of fun and fulfilling times on Slime!!💚
Congrats on 500,000k Curiosity fam!! Thank you for sharing your life and adventures with us!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Congrats on 500,000 subscribers!! I’ve been checking the last two weeks! Celebrate!!
Ahhh! So much fun! Thanks for sharing!
I never knew a catamaran had a poop deck. Thanks for that, Jason. Seriously, how affirming it is when sharing your reason for being inspires others.
That boat looked soooo fast! It's so neat that you spent some time with people inspired by you. You deserve that positive encouragement after everything you've been through in the past two years!!
Great to see the polar opposite of Curiosity! Slime is definitely faster but not as comfy. The whole point is to get out there and have fun whatever way you can!
what a cool boat they have and nice story...like them, my wife and I have been inspired by you guys and last December we became live aboards on our FP 48 Salina, so keep up the good work as you guys are changing lives and it's beautful to see.
Fab episode! Amazing people doing amazing sailing ⛵️
so cool to see Slim still out and about!!!! brings back lots of awesome sailing days. Chippy sandwich is a fav in NZ some add vegemite and lettuce. Try it out you will be amazed.
What an awesome Video and story line!! Slime is an incredible Cat!! You both Rock in my World! Love to follow you, found your channel a couple of months ago and have not looked back since. You certainly bring an inspiring story to 1000's and 1000's of people!! Thank you both for what you do. Have a safe and adventurous rest of your day!! Keep the Joy, Happiness & love of your hearts coming!!
And, the other side of your great videos is, your realistic reports on the costs and problems involved with owning a boat. Keep up the good work.
A wonderful exciting video. Enjoyed meeting your new friends. Proud of the little girl.
You inspire more than you know! Thanks for another great video and for sharing ✌️💜
This was a really nice video. I'm sure Paul and his family will be an inspiration to others also. You guys do put out awesome videos.
This one had me laughing at the outtakes and crying at the sweet part of you all getting to hear how you have inspired this family (and us and so many others)! 💛
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Jason could always make a living doing comedy!
It must be a bit satisfying to know that your videos and the sharing of your journey is encouraging others to do the same. Awesome Video Jason and Nikki! I really enjoy them!
Wow! that catamaran is a rocket. I love the idea of speed and accommodation. What a wonderful family, they will have many great adventures in the future. Hopefully we can get updates on their voyages.
LOOKS LIKE SUCH FUN!!!
Awesome to meet such inspired followers of your great sailing adventure ....be interesting to know the relative stability/comfort factor of the fast-cat vs your cruiser -on long passages ... one HUGE positive is with 1/2 the passage time the chances of getting caught with gnarly change in weather is much reduced!
That was hilarious!!! Condensed milk of positive emotions! Thank you
What an exciting boat to get to ride on! I would do that in a heartbeat. So glad I watched right to the end. The cream question did come up in my mind. The external toilet was interesting as well. Thanks for sharing. All the best to Slime and crew!
Awesome show, Thanks!
We've been following you guys since your RV days. You inspired us to buy our RV and see America (and Canada). We've traveled from Temple, TX to Alaska and lots of other amazing places. We'll never sail around the world, but we enjoy watching your adventures while on the road in our Airstream.
Congratulations on soon to be HALF a million subscribers.
Your superb, professional, hard work paying off guys.
Excellent video on a beautiful boat!
one of ur best recent vids , alot of excitement i liked it
Thank you for sharing this one.
Fantastic video. Nice to see how you have inspired others.
I agree, inspiring, helps keep my little dreaming going on. I just enjoy the spirit involved most sailing& sailing channels. The more the better.Stay the course. Rrrrrrr, mateys!
'Just do it.' I love their style. This is what it's all about.
What a amazing boat! The experience has to be totally fun!
Love it guys! You should do more episodes like this. “Boat Swap” see, experience and review other vessels.
Great video. Congrats on 500K guys :)
Yet another great video. True proof that you guys inspire people. Really cool family amazing boat
A great fun sailing video. Enjoyed the sailing as well as the humor. Thanks guys.
Excellent as usual!!!
Fun video. I recall the first time I saw a Chip Butty (sandwich) on a menu at SOU Southampton Airport in 1986. I had no idea what it was and was astonished to learn about its ingredients.
Another week. Another great video. Keep it guys.
Till next week
another great video! Thanks guys. I just find myself, sitting here in snowbound central Canada, just grinning at your excitement on that boat. Always enjoy your videos - thanks!
Thanks so much Nikki & Jason for this Video. It was awesome to see one more Way to get into Sailing fast way. Bet the Marina life doesn’t have a Chance to Grow. Again thanks so much .. Gory.
What an awesome family. Outstanding video GWTW!
Such a lovely family and a very slick boat!
LOVED IT!!!!! NICE RIDE
