Being on a boat in a spectacular place on a beautiful day is splendid. But sailing isn’t the fastest, easiest, or most comfortable way to travel or live.
So why do we revel in discomfort? This is a question I ask myself after every sleepless night or rough voyage across a sporting sea (we sailors say sporting so it doesn't sound like we're complaining). Because being a liveaboard, is a very mixed bag. It’s completely impractical and yet we think it’s the greatest way to exist on the planet. We love it and this is a theory on why.
---------
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

A Wynns video only 52 seconds old..better than a fresh bagel
You done flung a craving on me. Now I want a bagel and cream cheese... On Curiosity preferably.
😂😂
I'm always sad when I get to end of the video, I could watch you both for hours ,getting lost in my own dreams of living boat life 💜
Keep safe 🙏
I think all sailors motto is "whatever floats your boat" you are willing to do. Great vid guys.
Don't know how you do it, but even a sail to a new anchorage somehow has purpose and meaning. Your sailing combined with the appropriate accompanying music (great choice this week) always make me forget the problems in the world...and for some unknown reason puts me in a better mood for the week ahead. Wishing you a wonderful week too!
💯
RR - The Wynns help me as well ! Take me away from problems . . . . choice of music usually fits the scenario . But . . . .
For music that refreshes my soul I rely on Angelina Jordan a 'little' gal from Norway.
Love the Wynns ! Take care , RH
The art of storytelling. THIS is what makes a good channel. These guys are true creators and masters of their craft. We love them and look to them for inspiration. 😍
@@LivinLaVidaGypsea Couldn't agree more! Their ability to put everything into the proper context and perspective is impeccable...almost uncanny. 😉
There’s another thing about discomfort and or choosing discomfort that I think a lot of people don’t fully grasp. When we’re uncomfortable and by that I mean hot cold wet hungry or all of the above we have a true appreciation for when we are comfortable. Or at least I do.
Fantastic video as always, love you guys. 👊🏻👌🏻
Agree 100%. It's easy in Human nature to take things for granted quickly. A glass of clean ice water tastes so much better when you are dirty, hot, and uncomfortable.
@@lou1958 exactly 👊🏻
Nicely put!
I try to spend a week in the wilderness each spring just to remind myself of the advantages of civilization. A warm, soft bed; a sturdy roof; a place to prepare food that isn't the bottom of an overturned canoe -- priceless! And don't get me started about the miracle of on-demand hot water. It's sorcery!
@@govsquid lol…exactly
Your boat seems to have held up very well. Not many big repairs that are not normal . Sad you had such troubles with that first sail maker.
I find your show to be very relaxing
I like your “day in the life” episodes. Offers a feel for what its really like out there and helps dispel the notion that you are on a never-ending vacation. Thanks.
💯
"We didn't buy a sailboat so that we can motor". And that ladies and gentlemen, is why this is my favorite Sailing channel. You know what and who I'm talking about.
Exactly, you don't buy a sailboat for the motor, you buy it because you want to SAIL. Yes sailing can be troublesome at times, and that's why teamwork makes the dream work. Once you cooperate with Mother Nature, you learn to respect it, plus be more aware about time. Time is valuable and precious.
Stupid Kim, you should fire those missiles at Russia.
yeah , . . . . most sailboats only use the motor 90% of the time . . . . .
Kim jong un loves da boats
Forrest Gump had the saying "stupid is as stupid does" but I don't think you're stupid.
17 to 20 knots is the sort of weather sailors dream of so what's stupid about that?
It'd be stupid to not go sailing for as long as possible and cramming a four hour sail into an 8 hour day is an accomplishment.
Well done.
Thank u for great content! I quit traditional entertainment in 2018. You guys bring fun, joyful, interesting and quite simply a moment to just smile. I can't thank you enough when the rest of the world seems to just dish up stress, anxiety, negativity and a focus on the worst of life. So glad to get to feel levity in a harsh world and travel along with yall!
Thanks for showing me all these great places in the world. Your video always leave me feeling better upon viewing them.
That's the best part. I unfortunately will never see these places in person.
Now you know why New Zealand pumps out world class sailors! Love how you guys don't sugar coat a tough day when they happen. Chalk it up as a 'fun' day sailing!
Sailing is being at anchor in a beautiful harbor, sailing in perfect seas with perfect wind, sailing is exciting when the wind and sea challenge you a bit. Sailing is also constant upkeep and repairs, standing watch in the middle of a cold night in choppy seas with ⚡️ and 🌧 , trying to sleep when you’re too cold or too hot, or the boat is tossing you around, it’s worrying if you’re going to make it to port because of some mechanical problem(s). Sailing is life. It has its good times and not so good times. Being on a boat gives you more of the good and not so good than sitting at home in front of your tv and wishing you were those people with the catamaran sailing around the world.
I love the bit about "just enough struggle". Throughout my life, I have been most uncomfortable when I have been bored/under challenged. You live on a boat. I live in a motorhome and, like you, spend most of my time boondocking and out of campgrounds (marinas). I just love your videos and the parallel challenges... And fun.. we face on the daily :) Keep going with the flow y'all!
Everytime I see that little door closed, I just LAUGH!!! and the look on Singa's face....priceless!!
Singa's look is like "Hey, am I the only adult here?"
😹😹
For some reason, this one pulling at the heart strings today. Music? Theme? Content? Missing friends? Life happening? Dunno, keep on keepin' on...
The Coromandel is a beautiful area. I am a 65 year old retired guy and live by myself in my caravan. For the last couple of weeks I have been doing a very slow meander on the Coromandel Peninsula. Yesterday (10 April) I travelled from Whitianga, where I had been parked up for a week, to Coromandel village. Planning on staying here until Easter Monday, when I will travel up to Auckland to look after my 6 year old granddaughter for the school holidays while my daughter and son-in-law work.
Love your show watch it every Sunday
Coromandel town on the west coast is very cute and is the gateway to beautiful beaches on the East Coast. Coromandel is a bit of an artistic centre and Easter has a great exhibition at the old school. There is a big hill to go over to the East coast but on the other side is Whnangapoua and at its end is the world famous New Chums beach. A good shop with yummy coffee and cake at Whangapoua. In Coromandel you should go to Driving Creek Railway, a little train goes through the regenerating bush, designed by a potter, that takes you to the Eye Full tower and wonderful views back to Aucklamd. The beaches on the East coast are beautiful, especially Whangapoua. Enjoy
So good to see you Nikki, Jason, & Curiosity. Beautiful! Love the scenery you see.
Sail away... 'cramming 4 hours of sailing into 8', only a Sailor would appreciate that thought pattern! Your vision is pure, and you accept life as it happens. I would love to be there! Thank you for showing the average person what it takes to fulfill the dream of "Sailing into the Unknown" and making it work. Beautiful Video, Music, and clarity of how zig-zagging gets You There~! Water Purifer was very interesting, I have a 'Berkey' for my Grounded life! Good day mates! Be Safe, stay positive as usual. 🏝🌃⛵
Great to see you guys sailing plus loved the rain reality check at the end 😀
Awesome 👏🏻
Trying to sail is like trying to play pool with 2 industrial fans on high at two ends of the pool table. 🤣👍
Absolutely loved the part on challenge and its role in living a fulfilling life. Cheers and safe travels!
This episode is my favorite. You guys do a great job of showing your reality. Thank you.
Thank you guys! So awesome to watch per usual! I also love that you alls sponsors are always so practical and useful!
That was a great episode! Just the daily grind of sailing, and some philosophical reflection. Very enjoyable. Oh, and really nicely edited.
Great video as usual. What you both have done to repair and replace over the last several months is inspiring, and you can hear Curiosity purring from here in Florida!! 👏👏👏⛵⛵⛵
Once again I have enjoyed this weeks video❤️. You make it look so simple to someone like me who has never been on a sail boat.
IDK how you guys have time to work on it, but the editing and storyline just get better and better! 👏👏😍😍🌊🌊
Nikki: We don't decide where to anchor or for how long, Mother Nature does
Mother Nature: *Look at me, I'm the captain now*
"Which has all sorts of bacteria, bird poop and who knows whatever else" You're not describing a boat, you're just describing the Hudson River 💀
🤣 pretty much.
OMG!!!! We are finally Wynns Patrons !!!!!!!!! It seems silly to be soo excited to "give" another couple $$, but we finally feel secure enough to be able to "give back." Your content has enriched our lives through entertainment (of course!), but also through inspiring us to follow our own dreams and passions. In spite of the headache, hassle, work, mind boggling, never-ending lists that come with full time travel.........we still get that "pinch me!" feeling that this cannot be our lives. You two have captured the spirit of the game wonderfully and are always my go to. We are proud to be contributing in a small way, and hope this is just the beginning. 🤞🏻
🚐🌎🐈⬛
This is so inspiring to read! Incredible, thank you for letting us be a part of your week, for the support and following your passions! May you never lose the “pinch me” feeling!!!
Thank you for a great video . It makes life much better watching you as a couple working things out . I am looking forward to a great sailing season here in the New York area & the coast of Connecticut .
Getting my Jason and Nicki fix! 😉 I enjoy watching your adventures and misadventures of sort, always combined with a great love for life and gratitude. Sail safe, healthy and happy you two!! Love and blessings from the majestic Oregon coast!
You must go visit the Coromandel Mussel Kitchen while you're over that side of the Coromandel. Its well worth a visit. Also, take the dingy up to Coromandel township on the high tide and check out the cool little stores.
Thank you for another beautiful meditation on sailing. I’d love to see to see a video on your editorial/content planning.
Suggestion buy an air powered rife. (I recommend a Beeman)
Use it to teach seagulls that your boat is not healthy place to poop. After warming the tail feathers up in a parking spot the others will get the hint. Believe me they do talk to each other. And an air gun doesn’t disturb your neighbors unless they see you training the birds. A scope is always nice to.
❤ thank you 😊
Fun to watch!
Its looks like alot of Fun till the storms shows up. LOL..Thank You for taking us along. I know I will never sail but its great watching You Guys. Great Video Stay Safe...
Just a great concept. We choose a certain amount of struggle otherwise we get bored. Brilliant. It explains a great deal.
Also you two create such professional entertaining videos. I truly look forward to them each week. Thank you.
Keep the videos coming. Loving them.
So fun!! And laughs❣️ I love you guys❣️
I have followed your channel for a couple of years now. Love the content - more so now, my youth (in the 60’s/70’s) was spent “messing around in boats in and around Marsden Bay/One Tree point. Thank you for sharing your journey and rekindling memories of my wonderful childhood/youth. “Bon voyage” from the south coast of Western Australia.
Hi guys! Just dropping by to say (As always) that we love your channel and always look forward to every episode! This one in particular had us giggling the whole way through. Being new to the live aboard" lifestyle, a lot of these thoughts and days we experience CONSTANTLY.
I remember camping in that bay with my father and brother (well I think it was that one) 60 years ago. There was just a dirt track back then but the fishing was wonderful and well worth the rough ride. A beautiful part of the world. Nice memories. Thank you
Watching your video helps me escape all the troubles this world has for me. I could sit on the front of your boat in the beautiful sunshine bobbing up and down watching that blue horizon. I bet its memorizing.
Always love your videos,,they are very well done. Never sell out guys! Stay real😎🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks for another great video. Appreciate the upload, despite what rolled in afterward for you!
👍🙏💖Thank you for the update about the water maker. I loved watching. 💝
I've sailed the coast of Alaska for over 25 years for months at a time during the summer. Sailing can be a love/hate relationship but I love it far more often than the times I hate it.. 🙂 Thanks for the video. Sail On!
Beautiful Stormy skies.
Great video. Shows the 'variety' of the Hauraki Gulf. I have been caught out on Oneroa with a northerly shift a few times - there are some alternative (and sheltered) anchorages just around the corner. Even though it is slightly further, another route would have been to head south around Waiheke and out through Ruthe Passage. Great to meet you recently.
You all are such a lovely couple.
Your efforts to please are not lost on us. Thank you for your struggles.
On the east coast of the Coromandel is a place called Hot Water beach. Yes you dig a hole in the sand and can sit in hot water. There are mussel farms in the area you are which are great for fishing. If you come to Tauranga (which is where I am) there is a ship wreak (the Rena) which would be a great place to dive around. Enjoy the Coromandel I love it up there. I really enjoy seeing places thru your eyes.
We bought an Acuva unit a few years ago using your discount code (thanks!) and love it! Excellent customer service too, when we had a little problem with it.
Brilllllliant Wynns- thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for another great video. I'll back you up on the value and quality of Acuva water filters. We just spent four months in Mexico and drank whatever water was available - through the Acuva LED filter. Much better than acquiring and lugging big jugs of water.
So enjoy the 2 of you
Thank you
Still a huge fan! Thanks guys. Be safe.
God bless you both were ever your next adventure takes you. Thank you both for letting so many people live vicariously through you.
Sunday breakfast at the local diner and gone with the winds gives me a solid steady endorphin push. Always a good time. Thanks.
I love you guys thank you for taking me on your adventures. Safe travels friends.
A great sail day! Nothing to repair, nothing stop working or fallen off. Your only challenge was finding the Internet....piece of cake! Un abbraccio forte a due!
It’s so great to see you sailing
Thanks for posting this. Good to see that it’s not always sunshine and blue water!
Beautiful scenery. The sky and water almost perfectly blend. Breathtaking! Hope the weather clears up for you! Where were we before 4G? In the dark ages (again) I suppose!!
Great job! Like you good choices for the music tracks. As a land-bound armchair sailor that has never ailed outside San Diego Bay, I am jealous, and eagerly await each video.
Pleased to see you made Coromandel, I started my schooling there and was there right through the war. There were still active gold mines there and the tap water was so full of minerals my father was requested to supply a second sample to be analysed. Well done, I now live in Brisbane, Aust. and have been following your adventures. The HaurKi Gulf certainly is a good cruising area and I have visited most of the islands in including Little Barrier island.
Don't know how far around Coromandel you are gonna go, but if you get to Whitianga (east coast) check out the Lost Spa. They are natural spring pools, walkable from marina, and amazing.
I just spent the morning scooping and spreading horse manure and then tine harrowing the poops out in the pasture. Not everyone's favorite sunday morning activity, but it was pleasant. So yeah. I get it. I am hoping to try a small sail boat class up at the local sailing club this summer....thanks to you guys!!
Here's to hoping your water maker gets the love it needs. So thankful you're getting enough rain to supplement for now. Sunday morning with the Wynns on Curiosity. Such a treat! Stay safe out there!
Excellent as usual!!!
good to see you guys sailing again.
Lots of work...you make it look easy! Great job.
I have watched your show from the beginning- from the bad to the good. I love it and kudo's to you both for continuing on this great adventure . Just a quick note and you probably have thought of it- Starlink You might have mentioned it before but I do not remember.
I wish you could livestream a few days - just mount on a mast and let us all enjoy your beautiful surroundings! Vicariously, we get to enjoy these beautiful places through your videos. More than that, your videos are so well composed - no jiggly cameras, or out of focus footage...your efforts in producing excellent content really shows! Your videos are beautiful even covering some of life's more mundane aspects. Thanks!
So ace as usual Wynn's for the Wynn
Wind power - nice! Thanks team.
Really well narrated, thank you.
Man that music at 16 min was freaking awesome
Nice new sails! It looks like they work well, even with the drama and difficulty of getting them.
Great video! Waiheke Island looks like it was a wonderful place to visit- sorry the visit was so brief. Anyways, on to new adventures. Thanks for bringing us along. See the both of you next week. Be safe.
Enjoyed your insights on Scaffolding the challenge.
Well my Sunday gets better an better.. guys that no interweb spot was beautiful... But so is the interweb spot cuz.... This video was fun to watch... Thanks for sharing your lives with us ✌🏼💗😊❣️
You guys definitely has the right balance in attitude. You tackle challenges which are rewarding and not impossible. I see the youth of today demoralised by adults with negative attitudes (which sadly includes their parents sometimes) and I wish I had the formula to open their eyes. Jordon Peterson tells the youth of today to pick a hard task and lift that burden. When you succeed you will like a master of the universe. The alternative to always feel helpless and defeated, down trodden and depressed. And the staggering thing about attitude is that it takes about a microsecond to change it from negative to positive, the person only has too will it to be so. Fair winds to you as they say.
More people should hear what Jordon Peterson has to say.
about your internet problem in that cove -- have you thought about balloon antenna-- they are really a small helium balloon with a ant. attached with about 200 ft of cable or more light weight wire it boosts your wifi hundred x -- can't think of why it wouldn't boost your uplink connections also with the right ant. attached --- they use them in nordic countries and east coast of Canada where fiords are present -- they where invented during war 2 for spies to send up a ant to transmitt then take down in a hurry so they wouldn't be detected during the night with low watt transmitters -- maybe you should look in to these -- just an idea -- sure there is a reason -- with how smart you guys are that you haven't thought of that -- love this video as always it shows real boat life -- i like that - you guys are great best sailors videos on the net
Great video, beautiful as usual. I like the psychology snippet, a good idea to keep perspective.
Love the Gulf of hauraki. Use to sail there as a cadet a few years ago on container ships. Great content 😊
You two are delightful. 🌺
some replace water filters every three to four months some go well beyond that, so it's up to you about your water filtering system. Isn't that great that you are still loving your sailings? Glad you had a great trip!
Hey guys, enjoyed your video as I do all of your videos. A compliment is long overdue; my compliments to whoever is in charge of the music in your videos. I do not believe I have heard one song I didn't like and most of the songs I like.......... a lot! So, keep up the great work with the music selections. See ya next video.
Yes, you finally GET sailing Nicky and Jason! Small amount of motoring, more sailing, no matter the Wynn's. xx. Precious Kids on the water scene. Wtf!
Loved when Nikki said "didn't get a sailboat to motor " cheers
you guys are the truly amazing and inspirational
You guys are masters at product integration/advertisement. I watched the whole thing because it was interesting in spite of being an advertisement.
Good morning and good day 🙏🌞💝🌞🙏 love you guys so much! Save travels. 💝🙏💝
Sailing is an art. You seem to be catching on. Ain't it wonderful!
Awesome video guys.
I may have to take you up on your offer on the acuva. I'm getting ready to start my part time venture in my motorhome. I'm betting my wife won't like the water from our tank, but I guess we'll see in a few months. Ya know not every day of any life is rainbows and unicorns sometimes it's just a regular day with some trials and tribulations. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
