After an amazing snorkel outside of Moraine Cay we picked up the hook before sunset and made our way to Allan's Cay. We decided to try our luck at getting some lobster and hell yea we ate like KINGS! Feelin' pretty high it's nice to catch a little of our own food for once unlike our fishing escapades.
From Allan's we pointed the sailboat south and dropped the hook at Powell for some hiking and paddling. Of course both spots are perfect to test our Drone flying skills as well.
As always Nikki wrote a great article on our website filled with photographs, links and our thoughts for both anchorages we visited. Stay tuned and we'll see you on the water.

The drone footage is killing it! What a great addition to your videos.
I have been watching you guys since y'all were in Chicago, as a former sailor I wasn't to sure on your decision. Sailing isn't for most people, but I must say you guys handled the transition quiet well. Congrats!!!
Matt Riser JJ
Despite the bugs and chores,you guys are living the dream,while the rest of us back in the states are freezing to death watching your vids trying to get warm. Enjoy.😀 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Speak for your own pathetic existence. I'm great
It was 84 here on the West Coast of Florida. A little too warm for me.
I'm freezing in Oregon, this warms me up❤❤❤
Your videos just get better and better.
I love it when Jason sports his Where's Waldo shirt. Get him a wooly hat and some big round rim glasses!
So I load up your latest episode, freeze-framed to the opening shot and wait for my husband to join me on the sofa. He takes one look at the screen and says, "Jason and Nikki?" "Yep!" We watch untold numbers of sailing videos every week (still in the dreaming phase here), but there is no mistaking the Wynns' exceptional cinematography. Thanks for another gorgeous and insightful video. Fair winds! :-)
+Kazooka awe, thanks for the love and so glad you enjoy watching!
I Love your two cats even though iam a dog person they are so placid and well behaved and love boat life I've been with your channel for a few years now but never went back to the beginning of your boat life experience and I urge others to go to the beginning as I have done your obvious pros on filming and editing as it is TV quality at its best and you two are just perfect together and boat life suits you both I hope to do the same as the UK is an island I think boat life is in us all over here I feel so much at home near the water or on it living in the midlands Warwickshire we are only a hundred and twenty miles from the sea in three directions except north I have always wanted to own my own boat and a sailboat is the way to go and an electric one would be even better or a hybrid like the one you are getting iam pretty sure the engines on your new boat are brought in from the UK and they fit electric motors? Generators onto them and sell them as they are used a lot in canal boats and river boats which i have used and they are fantastic so you have picked the right engines for your boat so many redundancies if anything goes wrong with one propulsion i used a river boat for a month with these hybrid engines in just so good so as soon as we sell my parents house which is a very expensive house as they have passed 5 years ago now we plan to buy a new boat one thing with a catamaran do you pay double for a mooring space as they take up two single spots or do you find and end mooring spot as a HH boat is for us like you a no brainer its safer than an all fibreglass boats it should last longer being the hull is carbon fibre the ride is more comfortable than a single hull boat and we both like the layout of the boat at first i thought a 45 footer would be to small to live on then it hit me its really a ninety footer with the two hulls and bigger with the living space on top so its a perfect size to live on which we plan to do very soon when we put our order in then we will get our skippers licences i already have a radio licence as i worked for a company who used them i just need to renew it and when we order our new boat we will say its thanks to you that we went with H and H we know it maybe a couple of years to get one built or longer as i bet many new orders have gone in after watching your channel which gives us time to build our skils up i will buy a second hand sigle sail boat towable a 30 footer no bigger with a fold down mast or a 25 footer even better and juring the summer months we will sail tack and have fun so all the best from John from Rugby UK.
Your drone photography is incredible, if I didn't know better I would say it was an actual helo. Wow!
Great daily video! Loved every minute! Now I wanna make cookies!
I truly enjoy your videos. For the ones who are stuck behind a desk, or in an office, it allows us to experience the adventures with you. From your other posts as RVers, we have sold all we have and purchased an RV. We will be traveling this summer full time.. Thanks for the inspiration and lessons learned.
Nice aerial video!
I like that you guys maintain the boat so well. It's not taxing and enjoyable to watch you. Thank you for another easygoing video. Cheers 🍻
You two are adorable and have inspired my husband and I persue our dream of life aboard a catamaran. Aligning ourselves now to make it happen. We love your videos, keep them coming.
Wow you guys have that drone video dialed in Thankyou for the great show
Happy to learn about freezing cookies
Watch out for Poison Wood, they are are common throughout the Bahamas and you don't want to get the sap on you. Just brushing up on the leaves will cause a skin rash far worse than poison ivy. If you heard this before, sorry for covering it again.
+D Smith never too many words of caution on poison plants. Thanks.
Avon Skin-so-soft is no-see-um kryptonite! Learned that lesson in Puerto Rico while in the Navy....
S E Lightfritz it really works too!
You two have really stepped up your video presentations! They're so entertaining and all of us are enjoying thoroughly!
I just love sailing with you guys. Thank you for making it possible! I am 68 now and I have never been sailing on the sea.
Glad to have you with us :)
An absolute pleasure to watch such beautiful videography. Awhile plenty of watchers have plenty of reasonable advice, I hope you keep doing things the "Wynn's way." It's a great timeout in my day to enjoy your adventure. Thanks!
Awesome music in this video, it made watching it feel so adventurous like we were there with you! Also your vids could easily be twice as long and we would be happy campers. I'm only bummed when they end! Thanks for another great one, guys.
Lots of up-keep to maintain a lovely boat. But so worth it. You both are awesome people. Blessings to you and always safe journeys.
You guys are in your stride now. Great video!
use your cordless drill with a beater rather than a drill bit. Works great as mixer. Charge when mortoring.
Your cats are getting use to their large aquarium to look at. I see the delight in their eyes!
Thanks for the tour
You two compliment each other very well, its fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
You guys are awesome. I hope to meet you in the water some day. Fair winds and happy holidays.
It feels like you are posting more often and I am enjoying that;) love seeing your adventures
they made $1500 a video so of course they would post more

I don't know if money is an issue for them....they seem pretty well off...I could be wrong.
peter yeung Money is definitely an issue.
Thomas if you are referring to Patreon those numbers are horribly skewed as many of our Patreons set a limit to their project funding.
I-seeums on the deck!!!
Another Beautiful Video ... Thank You ...
I'm sure there's downsides but it must be so great to have all the time new places to walk! I get to bored with the same neighborhood to walk in. Thank goodness for podcasts et al and e-book readers.
My partner and I were anchored at Allan's, Powell, and Moraine Cays the same time you were! We are SV Moonshine. Nancy and Guy are both friends of ours. We can't wait to get back to the Abacos this winter. Thanks for the beautiful footage"
thank you so much for taking us along you make my day
Magic video. Awesome music!
You might have already had this suggested but its usually easier to sit on the starboard side of the dinghy and control the outboard motor with your left hand. Thats why the tiller is always on the port side of the motor.
That was a gorgeous Island. I use my s shaped potato masher when I'm making cookies like that. Along with my silicone spoon of course.The potato masher works really well when I'm mixing oats and raisins together.Good idea to put them in the freezer. When I make cookies in the trailer I can't put very many in the stove at the same time.
Do you ever think you'll get bored being on a boat all the time? Like an RV, it seems to me like you could go on forever, as long as the finances/weather holds up.
Very cool music with your videos Thanks!
Beautiful. You guys seem like it is all natural to you. Have fun and thanks for sharing.
the caribbean can be so scenic. your videography is top-notch. the drone shots are excellent. thanks for sharing.
I haven't seen you guys scrape and scrub the hull yet. It will make for a faster boat. I've had our boat increase half a knot speed after getting all the barnacles and algae off. Happy sailing and love the videos!
You guys are the only channel who mentions the No See Um's! We're moving to Florida in less than seven weeks and wondering how we're going to cope! Mom uses this stuff called "No No See Um's" and swears it works.
So great! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Magic erasers and other products like that work by disintegrating - the broken off plastic bits are the abrasive as you scrub. So...you are essentially washing small and smaller particles of plastic into the water. Or for you at home - down your drain into whatever water source your drains end up in. Horrible products to use. But I do enjoy your videos immensely so thank you for them and safe travels.
some of the beat videography ever.
Agree with Steve L. The drone footage adds a whole lot to your productions.
I love your guys sailing videos!
Who the hell keeps disliking your videos? That's ridiculous! Anyway, the drone footage of the surrounding islands is amazing. Love the videos! Keep up the good (but arduous) work :D
Austin Weideman They sadly have a few fruitloops that stalk them and spout nonsense,...but we're here to tumb s**t up 👍.
It's the CZcams Trolls. They have 1 tooth, and sit around their trailers in poo stained underwear, and collect welfare. They have nothing better to do than hate on people who work hard on creating wonderful, informative videos for us.
just trolls hating on the Wynn's. I agree why would anyone thumb down their videos.
Jealousy, it seem we live in a world where some people think they know it all and always try to find something to prove that they are smarter than everybody else. They are the kind of people when ask to do something, usually say it can't be done, when they see somebody prove them wrong, they try to find negative thing to say thinking they will fool their follower into thinking they where right. No mater what you do or say, they will say and do the opposite and try to prove they are one who's right.
Brings back a lot of memories.
You should head down/over to Spanish Wells off North Eleuthera.
I lived there for 3 years. So calm and peaceful.
Use those Magic Erasers as little as possible. They strip all the wax off the boat. I just use it on the hard to get out marks.... You guys are awesome keep up the great work!
No, I thought she was going to say a glass of wine. You two are so cute! Great video. Love the land adventure!
The song Hey Child, by Korbee is such a perfect vibe for GWTW videos! The editing mixed with this track is perfect! You guys should make a Hey Child, Korbee come back for 2021! 😁
was in and around powell/marsh harbor several years ago on a trip, absolutely beautiful! thanks for the great vid and bringing back many memories
I worked construction in Ft Myers. We started early working by the lights of the concrete trucks, the noseums ate us up! You couldn't use anything like Off bug spray because you would fry when the sun came up. Just had to take it. Good luck be safe.
Looks like a fun life
I'm really enjoying the incorporation of your drone footage...
What a lovely episode! Domesticity on the High Seas :D
Thats my favorite and so typical in the Bahamas. Windy people complain and when the wind stops the BUGS come out and you complain more. A breeze is MUCH better
What a beautiful place.
Nice video. Keep that boat clean. At least you don't have to climb up on top of an RV.
Why do you keep the freezer outside when you have two three empty cabins? Then it wouldn’t have corrosion. Vent the exhaust outside. Then it would also help cool the boat. Also would be interesting to adopt a hybrid water heater (ones with a heat pump) for a boat. Get hot water and AC with just solar. Or route the built in fridges coolant lines through the hot water tank.
You two are doing it BIG!!! So cool to watch.
Thanks for all the recent videos you two, so awesome!!! :D
That was a good trip to anyplace warm. Thanks! It's -1F tonight. Really keeps the mosquitoes and noseeums at bay. Hard to find in the snow....
You guys are great! Thanks for all your hard work making great videos.
music selection and mixing was great
Oh! I get soooo excited when I see there's a new Gone With The Wynns video and so sad when it's over and I have to wait for the next one. :)
I kinda found this video very Relaxing and Calming compared to the others...I think the lack of wind helped...
Makes me remember African Queen (the movie), he's your Bogart to your Hepburn! Until the bugs get you and you hide, shivering, under a tarp!
Chris Campbell ha, totally :)
Chris Campbell those were leeches but, no seeums arg
Chris Campbell did you know the original boat from the movie is sitting at dock in Key Largo ? You can even go for a ride on it.
Use a wooden spoon to cream the sugar and butter together. The add the dry ingredients.
Great sound track for the video, especilly the drone shots! Korbee. Thank you.
Loved how you used the music in this episode. Can't wait till the next!
Loving the drone footage you guys are adding. Looks fantastic.
Really enjoying your drone footage
i love watching yall
Great video favorite channel
Hey
Nikki get yourself a ballon whisk and a copper bowl to cream your eggs and sugar. The copper reacts with the albumin in the eggs and saves time/effort.
Always a good time for coffee. You missed the structure fire in -15'ish wind chill in Oklahoma. LOL... enjoy the weather!
This is the type of video I watch you guys for! Great drone footage and music!
Great video guys!
You guys are great! Taking on the challenges so that you can enjoy the cruising lifestyle. Don't listen to those pinheads that are negative as they try to make themselves feel intelligent and important. Keep up the great adventure and videos!
Nikki you have to get a dough whisk for this hand work you will LOVE it
Agree a Danish Dough Whisk is the ticket. $10 from Amazon or Breadtopia.
or even a pastry blender :)
They are great for bread doughs, quick breads , brownies (with ice cream of course) no more knocking half of the ingredients out of the bowl.
Such amazingly beautiful beaches and waters! And you made me hungry for those cookies....
hi guys love the vids thanks for all you time in making them i really enjoy your channel
Loved the music in this one!
Awesome vlog . I see in your previous vlogs that you have met some interesting South Africans (broker guy , welder and the chap that assisted you in training) . The drone footage has certainly added another dimension . Thank so much for sharing
+Rob Prideaux yes, it's amazing how many South Africans we have met in the last year.
Awesome. I too live in Port Elizabeth one of the southern cities in South Africa
i like the background music in the videos, it's a nice addition
LOVE watching your videos and keeping up with your adventures!
You guys are a great team
For the "no see um' bug bites try using Absorbeen Junior roll on. Apply/Dab 2 spots under the bill of a baseball hat and one on top of the bill, then one more dab on the back of the hat. That should keep the bugs away for 2 hours.
Amazing film as always. Haven't drone's revolutionised filming. Have a Happy Christmas.
very good video as always have fun on your travels
Great video! Absolutely loved the music in this one!
Thanks, you two, for another great video.
Your traveling life has gotten so cool.
I enjoyed the island exploration. It looked like a super idyllic place.
Cookies! Hell, yes!
Thanks, also, for showing the boat washing. That was super interesting.
Rock & Roll!
Like your drone footage. Technology is amazing isn't it.
Amazing!
Merry Christmas
Absolutely love the song choice you had on here.. (Korbee) You guy's rock... You guys inspire me to do the sailing life too.. Who knows I might just end up dropping anchor next to you guys someday soon.. Keep on doing the blogs...
Another cool video. Loved the soundtrack too, I've never heard of Korbee but have just downloaded Hey Child, great track. Stay happy and safe😊
such beautiful scenery!!
I am soon happy for you two. Love and Light and I love the tunes you guys picked for your vid :)
Great video!
