__________________________________
We may have to make some major boat modifications soon, because treasure hunting could be our new full-time gig! Turns out the Philippines are one of the world’s biggest hotspots for shipwrecks and lost treasure. 🤯
As luck would have it, we meet a legendary sea explorer (we're talking Jacques Cousteau meets Indian Jones) who offers up his list of over 200 undiscovered shipwrecks. 🪙🏴‍☠️💰 Considering the insane discoveries he has made; the list could make us legendary too. CURIOSITY 3.0, Gone With Ship Hunters?
If that isn't enough to whet your appetite, then our next adventure should. We meet up with our new friend Jay who is a local sailor and Filipino food expert. She takes us all over the Subic area introducing us to the local markets and delicacies. Fair warning...don't watch if you are hungry.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

I'm in Canada, but I grew up so intrigued with love for the Philippines. Throughout my life I have been surrounded by such nice and inviting Filipinos. From friends in elementary to high school, and with every job I have ever had. Due to this, I do know a little Tagalog. When I speak even a little Tagalog, they light up that I know anything in their language. Their joy brings me joy. Plus, the food is amazing as well. I hope to visit the Philippines one day!!

[@michaelgriffis5259]

I love it when they deep dive a location. Figuratively not literally

[@jeanefraserCEO]

❤ Sweet

[@gonewiththewynns]

So, what do you think? Should we start turning CURIOSITY into an underwater wreck hunting ship? I bet we can get Jay to join in too. Good food and lost treasure...sounds like a good combo.

That would be neat

[@palguy64]

Absolutely, it would be such an adventure and I would love to tag along. I'm so excited just at the chance you might dip your toes into treasure hunting even if just for an episode.

[@americangoldcup6930]

Love AG1 it’s been a month and I am feeling much better 😊

[@bearitraeb]

I don’t think you’d be happy for long doing that. I would love to see some cooking shows onboard with Jay Jay could combine her loves

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

AG1 sucks!

[@davidnichols147]

As a licensed Merchant Marine officer, we frequented Subic Bay often, replenishing our US Navy ships. Crime at that time was quite high, yet going ashore at night with multiple crew members eased our tension. Love this episode, amazing cinematography, thanks for sharing.

[@CCB249]

I have a friend in DC who's father owned "National Geographic" when he was young. Jacques Cousteau used to be a frequent dinner guest at his house growing up.

[@Kecarter1]

OMG so so long since we are back to your roots!!! Woop woop woop....travel videos....gosh I have missed those so much and I did not realize how much. Because you filled the last two years with good content too. Been watching you guys since the RV days in the beginning. You help us dream bigger and give us the courage to go behind you later to places as we can. Peace and safe adventures. TY

[@theicangram]

AGREE!!! It was ssssooo nice to see a full travel video! They are so good at showing off a local find!!

[@jeanefraserCEO]

❤ The new boat home looks marvelous. Happy 🎉🎉

Chico is also known as Níspero. Very popular in the Caribbean and Costal lands in South America. It is said that the nut can be liquified with the fruit as an alternative non invasive procedure to remove kidney stones. Glad to see a young entrepreneur so dedicated. God Bless her.

[@davethomas7088]

Nice to see Subic, I’ve been going there for 40 years, in the Navy, station dito in the 80s at Cubi. I’ve done many visits to Vascos and the Coastal terminal next door. Very nice lots of great memories.

[@mrrewog]

My ship was always at the ammo pier on the other side of Cubi point. I haven't been back since 1984. Maybe when I retire I will visit again.

[@aulii11]

It's certainly changed a lot since I was last there in 1968! I would love to go back, it's so beautiful!

[@gervaisbilodeau8465]

I was in Barrio Baretto, Subic Bay last Sunday. Yesterday came back from a 5 days motorcycling to north Luzon and crossing the Cordillera. Still so much to see. Love the P.I.

[@user-pe3zk3jf7m]

You brought back some great memories. I was in Subic Bay in 1973. It was a Navy base back then. The people are so friendly I made a lot of friends there.

[@lambda4931]

I was there in 73 -76 too. USS Marvin Shields

[@scottlarsson]

I am so happy you are back sailing! These are the episodes I love so much. So many channels going through the build process, I can only imagine the stress of it to be honest. Thanks for getting right back to it 😊

[@philgardiner445]

I did not see any sailing.

[@JeffJensen55]

@@philgardiner445 The best “sailing” channels (for me) are those that mix sailing and discovering new places and cultures - and their previous couple episodes were sailing. Nothing but sailing becomes boring. ❤

[@SailingWildeBleu]

What a ridiculously cool place, and the guy curating this museum is definitely one of the most spectacular parts of the history here. There should be a docu-series done to tell the stories he has collected over the years he’s spent here uncovering sea-bed graveyards. This is why I loved getting to spend the years I have in Asia. These kind of people and places are just randomly scattered all over the place and waiting to be appreciated. Most of them will never be seen for what they are worth. Thanks for using the platform you guys have built to put this one “on the map” for us! …and then the second part of the video, definitely giving “Somebody Feed Phil” a run for the money! Well done!!

[@HansMontenegro-by1cm]

Here I was, just admiring your boat with no clue I was talking to sailing royalty. Nice to have met you in Subic! I was the 36 foot twin outboard parked next to you in Vascos and you told me the HH cats would now be built in Cebu. Safe sailing and hope to see you again on the water sometime!

[@darrellyoung9586]

So much to do in Subic. My wife (Filipina) enjoyed seeing the old market, where she has shopped many times. Our home is on the beach in Iba, 75 km north of Subic. The Filipino food is great. We are at our home in WA now. We left the Philippines a few days before you arrived in Subic. We have Lumpia in the freezer ready to eat whenever we want. When at home in Iba, I have 2 Mangoes each morning. Zambales mangoes are the best.

[@robwasnj]

So happy to have you back showing us far off lands, the people and culture. Loved this episode.

[@BB_Chaptsick]

Very cool episode. It’s great to have you both back on the water. Seeing the local markets and food is so interesting. Thanks for taking us along! Be safe and see you next week.

[@petesheppard1709]

It's great to see you discovering, exploring and ENJOYING again!

[@lavonyoung2366]

I would like to say that I have been following you guys every since you were in the RV. I am retired and living here in the Philippines. I am now in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental. While in the US Navy I was stationed in Subic twice. I lived there for 6 years. It is a wonderful place.

[@Shibalvr]

So happy to see this! Been waiting so long and it’s off to an awesome start! 😊😊😊😊

[@theicangram]

I just have to chime in with the rest of the commenters!!! SSSSSsssoooo good to see your best content again!! Thank you for teaching us the build process and A GREAT BIG THANK YOU for bringing us back to regularly scheduled programming; adventures and cultures!!! Great video!

[@CB-yv3ec]

Your boat was absolutely gorgeous sitting at the dock.....the white, black and green is just stunning

[@barbaracarlson7402]

Great video! It is so fun being “introduced” to the people you meet. I am so glad you are exploring via sailing again, you both looked so happy in this video!

[@ejod_who]

I was stationed at Subic Bay while I was in the Navy back in 1991. I loved it there.

Great seeing y’all enjoying your boat AND the fabulous locations. Good to have you back on the water!

[@garysmoot1144]

This was the perfect video right back in your wheelhouse. Your new boat is absolutely fantastic. You documentented it perfectly all the while showing us what was going on around you. A couple weeks of boat tours and right back to travel log videos. Perfect. You guys are the best.

[@effortlesschoice]

While in the US Navy, we spent many months in Subic Bay (USS Tarawa LHA1 - ship repair facility). Also worked at Cubi Point Naval Air Station (temporary assigned duty). My experiences all happened in the late 1970s. Would love a tour of the whole place to see how it’s changed. The Philippines and its people are wonderful. We always made a point of getting out of Olongapo and traveling out into the countryside. You’ll enjoy your stay. 👍😎

[@jleer6178]

What an exciting episode! The energy was off the hook!

[@jimscanoe]

Yes, Philippine mangos (I call them Manila mangos) are the best in the world-I'm having one for breakfast today. As a nurse in San Francisco, California, I worked with many Filipinos nurses-with their beautiful smiles and their kind, generous nature, they're also the best people in the world. The market looked amazing. And, of course, thank you so much Nikki and Jason for showing us around-I love that you're under sail again.

[@williamschmierer1801]

Spent many days in Subic Bay while in the Navy during the Vietnam war during 1971-74

[@michaelbellipanni7656]

It was in 1980 when last in the Philippines. The USS Virginia CGN 38. The first East Coast ship to go to Subic Bay then into a floating Dry Dock since the Vietnam War days, Left out of Clark AFB to get discharged from the Navy after 4 years. I'm very much thinking of relocating to the Philippines. Love the Great content. Happy The Boats not had any major issues. God Bless.

[@mattnardoni5695]

Such a beautiful place to be staying on the new boat!!! Congrats on the next chapter of your adventures. I enjoy your videos and look forward every week to the next one.

[@ArnelCustodio]

Glad you got to explore Olongapo! Virginia Beach's sister city! The markets are always so amazing to me - when I was last in the PI (different part), we got up at 4:00 AM to make sure we got what we wanted from the market. Looking forward to see more of Curiosity sailing and your explorations there!

[@palguy64]

I wait for this every Sunday morning so nice to have you back on the water and in your new home 😊😊😊😊😊

[@smartbiz888]

What a great episode! Guys, The Philippines has soooo much to offer... It's more than sunken ships and treasures...You've captured that in these shots... I've spent some time there and enjoyed each moment (even the frustrating ones, haha)... Love that you're back out and about with Cat in tow... Take care and...enjoy!!! 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍

[@sgilman1985]

Finally! Wohoo! I was wondering if there was going to be one this week.

[@camilleann4040]

I had the pleasure of growing up here with Brian’s son. This place holds the best memories of my life. Brian is such a cool and amazing person, he taught me how to play billiards. I have a huge scar on my knee from slipping on wet concrete there 😅. Used to play hide and seek in the museum and have sleepovers in the rooms. I love this episode so much.

[@kjones2008]

The Wynns’ settling into their groove utterly charms this watcher. It is so enjoyable to see and experience a small slice of Filipino life. Thank you for sharing. I so appreciate the positive you inject into this world. 👏 Way to go Nikki, Jason, and crew!

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Great introduction to the culture of the Philippines. I also love food. Cooking and eating. What could be better!

[@RedHeadAgent]

I’ve been thinking about you and RR2 this week. My husband and I are in Mexico on a beautiful beach where many large catamarans bring tourists to spend a few hours. When I see the boats, I marvel how large and graceful they are. It would be fun to see your turquoise hull sail round the bend but I know that you’re on the other side of the world and that wouldn’t be possible.

[@spenser5719]

Exceptional episode Wynns! It flew by leaving me wanting MORE!!!

[@enzedracing3641]

This is what I've been missing on your channel! A great vibe with the locals and a HEAP of information all crammed into one, short video. Even the little things like Jason describing the motorbike taxis 🤙🏽

[@LaurieShannon-gr2ts]

Jay looks like an amazing host and tour guide. She dabbles in so many areas. What a driven young lady. Great job this week Nikki and Jason. This was very entertaining to watch.

The idea of a series dedicated to uncovering lost treasures would be surely intriguing. And speaking of treasures, in the realm of mangoes, Alphonso mangoes in my opinion reign supreme.

[@michaelsonoyao9881]

Oh my. Them's fighting words. Time for a mango standoff then? 😋

[@handroids1981]

It's sounds great. I've only seen the "Real" ones on generic streaming channels.

[@iamedyboy]

Manila mango or Carabao mango still holds the Guinness Book of World Records to be the sweetest variety of mango. I am not sure if that one in the video from Zambales is the same.

[@HueNarcisWorld]

Did you try Coconut Crem mango ? They have in in Pine Island Florida. And many others

[@edieiyon]

No! Manila mango is the gold standard.

[@e.phoenix2686]

You guuuuysss 😭😭😭 I'm not even done with the video and I'm already just obsessed. I've scoured YT for videos of sailors in the Philippines, not to mention a few people have been there recently and made new videos. But this is the best one so far, hands down! I'm so glad you made it there, can't wait to finish this and binge the rest. ❤❤❤

[@dhincks1]

1977, wow, I was diving all over California & Hawaii working in the dive industry. I'm amazed i didn't hear of this discovery. It must have been kept under wraps. Otherwise, a gold rush would have ensued. The US diver mark 5 doubled hose regulator was dated in 77. We were using single hose by then. In 77, I was 24. I went and saw Jacques-Yves Cousteau on the Berkeley campus around 74. I worked in a dive shop owned by AL Giddings Sylvia you mentioned also would come through. I had a conversation with JFK Jr. Who also hung out with AL. AL developed the first underwater 70mm camera that he filmed the movie The Deep. Cheers from Northern California!!!

im Filipina Watching in HongKong We are Your regular viewers also boater/wake surfer here. we started watching You long time on youtube big TV screen thats why i dont usually comment. Now i have to watch again on phone so i can comment since You are in my country. We watched this episode already months ago. I just came back watch & comment as i found out & learn something useful.. We were updated since your old boat videos from the day You departed US land/water to South America & pacific islands to New Zealand & all islands trips then covid & to new boat and wow im amazed with how Australian came to do that with their ph under water discoveries. im with Australian friends here too. They plan to bring boats from HK to Central Ph and the expert suggest to get into Subic bay area as first stop arriving ph. Good to know there are good stuff there. Been there maybe 20yrs ago Subic was not crowded.. a very nice place but cant remember where. It was school trip from Manila. Hope to see you here when You come Back HK ether with Your beautiful boat or You buy some boat gear again. Cheers

[@sailorpete136]

Great to see Brian at Vascos looking so well as we stayed there last year and often shared a table for beers in the evening. Having sailed there from Vietnam twice now I can attest to the safety and facilities available in Subic Bay. When buying pineapples at Olongopo market the ladies will peel and cut them up for you.
