Last Boat Project As Owners

[@holliday223]

Fell in love with your channel around the time you transisioned from RV to Sailboat. My wife and I have watched you learn to sail, complete tons of boat projects, and explore the world with such an uplifting attitude! We're excited to see your transition to the new boat and continue exploring the world!

It took me 15 fsys from day zero to seroconvert back to negative...don't know if it was just me but I am hearing 10 to 15 days... just info to think about in your travel planning...

[@terrywalters]

Dropping those bearings just gave me anxiety. Hahah

[@LinrudOwiee]

It is so interesting watching the two of you work and live together. There seems to be a natural flow back and forth as you share the work and do things together. I’m sure it’s probably not always smooth but It looks like all that time together has built a strong partnership.

[@desertedenblooms]

I agree. I think its because they have always been best friends first and then fell in love...and they will always be best friends . Passions can come and go but true love and friendships are rare.

Good editing!😁😂

[@garysenecal7683]

I just wanted to take a few minutes to encourage you not to leave anything behind. I sincerely hope that everything you shared together stays with you. It may be a mug or a towel. If your love was shared toward each other with whatever possession you shared just save it. Packing is always prioritizing what you want and don't want to carry with you. I love you two and I hope that you don't throw away a memory you can both cherish together or apart from each other. I am happy you are not suffering to much with carona sars 2 . Your adventures are a treasure with lots of respect and you two are a real joy . Please take care of yourselves for us dreamers who love you and cherish you. God Bless you always and thank you !

[@kcsunnyone]

My 3 children and I were live aboards in SWFL (FM area) for several years while going through a divorce and they were in elementary school. It was so fun and immersive, and walking down the dock to our 2-story barge boat, passing otters and crabs, we left the unpleasantness of land-life behind. It was wonderful and impossible to be depressed for all of nature all around us. I love your videos as they remind us of a special time in our lives. I'm excited to learn about your next boat (hopefully a cat) and future travels. Thank you for your excellent film work and for letting us be a part of it.

[@mrpopo573]

If the youtube algorithm had not brought me to you two we might still be renters, now on year 4 of full time RVing off grid. Mahalos Wynns!

[@tinalouisehenderson8545]

Jason,"what can go wrong"....😂😂😂😂😂 Given the week you guys just had, that is nothing short of precious.😂😂😂😂😂

[@MikeC19100]

It's good to see that you are both recovering from C-19 and can navigate around the marina. Congratulations on selling your boat and on moving forward with your plans for a new home. We aren't moving as fast as you are and even though the home sold on May 16th, we still haven't been able to leave the area due to weather and medical appointments impacting our timeline to get the storage units reduced from six to 3 or 4 at the most. Once that's done, we will be hitting the road in our Fifth Wheel for a National Park tour over the next couple of years. Take care and get well and I can't wait to see what your next boat looks like.

[@asm2436]

Travel tip. Use vacuum space saving bags for your clothes. They are plastic bags you place the your clothes in and use a vacuum to suck the air out of the bag. You'll save a lot of space and will weather proof your clothes too.

[@mp6756]

I'm so happy for you guys. With the level of care in which you treated and maintained Curiosity the new owners will be sailing one of the nicest of the type out there. And for that effort you deserve the best of luck on the new boat and I'm so looking forward to seeing your new home. You traveled, locked down and were stranded during the worst of the pandemic and of all places to catch covid you did it in New Zealand thats epic. I'm glad your feeling better Thanks for taking us along.

[@SeanBlader]

I'd have a hard time leaving behind the electric bikes, as well as the scuba gear... along with I don't even know how much other stuff. Honestly I'd think about renting a storage unit in New Zealand, then sail back in 6 months to pick up all your stuff in your new boat.

[@jugaloking69dope58]

helps to sell the boat quicker is my guess .

[@mvm3897]

What an amazing adventure on your 1st boat. It's been a blast living vicariously through you guys as you travel the world, meet all sorts of amazing people, and exploring places most of us will never get to see. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of it all. Can't wait to see the new boat and what adventures lie ahead.

[@LetsGoRoadTrippin]

I am dying to see the next boat!

[@georgepeat5269iearth]

Melancholy, first sailing channel I started with. Time passing, oceans under the boat. Good health to you both. Wind Wynns always!

[@Flipperwi715]

Your boat is looking soooo good. Future owners are going to be very happy. Can't wait to see your future home.

[@srcastic8764]

As good of shape as y’all have that boat in I can’t imagine any issues coming up on the survey and sea trial. I can’t wait to see your new boat!!!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Seeing the size of the marina reminds me of the fact that Monaco is so small that you can literally see the marina (Port Hercule) within the shape of the country. But NZ's yachting heritage is just as impressive as Monaco's! And although it's sad this is the last Curiosity boat project, it's always nice to start things fresh. For another chapter is around the corner. While you may have gotten it, the fact it took two years for it to get to you says a lot about what you've been doing. Meanwhile I live in a densely populated area like Long Island and I'm thankful that I still haven't gotten it. I'm a bit antisocial because I'm autistic so I didn't have to change much when the pandemic came around.

[@tomreid5184]

Jason and Nikki, it's difficult to explain how much joy you bring to my life. I could say a hundred nice things but I would just be repeating what others have already said. So to let you know what you mean to me, I'll let you know that there are two things I wish for. One is being with Christ when my time here is over. The other would having your attitude. Everything else would be gravy. Even having my own boat doesn't even come close to the smile you put on my face just watching to two of you. I'll close with that thought. See ya down the road. Semper Fi!

[@gonewiththewynns]

awwwe, thanks for the 💙💛💙!!

[@mrsteph751]

The tree at 3:45 is Banksia…it’s awesome, odd and a great backup scrubber!

[@SkylinersYeti]

COVID is just a part of life now. We just returned from camping at Ozette Lake in the Olympic NP. Got COVID as we left. No longer positive but still feeling the effects of COVID. It seems to hang in there. Wednesday we head out for a rafting trip on John Day River. Life continues on regardless. Love your videos and looking forward to your adventures.

[@deanallen2862]

Sharing your lives is such a privilege. You have shown me much of the world it is only possible to experience from a boat. I feel like the two of you are personal friends or even family, though we have never met. It is easy for me to understand how leaving Curiosity has to be a bittersweet experience. I am so glad you are transitioning to another boat and look forward to continuing to live vicariously through the two of you! Nikki, get well, stay safe and keep those videos coming!

[@melissahanley2918]

Can totally relate to trying to condense your life into a few suitcases. When my husband and I moved from the Carribean to the west coast of Canada, we went from having an apartment full of stuff down to 2 suitcases each. It's tough, but in the end we mainly kept the things that meant the most to us. Looking forward to seeing the new boat!

[@lanamatthews5097]

Love and miss your channel... cannot wait for your boat to be ready! ❤

[@shirleyontiveros612]

I pray you both heal fast and back to normal soon.

[@susanc1265]

Hubby and I have had Covid the past week. As your video started and I’m sitting here with such strong body aches and pains, waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in, I thought…it’s so good you guys never seem to get sick! I wouldn’t be able to mange any of the boat stuff the way I’m feeling! And then you share!! So sorry!

[@melissareid640]

Oh my goodness are you okay? Take another week or two.. To recover and do whatever you need to. Thank you for the update. Prayers for your continued recovery. 💝🙏💝

[@jozefemperor]

So you see in the video they are walking, smiling, living normally, one test is pos other neg, and your reaction is like they are on a death bed?? My goodness indeed, your iq is impressive

[@ou812-r1b]

Walking around in cold rain does not induce the flu or pneumonia I'm sure.

[@csmith5548]

I love the uplifting attitude you both have, such a breath of fresh air in todays world! As someone born in NZ and moved to northern Canada, I had to chuckle when you refered to a hooded sweatshirt as “winter clothing”. I cant wait to hear about the new boat! Thank you both for sharing your journey through life with all of us, I hope you both realize how much your positive attitudes towards life help those of us following you! May god bless you both on this newest chapter, and again thanks so much for taking us along for the ride!

[@Thomas-eu6fj]

It's bit of a shock to test positive for Covid. I know because I had Covid despite being careful following all the safety precautions for more than 2 years and finally caught up with Omicron 😁 Glad to hear that you are well. I can't wait to see your new boat ⛵ Being a film professional myself I can tell you that you are not only expert sailers but also excellent film makers !

[@karenpolansky9097]

Glad you’re feeling better! You two have been a bad influence on me. I’m going to get my new boat today! Okay… so maybe it’s just a foldable Oru kayak… but it still will get me out on the water. 😊 Take care of yourselves please. ❤️❤️

So glad you both enjoyed your time at Gulf Harbour Marina... I was fortunate to have been a part of the construction crew in the late 1980 (1987-1989). As one of the Electrical Leading-Hands, wired all the Onland and Onwater Electrical Services... Your fabulous Videos have certainly featured and shown what a great Marina Gulf Harbour still is after more than 30 years - Thank you.

Wow I have been gone for some months now.... So much has changed like new boat, new adventures and sickness... I hope the both of you are happy and the new boat comes on time. The Banks Family 👪 ❤️

Same day I also sold my parents house, the house I grew up in and which was my continuous *safe haven* whenever and whatever happened throughout, even when I was away on three continents for decades while studying, working, got and split a family, and even bought my own house 5 min away. Today, the day after, the tears in my eyes are about to dry as I both realize and are determined that a new chapter in life has started. It just got to be .... thx Curiosity for sharing this moment.

[@taanethomas1480]

Nice subliminal advert for NZ Volunteer Coastguard - not sure if it was planned or not but nice touch. Maori word for Shag is Kawau which may have been one of the Islands in the gulf you could have visited or sailed by. Happy Matariki Maori New Year 😊❤️✌🏿

Thanks for taking us through the process of replacing your traveler line! Sorry to hear you both had Covid, but glad you seem to be on the mend! Excited to see what the next chapter of your adventure brings - good luck with Curiosity!

[@darrellNZL]

I have been lucky enough to be one of the 511K subscribers vicariously following you both from your last couple of RV years. I am sure your wonderful wacky shared curiosity will ensure we 'vicars' will be blessed with many more curious cruises to come. Thank you so much for the journey so far and the journeys to come👏👏👏 I hope you have enjoyed your time in our country, and will so do until you leave. What a shame you have not made it to Wellington where the really 'good days' are (keep that to yourself though and don't tell the Jaffas as they might move down here!😄) Seriously though thank you both for letting us all into your Curiosity. 🙏🤗

Great job replacing the lines ! Similar to replacing elevator ropes including bindings. Of course they are steel with annealed bindings.

[@tom080955]

You guys are just enjoying life so much. Your other yachties are in warmer climates while your freezing in the rain. It’s both your infectious smiles that start the day. It’ll be tough leaving the boat… Will the name curiocity stay with the boat? cheers guys, Jason, rest up.

[@RichardBurdette]

I had the dreaded COVID three weeks ago at 62. Took two weeks to test negative. Days 3 and 4 were the peak. Not great but not terrible but for day 3. Glad to hear you’re recovering. Probably recovered by now.

Opened Umbrella upside down under work projects done on the water. Always 😎

[@wendyrobertson3899]

So glad y'all are beginning to feel better. It took me the better part of a whole month to begin to feel better but I tested positive for 2 months and they still can't explain why. Just happy you two are beginning to feel better. Looking forward to seeing your new home and where y'all head to next. Happy sailing y'all

[@NoRegertsHere]

It’s not uncommon to test positive for a time after recovery, especially if off a PCR

[@underthetornado]

God!!!!! Just sail again. I'll be back when ya do.

Hoping you both recover from covid completely,with no lasting affects, but remember to take it easy on your lungs for months after , that means NO DIVING PLEASE! Be Kind to your bodies. Sending love and best wishes in these final days. Go easy.

[@MrMichaelcurran]

Being sick is not a sailors dream. I’m glad you guys are up and about now. Selling the old boat will help your spirits and signing contracts with the new makes it better. Boy, your a long ways from your RV days. Yet theres is a consistency or thread that runs through it all.

[@familyupgrade]

Omikron is a devious *ucker. Highly contagious, but aspymptomatic. NONE of the ones who had it at (our annual friends-)new years party showed any symptoms. We all got sick, but very little. I had half a day or so, but MAN was I tired after! Took easy two months to stop beeing sleepy all the time. Good luck, Wynns! /Catta from Sweden

It's kinda funny to go back and re-watch those old RV>Boat transition videos and see you about to do that whole move again. Your money stresses at the time buying the boat, the very helpful Kent @ Just Cats, learning to sail. It's been quite the journey! It's sad you're going to miss out on Oz and SE Asia, as it sounds like you'll be starting from the States again. Perhaps go east bound next time :D

Wide ranging emotions here, from bitter sweet- watching your last ever project on Curiosity to a rather sober empathy- as I too had Covid and I know your exhausted body and cloudy brain very well. Some advice (if I may offer it) when your body says rest, drop what your attempting and rest (you won't regret it). I wish you both well.

Cant wait to see the new Boat. Hope you guys recover quickly from your Covid. I got it for the first time about 6 weeks ago. Was just like a bad flu with the added loss of appetite. Lost close to 14 kgs in a month. Good thing lol. Man it rais plenty in those parts. Regards from South Africa.

[@darekb4810]

Jason, I once was fishing and had a Mink find us and try to steal our catch. He was getting rambunctious and we didn't want to antagonize him too much and maybe get bitten... after all it was his river and we were taking his fish. Anyway... we decided to filet the ones we caught and give him the carcasses, and when he got the first one.. He dragged it into the shore grass about 5 m away, and started barking... and we looked at each other..." we're getting more company". Sure enough two minutes later a smaller one (we figured the female) shows up.... he's dragging his fish through the grass making all kinds of ruckus, while she just took hers and jumped into the water... floated downstream with the current... and was back right away. By the time he came back for the second one... she was back for her third piece. I distinctly remember saying to myself... "Yup, you got yourself a smart girl there buddy..." Watching this episode with the "threading of the line"... I said it to myself again... as I've done every once in a while watching you two for the last few years. "Yup, you've got yourself a smart girl there buddy..." Hope all things work out with the new boat and can't wait to see it.
