SAILING TO SALVATION ISLAND

[@heatherb1988]

Good morning from Prince Edward Island, Canada 🇨🇦. I look forward to your videos every Sunday!

[@LSturboguy]

me too

[@wvusciguy]

Love pei!

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Fun fact, that fantail is the only fantail found on New Zealand! The reason they're so flirty next to humans is to hunt! They do it to catch any insects that are disturbed by human things like walking. In Māori mythology, they are a messenger, bringing news of death from the gods.

[@djalilesfahani6825]

This is the only channel people donate you and you really deserve it because I know you spend lots of time for those shots you’re taking it appreciate it from all of us who is watching it your video

[@Kecarter1]

Have been following since your motor home days guys, absolutely you both never fail to inspire us to adventure more. Be better people of a positive outlook is the motto you both throw off in everything you do, bless you both for all the blessings you give us all.

What are they doing to repopulate the wild, Just asking for a friend? 🤔

[@conniehowe5421]

Yes Love your adventurous life … ❤❤

[@ObelixMagnetFishing]

If I may give you a tip, make sure you have at least 1 combustion engine on board, because there have been 3-4 movies where all the electricity will go out what can happen to a neutron bomb. Make sure you have a sextand on board so you don't get into trouble and if necessary a depth lead. I say this for a reason, because we are heading for the great tribulation that lasts no less than 33 years. If you don't believe that, then just rely entirely on electricity and if things really go wrong you can always pray, it's not too late for that.

[@Avidgolfer1]

You always pick great music to go with your wonderful videos. Hope you know the great joy you bring to so many people!

[@dhincks1]

I've been successful with two anchors, one in deep (enough to float dinghy) water w/ buoy and block a painter loop about 100' long to an anchor on shore. You get 50' of distance. Set the deep anchor come to shore pull the dink back out. When done with shore time pull the dink back in. Saves on swimming when the tide changes. Especially useful in colder water with large ish Tide's. Washington / Canada San Juan's/ gulf islands. I use this technique a lot. Cheers from Northern California!!!

[@gabsi64]

Oh no - my daughter is the restaurant manager at Man o War - she could have shown you around, it’s an amazing place!!!

[@Dave85262]

You always manage to have fun wherever you are. It's the other side of curiosity. The name of your new boat must be, CuriosityToo. I excited for the both of you, I can't wait to see it in all its glory!!!

[@Shelbourneworld]

Wow, such clarity in your video I’ve noticed this time! Brilliant. The beautiful colour of the sea helps! But I’m watching on my iPad in bed in our Fiat Globecar motorhome in a field by the sea in Devon, England, and it’s been rather cloudy and rainy today. Wish we were there! Thanks for sharing your adventures

[@robertarohwer3861]

When we were in NZ we were fascinated by their reforestation efforts. Makes you wonder why we cannot manage something like this is our country? (USA) They (NZ) are absolutely magnificent in this area. Beautiful country. .... all of it.

[@enderdragoon]

Time for some dinghy wheels :P 16:00 I love the bits about "just sailing" and seeing the process of it, the little steps of problem solving you have to do along the way and such, this makes me giddy. Once you get that new boat with electric drive... never again will you have to justify the use of it or examine the pros/cons of motor sailing. Can't wait for you to have that new freedom, free of "the iron price" of that iron wind. What then would Kent call it... E-Wind? Also, here's to hoping your new boat has a bowsprit so you can put a massive asym spinnaker up for those light wind days. Also also, Curiosity is looking phenomenal, considering how she was holding up after the covid lockdown in Tonga, all those hours of TLC, new sails, new trampolines, enclosures, glass, etc... she's probably the best equipped and looking Leopard 43 on the ocean I would bet. High five, guys!

[@cindyjugglegoddess7821]

You guys are my dessert every Sunday night. I see your videos released on Sunday morning here in Pacific standard time, but I hold off until just before bed to watch your wonderful episodes. Yet another beautiful video. So scenic, fantastic editing. I can’t even imagine how long it takes to edit what you guys push out. Thank you for the reliably beautiful visuals. I’ve been following you for now years. You’re total rock stars and inspirational. Be well and continue to travel safely 🙏🏻❤️

[@noelinsley8057]

We used to call it the Iron Headsail.

[@caroldell5282]

Iron Jenny!

[@EarthBeing3]

You two are the best, nobody compares to your energy and videos. Fun, fun, fun😎

[@damfadd]

You 2 are in inspiration for my life and my relationship your amazing together and so beautiful and team working it.. Just incredible.. And still. Going strong after all these years. Thanks heaps for a perspective change every friggin week .. Just amazing Cheers

[@timdunn2387]

In my sailing days we referred to the motor as "the iron mains'l"

[@ALittleCLAIREification]

What a beautiful day! Also Jason talking about the "sweet little bird songs" was like a Bob Ross Moment. Haha You guys are so much fun. Fingers crossed for a Patreon update soon. Have a great week! xo

[@barbaraknapp6970]

That's EXACTLY what it reminded me of too!!!

[@bridgetalves5667]

Oh what beautiful scenery! And the footage of those dolphins just made my day 💕Lovely vlog, you guys are just delightful

[@clay.willoughby]

That was an excellent Wynnsday! I vote for more Nikki modeling her outfits! P.S. I sill haven't seen my carrot cake.....maybe my mailman ate it....

[@neilevenden3481]

As an active Salvation Army Officer (Canada), I find the idea of an island Rehabilitation Centre, so interesting. The Salvation Army still operates a Rehabilitation Centre on a beautiful farm that was far from our previous assignment. Great Video.

[@SVImpavidus]

Life jacket or buoyancy aid in a dingy is a good rule. But better still is the rule that you should have the kill cord from the engine attached to the person in control of the boat????

[@billyplays247]

Like a Silent? It's my guess of the week. ;)

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Guess you could say that winery being closed is *a small price to pay, for salvation* since you got to explore Rotoroa instead And regarding that mushroom: They are actually found all over the place from Europe to North Africa and even the US! It is commonly mistaken for more poisonous mushrooms, so best to just leave it alone if you're not sure. And whether it contains a neurotoxin depends on the subspecies. While others have psilocybin, which is hallucinogenic. Hence the mushroom's name.

[@codypalmer9819]

Love you guys, I moved back in with family to save up for a sailboat and I’m expecting to buy next year hopefully. Enter it into charter and use my owner time to learn and get comfortable with the boat and in 5 years hopefully do this for real like y’all. You were my gateway drug to this.

[@srcastic8764]

Buy their boat, Curiosity! It’s still for sale, only $380,000 USD. 😁 But that includes everything, even their fishing rods! 😂

[@codypalmer9819]

@@srcastic8764 I’m buying new and fully electric

[@srcastic8764]

@@codypalmer9819 ah! Full electric is awesome. Quiet and smooth. Enjoy!!

[@marklucero9755]

Love your VLOG!!! If you decide to sail around NZ please pass by Tauranga and Mt. Maunganui. Come over for dinner at The Pizza Library.

[@da___man]

Can we just say that Nikki did a much better job of modelling the wet suit?

[@tmcmsail1]

My dad called the engine the “Iron Jenny” (Genoa)…. Of course he also regularly talked about his German helmsman, Otto - Otto-pilot….

[@mitchpeddicord3715]

Nice to see you guys sailing and smiling! Can’t wait to hear more about the new boat. Will you call her “even more”? lol

[@snafufubar]

Well Curiosity took them out there maybe Satisfaction should bring them back.

[@SarahandMarek]

What a dream! Deciding an an exquisite island to sail off into the sunset towards 😍

[@garychild2064]

Great to see you enjoying NZ. HH44 or OC44 next.

[@greglight3745]

Looks to me that the HH44 checks all the environmental boxes they are looking for .

[@nasastoleman]

Love following along with you all and sharing in your adventures. You all are my get away since I have MS!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Agree that Nat Geographic should hire you all!!!! Wondered if you ever thought of doing either a mp3 of video of the back sounds that are so relaxing? I'd love to listen to that any night if the week!!! Currently my wife and I listen to just Ocean sounds. Thanks for the adventures!!!! I look forward to hearing about your next boat and sustainability sailing!!!!!! Agree with your reasons!!!!! You guys ROCK!!!!

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

Or the Audubon Society......

[@nasastoleman]

@@JustMe-pp1mp that would be another great option.

Do you plan on wintering in NZ again?

Love the yellow too! #thumbnails

Love the name of your gin :). Beautiful sail day!

That was an absolute fabulous watch. Thanks for the post. I’m pretty stoked over here and thinking about making myself a cocktail. Why? Why not. Anyway I just wanted to say, this comment is for the algorithm. #AlgorithmsMatter. lol

Great to see you having so much fun!! Fair winds ⛵️

Good for you both half a million subscribers I have been watching when yo had Wendy Rv.never miss a podcast ❤️😍

[@jorgegorina8358]

Thx for taking us on this journey. How beautiful and so relaxing.

[@Iexpedite1]

My wife and I would always use our gas engine to get up river and troll back down. It is so peaceful running on electric. We also fished an electric only lake….loved it.

[@Merica1776]

Just so you know that you were swimming in the most populated great white shark and recorded largest great white shark area in New Zealand. I was getting that Jaws vibe from you video. Google the island name and great white shark, I think you will agree. Do you guys research the areas you swim in? 😳

[@deegardiner4819]

We'll be heading to Man of War Queens birthday weekend if the weather allows. We'll worth the visit.

[@sputnikalgrim]

Thank you for sharing another wonderful day with us!

[@BabyInCorner]

Hey Wynns! 😄🛥 remember me? I finished my first semester of nursing school on Wednesday and passed with an 86!! I’m in the process of moving into my RV this week to live in it full time and travel part-time until I finish school!! I have the next 3 months free to go on an awesome road trip and I’m so excited!! ☺️ My plans changed so I’m gonna be solo with my 2 cats but I couldn’t be happier honestly 🚌🌈 So I just wanted to say hi again I will let you know in August how everything goes 😄🎊 Also, I’m super excited to see your new boat!! Happy sails! 🛥🍀☺️

[@wwomannc4834]

Congrats and have so much fun!!! Take pics and journal.

Thank you for taking us with you on another adventure. Another name for a sailboat engine is “the iron jib”. 😄. I’m so enjoying your tour of New Zealand. Your videography is definitely National Geographic quality. 👍

[@frankyates1054]

I've been enjoying your adventures for so long now I have to say watching every Sunday its like reading a good book,always entertaining.

[@MikeHarrison3266]

So sad to see your adventure end so terribly, no sane human could possibly imagine a continuation of this epic series with an empty wine rack. The closed winery could not begin to fathom the devastation they caused with being closed for your arrival. This is a sad day for humanity and a worse one for meerkats although why meerkats I am unsure.😉😊

[@gonewiththewynns]

😂😂

[@Sel4by2]

Just for the record , was there in the weekend and the platters/ wine was fantastic 😊

[@liz.mcdonough]

Nice video. Less music, more ocean sounds. Like it much better.

[@gefginn3699]

Great post my friends. I appreciate the natural sights and sounds of the local birds and the waves ( minus the music). Much love, care and blessings to you two. Stay strong, free, happy and healthy. 🥰🌴🌞⛵

[@commonsense246]

Those short encounters with dolphins are worth all the hard work and money of your adventures...at least for us watching...lovely...thanks so much.

[@A_Bunch_of_Savages]

This feels like an old school Wynns video - just the right work/play ratio. And Curiosity has never looked better.

[@melissareid640]

Agreed. 💝🙏💝prayers for your family and your travels guys!

[@ariellesoullighting4309]

💯

[@bonpapa]

If there is an awards show for youtube videos, would expect y'all to win several categories. Very enjoyable.

[@LaughterOnWater]

Beautiful sail, and lovely bird sanctuary! Nat Geo, hire this crew! Glad you found safe harbor for the bad weather! As always, stay safe out there!

[@Sel4by2]

Magpies have a great voice , but also great at attacking your head when defending their nest ! Thanks for coming down under 😊

[@carsonc1272]

Dropping hints about the new boat being electric 🤔 I hope you two will let us in on the secret soon!

[@johmoetho]

Hi, Wynns. Fellow travel geek here. Love your stuff! Would you mind telling us here in the comment field, what is the name of that mushroom identifying app? :)

[@maartentoors]

I always love your music choices SO much! Thank you guys again for making my Sunday! Love from Amsterdam!

[@Shibalvr]

Agree, wish they would add titles so we know who is singing

[@ranganuiaotearoa8324]

You are not the first to be caught out by the tides around the Hauraki Gulf! Rotoroa is a beautiful space with a unique history. The winery is great but the wine prices are a bit eye watering (but taste.wonderful).

[@wwomannc4834]

Love the thumbnail btw. Enjoyed the walk in nature and Nikki, your new wet suit looks great on you! Loved Jason’s energy today. ❤️❤️❤️

[@mydanishgarden3112]

When it comes to losing your drone, you should check out the Lost in Transit Channel, I think they've lost 2 or 3 drones now! Lovely vlog again today 😊

[@robkieckhafer2583]

Every time I watch these it looks like you two are both so happy. Being trapped on a small boat 24/7 together has got to be stressful so I praise you both and hope you both continue to keep things happy and exciting and many more episodes coming.

[@russelljohnson4527]

I hope NG takes you up on your "offer". You have quite an impressive body of work!

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Thank you for naming which sails you're taking down and putting up! I've been watching your videos for months and now am able to name them. Safe travels ❤️

How come you live under the sun for years and do not develop a suntan ..... It is a mistery for me ..... no suntan .... no sunburn ....

I have been following since you did the motorhome videos. Thanks for the wisdom. We bought a 2018 Tiffin Allegro Red back in 2018 and just love it. Cant wait until you get the new boat. Enjoy.

[@RonInAVan]

Good Morning from the Oregon coast. Long story short, Beautiful and adventurous. Thank You 🙏 safe sailing .

[@pjarnott3639]

Thank you for audio treat of the bird song. The magpie is the sound of NZ for me! Amazing! A suggestion for a future vidéo: given that it is fall with all of the vegetable crops at their peak, can you show us what you are cooking or finding for food? Safe travels

[@russellosborne8795]

Unfortunately the magpie is a Aussie import and not well liked. Having said that they are one of my favourites. We always had semi tame ones around the house growing up.

[@trudymccann3671]

Good Day from Coastal Central Florida! Good to see you so happy, carefree, and engaged in the lovely area of 'Salvation Island'. The birds are charming, nice day, good winds, excellent food; that lunch looked scrumptious! Love your new wet suit, nice look, Nicky. Jason, you are such a Goof, too funny you made me laugh.

It took me 5 months to watch all of the Wynns videos from the 1st RV one to right now. I didn't know how spoiled I was being able to binge 1-5 episodes on any day that I felt like it. Now I'll be waiting around for youtube to ding once a week like pavlov's dog looking for his treat. Wah wah ...🙁

You missed the takahe! One of the rarest birds in the world. We saw 6 there in January. Rotoroa is truly a gift to the people of Auckland. So glad you got to go there. I love seeing my cruising grounds though your eyes. BTW the piwakawaka (fantail) is friendly because you disturb small insects as you walk along, so really you are providing dinner!
