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

Yes please- we'd like to hear your rationale for registering in the Marshall Islands. We are thinking of doing the same but would like to validate our assumptions.

[@jillwest1672]

Yes, please.

[@robthompson7174]

How does your SAR work if registered in a place like Marshall Is.? As I understand it, if you activate your EPIRB, the signal gets routed to the SAR authority in your country of ships registration, and they co-ordinate rescue resources, even if you are not in their territorial waters. Does that happen with the Marshall Islands?

[@user-lk2cj2qs1d]

Merchant ships are built overseas regestered in countries like Panama Marshall Islands , which are flags of convenience for tax puposes, etc Much of the crew is foreign (Which makes it harder for guys like us who want to work on an ocean ship, no lakers) That is a broader response since the WYNNS are all American :) But, it all has to do with less regestration requirements, taxes, et

boats are a pain in the butt

[@RubyDoobieScoo]

The Anker Nebula projectors are the best options if you want a projector you can use on the beach, they've got batteries and internal memory space for movies. Not super high end but the high end ones that are portable are ridiculously expensive.

[@Jim.Hummel]

I was wondering about your registration change, too. I'd love to learn more about the reasons the Marshall Islands is a frequently used location. Maybe if you feel it's too much for 1 specific video you could make some little segments that could be added to your main video. And again, Super, Mega, Ginormous CONGRATULATIONS on your new floating home! I hope she brings you many #Wynning adventures!!

[@deraneaton2576]

Nikki, a solution for your mini movie theater: 1) Projector: Contact Riley and Elayna over at "Sailing La Vagabonde". They showcased a marine-portable projector worthy of consideration. If you see a Rapido-built orange trimaran somewhere around the So.China Sea, it's probably them. 2) Screen: I suggest making this out of a 4 ft x 8 ft x 1/8-in sheet of UV-stabilized polycarbonate (Lexan, Makrolon, etc. -- available from sheet stock industrial plastics suppliers even H/H might know of). Cut to fit, then sand the projection face using 400-800 grit fine sandpaper to have an evenly diffuse surface, then hinge this to the ceiling along one long edge. To stow, use an adhered velcro grip to hold it flush with the ceiling. This is simple, waterproof, and easy to clean when doing a deck wash. Save any leftover sheet stock for other possible boat projects. Blessings, S/V Windwalker

[@shaneriehl223]

Re the projector, we have a Nebula Laser projector. It’s small but powerful, and puts out a great picture. It also stores away really well into a small space. For the screen we did a pop-up screen rather than a pull-down screen that needs to be hung or mounted. When we sail or race our house, all the home-stuff, including the projector screen can be stowed and it’s light. We got fourth in a double-handed race just today! And tonight we’ll celebrate with a movie on a big screen!

Wanted to recommend the Nebula Laser Capsule as well. I've been impressed with their projectors and own the larger portable 4k laser model, but for the sailboat I think the Laser Capsule would be great.

You might want to consider a portable spandex projector screen for your projector. This product is super light, inexpensive, and can be packed into a very small size. You can easily attach using suction hooks, then remove them when not in use. Having spent my childhood on sailboats, I derive a sense of living vicariously through your adventures. Safe travels.

[@curtise7]

Hello Jason and Nikki, I figured I'll put my two cents in on projectors. I can't say for marine grade, but I currently use a Epson Home Cinema 1060 and from the years that I have had it haven't had many complaints. The only suggestion is if you go for a projector always keep a spare lamp bulb for it cause they can blow without warning sometimes.

[@reecejonathancroucher6629]

Thank god this turned out to be a new boat happy experience. I don’t think I could have taken another Sailing KZbinr ‘new boat unhappy’ episode like Nick and Terysa’s!

You know bikini atoll was among other islands there where they were testing nuclear bombs after ww2. I watched a series on those islands, and all metal objects and coconuts and plant life is still full of radiation. So be careful where you go and what you eat, fish. Pull it up on the internet.

So far, loving the new boat. 1. Am wanting to know about the makeup (or make) of the mattresses, 2. Love the idea of the induction cook top. A) do you like how it cooks? B) how do you hold pots steady in rough seas? C) You fought over whether or not to get a dishwasher, and moaned about the price, 1. does it work well, 2. Was it worth it?

[@HHCatamarans]

We make the mattress here at HH. It is a plastic spring mattress so they can bend to be fit inside the cabin doors and they will not rust. Highly breathable memory foam on the top. It's the highest quality mattress we can provide and they come standard on all of our models. Thanks for asking. We will let the Wynns comment on your other questions, although the pots are held in place by a mat (that's all that is needed)!

[@gonewiththewynns]

Thanks for that @HHCatamarans! I was curious about the mattress as well. As for the rest, Nikki and Jason have been cooking on induction since RV days, and love it. Cats don't heel as much as monohulls, so keeping pans in place isn't too difficult. I have seen videos with Nikki cooking where she sticks a silicone mat under one side of the pot to help hold it still when the boat's rocking. You can also do that to help regulate heat under the pan. More about why they love induction can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJyopZWvoMZqgbs And I'm sure we'll get a report on how the dishwasher's performing soon! Curious Minion

[@paddlepop88sup]

as a mattress maker i always make them 25mm narrower both sides and at the top to solve the sheet problem you're having. well worth the effort to have the foam walls sliced down and recut the cover

I’m a watching from Annapolis, Maryland USA… it’s all over the news about a retired couple from the USA who were sailing in the Caribbean, whose catamaran was hijacked and they were killed, so please be careful.. I thought of you both when that was all over the news.. Take care 🙏🏼

[@spacewalktraveller1]

Personally i would be more concerned with all the violence that is happening in America at the moment. What happened to the couple in the Caribbean was really sad to hear, but it's not an everyday event. The amount of shootings, car jacking, home invasion, mass shooting and the list goes on makes sailing in the Caribbean very safe.

@@spacewalktraveller1 ....Really? How many sailing yachts are on the ocean total. Maybe 50,000 ? In the Carribbean, maybe 5,000 ? Now, how many people live in the USA... 250,000,000 ? The ratio of violence is much, much lower in America, per capita. Stop spreading unfounded drama and false information.... and definitely STOP watching FOX fake news.

[@spacewalktraveller1]

@@HappyBuddhaBoyd Actually there are over 330 million people in the US, not 250 million, please don't tell me you live in the US and don't know the population. Can you please let me know where you got the Numbers of 50,000 yachts in the world and 5,000 in the Caribbean. Just in Europe there are about 6 million boats kept in European waters and there are about 10,000 mariners that provide about 1 million berths, fact check on European Boating Industry (EBI). Note, that is just in Europe. Do you know there are about 195 countries on planet earth and about 8 Billion people live on planet earth The US has the highest homicide rate for developed countries and has for decades. It's much higher than other advanced nations, please fact check this. No I don't watch FOX news either and never have. It does sound like the news you watch, is really feed your mind with rubbish, and not facts or figures. Now Happy Little Budha, you may want to go and stand in the Mirror and ask who really is spreading false information, and you may just realize if you have any self awareness, that you are projecting yourself onto others. Please stop spreading false information. I wish you all the very best.

Hi! I know you're excited to be sailing again, but selfishly, I'm stoked for more SAILING adventures (finally!). Some channels have faster boats, some boats have a bit longer lineage, but none has a cuter/happier crew. It was easy to fall in love with Nikki immediately, and to his credit, Jason consistently proves he's an amazing guy. Well done you two!

[@daveruona991]

Nice boat! Congrats n all that stuff. Retired home theater installer. Perhaps an overhead projector mounted just inside the cabin, on a swivel, to rotate in all direction, specifically fore n aft as Nicky suggests,,a roll down screen mobile so you can mount aft or fore. You could possibly mount the projector to retract into the ceiling, if space allows, or just hang there, since it'll be out of the way. Your biggest challenge would be speaker placement. Switchable permanently mounted in both viewing areas would be ideal. Good luck.

Looks really good! Yes projector and screen! Try and slow down for a couple of weeks! Getting to know living on your boat is very helpful to bonding with your boat.

Like so many others, I'm very proud of you two :) I really love how you've handled the transition, and how you've brought HH to us all. Other channels have launches and only focus on drama, while you both make it look easy and effortless when we all know it isn't. Kudos to you, and I can't wait to see where you go and what you do with the new Curiosity. Respect.

WOW that is one great looking boat . Can't wait for the walk about you both look real happy

I can't describe how happy I am for the two of you to be back on the water in your new boat (which is absolutely beautiful!). Though it's been 40 years for me since my last visit, I hope you enjoy the beauty, culture, amazing food and, most importantly, the wonderful people of the Philippines, as I did.

Brilliant, so happy for you guys. It's been a long time coming, enjoy :)

[@frogn8r]

Ha! That's funny, Nikki Nit-Pikki would be fun character (persona) to explore/exploit during these early, new boat reviews. Cheers! Love the new boat!

[@dianesilverstein6475]

We could feel your excitement and happiness all the way here in Texas! Again, congrats, and have fun organizing! ❤

I feel good for you guys, the relief and contentment in your voices suggest the process and wait was worth it. Love the sense of humour from Jason, “we packed our bags away in the most difficult place to get to!” Enjoy your adventure keep the smile on your faces. Can you “swing out” or move your monitors for different helm positions? Maybe this not a necessity. Love the boat, it has an Artistic presence to it. Bons Ventos The Portuguese Wallaby Down Under and Now on top.

What a treat it’s been to go back and watch the two videos of when you found curiosity, and than took her for a sale with the owner, fond memories 7 years ago.
