THE WIND IS OUR FUEL, SAILS ARE OUR ENGINE

[@tperes2566]

Sails are your fuel, but not to just move you forward. They are providing adventure, knowledge, fulfillment and happiness. Fuel for purpose and wonder. The fuel for life… A truly blessed place to be. A toast to new sails that take you safely onto the next adventure! :) Thanks guys

[@Catalina58601]

Oh the winds do roar to carry us to a distant shore, fresh sails above trimmed with care, good watch is made so have no fear, new lands await for our curious two, new lands to show the land bound crew!

I agree.... mainstream tv ain't got what we want...like the real thing like the Wynn's!!!

[@deanallen2862]

Watching your video's reminds me of a favorite travel account I read over fifty years ago, while still in High School. The book was LISTEN THE WIND by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. She wrote eloquently about around the world travels with her husband Col. Charles Lindbergh. That was in an aircraft they owned and the trip was made some time before WW II. The book was just a real pleasure to read and I was vicariously transported to exotic places while pioneering 1930's era high technology. If we did not have modern video cameras and the Internet, I bet Nikki Would become a fantastic travel author. Conversely, I wonder what the Lindbergh's would have produced with our modern technology? As usual, my weekly dose of Wynn's is a great way to start my Sunday morning. I plan to keep watching at least till the new sails wear out in fifteen years.

I'm sitting here watching in total amazement at the number of lines, ropes and other attachments just to get your sails replaced. I would be completely lost trying to figure all those lines and attachment points. What's really funny to me is that I grew up on an Island in Florida but our community was a fishing based community and you just didn't see sail boats very often. It was a big thing on the island the first time a catamaran came to Matlacha Marina. No one had ever seen one. Your sailing community seems like a wonderful set of people. It's so awesome to see such a Great community of people come together to help each other out. Love seeing your videos and the different types of communities you're able to visit

Without seeing this one would think "yeah you got new sails and put them on" bloody hell it's a full day's work. Also that any of those little fittings between the mast rail and the canvas could stop you from installing the sails. Informative! Fair winds (from the right angle) to you guys

[@home-powersystems7782]

Through the ups and down of restrictions, boat repairs and now new sails you guys have been through the wringer and came out the other side beautifully. A little older, a little wiser and ready for any new adventure that may come your way. Good luck and God bless.

I made the exact same analogy about mowing the lawn and cleaning the gutters on the Bums on a Boat channel a couple of days ago! Serendipity. I was using it to say that although you live on a boat and I live in the country, we are both living a self reliant lifestyle and have the trade off between easy and rewarding. For me rewarding wins every time. ❤️

Although I am not a sailor, the tight knit community does have a familiar ring. It reminds me of the aviation community. Someone is always there to lend a hand or to share knowledge and wisdom gained through experience. She looks so fine with her clothing. I have not yet met a lady that doesn't like a new wardrobe. It makes them feel more beautiful and this provides us the benefits of a woman who feels as beautiful as they are. So here's to your next adventure where you hoist the sails and your off like a prom dress.

But it could be a good charity project and at least some of the subscribers might like a piece of the sails that went around the world.
