Thanks for the laugh this morning, the shower incident brought back some memories when the same thing happened to us one time in a campground. We still laugh about it .
Yea, we were once forced to double up in a women’s public onsen/bath in Japan because the mens area was under renovation. Chose the latest hour possible the whole time on pins and needles waiting to get busted. Not exactly a relaxing natural thermal hot spring experience. We then were told the next morning that when we chose the time it was reserved to COUPLES ONLY, for TWO HOURS until it closed for the day. Had a good laugh over that one. Haha.
Gobsmacked!!! What is the most appropriate comment to make watching Nikki "the body" taking a shower. Well done guys so well presented and a lot of fun!!
I always used a pressurized bug sprayer. They are $25 and last forever, very efficient, it’s solar, and they water pressure is as high as you like it. Fits on a small boat and great for cockpit showers.
Yeah, had no idea about the shower situation. Things I never even think about with water lines bursting. That’s crazy! Jason has gotten much better at fixing stuff! Tenacity!
A big thing keeping clean; wow, the savings to DIY at HOME! Eye-opening, to learn about that pricey, expensive five minute military Shower, no bargain! I lived in an Avion Travel Trailer, for six years, roaming all over the West from Texas to Idaho. Your shower environment is a whole different kettle of Fish, not fun. Glad you got the showers fixed, fascinated by the Solar Bag, who knew; backpacking in the Rockies that would have been ideal! You guys are so undaunted by anything! I Love It!
It's SOO great to hear that you two are REAL people!! You've got REAL-LIFE issues and not just some rich TH-cam channel, "Hey, look at us!" type of mentality. A LOOOONG time ago, (like a thousand years ago) we were camping and they had showers. We had to buy tokens to feed the machine that turned on the water. It was "supposed" to be 5 minutes. I found that in the men's room, the timer musta been broken because it didn't turn off until WE turned it off. My wife joined me and we were BOTH clean with as much time as we wanted!
TEASE! Great video! - ya could have let a couple frames slip through :) Hope you get used to the temp up there, its colder down here in Christchurch - but its keeps the bugs away :) Wish I was closer to lend a hand
Totally reminds me of cruising in my 40s and 50s. We also had a solar bag shower and they work perfectly. Thanks for the fun, the laughs, and the memories. ✨⛵⚓🌊🌴👙🌞✨
Honestly your sailing channel is the best I don’t care what anybody says you two are so honest and there’s no artifice you’re totally yourselves in everything you do and I absolutely love it. I like that you don’t try to push your beliefs down the throats of all of us as well.
In addition to the small pump protection strainer you have, our Catana 471 has an additional 6 in diameter Volvo Penta water strainer with a mesh-like bag that catches all the hair and other goodies from both of our shower sumps. Something to consider, it you have the space midway along the shower drain line, if you have access. It is located below one of our floorboards, approximately midway along each hull. All of our bilge pumps are located in our aft engine rooms mounted together in line on a bulkhead in each hull.
My enjoyment of your personalities and relationship, etc. grew some with this video. Kudos for tackling a delicate subject so charmingly and humorously! Love following you from time to time.
Hang in there guys. The warm weather is coming and you’ve got a fabulous cruising ground to explore when your re-fit is done. In settled weather, The Poor Knight’s are a MUST. Great Barrier island, likewise. Enjoy 😉
@@petersmith8134 The Marlborough sounds are, indeed, amazing but watch out for williwaws. Actually, you need to be careful around Whangarei heads in Easterlies, too. Closest I ever came to flipping my Wharram Pahi was just inside Whangarei heads when we got hit out of nowhere by a williwaw.
Hi guys, we just went back and binge watched the Sailing playlist of 284 videos!! What a blast! Just a note to say thanks for the entertainment, just one small note: Their are a bunch of duplicate videos in that big playlist. 228 through to 231 are duplicates of 227. and 225 is a duplicate of 224. Cheers from Australia and hope your NZ refit goes well. Cameron and Marion.
Jason’s acrobatic skills while explaining shower mechanics were quite impressive! So much laughter in this episode! So good! Glad y’all are safe and in good spirits.
The ole infamous shower scramble… That sounded like a definite “aww crap” moment when the stranger came into the shower area while your both were in there. It’s good to know that your able to stay onboard for your showers now. Hopefully some of the repairs are continuing and that you will be able to get some of the bigger repair tasks completed sooner than later. Take care and stay safe down there.
Sounds like a bit of "power sniveling" about the shower situation. : ) My wife and I sailed the coast of Alaska for 15+ years in a 29 foot Columbia I rebuilt and used a solar shower on trips that lasted 2+ months. My wife's one demand for these trips was she wanted to be able to take a shower at least every other day. We used a solar shower and on days when the sun didn't shine I would fill the 5 gallon solar shower with about 4 gallons of cold water and then boil up 2-4 quarts of water in the tea kettle and add that until it was about the right temp. I had a huge canvas tarp we would use to cover the cockpit and doger, hung the solar shower from the boom and showered in the cockpit. It worked for us and we would sail 100's of miles along the Alaska coast. Thanks for the video! Good luck with your repairs! Hope they don't get too expensive..
You both have a delightful sense of humor when you allow it to shine thru …… the shower episode is one of your classics ……. A perfect change up from fighting constant problems …… good luck and stay clean .,,,,,
I have never seen another couple react so well with each other as fantastic as you guys do. You were so made for one another. I wish you many more years of happiness.
I laughed out loud at the thought of hitting the freezing temps running out of the shower wet.. You are a trouper! So happy Jason knows plumping... Loving you both so much.. My Sunday Mornings would not be the same without you two! Thanks for the smiles..
I’m so sad the weather has been bad for you guys at home, but I found this vid interesting and honestly it’s all the mundane things I think about like how does showering go on the road/sea…. Your skin is so beautiful, and hair so flawless I’ve always low key wondered about this, so Thank you, I enjoyed. Stay safe in my mother land and I hope you guys get some better weather Kia tu patoa, ma te wa. Stay safe till next time❤️
Okay, we love Nikki's scene about the shower....exactly how we feel when we used the marina shower. Our sump pump stopped working, so we were forced to - though our marina has very nice showers/facilities ....you still have to wear flip flops....but we did have endless water. But at state run marinas, you barely get 3 min!! Thanks for sharing!
All this shower talk reminded me of taking an outdoor shower( soap included) when I was maybe 7yrs in the front lawn in San Antonio in the rain. I remember it being the most fun shower in my youth. Thanks for sparking that memory 😀
If is funny how camping in an RV is so like a boat. I use the same solar flex panels on my camper. Also, I have the Coleman solar shower in my camping gear. I believe the showers are included in the slip fees at the USA Marinas at least the Charleston City Marina included the shower. That is where I attend sailing school. Currently outfitting a Catalina 25 foot lake boat for sailing until I relocate to the intercoastal. Will use the same flex solar panels and some solar shower bags on board. I was wondering if you can use a camper type hot water heater. My 5-gallon hot water heater can heat the water in about 5 mins when I turn on propane and electric.
Wynns, thanks for being so authentically venerable. As a personal growth coach I can vouch for how well this works. I really do feel like I know you guys better after this episode. And also glad you provided the modest version! :)
Sorry you are experiencing the cold and rain of winter. We were lucky when we spent a couple of months in that area; it was warmer and sunnier. Hang in there; it gets better.
I loved this episode! You show the reality and thats what I love about you both. Wether it's good or bad you show it and that's important. Take care and stay safe! See you next week!
What a great Sunday morning start! My cup of coffee and watching Nikki take a shower! The issue of cold water first has occurred at a place you guys may have stayed at in your motorhome days and that is Lassen National Park. You put your money in & for 20 seconds cold water before it gets warm. The timer is running too! Nice video guys. Stay safe.
That looked like a chilly experience - more like Nikki Polar "baring" it for the team... :). Enough to give anyone watching chill bumps! Plumbing on boats seem more complicated than it needs to be. Thanks for showing how it works on your vessel.
We live in a caravan and a lot of what you said regarding showers rung true with us 😃❤️ thanks for your wonderful videos. We enjoy watching them every Monday. We have found ourselves in Northland for lockdown too. We hope you are both safe and doing well 👍🤗
I love your Sunday stories! I hate waiting all week for Sunday morning to come tho😓 I wish you guys could do 2 videos a week! I just love watching you both so much! It’s the highlight of my week! You always make me smile & laugh! Keep up the amazing work & journey! Best wishes Nikki & Jason!❤️
So fresh an so clean, clean!! Glad you fixed your boat shower.. my Grandma had a plaque in guest bathroom that read: Save water 💦 Shower 🚿 with a friend....🛁 Glad your getting stuff done an that's a good thing.. Thanks for sharing your lives with us ✌🏻💗😊❣️
That was so funny. thank you guys :) It was a very interesting episode as I had no clue about the water waste. The nakedness, well all in a days work. and I say well done. I don't think it was offensive at all. Love you guys and enjoying your videos. thanks
I'm glad, that not every marina shower is time limited. Just returned from a mediterranean sail and we saw 6 Marina's and non of them had a time limited shower. Thank you for your tips!
Too funny! At least you have the peat toilet so it was only trips to the shower. :-O My wife has a huge mane of hair and 5 minutes would never be enough! Anyway many years ago we were motor boater the coil on our petrol engine quit when we were are sea. Long story short we were towed into a harbour by RNLI (an awesome band of people) through the sailing regatta in Fowey which was amusing and tragic at the same time and were taken to a buoy as that was all that was available for immediate occupation. The overnight was pretty dire as we were using minimal power and all the galley equipment was electric so nothing hot! Next morning I rowed ashore and came back with hot coffee and bacon butties which was a morale booster but the bigger one was getting alongside and using the marina showers a few hours later. No time limit and toasty hot! Then shore supply was connected and some normality was restored. Some lessons learnt and my wife still sails with me so all good. Meantime all the money saved on showers ashore could be invested in some spare parts because you know the showers will die again at the most inappropriate time.
How ironic for my wife and I to see your shower video today. We’ve been so frugal with water as we lost our well on our ranch a few days ago. Fortunately it just got fixed this morning and that shower felt so good. 👍
Awesome!! Thanks for the entertainment.. He he! Whenever I see the video nearing the end, it soo bums me out. But loves you guys. Looking forward to the next.
In Australia (and probably parts of the States), it is common to install solar water heaters on your home roof, that work similar to your solar shower bags. I wonder if you have considered a more permanent set up on your boat? Either a specifically designed piece of kit, or running a black water pipe topsides before it feeds into your electric water heater so that the water is warmed by solar and the electric just brings it up to temp.
Your adventures are continuous! Thanks for sharing and having us along! I am sure when everything is sea ready again, you will be super happy to be out to sea versus docked in a marina!
Gotta love marina life. WOW I was surprised on how much you can save by showering aboard Curiosity vs the marina showers, and you can shower together in private for extra savings. Great episode guys. Fair Wynns and Following Seas Curiosity.
Being a child of hippies who loved to travel and camp in the oddest places i have vivid memories of jungle showers in the raining Hawaii, taking a bath (as a small child) in a large stock pot of water that was heated over the camp stove in Alaska, solar showers behind the vw camper, but the best was at a riverside hotsprings where soak in the hot water, get out, soap up, and rinse in the ice cold stream, then hop back in the hotspring.
Love your travels. If my wife and I could leave our kids & grandkids for a year at a time we would join you on the open waters... I find my heart tugged between being here and buying a 50 ft. Catamaran. So, right now we are just taking 4 week vacations and returning to our home. We spent weeks in the Cook Islands a few years ago and it constantly pulls at our heart to return. Thank you for making my Sunday mornings. I sit in anticipation for your video release each week...
👍😀 We definitely do the sailors shower while at anchor. But we're only allowed one fresh water rinse off after the final dip of the day. We don't have a watermaker and we haven't had any rain in the last 7 months. Good episode.
When times are weird I am grateful for your sense of humor. Thank you

Hello Wynns!
Yay my favourite upload of every Sunday ♥️
Coffee and showering with the Wynns, what a lovely Sunday morning! 😉😜
Thanks for the laugh this morning, the shower incident brought back some memories when the same thing happened to us one time in a campground. We still laugh about it .
Yay! It's not just us!
@@gonewiththewynns well… you may be the only ones doing that to save $2… instead of, you know, other reasons…. ;-)
😆😆😉
Yea, we were once forced to double up in a women’s public onsen/bath in Japan because the mens area was under renovation. Chose the latest hour possible the whole time on pins and needles waiting to get busted. Not exactly a relaxing natural thermal hot spring experience.

where do you buy it? link? -thx!
Pretty brilliant idea actually.
Great idea
That really ain’t a bad idea, sir.
The homless guerrilla grazer uses a metal garden pump sprayer.
This was a worthy price comparison as well as showing us how the plumbing works on your sailboat.
You guys are too funny lol. Thanks for the comic relief from here in Canada.

In the military you actually get 2 minutes, we used to shave and clean our teeth at the same time, impressive feat at 04:30.

Great couple doing great things. Always entertaining.
You two are so awesome together and thanks for sharing the comical moments with us.
I had a bad day today, thanks for the smile and laugh.
Thanks for sharing your shower stories. So pleased Mark is doing well! Take care stay safe!

Keep having fun, enjoy each other
Hang in there guys. The warm weather is coming and you’ve got a fabulous cruising ground to explore when your re-fit is done. In settled weather, The Poor Knight’s are a MUST. Great Barrier island, likewise. Enjoy 😉
And don't forget Fiordland and the Sounds - there's more to New Zealand than whats north of the Bombay Hills remember.
Hauraki Gulf. Beautiful. Kawau Island. Many nice Islands. Marlborough Sounds are amazing.
@@petersmith8134 The Marlborough sounds are, indeed, amazing but watch out for williwaws. Actually, you need to be careful around Whangarei heads in Easterlies, too. Closest I ever came to flipping my Wharram Pahi was just inside Whangarei heads when we got hit out of nowhere by a williwaw.

I’m glad you mentioned Mark, I was wondering how he was doing.
Hope we get an update every few months. Rightous dude !
He's been on the last few episodes of Sailing Zatara.
So many shower options. Some of them more exciting than others. Thanks.
Laughing so hard I am almost crying. Thanks for taking us the The Next Level.
Simple things that become major challenges. However, the positive sign is seeing where you are when you sail.
What a Sunday morning treat.🍹😇😇😇😇

You guys are so sweet. We love watching you.
Glad your boat shower is fixed! Seems much more pleasant to show on your own boat!! Thanks for sharing!!
Definitely one of the most humorous episodes I've had the pleasure to watch! Good on you!
You two are adorable.
man, i love hanging out with you guys! I can never get enough. you're my kind of people. good, kind and interesting. Feed me seymore....
I couldn't have said it better myself. Real people.
So fresh an so clean, clean!! Glad you fixed your boat shower.. my Grandma had a plaque in guest bathroom that read:
Save water 💦
Shower 🚿 with
a friend....🛁
Glad your getting stuff done an that's a good thing.. Thanks for sharing your lives with us ✌🏻💗😊❣️
I can definitely say Nikki has gotten hotter with age. You go girl!
Actually she has. Much hotter.
I would like to say I clicked on this video for the repair content........but then.....
she has aged 20 years in the 10 years they have traveled , look at old vids in the RV, sea life ain't easy.
@@loganrunnz7761 she is the same age as my 2 youngest daughters. She looks about the same age as my two youngest daughters.
Beautiful couple inside and out.
Waiting for the CCTV version of the "shower story"..... ;) (I love the way you tell stories about even simple things!...
That was so funny. thank you guys :) It was a very interesting episode as I had no clue about the water waste. The nakedness, well all in a days work. and I say well done. I don't think it was offensive at all. Love you guys and enjoying your videos. thanks
I'm glad, that not every marina shower is time limited. Just returned from a mediterranean sail and we saw 6 Marina's and non of them had a time limited shower. Thank you for your tips!
This channel is so heartwarming ❤️
👍Great cost comparison. Thanks.💸
👍😂🤣Funny shower story, thanks for sharing. 🤗
Funny and light vid. Thanks. I want one of those timers for my kids' bathroom. I think I would charge 5 per shower. 😀
Thank you for sharing your adventures 😊👍
You guys are hilarious!! Love this and thanks for sharing!✌💜
Too funny! At least you have the peat toilet so it was only trips to the shower. :-O My wife has a huge mane of hair and 5 minutes would never be enough! Anyway many years ago we were motor boater the coil on our petrol engine quit when we were are sea. Long story short we were towed into a harbour by RNLI (an awesome band of people) through the sailing regatta in Fowey which was amusing and tragic at the same time and were taken to a buoy as that was all that was available for immediate occupation. The overnight was pretty dire as we were using minimal power and all the galley equipment was electric so nothing hot! Next morning I rowed ashore and came back with hot coffee and bacon butties which was a morale booster but the bigger one was getting alongside and using the marina showers a few hours later. No time limit and toasty hot! Then shore supply was connected and some normality was restored. Some lessons learnt and my wife still sails with me so all good. Meantime all the money saved on showers ashore could be invested in some spare parts because you know the showers will die again at the most inappropriate time.
How ironic for my wife and I to see your shower video today. We’ve been so frugal with water as we lost our well on our ranch a few days ago. Fortunately it just got fixed this morning and that shower felt so good. 👍
We are on a well too. I am concerned about the day ours stops working. Inevitably it will be on a Sunday during a holiday weekend.
Y'all are such a hoot and a fresh breath of air.
I just realized that I spent 17 minutes of my life listening to someone's "shower" stories and you know what?
I enjoyed every minute of it! lol!
Awesome!! Thanks for the entertainment.. He he! Whenever I see the video nearing the end, it soo bums me out. But loves you guys. Looking forward to the next.
You guys are the greatest! Great show!

You guys are amazing! You made a video revolving around your shower trials and I found it interesting and entertaining.
No shame it’s all natural and your are beautifull, and we all did the same thing in our camping trips… thanks for sharing your stories!

This was a great breakdown of cost vs efficiency when sailor showering! So glad you figured out the best way _for you,_ and stay safe out there!
I loved you sharing about your showers!
