The smile on Jason’s face as you two girls run through the water towards the beach…priceless! As a marine biologist I love to live vicariously through your island adventures. Keep up the great videos!
The effort and work you guys have been doing for years has really paid off with the production quality and entertainment value. I know it's not easy, but you guys make it feel so seamless and effortless. Well done and thanks for continuing to allow us to live vicariously, if only for a little while every Sunday.
OMG guys, lIterally I can stop watching your videos, they make me feel so alive again. New desires in my heart yelling for boat adventures!!! Thank you for sharing your boat life.
I gave up "TV" over a decade ago. So, it is no small compliment when I say that I am ever more and more eager for a new episode. You guys never fail to leave me wanting more.
20 years ago got rid of the idi0t box. After this long it becomes clear very quickly after speaking to someone if they are still on the program or have a free mind.
@@freedomfreedom6544 You don't want indoctrination? Maybe you'll need a "passport" for that (with a test of your pop culture knowledge), just like for COVID.
What you really mean is you gave up on network programming. I watch TH-cam on my TV. The only difference is the content, and now this channel has a sponsored commercial break.
@@mark_barrentine if watching TH-cam for the primary purpose of learning how to watercolor along with developing skills to perform my own home repair work qualifies as TV then, whatever. I stumbled upon the Wynns and I enjoy their videos. It is different from commercialized fictional television. But, you can call it whatever you want.
The highs and lows of sailing remind me of a favorite cartoon. The boss is standing over a guy on the floor with a club in his hands, and says, "that's the job, Bedslow, long periods of tedious boredom interspersed with bursts of sheer terror!"
I just wanna say that I'm super happy and thankful for you guys. It's so cool that I can watch someone else live a cool lifestyle like this. I can confidently say that this lifestyle wouldn't be for me (I thought it would be perfect), but it's really cool that I never have to wonder what I'm missing! 😊
You two are the classiest sailing couple on TH-cam, period. Like two good looking movie stars who look good on camera no matter what time of day or night. And always well dressed, a beautifully maintained boat, sensible sailing technique & planning, no bad language, no false bravado, no flashing of flesh just to get cheap views, beautifully filmed and edited, always respectful and considerate towards the locals wherever you go, careful and relatively unobtrusive advertising placements, and never doing any stupid macho stunts that might look good on camera but which could easily put you in hospital in the process. Yeah, I think that about describes it - “Gone With The Wynns - Sailing done with Class.” 🥂 Congrats for building such a great brand & channel, and after 15 years together, here’s to many more happy decades to come, cheers ! ⛵️👍🏻☺️
While the dogfish slip-up was hilarious, there is actually such thing as a dogfish they can be found along the East Coast of the US, Southern Cone of South America, Mediterranean, North Sea, South Africa, Baltic Sea, southern Australia, and New Zealand
@@kenpole1840 What I really like is a Sea Dog (like an American hotdog but a crab stick, tartar sauce and sometimes lettuce and tomatoe in a hotdog bun)... YUM!
Nikki has good fashion sense for the circumstances, love the pink shades with the striped pink shirt. Looking good in remote Tonga, that takes some effort!
Your new crew. Beautiful young lady with so much life ahead of her! She needs to have more confidence. If you want something go for it, if you fail, try again, if you fail again, try again. If you never completely accomplish a goal then remember that life is a journey not a destination you must arrive at.
Hey Guys, had my 43 foot cutter rig in the marquesas many years ago and got into some very bad weather. 138 mile an hour wind and if it wasn't such a well-built boat we probably wouldn't be alive today. We were in open water and it put the stick in the water twice. If I were to ever go sailing again I will never do it in a monohull boat. If I were to buy a boat again it would be a catamaran or my first choice a trimaran. I just don't like standing sideways. When we decided to sail around the world we both learned how scuba dive. There are no boat shops when you are in the middle of the ocean. If something goes wrong and you are required to go underwater for any length of time you just need to know how to dive. Our instructor made a statement just after our instructor started the class. He said "You must remember at all times, when you go over the side of the boat you become part of the food chain." It was a very sobering thought. At 75 I doubt if I will ever buy another boat. I guess I will just have to be content to watch people like you and get my boat fix. Happy sailing guys.
So, I wanted to give you a big THANK YOU! I was having trouble talking my wife into sailing, and she is a Pacific Islander. Go figure. Anyway, I introduced her to your channel starting with purchasing a Catamaran...With your assistance, she has changed her mind. Oh, and Baby Shark doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, Baby Shark.
Ok so I am going to say it. Get Dior to join your crew and sail around with you and you will hit the top of the TH-cam channels of sailing vlogs. She is a Delight and an Aussie. David Down Under.
Wonderful video, yet again! While watching the rain coming down on you two, you took me back in time, to a place, an island, somewhat like there. I remembered the smell - that is amazing that your video was able to take me there. Just pure joy watching you two enjoy adventures like I had. Living on a sailboat makes for a lifetime of memories. Blessings, Nikki and Jason, love watching! Granny
Beutiful cinematography! You are masters at providing us with entertainment. Cheers you two (three) and keep the beautiful videos coming. Wonderful to see you are healthy and safe.
Do you know that song that has the line that says, "Some guys have all the luck... some guys have all the pain". Well, Jason and Nikki, I envy you. You guys have all the fun.
Nikki/ Jason.. First off, so glad your able to move around... Nice to see Curiosity under sail again as well... Love to see you and Ruby Rose 2 get together again... Be safe and may the winds be with you..
Guys, your videos' quality has gone up like crazy. I love the specs bits about the wind and conditions. How you don't forget to tell us where you are. The colors, the editing... Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Always looking forward to your Sunday videos.
Incredibly lucky you, 3 mamasita's Niky, Dior (young Michelle Pfeiffer) and Curiosity in that paradise island, WOW!!! Love from Antigua Guatemala from OsoYolo.
That is because he can do magic. He sails into a port with one beautiful woman, and leaves the same port with two beautiful women. Not too shabby, even if it is only for a one night passage.
I love you two and your stories. Being a sailor was a big part of my life in the past, so I relate to your video adventures which I enjoy watching. Your young, joyful and humorous personalities gives your videos a fresh feeling to living aboard. Good luck and may you have continued fair winds. Thank you for sharing!
I'm simply blown away by how far you guys have traveled since i first came across your RV videos years ago! I'm really disappointed in myself still sitting here living vicariously on TH-cam videos! When my lease is up in oct, i'm outta here! Thanks for the inspiration!
11-22-23. Covid threw a lot of lemons at you.. and you turned them into HH lemonade. With Nikki and Jason and their electric 44 HH Cat (A real Hudson Yacht Group work of art) . it will be a HH must see at an any sail boat show.,
26:28 Dior's comment: "Whatever you do, don't come on this boat." My guess is that riding with the Wynns is even more wacky and weird than they let on. I mean, it looks pretty zany, but there's so much we don't know. Dior (and maybe Cyril, too (if he's still alive)) needs to do a 'tell all' vid.
I can only imagine what a day in your life is like. But the small views into it really fills my soul with great adventure. Love that you fit into the local community. Love all of your adventures.
Who else is back here, tracing all the Tonga island locations that the Jason and Nikki had shared with us so beautifully ... I'm hoping for communications to reestablish and some good news to arrive soon. Hunga Tonga, what have you done? Dior, are you safe?
I couldn’t believe to see Dior again. It’s been some years that she tragically lost her brother because of an accident. A Dutch television program visited her family to show their remote living in Tonga. Shortly after airing her brother died. I hope she is doing well after all the tears and tragic.
Thanks for my weekly retreat on a beautiful ocean. Great to see you guys out and about. Off to the jar to help with future re-supply. Till next week, be safe. 🤙
I love the faDior has such a great sense of humor, you were lucky to meet such an awesome family back on Nomuka and have her on your boat. Even if it was for just a night and yup, Tofua was where the Mutiny on the Bounty began. Of course eventually the mutineers made it to Tahiti and then Pitcairn. Such an interesting topic, it's no wonder they did so many movies about it. And if you ever make it to Pitcairn, they still have pieces of the Bounty! Pitcairn is high on my bucket list because of how unique of a place it is, history wise and biodiversity wise. Also I can't help but continue to appreciate the updated measurements you keep using as you navigate, it's a cool little detail and I admire it
You guys, wow. Been following you for years and always enjoy watching you guys lead your best life! We have a great life too living in West Michigan on Lake Michigan and in SW Florida but it’s always amazing to travel vicariously to places we will most likely never see. Really enjoyed this episode, your travel mate was very chill so enjoyed her comments. I follow many sailing channels but yours stands far above the others. All the best - cheers!
What do you guys think about using and ADF (Automatic Direction Finder) on a boat? Used Aircraft ADFs are very cheap, use little power, and the antenna can easily be mounted on a mast. It is a navigation aid that has a display that points to an AM Radio transmitter or Aviation NDB (non-directional beacon) that it is tuned to. The ADF is tuned to the radio station of interest, there is an audio output to hear the station, and the pointer will show the relative bearing of the transmitter. It seems to me that it might be useful, especially for island hopping.
What a beautiful island!! The unexpected rain reminds me of my deployment on Guam in 86! Island life is so laid back, mainlanders will/cannot ever imagine how it is. Outstanding video guys! Dior is a lucky young Lady!
Please, for the love of god, can you post a video of how you do your hair? I’m so envious. What is your hair routine? Oh! And I looove your outfits too!!!
I have always loved watching your posting. As an American that has spent part of his life living in Tonga, in particular Vava'u I would beg you please don't miss the opportunity to socialize and mingle with the local Tongan people rather than all the Palangi's that look like us. If you don't you will miss out on the greatest experience of your life.
Another awesome video of the day to day life of some awesome people. Thank you for sharing your life's adventures. PS: Thanks for some awesome screen captures to use as desktop back ground. 13:55 13:57 14:28 15:24 20:06
Starting my Sunday off as a Wynn'r! I was watching a back episode of Nikkis home town Texas crawl....one of my fav episodes. What I keep thinking is do you Nikki stay in touch with the old school pals? also wondering what they think when they seen you and Jason sailing your own boat in the tropics etc. curious...Oh thanks for censoring Baby Shark...Lmao!!!! another great video....love them all. can you do one where your sailing and the camera is just on....no commentary, ja good sail. From white rock BC Canada....cheers guys!!!!.
so lucky the kingdom of tonga has its own micro cruising destinations...alot like the florida quays aye..lots of destinations within the lockdown area....loving seeing all tonga has to offer
Thanks for taking me on your Journey! Such a stress relief! I used to travel in my mid 20's but I just hit 50 and this is the kind of motivation to get back on the horse sooner then later!
"Baby Shark doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, Baby Shark-" "STOP no sorry, there are just some things in life you cannot unsee" That transition, I can't 💀 Interrupting Baby Shark... *everyone liked that*
In a hot New Jersey afternoon I started to wonder what it was really like to cross the Pacific to Tahiti, say, a dream I had when I sailed off-shore in Southern California many years ago. As I looked for videos about such a passage, it occurred to me that of course, you two had necessarily done it, before I started following you every Sunday morning, and sure enough when I checked your videos, I could spot check your passage through all 25 days to French Polynesia, which was close enough. And not in a million dollar yacht that was fully mechanized and professionally maintained, but in your boat. Having done that, though, it occurred to me that in this time of Covid recovery, a book about your travels might be a welcomed escape from the lock-downs we’ve all experienced, most of us not in nearly as magical locations as Tonga. Swiss Family Robinson, Two Years before the Mast, and Master and Commander, all gave dreams life to their readers though most knew they would never themselves follow that path. You have, and a timely book, volume one ending in New Zealand, might sell well and be another source of income especially when tied to your ongoing voyages on TH-cam. A little nautical information (“Seaspeak”, so to speak), some social engineering (your work with water supplies and local farming), and some plain adventure, might attract a new audience to a couple of Texans travelling the world. I just heard Jason say that he wished he were better with words, and could just spit out pithy descriptions like actors (who never write their own lines); few can, but with some editing and rewriting, his thoughts would be honest, eloquent, and well expressed. Nikki’s enthusiasm and humor would carry through the book, bolstering Jason’s concerns and boredom, and her discipline would drive the writing process. And I wouldn’t neglect Nikki’s medical issues; her push through those to present your TH-cam programming is, I suspect, a leit motif of its own.
Just a thought. You both have a lot to offer the rest of us. Thanks, and good luck. And lots of pictures!
Hey Jason, if you would like to hear the story of the mutiny from the lips of Captain Bligh you can find the audiobook of his personal narrative about the incident here on TH-cam. It is in the free Domain. It is called " The Mutiny of the ( HMS ) Bounty " .
Jason was hilarious singing Baby Shark and I don't think I will ever forget it now. Too funny! The sunset was beautiful and the ocean was so gorgeous as well.
With all due respects brother and sisters to you and both the ladies, 9:36 everyone was thinking it hahaha Absolutely everything about this and so many of your videos are just so stunning in every way possible, text book definition of ‘living the dream’ ☺️☺️☺️ Much love all ✌🏼
Great episode.... and lovely music to accompany it.... We are heading out soon from the Canary Islands and are going down to the South Atlantic first and then through the Magellan Straits into the Pacific.... Can't wait.... 🙂
The smile on Jason’s face as you two girls run through the water towards the beach…priceless! As a marine biologist I love to live vicariously through your island adventures. Keep up the great videos!
That girl is damned awesome ! She is gorgeous, such a sense of humour and such a free spirit ......... fab addition to your crew. x

Hey Guys, had my 43 foot cutter rig in the marquesas many years ago and got into some very bad weather. 138 mile an hour wind and if it wasn't such a well-built boat we probably wouldn't be alive today.

Great video. Thanks for sharing your trip with us! Loved seeing your musical talents for the first time!
I love the little graphics you do showing wind, SOG etc!
Jason, that sail boat would not be the same without you. You are a hoot.😂😂😂
Yes Jason, lucky you! 9:35
Those two running towards the beach!!! WOW!! men of science here we are!
Love the explanation about agregate spawners, whilst wearing a helmet from the trenches at Verdun.
Another great Sunday morning with you guys! SO MUCH adventure & fun. Thanks so much and sending you fab vibes on your sail to NZ! Xs&Os, Kelly
In a hot New Jersey afternoon I started to wonder what it was really like to cross the Pacific to Tahiti, say, a dream I had when I sailed off-shore in Southern California many years ago. As I looked for videos about such a passage, it occurred to me that of course, you two had necessarily done it, before I started following you every Sunday morning, and sure enough when I checked your videos, I could spot check your passage through all 25 days to French Polynesia, which was close enough. And not in a million dollar yacht that was fully mechanized and professionally maintained, but in your boat.
Having done that, though, it occurred to me that in this time of Covid recovery, a book about your travels might be a welcomed escape from the lock-downs we’ve all experienced, most of us not in nearly as magical locations as Tonga. Swiss Family Robinson, Two Years before the Mast, and Master and Commander, all gave dreams life to their readers though most knew they would never themselves follow that path. You have, and a timely book, volume one ending in New Zealand, might sell well and be another source of income especially when tied to your ongoing voyages on TH-cam. A little nautical information (“Seaspeak”, so to speak), some social engineering (your work with water supplies and local farming), and some plain adventure, might attract a new audience to a couple of Texans travelling the world.
I just heard Jason say that he wished he were better with words, and could just spit out pithy descriptions like actors (who never write their own lines); few can, but with some editing and rewriting, his thoughts would be honest, eloquent, and well expressed. Nikki’s enthusiasm and humor would carry through the book, bolstering Jason’s concerns and boredom, and her discipline would drive the writing process. And I wouldn’t neglect Nikki’s medical issues; her push through those to present your TH-cam programming is, I suspect, a leit motif of its own.
Just a thought. You both have a lot to offer the rest of us.
Thanks, and good luck.
And lots of pictures!
"Tax man" will get his no matter where your fishing lol
the vibes in ur vids r always unmatched😤😌
Love your electric bikes where did you get them and what are they cost approximately?
More specifically, who makes them and do they have model numbers?
Living this tranquil tropical sailing
I love the song playing it has a nice flow
Hey Jason, if you would like to hear the story of the mutiny from the lips of Captain Bligh
you can find the audiobook of his personal narrative about the incident here on TH-cam.
It is in the free Domain. It is called " The Mutiny of the ( HMS ) Bounty " .
Jason was hilarious singing Baby Shark and I don't think I will ever forget it now. Too funny! The sunset was beautiful and the ocean was so gorgeous as well.
i could watch them all day
You both are so lucky ,wish we were that brave to travel the open seas,instead we are in lockdown ,enjoy the freedom cheers
It's so nice being on the move!
Curiosity need a crows nest for those 'sketchy' approaches. ;-)
9:26 Yes indeed Jason....You are a lucky man!!!!! ENJOY!!!
Your videos are awesome!!! I can watch them all day without getting motion sickness!!
Thanks for the update. Great job helping give the lass a ride. You make my the weekend better.
My gaming laptop is an Asus. Other than the fact that the fan is loud I love it.
The giant clam shells were heartbreaking!
Such a cool girl just love her demeanor very smart and pretty easy on the eyes as well
With all due respects brother and sisters to you and both the ladies, 9:36 everyone was thinking it hahaha
Absolutely everything about this and so many of your videos are just so stunning in every way possible, text book definition of ‘living the dream’ ☺️☺️☺️

Great episode.... and lovely music to accompany it....
We are heading out soon from the Canary Islands and are going down to the South Atlantic first and then through the Magellan Straits into the Pacific.... Can't wait.... 🙂
That girl is beautiful and love the quick snips we got of her personality. Crushing.
Sending you Much Love from back in Texas!
