Here next to me is my hubby watching whatever he is watching on tv and me…. With my headphones watching your adventures!!! A thousand times better than any huge comercial production!! I’m just super happy I’m still years behind so I can keep watching like 20 episodes a day 😂😂😂😂😂
I came home this evening after a particularly difficult shift, poured a “sundowner” and adventures with my favorite sailing couple, the mighty Wynn’s. You two have no idea the restorative and recuperative power your videos provide me. Saying “thank you” is not enough. Just know that I can face another day because I can leave it all behind when I watch you explore. 👍😉🥰⛵️
Wow! you guys, thank you for that awesome hike. As you were describing it at the end of the video, I too said Pacific North West. I lived there for several years and loved hiking in the foothills and mountains. The Cook Islands look amazing. What an awesome way to see the world. Fair winds and safe travels to you and yours. Rae
We were lucky enough to get "stuck" in the Cook Islands (Raro and Aitutaki) for 3 months this year thanks to Covid ;-) Love to promote the islands, now! Great video!
I know how you feel. I lived in Europe for 9.5 years and never went to any English speaking country. Then returned to the good ole USA and had to wrap my brain around full time English again. It took me 6 months to feel comfortable. Great vid. Thanks.
What an amazing hike with amazing views. That's why we do what we do, to get to those places you can only get to by exploring. Loved that view of the sun shining through the clouds, such a serine and spiritual moment. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Have a blessed and safe day wherever you are!!!
Such great hospitality from everyone on the island! Sure makes a port-of-call even better!WOW, that was a "LEGIT" hike !! and amazing views too! Thanks for taking us on the adventure!Fair Wynns and Following Seas Curiosity!
Just before you said "PNW" I had just thought it. I love how your music has become more and more relaxed as you spend more of your adventures in the South Pacific. You don't have any thump thump music, which I do find slightly irritating when on other sites. Travel safe and thank you so much for your amazing gift of sharing your world.
Wow that was a heck of a climb and an equally heck of a descent. Absolutely beautiful place. That’s a place a guy, ( and girl ) could spend a lot of time. It would be a tough decision to leave there.
I am impressed, you get to see everything you can at a time when most Americans think the world begins at the Atlantic east coast and finishes at the pacific west coast.
What a view! Had a similar experience, not quite as nice though, on a mountain in Puerto Rico in the rain forest. Amazing changes in the environment as you get altitude. Thanks so much for sharing.
It's so enjoyable travelling along with with Nikki and Jas, a real treat indeed. A nature trail with QR Stations -well that's taking advantage of moderna technica. Just love your story telling. Cheers.
What was I thinking they can’t keep this up but to my surprise you did great video beautiful photography nice storytelling and as always I love your spirit of adventure can’t wait for next Sunday Funday
Incredible views of the tree/foliage covered mountains...they're what I imagine Earth looked like before humans arrived...such beauty ! It makes me sad to think what we have destroyed as a species.... Thanks for the beautiful insight..... All the best !
Williams said everything there is to find to make a good life can be found in your own backyard. Others believe it all germinates from inside oneself. In your case your yard happens to stretch far and wide.
Another awesome adventure day. Love watching you guys as you explore another little piece of this majestic planet. Hard to believe that you've been sailing for 2 and half years. I've been following your adventure since you re-riged before heading to Panama. Looking forward to next week's video.
We were their twice over 20 years ago. People in the Cook Islands are so friendly. The island law is that you can’t sell your land. But you can give it to your children. So there weren’t any chain hotels or resorts. Just locally owned places to stay. Neighbors share their crops and catch so they don’t even know what welfare is. At low tide in the morning you found ladies in the shallows picking up sea slugs and piercing them with a knife, squeezing them and catching what looked like angel hair pasta in their bucket to eat. They put the sea slug back to “Milk” another day. The reef around the island is beautiful. 25 meters outside the breakers your in 15 meters of water. 100 meters out your in 30 meters of water. 125 meters out your in over 500 meters of deep ocean water. Really an underwater cliff. And Sooo clear visibility. Hope you get to dive. Really enjoy and have fun. You two are great adventurers.
Enjoyed this so much. Thank you both. Such lovely things to say about our islands. Made me miss home being in Australia. It is true about all the 15 islands; the environment, the generous people, the expensive data😂😂. The further out you get from Rarotonga, English is not so prominent but there will always be someone who can translate. It is expensive, we use NZ currency, so save up when you go. People say Aitutaki is the most beautiful island but I am bias to Rarotonga and Mitiaro🤫. Blessed travels everyone.
I love the photography of the thumbnail and the video effect at the top of the mountain. Such amazing shots. I hope we get that good one day. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic video once again. Almost felt like I could breathe the fresh air you were breathing. Also glad you didn't get a rash of any kind this time! As a doc, I was so sad watching your journey of healing last time.
I so enjoyed this mornings video! What an absolutely beautiful experience it looks like you had. I especially loved that hike. I was thinking how at my age and present physical condition that trail would be such a challenge for me and my wife, AND then you got to the part where there was a rope for climbing the rocks ! Shew ! I so enjoyed climbs like that in my younger years and you had me reminiscing about the “good ole days”! I would still try it today and I would EVENTUALLY make it up to enjoy that awesome view. Ha Ha ! Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. I so enjoy are 15 minutes together !
An impressive hike in an incredibly beautiful place. Love the inclusion of the 360 video bits. We love our Insta 360, so much flexibility and captures things you might otherwise miss! 😀
My two most favorite South Pacific sailors! The only notification I look forward to all week! I send you much love from Dayton, Ohio and thank you for letting this senior old man live vicariously through the both of you. Love you both and the kitties too!
Well when you got to the ropes I was saying to myself, nope I'm not going up that! But when you got to the top it was well worth it. You never know what is going to be around the corner. Life with surprises. Love
I drove around Ireland for 10 days a couple of years ago. I learned very quickly to call it the "other" side of the road! ha Within hours, I became pretty good at driving on the other side of the road. After 10 days and then returning to Tennessee, I had to remind myself which way to look when pulling out! ha

Think 70 years young and living at 5000 feet. Key, think young at heart and stay fit . Thank you for sharing your adventures, I do enjoy your videos.
I hope we’re living our adventure at 70 too...it could very well be in the mountains.
Absolutely stunning. What a place to visit.
You continue to amaze me with your adventures and the places you go. Thank you for taking me along. Safe travel you four.
Thanks again, when I was up those hills, there were no tracks or ropes etc. Thanks and God bless you two.
We were lucky enough to get "stuck" in the Cook Islands (Raro and Aitutaki) for 3 months this year thanks to Covid ;-) Love to promote the islands, now! Great video!
Kristian Oye Most definitely worse places to be in quarantine!😉

I have found with traveling, that the unplanned and the unexpected, are some of the best adventures! Thank you, as always, for taking us along!❤️💜

I have to ask , did U2 try the Wim Hof Method I mentioned this weekend. It is perfect fit for your already super lifestyle 🌬🥶❤️🙏🏼🌊🦋
You guys are getting good at this video stuff. You & SLV are my 2 favorites.
Wow that was a heck of a climb and an equally heck of a descent. Absolutely beautiful place. That’s a place a guy, ( and girl ) could spend a lot of time. It would be a tough decision to leave there.
I am impressed, you get to see everything you can at a time when most Americans think the world begins at the Atlantic east coast and finishes at the pacific west coast.
ha, that is true...
One word description: amazing! Thanks for taking us along.
What a view! Had a similar experience, not quite as nice though, on a mountain in Puerto Rico in the rain forest. Amazing changes in the environment as you get altitude. Thanks so much for sharing.

Nikki is a great story teller. And that camera work where you made it look like you were in a hole was just awesome.
It's so enjoyable travelling along with with Nikki and Jas, a real treat indeed. A nature trail with QR Stations -well that's taking advantage of moderna technica. Just love your story telling. Cheers.

Williams said everything there is to find to make a good life can be found in your own backyard. Others believe it all germinates from inside oneself. In your case your yard happens to stretch far and wide.
😂 OMG Nikki ... I just noticed you bought that hat from an earlier video! I loooooved it then & it looks faaaabulous! 👍

A beautiful place in the pacific and people so friendly , I think cook island and Fiji would be my pick love them
Thanks for sharing again, just beautiful guys thank you 👍👍🇺🇸
Lovely , just lovely , as always , just lovely , even when you get a little pissed off, just lovely .
It is extremely inhibiting combining videoing with hiking. That, followed by professional, high-quality editing deserves many kudos. OUTSTANDING.
Thanks for a peek down the rabbit hole, your videos are awesome and really appreciated.
What an awesome island!
Views priceless as the personal give and take with good people. What a DEAL!
WOW! Thanks for taking us along!
Amazing hike, Amazing island and Amazing people as showcased in the previous 2 Cook Island episodes.
Another awesome adventure day. Love watching you guys as you explore another little piece of this majestic planet.
Hard to believe that you've been sailing for 2 and half years. I've been following your adventure since you re-riged before heading to Panama.
Looking forward to next week's video.
I never wanted more until it’s video!!!! What an amazing place!!
A truly amazing place.
Wow! What great scenery!
Beautiful hike thanks for taking us along. Such a nice place to visit.
What a special hike looks stunning and seems like you are hating every minute of it
That's not true. We stopped to smell the flowers, appreciate the butterflies, the history, the wind, the views, the massive taro leaves.....

Don't look down!!!! Love the climb 😍
Fantastic video once again. Almost felt like I could breathe the fresh air you were breathing. Also glad you didn't get a rash of any kind this time! As a doc, I was so sad watching your journey of healing last time.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video this AM💕 as always and what a gorgeous picture of the sun peeking out over the lagoon, good capture!

So very beautiful, and so friendly
Wow! That vertical climb with ropes is intense! Nicely done. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Another Win for the Wynn’s all around fun life
Marriage is difficult. There will be ups and downs. I can't imagine living in a closed environment like that...you two are troopers.
I follow many cruisers and your the only one so far that I know explored the Cook Islands!

This was a very enjoyable video to watch. Keep them coming!
Well when you got to the ropes I was saying to myself, nope I'm not going up that! But when you got to the top it was well worth it. You never know what is going to be around the corner. Life with surprises. Love
I thought I'm not going DOWN that! Yikes.
😆😆
You two have some of the most AMAZING experiences, thank you so very much for sharing! ❤
Thank you guys to help me re-live my time in Rarotonga (1999) - BEAUTIFULLY captured.
