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

The whole factory experience was a lot more in-depth and expansive than we ever anticipated. We have so much footage, we could have made this a one-hour episode! Because we didn’t even get to the design team with their high-performance 3D printers, the training on winch maintenance, or how hatches are made. But that just means we have a few more pearls to share with you later.
But most importantly, the trip was a success, and we feel like we have a from-the-ground-up understanding of the day-to-day equipment we will trust to safely take us around the world on our sailboat. Hopefully, you do too! And I don't have to tell you how excited we will be to see our new boat's beautiful, flat, toughened glass windows. Because we still get a slight nervous tick just thinking about re-bedding our old windows.😵💫

Well, now that we've navigated the seas on a Trimaran, everyone's clamoring to know...which is the superior vessel, a Catamaran or Trimaran? And that's just one of the countless queries, including the curious case of how a pooch does her business while aboard a boat.
Reasonable questions, all things considered. This was our maiden voyage as caretakers of another couple's vessel and our first time manning the helm of a NEEL 47 trimaran. Add in a four-legged friend and it was a feast of fresh experiences.
So, we figured we should provide some insight into your most burning questions about life on three hulls. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We’re in the final days of our first boat delivery and so far, it has been quite the journey. Not at all what we expected but perhaps more interesting. Because we’ve learned a lot through the trial and error of figuring out a new boat, new systems, and new problems.
But…this is the day things finally start coming together.
There have been days of joy, frustration, excitement, uncertainty, and in the end, a little satisfaction. Friendships were forged, memories were made, and experience was gained. All in all, a successful mission and one we’re glad we took on.
And more importantly, one we’re glad Katy and Craig were willing to let us take on. Because had they not been willing to hand over their floating home, we wouldn't have met them or been able to have such an experience with all the other Patrons they allowed us to bring along. Plus, we had the honor of sailing with Yoshimi. The coolest boat dog on the seven seas. So, thank you, Katy and Craig! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------ Our first Boat Delivery continues as we’ve taken the helm of our friend's 47ft NEEL Trimaran, Supernova. We tackled all the repairs (from our first few days at sea) and set sail for what we thought would be a thrilling voyage.
We were so sure that this was going to be a grand sail that we invited 3 patrons along for the journey. Because why not, even misery loves company. But little did we know...
Expect the unexpected, for the winds of fate rarely blow in the direction we expect. I know this and yet, I still find myself flabbergasted on too many occasions. This week's sail was one of them. It was a humbling lesson in patience, perseverance, and making the tough decision to bail out.

Dishwashers save time, water, and energy. But do they? Jason will tell you the claims the dishwasher companies make are true and then some. But me, nah! I say those claims are based on the average American household and not these resource-conscious sailors.
And now we’re in the middle of building our new HH44 catamaran and the dishwasher debate is heating up again.
The problem is, we both make good arguments for and against the dishwasher. But it’s all based on hypotheticals. Because we’ve never actually had a dishwasher on an RV, Van, boat, or any tiny home. We don’t have any real-world experience to base our arguments on. Until now!
We’re living aboard our friend’s 47ft NEEL Trimaran as we sail it from Charleston to Miami. And they have a dishwasher that has finally given us the opportunity for a showdown. Sailor VS Dishwasher.
This isn’t a video we ever thought we would make and as for the results…well, we’re turning to you for help. Give it a watch and then pick your Wynn.

Welcome back to Trimaran Life. Last time we embarked on a voyage down the coast of South Carolina, aboard our friend's 47ft NEEL Trimaran. But, as with all seafaring voyages, we encountered our fair share of challenges and discovered more than a few issues with the boat. Some of you were left wondering why this sleek and shiny new vessel seemed to be plagued with so many problems. But, as seasoned sailors know all too well, no boat is immune to the harsh realities of life at sea. But fear not, we are not ones to shy away from a challenge! Today, we are joining forces with the owners of the Trimaran, Katy and Craig, as we set out to tackle some of these issues. But, as with any boat project, things are bound to go awry, and not everything goes according to plan. Plus, we'll also dive into the reasons behind their move from their Nautitech 40 Catamaran to the NEEL 47 and whether they miss anything about their old boat. So, gather your tools, roll up your sleeves and join us for some problem-solving. It's time to get this Trimaran shipshape again!

A new adventure begins as we set sail for what almost feels like the first time again. We’re jumping off the deep end here and no doubt many will call us cavalier. Because we’re taking a 47-foot NEEL Trimaran, a type of boat we have never sailed and have zero experience on, out to sea on an offshore passage.
Would we have liked a test sail first??? Of course! But it was a quick handover, the weather was fickle, and here we are. But it’s certainly not our first offshore passage and we like a good challenge. And a challenge is exactly what we got!
Grab your popcorn because this one is a rollercoaster.

Hopefully, this is the first of many in-depth conversations we’ll share in 2023. And we’re starting off with our new friends Frank and Mary Grace aboard HH55 Ticket To Ride. We spent a couple of weeks with them in the Tuamotus looking to gain some experience and insight regarding performance cruising.
They also started off in a great production catamaran and then moved on to a performance cat. Spending time with them felt like a peek into what our own journey may be like. And we wanted to know a lot more about that evolution.
Because there is no such thing as a perfect boat, but there are different boats for different types of sailors, for different types of cruising, and for different seasons of life. As a sailor evolves, so does their boat.
So, grab a beverage and settle in for an insightful conversation about the evolution of these sailors. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why Curiosity2 Self-Reliance + Sustainability = Freedom Self-Reliance: To rely on our own resources and limit our need for a marina or fuel dock. Sustainability: Thinking about what we do today and how it will affect next week, next year, the next decade, and so on. It’s the recognition that we’re all part of a living system and that everything we do impacts the world around us. In other words, we want to be out in the world living and exploring for as long as possible. Both in terms of not having to worry about our resources or our habitat disappearing. It's practical, not political. This new HH44 is the continuation of that conversation and desire. This is not the ultimate, all-time perfect eco boat or zero-footprint anything. Not even close. It’s the best option that we could find working with viable, available solutions. It’s the type of innovation we want to support, encourage, and see way more of. We're super stoked about getting into the world of Performance Cruising and hybrid electric sailing with our new HH44 catamaran. HH catamarans have a reputation for building the best luxury performance sailing catamarans in the world. And now this is a brand-new boat designed from the ground up with solar, hydrogeneration, and electric motoring in mind. Add in our rain capture system and we have the ability to be off the grid and explore incredibly remote and uninhabited areas for months and months at a time. ______________________________

It’s hard to believe that our time aboard HH55 Ticket To Ride is coming to an end…but it is. Oh, how we will miss marveling at the fifty shades of blue, vibrant coral, and the vast array of fishy friends. Join us as we set sail for Fakarava, make our way to land for the first time in weeks, and have our first meal out.🤯

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 journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

The ethics of sponsorships and transparency are important, and we try to make it clear when we are being sponsored. But, based on many of the comments we get, we’re not doing a good enough job. So, this is our attempt to provide some clarity and insight on the subject and open a conversation.
And of course 30 Rock. Tina Fey does a great job of cheeky advertising throughout the series (Snapple, Verizon and more). In 2022 you can watch most episodes for free on the Peacock Streaming App: peacocktv.com/watch-online/tv/30-rock/6240863759978157112

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.

Why Curiosity2 Self-Reliance + Sustainability = Freedom Self-Reliance: To rely on our own resources and limit our need for a marina or fuel dock. Sustainability: Thinking about what we do today and how it will affect next week, next year, the next decade, and so on. It’s the recognition that we’re all part of a living system and that everything we do impacts the world around us. In other words, we want to be out in the world living and exploring for as long as possible. Both in terms of not having to worry about our resources or our habitat disappearing. It's practical, not political. And we know we're not the only ones seeking this kind of freedom because we have you! Our community of like-minded people we've been having this exact conversation with for the past decade. It doesn't matter if you are in an RV, Tiny House, Sailboat, Motorboat, Homestead, Farm, Ranch, or Off-Grid Island Resort...at the end of the day, we've all connected over our love for nature and our desire to be in it. This new HH44 is the continuation of that conversation and desire. This is not the ultimate, all-time perfect eco boat or zero-footprint anything. Not even close. It’s the best option that we could find working with viable, available solutions. It’s the type of innovation we want to support, encourage, and see way more of. We're super stoked about getting into the world of Performance Cruising and hybrid electric sailing with our new HH44 catamaran. HH catamarans have a reputation for building the best luxury performance sailing catamarans in the world. And now this is a brand-new boat designed from the ground up with solar, hydrogeneration, and electric motoring in mind.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We're sailing on HH55 Ticket To Ride and it's a beast of a performance catamaran.
Raw and remote. That pretty much sums up the Tuamotu archipelago. It’s easily one of our top 5 sailing destinations in the world. Pristine waters, abundant marine life, and just outside of the hurricane zone. Sailing here on our own boat was a dream (and one we hope to repeat). But until then, we are doing the next best thing. Sailing with friends!
But Fakarava is way out here, and it's a coral atoll. Meaning there isn't much in the form of supplies, and fertile soil for growing food is minimal. Locals have to be self-sufficient because survival this far from the mainland requires great planning and patients. Today you’ll get a little taste of what it’s like to go on a supply mission to one of the most remote islands in the world.
Plus, we test some new cameras and have the most gorgeous champagne sail to our favorite dive spot of all time. Sharks, sharks, and more sharks. Hundreds of them! So put on your flippers and jump in!

We sold our cruising catamaran to move on to a more performance-based and self-reliant vessel. An HH44 and while it’s the first of its kind and still being built, we're spending some time on the big sister to our future boat. Which should give us a sneak peek at what we can expect.

Living on a yacht can sound like a lot of things and to us, it always sounded bonkers expensive. A dream. But the reality is there is a boat for every budget. Chances are, you can take whatever your cost of living is now and live on a boat for the same. Or a lot less. We’re stepping into the motor yacht world today with a deep dive into what living aboard a luxury yacht like this looks like. We chat about maintenance, running costs, and even dockage fees.

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.

In New Zealand, sheep outnumber humans by 5 to 1. So, when the opportunity came up to join a farm for a day, we only asked one question; “can we borrow a pair of gum boots”?

Why Curiosity2 Self-Reliance + Sustainability = Freedom Self-Reliance: To rely on our own resources and limit our need for a marina or fuel dock. Sustainability: Thinking about what we do today and how it will affect next week, next year, the next decade, and so on. It’s the recognition that we’re all part of a living system and that everything we do impacts the world around us. In other words, we want to be out in the world living and exploring for as long as possible. Both in terms of not having to worry about our resources or our habitat disappearing. It's practical, not political. And we know we're not the only ones seeking this kind of freedom because we have you! Our community of like-minded people we've been having this exact conversation with for the past decade. It doesn't matter if you are in an RV, Tiny House, Sailboat, Motorboat, Homestead, Farm, Ranch, or Off-Grid Island Resort...at the end of the day, we've all connected over our love for nature and our desire to be in it. This new HH44 is the continuation of that conversation and desire. This is not the ultimate, all-time perfect eco boat or zero-footprint anything. Not even close. It’s the best option that we could find working with viable, available solutions. It’s the type of innovation we want to support, encourage, and see way more of. We're super stoked about getting into the world of Performance Cruising and hybrid electric sailing with our new HH44 catamaran. HH catamarans have a reputation for building the best luxury performance sailing catamarans in the world. And now this is a brand-new boat designed from the ground up with solar, hydrogeneration, and electric motoring in mind. Add in our rain capture system and we have the ability to be off the grid and explore incredibly remote and uninhabited areas for months and months at a time. This is why we want an electric tender that continues this theme of self-reliance and sustainability. Because if we can cruise without ever needing to hunt down fuel on a remote island, well, that will be the dream!
It’s official, we are no longer the owners of Curiosity. Moving out of the boat that has been our home for the last 6 years is bittersweet. Because we’re not just saying goodbye to the boat, but to almost all our possessions. We’re only taking what we can carry onto the plane…which isn’t much.
The long process of cleaning and carefully choosing which items to pack left us feeling a little out of sorts. So many memories, feelings, dreams, and goals have all been made aboard this vessel.
Luckily, we’ve got three weeks in middle earth (The South Island of New Zealand) to revive ourselves and prepare for the exciting times ahead. And nothing does that better than diving deep into nature.

It's judgment day. We have accepted an offer on Curiosity but it's the survey and sea trial that will make or break the sale of our boat. Because the hired judge (surveyor) is here to expose all of Curiosity's imperfections, determine if she is seaworthy and if we've been good or bad boat owners. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full Disclosure: Transparency is important to us because we want you to understand what our relationship with HH Catamarans means and how it will affect our content. The short answer is, that it won't. We did receive a small discount on the purchase of our boat in exchange for the publicity HH44 Catamaran will receive. But HH fully agreed that it was important we retain full creative freedom and continue to create as we always have, by sharing our honest experiences. It's because of this shared desire for transparency that we are very much looking forward to working with and owning an HH44 Catamaran.

Being on a boat in a spectacular place on a beautiful day is splendid. But sailing isn’t the fastest, easiest, or most comfortable way to travel or live.
So why do we revel in discomfort? This is a question I ask myself after every sleepless night or rough voyage across a sporting sea (we sailors say sporting so it doesn't sound like we're complaining). Because being a liveaboard, is a very mixed bag. It’s completely impractical and yet we think it’s the greatest way to exist on the planet. We love it and this is a theory on why.

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

My fingernails are peeling off in layers, sort of like an onion, and together with the caulk residue, it looks like the remnants of a french manicure gone bad. I also managed to bash my pinky toe on the last batten just before we slid it into the mainsail. I will no doubt lose that toenail.
And then there is Jason's thumb, which had an altercation with a razor blade. It's the lingering physical evidence of the last three weeks of boat projects. Clearly, this round was particularly harsh on the extremities.
These two sailors are parched and our bodies and minds are in need of a little R&R. So, we set sail for the Isle of Wine.
It's been called the Martha's Vineyard of New Zealand, the honeymoon destination and the Aucklanders escape from the city. It's the country's 11th largest island but the second-most densely populated at a whopping 7,689.
It is none other than the island of Waiheke.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Despite having ZERO racing experience or knowledge, we said YES to sailing in the biggest club racing series in New Zealand. To be honest, we’ve never even watched a race (In all fairness, we don’t watch any sports. Our excuse is we're participators, not spectators).
So why go racing now?!? Good question. They say the fastest way to be a better sailor is to race.
It seems going into things full tilt and blind is sort of our unintentional style. It’s how we got into sailing in the first place so it really should be no surprise. We’ve practically made a career out of being underqualified and overly optimistic. Ya know, winging it. ____
