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
The sailing community seems like an awesome bunch of people! Really enjoy seeing all the friends you guys make along the way, thanks for including them in your videos 😄
I love how small channels like this has completely replaced cable TV for people like myself. Just want to say thanks for all the hard work. I know it’s not easy… ❤️
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!
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.
Your living the best years if your life and doing it well. As age catches us I knew there would be my last Scuba dive my last free dive my last open ocean romp, just didn't expect it at 66 yrs old but hey we're still living by the sea. You guys seize the days for us now and thanks. We have been with you since your beginning RV days. We still have our Rv and planning a fall 5 month romp.
I KNOW what you mean. Wife and I traveld the world, including NZ and AUS....Dove in Guam, Greece, HI the Caribbean and other places...Had a heart attack, and no longer allowed to dive. I now spend more time with doctors appointments. For all you younger folks, travel where you can, step outside of your comfort zone and explore. The most important "Thing" you have is time...You only get to use it once, and when it's used up.....Game over..Use it wisely...
@@MrDonJBerg Oh Don how true those words ring...I never thought I'd be forced into retirement at 48 after a nasty car accident...retirement in my mind was taking the time I never took while I worked 'for' my 'golden days'...I watch these vlogs because its like being taken away for a few precious moments to live vicariously the these amazing people...
Great job and many thanks to Mike for taking his time to help! Thank you guys for sharing your life with us. Absolutely incredible production. The effort you put into this is evident.
Glad to see the saga of the bad sails situation come to a happy ending. They look good! Thank you guys for all your adventures from RV to open Seas. Fred in Texas
Finally the sails are installed! They look marvelous! Did you get your refrigerators? Can you do a project update of what has been done and what still needs to be done before leaving New Zealand. You are so blessed by the Sailing community.
Glory Be to Curiosity! New Sails! Such a beautiful thing to see for you guys! I love the joyfulness in your voices.. What an uplift for a cold and snowy Kentucky morning and a such a difference from watching the news in Ukraine where everything is so sad and depressing. Such an incredible change of mood.. This video is so heaven sent.. Again Stay Safe and Thank you..
@@kathyadair7367 Me too! I feel so alive watching all of the Wynn's adventurers.. Such a special way to wake up every Sunday. Looking forward to Seeing Hawaii! Be well! xoxo
Glad to see that you have finally received the long-awaited sails. 👍Looking forward to your videos filmed on Waiheke, an island dear to my heart. Your videos in New Zealand bring a smile to my heart, as a Kiwi living in Europe for 25-ish years. Grateful that you appreciate the beauty there. Enjoy the rest of your time there.💙
My partner and I 21yr olds, bloody love your videos!! From Sydney aus! Such a awesome vibe! You guys can film anything we will enjoy it! Keep doing you! Xox
I fully agree that sails are your engine, unless of course you're using the other ones, Maybe the sails are your eco-friendly engine. Glad you finally got your new sails. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
UPS: The sails will get to you from South Africa overnight The Wynns: *Amazing, every word of what you just said...was wrong* That cheeky little spider at 14:53 wanted to photobomb Nikki, I don't blame it, that's one way of getting famous 😂. Meanwhile the old sail after everything it went through: *Tis but a scratch*
Jason said it "You learn so much being a sailor"! I feel I have learned a lot just watching. Can't wait to see what you guys do with the old sails. I want to buy something for my brother and his wife-they rent sail boats all over the world and do flotillas.
@16:18 - I have seen many captains assisting.. Mike is no exception... He was taught to assist the fellow sailors.. I appreciate a lot that he did exactly what he learnt.. And, I am sure that he will teach his students the same... Loads of love and respect to him...
Oh so happy for you you two in finally being able to get these projects completed after all the heartache!! Well done you two!! Bravo!! That sundowner was well deserved!!!
So happy for you that your new sails are in and up! And how nice for all those folks who helped out. We all get by with a little help from our friends. 🌹
May your new sail always be full of wind. ♥️ Thanks for sharing the video. I know it was hard work, plus recording it as you went. I really enjoy watching your adventures. I’m Still binge watching the old videos with my wife. We’re almost done. Haha!
Its all *smooth sails* from here! enjoyed this video. What a nice guy he was helping you all out-that was a LOT of work! Ive learned a lot watching your travels.
It is important to not rely on mainstream media. For they can be extremely biased and stick to an agenda whether it be left or right. And that's why it's great to have a neutral source like Morning Brew so instead of listening to an agenda, you're listening to just plain information, the reason you watch and read the news in the first place
Mainstream media is 90% of the media and they support Democrats without facts. The remaining media is mostly unbiased with a tiny fraction conservative.
Wow so happy for you guys finally done 🤩🤩Mike was such a big help love how the community pulls together thanks again for sharing your life with us❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on finally getting new sails! Wow! How cool to have a volunteer come out and help you with your sails and one who knows a thing or two about sailing also! Now to see you guys go fast!
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.
Glad to see you finally get the sails you've been needing for so long. fyi, loosing your teeth represents one losing their faulty precepts (that which we chew our food/new information with).
I know nothing about boats and hate doing day trips on them but you make every video interesting. Im really glad your new sails arrived and are of good quality. Your attitude to even the grimmest news was impressive. Happy travels. I’m with you all the way. Jill 💖 Australia.
Now with the new sails installed we need to do some performance testing. Along with the specs of them. (i.e. size, max wind) Sailors seem to be a lot like Jeepers. When you need help there is always someone there to help.
I could almost smell the beer at the end. Days are getting longer and nicer up here, North of the equator. Things are looking up. How about having something made with the old sails and selling them? Say like reusable shopping bags, duffel bags, etc. ... because you don't have enough to do already. 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.
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
So reset again . I know you all need the to yourselves but know that you are missed when you get to have time to yourselves. Great having you back and great progress with the projects you have been undertaking. Looking forward to seeing where these Sails will take ya all to. Much Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Great big KUDOS to Mike for jumping in and lending a hand. And to anyone else who was maybe off camera who pitched in. Including the cute kiddos checking out the camera! Congrats on the new sheets Wynns!! Or sails if I used the wrong term!
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.
Loved the new video with the new sails installation.....sometime it would cool if you could put up a graphic showing the different sails, their positions, their names, and what they are used for..........for those of us who are not sailors!!
I own six horses. Mucking stalls, spreading poo, dragging the arena, cleaning paddocks, oiling tack, seeding pastures, scrubbing buckets, bathing/grooming/hoof trimming. I totally feel you guys. Though we're living very different lives. The dedication and daily routines to keep up a very different way of life......that's part of what drew me to your channel.
Thanks Mike! Can't wait to see them up and see how much of an improvement there will be in performance. I know you guys have gone through a lot with these sails, so congrats! Cheers from TO!
Awesome video! So happy that y’all got the new sails on and get ready for more adventures! Y’all have. A great day, evening or what ever your at in your day! Much love from Texas! 🤗
I think my fave thing in life is when knowledgable and kind people offer their help. Folks like Mike keep this crazy world going round in the right direction. Everything looks so nice! Yippee!
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
Thank you for the porthole into your life. It has helped me escape life when I needed a break. I’m very blessed, my husband has a water anxiety, and I wish I could live this kind of life. I’m happy with what God has blessed me with, and am ok with the path he chose for me. So thank you for allowing me to live a bit through you! God Bless you!
And, may then next 15 yrs Fill you with much joy and happiness and safe travels travels. I will continue to watch from Nova Scotia Canada. CHEERS good people 🍹🙏❤
A good use for old sails. 1. When your poping into remote islands small ones give them to Fisher men to make huts on the beach. For there little fishing camps. 2. Cut out the middle of the main. Resew stitches. Make a free shade tent for the yacht. Toss it over the main tie it down. Now mega shade for long stays in high sun light areas. The webbing, can be made into a fish NET basket, bait the middle. Drop it over. Pull it back up with a wench, hope it's filled with fish. 3. Leave them with rope on a island for other cruisers. Start a shelter, small islands could use them to catch rain water also. They can be cut up and used as windows and doors. Tree branch frames, tie a sail webbing middle. Now the poorest people in the world who live on remote islands have a door to block the wind. Even keeping part in your ditch bag. What could be cool also is cut out part. Make a large ,sign on sail. Ask your new friends to sign the sail with a sharpie, fill the cut out patch with names . Dates and where you were. Then hold a LOTTORY for your viewer's. Injoy. .. question. What happens to a old classic car. When you drop a lot bigger motor in it. And make it go faster.... answer, the old car frame breaks. Injoy
Nikki, when you collapsed over that (new) sail bag I nearly choked on my sandwich! Hilarious. When I watched your 'About Us' video and learned about your 'less-than-perfect' start in life..... I was in floods. ----- You go girl! Looking forward to more content from you both. Sail safe! X
"No creaking... it's got a little extra bounce in it...it's not all crunchy...it's white... feels nice! Oh, the trampoline! I thought she was talking about Jason!
Really enjoyed seeing you replace the sails. How often do you replace them and what’s the rough cost of doing this? After all of this you guys need another relaxing holiday!
As you know I am an ardent MY'er: turn the key, cast-off/lift anchors and go. However, seeing your new sails, even I am excited to see them billow in a good Wynnd..lol. I'm betting your already out there smashing the sound barrier. Have a great week u2!
Super cool. New sails!!! btw Levi jeans started out buying the old hemp sails, re-carding, then weaving up some new hemp cloth to make the jeans that never wore out. Hemp not cotton for clothing is the way to go - check it out.
Hemp and Flax/linen are two fabrics that buried in the change to Cotton ...its one of the worst mass crops out for its social history and the Environmental damage its caused globally. See the case of the Aral sea but mostly because of the demands it places on water for irrigation and the pesticides used to protect the crop. Arsenic was heavily used in the early stages of growing it ....and still leaves huge areas of land in the S. US toxic for growing food crops or building on.
@@Jay...777 Also a case of the Tobacco companies like oil companies greasing govt and politicians palms up front by taxes and via back pockets and more direct tactics. Nylon was needed as its an oil based product it becomes part of that and the non biodegradable plastics problem.🤷🏻♂️
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Agreed. Anyway, now we have special hemp fiber strains with no "frills" there's no excuse for not growing it everywhere. Steam fibrillates into a fine as silk yarn - a famous fashion house should make it universally popular.
@@Jay...777 Yup its been used by car manufacturers to form interior trim panels .. Bamboo is another bio super fiber and carbon sink .. Though Hemp has the ability to stick down monster roots that pull up water...and lock up toxic metals like Arsenic while binding the soil in place against wind and flooding. Livestock will eat leaves A bit of genetic fiddling and you could introduce nitrogen fixing bacteria nodes into the roots improve the soil and fix carbon.
Jason & Niki, I am so happy for you with the new Ullman Sails. After the disappointment caused by a South African manufacturer come the HAPPINESS by receiving the new sails from Ullman Sails out of South Africa. Safe world traveling's. Uncle Will - Yzerfontein, South Africa.
🎉🥳👏🏼🥂🍾🎊Congratulations on hitting the big 500k subscribers threshold - only another 500k until the big 1 million!! Love your channel - won’t take long until you will be celebrating again. ❤️
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

I agree.... mainstream tv ain't got what we want...like the real thing like the Wynn's!!!
Crispy new sails... supple trampolines... This boat is itching for a new adventure, eh? Thanks to Mike for helping! Stay safe out there!
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 bet you are just so happy to finally get your new sails. Good for you guys.
Boy! Thank you Mike for helping The Wynns with the re-build of their two engines (sails install).
Congrats on finally getting new sails! Wow! How cool to have a volunteer come out and help you with your sails and one who knows a thing or two about sailing also! Now to see you guys go fast!
I’m so happy you finally have your new sails. Thanks Mike for helping them.

So glad you finally have your new sails and trampolines. Very nice of Mike to help you out.
Beautiful sails, can’t wait to see them perform. I’m really surprised that you got 16 years from your sails. Thank you as always for sharing!
Glad to see you finally get the sails you've been needing for so long. fyi, loosing your teeth represents one losing their faulty precepts (that which we chew our food/new information with).
Warm winds and safe travels from Florida 😎🏝️👍🙏☮️
I know nothing about boats and hate doing day trips on them but you make every video interesting.
Im really glad your new sails arrived and are of good quality. Your attitude to even the grimmest news was impressive. Happy travels. I’m with you all the way. Jill 💖 Australia.
Now with the new sails installed we need to do some performance testing. Along with the specs of them. (i.e. size, max wind)
Sailors seem to be a lot like Jeepers. When you need help there is always someone there to help.
'The Wind is our Fuel, the Sails are our Engine'...appropriate poetry. 😊
Cheers? You almost broke my screen with those lens taps! It sure is great to see your new sails. Congrats.
Thank you, Mike! Great job, Nikki and Jason! Sail swiftly and safely wherever you sail!
Thanks Mike for helping them. We all need to help each other more.
I could almost smell the beer at the end. Days are getting longer and nicer up here, North of the equator. Things are looking up.
How about having something made with the old sails and selling them? Say like reusable shopping bags, duffel bags, etc. ... because you don't have enough to do already. 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.
That is a lot of work. The maintenance is nits. Good on Mike for helping out.
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
Picking up the sound of crisp new sails👍I imagine they smell amazing. 🤭
The sails look wonderful! I'm so grateful the Company came through after all. Thanks to Mark and his family for the help too! Much love from Denver
So reset again . I know you all need the to yourselves but know that you are missed when you get to have time to yourselves. Great having you back and great progress with the projects you have been undertaking. Looking forward to seeing where these Sails will take ya all to.
Much Love from Ireland 🇮🇪

Great job you two. Keep it up. Fair winds and following seas. Happy sailing. Shalom
Those sails represent, your freedom and sense of adventure. ❤️
Great to see you two back. Great sails and a great job putting them on. x

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.
That’s what it’s all about the cool beverage at the end of a project. Well done!
Nice work guys. Thanks for taking us along.
Loved the new video with the new sails installation.....sometime it would cool if you could put up a graphic showing the different sails, their positions, their names, and what they are used for..........for those of us who are not sailors!!
👍Awesome. So glad you guys had such a wonderful experienced helper. Super cute kids too. 💝

mowing the lawn vs scraping the hulls, a great comparison and gives those with houses a perspective we never thought about
Thank You Mike! You guys all blessed! 🙏💜 Stay safe!
Always love seeing your videos pop up 🤩👋🏼

Beautiful inside and out. A rare commodity these days. Thanks for sharing y’all!
Thanks Mike for helping them.
So happy sails ⛵️ finally came
I definitely agree
Sails are your power
Your freedom 💗
Fresh sails are just-so-nice! Super easy to shape, power up, power down and they will free up some speed.
A good use for old sails. 1. When your poping into remote islands small ones give them to Fisher men to make huts on the beach. For there little fishing camps. 2. Cut out the middle of the main. Resew stitches. Make a free shade tent for the yacht. Toss it over the main tie it down. Now mega shade for long stays in high sun light areas. The webbing, can be made into a fish NET basket, bait the middle. Drop it over. Pull it back up with a wench, hope it's filled with fish. 3. Leave them with rope on a island for other cruisers. Start a shelter, small islands could use them to catch rain water also. They can be cut up and used as windows and doors. Tree branch frames, tie a sail webbing middle. Now the poorest people in the world who live on remote islands have a door to block the wind. Even keeping part in your ditch bag. What could be cool also is cut out part. Make a large ,sign on sail. Ask your new friends to sign the sail with a sharpie, fill the cut out patch with names . Dates and where you were. Then hold a LOTTORY for your viewer's. Injoy. .. question. What happens to a old classic car. When you drop a lot bigger motor in it. And make it go faster.... answer, the old car frame breaks. Injoy
Nikki, when you collapsed over that (new) sail bag I nearly choked on my sandwich! Hilarious.
When I watched your 'About Us' video and learned about your 'less-than-perfect' start in life.....
I was in floods. ----- You go girl!
Looking forward to more content from you both. Sail safe! X
Always exciting to see your boat work and can't wait to hear about your next adventure.
Thanks Mike! LOL.. Congrats on the new engine!
Congratulations on the sails, good to have willing people to help.
"No creaking... it's got a little extra bounce in it...it's not all crunchy...it's white... feels nice! Oh, the trampoline! I thought she was talking about Jason!
I appreciate u2
for making life fun lovin'.
With thw Wynns,
My sunday mornings, tea & toast, are lovely
What could sails be other than an engine? Freedom. Sails are freedom.
Really enjoyed seeing you replace the sails. How often do you replace them and what’s the rough cost of doing this? After all of this you guys need another relaxing holiday!
It's been 16 years since they had new ones - mentioned several times in the video. Cost was discussed in videos some time ago - ain't cheap!
Yes... 16 more years of wonderful videos and new adventures.. Fair Winds and Following Seas 💞
Can't wait until we get to see Curiosity out at sea in a good wind! Hope you make it to the Bay of Islands before you leave NZ...
Thank you Mike!
As you know I am an ardent MY'er: turn the key, cast-off/lift anchors and go. However, seeing your new sails, even I am excited to see them billow in a good Wynnd..lol. I'm betting your already out there smashing the sound barrier. Have a great week u2!
I have taken some time for sailing lessons!! Thanks to the Wynns and the always blowing winds of curiosity and adventure.
Super cool. New sails!!!
btw Levi jeans started out buying the old hemp sails, re-carding, then weaving up some new hemp cloth to make the jeans that never wore out. Hemp not cotton for clothing is the way to go - check it out.
Hemp and Flax/linen are two fabrics that buried in the change to Cotton ...its one of the worst mass crops out for its social history and the Environmental damage its caused globally. See the case of the Aral sea but mostly because of the demands it places on water for irrigation and the pesticides used to protect the crop. Arsenic was heavily used in the early stages of growing it ....and still leaves huge areas of land in the S. US toxic for growing food crops or building on.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Yes indeed - pity DuPont invented Nylon just when everyone was prohibition mad
@@Jay...777
Also a case of the Tobacco companies like oil companies greasing govt and politicians palms up front by taxes and via back pockets and more direct tactics.
Nylon was needed as its an oil based product it becomes part of that and the non biodegradable plastics problem.🤷🏻♂️
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Agreed. Anyway, now we have special hemp fiber strains with no "frills" there's no excuse for not growing it everywhere. Steam fibrillates into a fine as silk yarn - a famous fashion house should make it universally popular.
@@Jay...777
Yup its been used by car manufacturers to form interior trim panels ..
Bamboo is another bio super fiber and carbon sink ..
Though Hemp has the ability to stick down monster roots that pull up water...and lock up toxic metals like Arsenic while binding the soil in place against wind and flooding.
Livestock will eat leaves
A bit of genetic fiddling and you could introduce nitrogen fixing bacteria nodes into the roots improve the soil and fix carbon.
That boat is looking great. I bet you are excited to try out those new sails as we are all excited to see them in action
Jason & Niki, I am so happy for you with the new Ullman Sails. After the disappointment caused by a South African manufacturer come the HAPPINESS by receiving the new sails from Ullman Sails out of South Africa. Safe world traveling's. Uncle Will - Yzerfontein, South Africa.
That was funny and a LOT of hard work. You've gotten great service out of your Ullman Sails over the decades AND your hallmark "yellow" spinnaker. :)
