You two followed thru on a big goal and you did it well. Traveling around the country in a motorhome from state to state is an insignificant feat compared to sailing vast distances to other countries.....and you did it without burning up a bunch of fuel! Very few people ever get the chance to have such an outstanding adventure.....you guys reached far out and grabbed that elusive brass ring, and it is paying off, big time!!
There are many beautiful islands and atolls around that area, so they may stay awhile. I think they will probably continue on southwestward to New Zealand, Australia and on to who knows where......
They mostly went thru boredom. If they spend time in the Far East, most passages would only be two or three days and some at one week max between stops......they can now do that standing on their heads ;-).
Wow! I am late to the party but getting to binge watch you two cross an ocean the last two days has been EPIC! Thanks for taking us along with all your days and nights!
Your starter isn't bad, if it was it wouldn't turn the engine over. It's your solenoid that's gone caput. Good idea to keep a spare onboard, ie, order two, one to replace the bad one & an extra. A minimal engine spares kit for passage making (especially with two engines) would include that plus a a spare water pump, fuel pump, an injector or two, a box full of impellers, belts & engine zincs. I've done that passage & many others & used all of the above! Congrats on completion on your biggest passage! Now you can enjoy the rewards.
@@LTVoyager It's a zinc rod that usually is threaded into a brass plug. Then that plug screws into the engine block/heat exchanger or one or more other locations within the engine that accomodate the flow of raw seawater through the block, the purpose of with is to eliminate or at least reduce electrolysis within the engine. Marine engines are designed for the location of at least one of these, older designs may have as many as three. Failure to replace these as needed can result in the eventual damage or loss of critical engine components.
So happy to see you make it to land after your trip across the Pacific. You have earned yourselves a stay in paradise after your 25 days at sea. Enjoy and will be waiting for your next video.
"You're Amazing", "Awkward Silence...", and "That's What She Said"!! Great Video, Really showed how you felt as the passage ended, tired, and yet so happy!! Thanks for sharing!
You two have now entered through the gateway to the most beautiful waters in the world. Now begins the real adventure, the reason sailors fall in love with the sea. Before you behold... Neptune's Playground.
Land ho ! I was so excited I almost went to the end of the video but I was good and watched the whole thing. You 2 are amazing! Have fun and thanks for sharing
I am so in awe of your accomplishments and I soooo admire you two! Going from knowing nothing about sailing to crossing the Pacific that is amazing! Congratulations.
Its the relay. I have same emgine. It does this once in a while. It is not a expensive fix. I had 15,000 hours on my 2006 yanmar 4 jh4e. It would only happen when you need it most. But its a 1 minute jump w screw driver.
Congratulations Nikki and Jason. You have just completed one of the worlds longest ocean passages. You should be sooo proud of your achievements in such a short sailing career. I am so impressed at your tenacity. You are my favourite sailing blog and I look forward to your videos every week. Your story telling and video editing I find just so appealing. 👍👏❤️
One of the most amazing things about the ocean is every day is a different day and you never know what beauty lies within. Dolphins are amazing when they play with the boat. So Happy for both of you:))
I know how it feels! After 51 days alone in Antarctica and not seeing anything but ice, it was so overwhelming to finally see the Amundsen Scott station on the horizon. When I saw the part where you were making out the outline of land on the horizon it just reminded me of that day. Really is impossible to explain how awesome it is to see the faint outline on the horizon.
Congratulations you two!! You have completed an extraordinary voyage in life. You will never forget that amazing feeling of arrival into Paradise for the rest of your lives.
Welcome to French Polynesia! My favorite place on earth! I've been following you since you first bought your boat and have LOVED watching your adventure. Looking forward to more! Safe travels!
It's been fun to follow along and see what it takes for a couple people of ordinary means to go from no experience to successfully sailing across the Pacific in their own boat. I'd say having the right partner for the journey might be the biggest requirement, but determination, smarts, positive attitude, and uh, "Curiosity" are all required qualities as well. What a wonderful accomplishment! I'm looking forward to seeing more as your journey continues. Safe travels.
What a feat you both had achieved to sail across the Pacific Ocean in 24 days in just a small sail boat. Your endurance & constant smiles during your long journey & the high risk you both took just touched my heart to tears.
I've been following you since your RV days. Actually, I first saw you in a TV show when you were looking at RVs for the first time. To continue, what you two have done in the last two years is beyond amazing. To go from a motorhome to a sailboat, and then sail it across the Pacific! WOW!
Officially sailors of the world. Huge accomplishment. Congrats and bottoms up. And, thank you so very much for sharing your experience. Great travel story.
Yeahhhhhhhhh you guys how amazing, you made it to French Polynesia!! 3 years late to your adventures but Wooohooooo, equally as excited. What dramatic landscapes you have just sailed into. Love it! xxxxxxxx
So happy you made it to the French Polynesia. I have loved watching your journey sailing through the Pacific ocean and can't wait to see your future adventures! 😀😀😀
What an incredible journey. Thank you for taking the time to share this sliver of your lives with us. To think, your story will live for generations to come on the digital cave walls of the internet. How utterly exciting! ⛵❤
Do you guys remember back in the motor home days when Jason couldn't change a tire? Well he's done awesome and I am so happy with how much he's grown as a person. Yeah "Gone with the Wynns has been a really nice trip. Thanks kids.
Hey Nikki, Jason, Cleo and Singga, I know it's a year later but I just saw your "We See Land..." video and I was just smiling so much for your huge accomplishment. Wow, so epic a lifetime journey!!! 🏝🌴🌱🙏🏼🌹 So amazing how you put these videos together, so well done. Really feels like we're on the voyage with you. You must have felt so proud. Big hug to all of you.
Congratulations! That's a tremendous testimony to your hard work, intelligence and following your dreams! And a lot of fun for us to watch, so thanks for giving us the easy "crew" slot.
I can only imagine the excitement running through you when you arrived, what it's been 4 months now? You're such a joy to watch. When Nikki said all she's seen during the passage was water and clouds my first thought was and Jason and low and behold Jason at that second says "and me" lol. Those dolphins were excited to see you too. My thoughts exactly Jason, Nikki is amazing (cutting her own hair), you're both awesome. Sending Love and safe sails. Have fun!
I like to fathom just how much sailors were in-the-moment and "reading" the signs in the sky, clouds, and waves... as they navigated the earth in the days before radar & GPS. Truly amazing that anyone ever had the fortitude to sail out to where one could see no land, and keep going night and day... into literally The Great Unknown. Thanks for sharing your routes with all of us landlubbers.
Queue the tears. CONGRATULATIONS!!! What an epic adventure and thank you for bringing us along. My family has been following you guys for years from when you were in the RV. We just settled in Utah after 3.5 years in an RV hitting each of the continental 48. Hubby and I talk about sailing once our boys are grown. You both are truly inspiring.
Ah, we made it!! I feel like I went with you. A few times you made me worry - like a mom/nana - that it was taking too long to give us an update. I love the sea from afar. Guess I’m a land lubber. Thank you for sharing with us. My son and I usually stream you to our tv (after I download) but I couldn’t wait. I’ll just act surprised when I share it. You kids are great. Hugs, kiddos!!
Been binge watching from the begining. Trying to catch up to where you are today. Didn't want to miss the journey. Big Congrats on all that you have accomplished thus far.
Even though we follow you all over social media, we almost cried at all the excitement! Awesome to be part of your adventures for all theses years! Congratulations whoop whoop!
I am so proud of you guys, i have been BINGE watching you the last week or so, as i have just came across the obsession of making sailing a dream. YOU guys are so awesome, i have watched your 2021 videos, and random ones alone the way, but i love that youtube has put these all side by side to be able to watch the whole voyage! You guys are awesome. AND the drone footage is amazing! Congratulations!
Hey Alexis! If you head over to the GWTW UA-cam page, click on the "videos" tab and you can sort them and watch. Thanks for sailing with us! Curious Minion
Congratulations! I know this is old, but this is where I’m at in your sailing vlogs. What a spectacular crossing! You two are so inspirational... just goes to show with hard work, acquisition of knowledge and a great partner, anything is possible. Cheers!🍻
I love watching your posts you've always done youtube right except once since I've been watching. You both seem authentic, where's others it seems forced. Thanks
CONGRATULATIONS !!!! What a great feeling that must have been to arrive. I was watching your "schooling videos" the other day. Whew what a difference. You should be so proud of yourself. And oh boy, did you prove so many people wrong. Can't wait for next Sunday. Kisses to Singa and Cleo 😽😽
Ahh, so happy to be ashore with y'all! Watching this video I was feeling the stress and anticipation right along with you! Now I can't wait to see a little or a lot of French Polyanesia.😁
So good to see you finally reaching land. Look forward to your videos each week. You have done a marvelous job sailing across. Can't wait for the next one and hope you find a good internet connection.
Thank you for doing such a good job of taking us along on this trip -- nearly two months of episodes dedicated just to this left me brimming with excitement about your finally reaching French Polynesia. Huzzahs all round!
I love how the dolphins always seem to be there to welcome you to a new country or island group…
This was nice to watch. I started watching you two when you helped an older man try to get his medications. I was hooked ever since.
You two followed thru on a big goal and you did it well. Traveling around the country in a motorhome from state to state is an insignificant feat compared to sailing vast distances to other countries.....and you did it without burning up a bunch of fuel! Very few people ever get the chance to have such an outstanding adventure.....you guys reached far out and grabbed that elusive brass ring, and it is paying off, big time!!
How long are they staying? Guess return trip will be. Just as adventurous?
There are many beautiful islands and atolls around that area, so they may stay awhile. I think they will probably continue on southwestward to New Zealand, Australia and on to who knows where......
I bet they will sell the boat before going through that again!
They mostly went thru boredom. If they spend time in the Far East, most passages would only be two or three days and some at one week max between stops......they can now do that standing on their heads ;-).
thanks Ed, didn't even think of those possibilities...
The Dolphins were great. Sailors do go nuts when they show up. Thanks for sharing your day with me. That was nice 😊 ♥️
It's called "channel fever" ! Great trip you guys! Y'all are now saltwater sailors! Congrats! Y'all are a long ways from the RV ! 👍🏼🇺🇸❤️👍🏼
Wow! I am late to the party but getting to binge watch you two cross an ocean the last two days has been EPIC! Thanks for taking us along with all your days and nights!

Congrats on completion on your biggest passage! Now you can enjoy the rewards.
Mike Phillips What is an engine zinc?
sacrificial anode that's bolted to the motor to keep it from corroding.
@@LTVoyager It's a zinc rod that usually is threaded into a brass plug. Then that plug screws into the engine block/heat exchanger or one or more other locations within the engine that accomodate the flow of raw seawater through the block, the purpose of with is to eliminate or at least reduce electrolysis within the engine.

Mike Phillips Thanks. I know about those in water heaters, but never dealt with a salt water cooled engine before.
He jumped the solenoid and it worked, he didn't bypass the solenoid, so the problem is a switch or wiring
"Awkward silence." Too funny! Congrats on your passage!
My favorite part - Nikki at the helm dancing while Jason works on the anchor in the background.
By the way one of the reasons why you have such a family type following is your openness and candidacy. It why we all love you guys
Land Ho! Congratulations on your passage. Thanks for taking us along.🥂
That welcome from the dolphins made the journey! Spectacular!!
I know right. It was like they were all jumping and saying, "hooray, you're here, you're here. Come on, we'll escort you in. WELCOME.
So happy to see you make it to land after your trip across the Pacific. You have earned yourselves a stay in paradise after your 25 days at sea. Enjoy and will be waiting for your next video.
... AWKWARD SILENCE...
I spit out my coffee with that one! Very funny!
followed by "I love you too". LOL !!
Amazing life achievement for you both!
What a great thing to be able to reflect on as the years go by!
⛵⛵⛵
Inspirational!
That dolphin's welcome, there's no words, glad to see the dolphins are thriving in the middle of the Pacific.
"You're Amazing", "Awkward Silence...", and "That's What She Said"!! Great Video, Really showed how you felt as the passage ended, tired, and yet so happy!! Thanks for sharing!
You two have now entered through the gateway to the most beautiful waters in the world. Now begins the real adventure, the reason sailors fall in love with the sea. Before you behold... Neptune's Playground.
Awesome camera work on those dolphins :-) Great vid !
Land ho ! I was so excited I almost went to the end of the video but I was good and watched the whole thing. You 2 are amazing! Have fun and thanks for sharing
Congratulations on your voyage. Thank God you arrived safely. And thanks for letting us in a small way be a part of this adventure.
I always enjoy seeing Nikki's hurricane dance:)
I am so in awe of your accomplishments and I soooo admire you two! Going from knowing nothing about sailing to crossing the Pacific that is amazing! Congratulations.
Whoever of you two made the water splashing noise with your mouth while the dolphins were splashing down into the water, that was awesome. Rock on!
Your starter is fine ! It's your starting solenoid that is the trouble. Much easier and cheaper ! Cheers
He jumped the solenoid and it worked, he didn't bypass the solenoid, so the problem is a switch or wiring
John Donahue right on my thoughts exactly! Does Kent know?
Yeah the solenoid did engage so I agree that it's just a connection somewhere. Switch of terminal connection . We'll eventually find out.
Its the relay. I have same emgine. It does this once in a while. It is not a expensive fix. I had 15,000 hours on my 2006 yanmar 4 jh4e. It would only happen when you need it most. But its a 1 minute jump w screw driver.
At least it's not something unobtainable . Lucky for them.
"Awkward silence" and "Thats what she said", you two are awesome! Slowly making my way through your story.
I have had a very bad week and those dolphins made me cry with joy! Thanks!
Congratulations Nikki and Jason. You have just completed one of the worlds longest ocean passages. You should be sooo proud of your achievements in such a short sailing career. I am so impressed at your tenacity. You are my favourite sailing blog and I look forward to your videos every week. Your story telling and video editing I find just so appealing. 👍👏❤️
The Wynns with my morning bagel and coffee - no better way to start the day.
One of the most amazing things about the ocean is every day is a different day and you never know what beauty lies within. Dolphins are amazing when they play with the boat. So Happy for both of you:))
Oh my, this adventure has been the greatest. My grin can barely be managed. I am so pleased you made it with no serious problems. I just love you two.
I know how it feels! After 51 days alone in Antarctica and not seeing anything but ice, it was so overwhelming to finally see the Amundsen Scott station on the horizon. When I saw the part where you were making out the outline of land on the horizon it just reminded me of that day.

Fantastic!
Well done both on chasing your dreams and achieving them.
Simply inspirational!
Anybody else teary-eyed, with a smile on the face?
thats the same feeling from old time sailors when they sail for more then 100 days at sea!!
Congratulations!!!! You made it. Now it's time to savor the beauty. We can't wait.
What an achievement, and you are still talking to one another, well done and enjoy your stay and keep us all informed and educated. Stay safe.
Woo Hoo! Congrats sailors! Enjoy! Thank you for taking us along on your awesome journey.

Land Ho!!!!! Awesome. I’m just shamelessly binging on my days off. I better go out for a dip in the sea while I still can.
Binge on! 💙💛💙
Deprivation .... it's weird...brings a whole new level of gratitude to the human spirit....
Way to go guys! I got tears in my eyes as you were approaching land. So happy you're there!!! Enjoy and get some rest. ❤️
Yeahhhhhhhhh you guys how amazing, you made it to French Polynesia!! 3 years late to your adventures but Wooohooooo, equally as excited. What dramatic landscapes you have just sailed into. Love it! xxxxxxxx

Congratulations Sailing all the way across the Pacific is a big deal! Love watching all your videos. I've been a fan for about 5 years. Really cool!
Great achievement. Loved being there with you both on this epic voyage. Bravo!
The French Bob looks Awesome.

Wonderful! Thanks for letting us see the journey!
Love you guys. THE sound of waves is so right! Passages are gold! Good going, excited at the prospects of crossing your path in 2020.

Congratulations on the crossing. You most feel so proud that you have done it.
I am in absolute awe of you guys. Crossing the Pacific 🤯. What an achievement. I know it’s a year ago, but hats off to you. 🏆🎊🎉
Congratulations. And don't forget to take a stop back and reflect on everything you have accomplished. Bravo and Well done!! Congrats on 200K also!!
You're awesome people. Thank you for being you. God bless.

"Merci!" and a great smile usually covers most situations. 'Course its always better to know and deal in local currency.
Absolutely mesmerizing scenery, congratulations on the passage. Welcome to paradise!
That is one place I could live the remaining years of my life. Peace, mountains and surfing. Just give me a little house in the hills.
Even though we follow you all over social media, we almost cried at all the excitement! Awesome to be part of your adventures for all theses years! Congratulations whoop whoop!
The Dolphins are such hams, what show offs. I love them so much.
I am so proud of you guys, i have been BINGE watching you the last week or so, as i have just came across the obsession of making sailing a dream.

LAAAND! I was just as excited to see land as you guys. I am binge watching your uploads in the past 3 days and had enough water : )
Outstanding voyage! You two have it all going on, boat, ability, personality and that special something!
Brilliant to get Dolphins so close to the end, like welcoming you. Congratulations on the successful arrival.
I love watching your posts you've always done youtube right except once since I've been watching. You both seem authentic, where's others it seems forced. Thanks

I enjoyed taking the journey across the Pacific with you guys and celebrating your landfall!
Congrats. Thanks for taking us with you on your journeys! Simply amazing.
Glad you guys are safe on land again!!! Enjoy!!!
Exciting that you are there.... and the many faces of Nikki :) Looking forward to the adventures to come!
Good call on the wind! Clear Blue water! Sweet! Congratulations! Not many can say they crossed an Ocean!
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH !!! A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT !
