It's one of those experiences you can't expect as a traveler, but you always dream of. A local family decides to adopt you and treat you like family. Well, here in Palmerston it's sort of a tradition. Each sailor that decides to make their way to this remote atoll is given a mooring ball and adopted by locals for their stay. It is an incredible service and a wonderful experience.
We hope you enjoy this little peek into local island life, cause we're happy to bring you along for the adventure.

Nikki, Jason, I can't imagine what its like to float up to a mooring ball, tie off, and be accepted into, and being adopted by a local family. That when you think about it just blown my mind. I would so love to be doing exactly what you two are doing. Thank you for taking all of us along.
Thank you for taking us to church. Those children are so precious. Picking up the plastic....There's reality for you. Our garbage on their beautiful beach. These trips you are taking us on are amazing. Thank you so much.
This episode is why your site is at the top of my favorites list. Keep up the normalization of humanity and the education of the untraveled.
I fully agree, wanted to say something similar and saw your corresponding reaction:)
Thanks for bringing 'over there' to over here. You two do this like art.
Those kids are adorable. My daughter is the same age as Madeenia and I reckon they'd have a great time playing there. Sometimes I wish I could just pack up my family and move to a remote island like this. The community on these small islands is so much more closely knit than most highly populated places. Perfect for raising a family.
Little Henry looks destined to be a great leader in his community. Loved the singing! I can't wait until next weeks' episode to see more of this tiny island and the people.
I was worried about your boat when you left her in such high winds.
The kids look so cute and friendly. Looks like you had a great time.
I think it is fine that they ask visitors to help deliver needed items on the way to the island.
So I just have to say, after watching a number of sailing channels....why I like yours the best...even compared to that one that starts with an L. You give us a complete tour....a little history, a little education, a view of the different foods where you are, a view of the habitat, wildlife, and marine life., your nautical charts, your enthusiastic personalities, and the people you meet, and great videography just to name a few. Other channels don’t ( only other is old seadog, ruby rose maybe) give such a awesome complete view...and not to the level of inspirational views that you two do. And your beautiful cats....bonus❤️ Thanks for sharing yourselves and the world in so many ways 😊
I watch this channel occasionally. I like Sailing La Vagabond best, I think. Not sure.
Those two are very much in love, have fun friends, traveled Africa, the Mediterranean, New Zealand and along the Eastern coast of the USA and more. They remain in some places, fish hunting and exploring. They're calming... This vid isn't like the norm. It was tense, or more than usual.
I watch your channel faithfully, I started when you two were RVing years ago and have enjoyed your journey with you both . 😊I love your videography and the level of honesty that you bring. You and Delos are in a tie for favorite, you both are so good I can't pick one over the other 💕
I like these guys better, La Vagabond were handed a cat on lease and have to perform like trained seals to keep their views up and keep it. These two are much more natural.
@@tombobtail7706 and LaVegabond Elaina got a Boob job and Tattooed eyebrows about 2yrs ago, which is 100% fine, but when people were curious and asked about it, they were blocked. Soooo, everyone is just supposed to be dumb and not know nothing. They contradict themselves constantly and I find them to be followers and not leaders. JMO
being a church going christian myself, i found this episode quite satisfying and encouraging,that beautiful rainbow really looked heavenly and those islanders ;as usual so friendly.(kids adorable). glad your feeling better Jason, you guys are in my prayers. Big Love.Xx
I loved this episode! I teared up because of the church hymns and I could feel the warmth of the community. What a great episode and I can’t wait to learn more about the people and your experience there.
Now that’s how we all should treat the people that come to see and visit were ever we live . Would make for a better world ,plus the bonus is that you get to meat others from around the world . And have new friends for life . Thanks for sharing this with all of us . Was probably a hard editing in those ruff waters ,and worrying about the boat . So thanks again for all the time you two put in to sharing your life and travels with us . From Steve stott in sutherlin Oregon u.s.a.
This is one of my absolute favorite videos. Clearly, you are not just tourists here, but part of island life, even if it is still temporary. Would love to visit someday.
My daughter (10yr) said the same thing!
@@TheFosterJourney And I was about to say the same thing! Ditto and ditto again!
@@cccharlie007 👍⛵
The church singing got to my soul! It made me so emotional hearing it thinking of all the old helms we would sing at my church home in the beginning 💛💛 this island is beautiful!
Now that is a smart island. They know how to do business and be accommodating to sailors and others! Good job little island good job!
Ahhh...this episode was WONDERful! We loved it! What a special and rare opportunity for ALL of us to experience such a sweet & remote island & family. Seeing the wave action as s/v Curiosity flew across the water was really cool to see! The island's hospitality extended to visitors is really sweet, along with the care they take to keep their island home special. It is tragic to see that much plastic washing up on their shores, yet it is so important and good for you to share this reality. Reminders of how we are all connected is so important for us all to see and feel. Thank you for sharing your adventures. They inspire and open windows & hearts to our beautiful world!
What a beautiful experience!!! It is so shocking to see their wonderful land sullied with waste from the mainlands. Thanks so much for sharing!
You all keep breaking the mold and I keep watching!!!!! You have touched countless viewers in a special way. The world is better because of your presence. 🥇🥇🥇🍻. Cheers 👍🇺🇸😎
What a way to start a Sunday Morning. WOW that was a wonderful intro to this new amazing place of your travels. You two are sharing things that most of us don't even know that exist much less will ever see in person. Thanks Guy's.
Wags and Paula! So great to see our old neighbors from Kailua on this channel!
Have been really enjoying all of these videos. Thank you guys so much for posting such great content.
Thanks for wearing your PFDs while under way.
Ed Potter. 62yr on the water. 🤗
This world is such an amazing place. Thank you for sharing it with us.
The more remote destinations always seem to be the greatest experience for Curiosity
From Middle East Saudi Arabia. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us .God bless you all
Best regards from Saudi Arabia
Pretty amazing that there are people living on such a tiny island. What a awesome experience you guys are having.
Who would have guessed? Way in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, very remote, and only 35ish inhabitants on this island and everyone has an iPhone, internet connectivity (blow my mind how that is provided, unless satellite) and everyone is family. God is amazing. BTW, ladies, loved your church hats !!!
I think this has to be the best part of your travels. Getting to meet great people in their own habitat, their own way of living and seeing their daily struggles. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Now you begin to understand a world through other eyes - the benefit of the humble traveler.
I love that they invite guests to church.
Man...that hymn got me right in the feels.
I remember reading about Palmerston through the blogs of s/v Bumfuzzle and s/v Slapdash years ago...and thought it was the neatest thing ever to arrive to such a remote island and be adopted into the families. It was actually what gave me the final push to want to go cruising! So happy that you've had the chance to experience it and are able to share it with all of us. 😀
I’m so glad you travelled to this little island, I’ve been trying to find an actual, quality video about it and you guys provided it. Thank you so much :)
This short snapshot of island life whets the appetite for more. Please, a bit more of island life here on this small piece of unencumbered, tranquil living. Your site is among the very best for life as it is away from the hustle of big city life. Thanks for sharing. So appreciated.
You guy's are amazing. Somehow you turned a tiny island with 30 + or - people into a wonderful experience. Thanks... and continued safe travels.
Sailing the world finding exotic islands and sharing with indigenous people, isn't that what its all about. The very best to both of you!
I've always wanted to visit Palmerston Island, thank you for sharing and I cant wait for your next episode.
Do they suffer from health issues on the island? I've encountered communities where intermarriage exists and its so heartbreaking to see so many with the same difficult health issues.
See - I have a hunch they may have Less health issues living without hydrogenated oils , bleached flour , artificial sugar , etc. etc. etc. However , they may be enthusiastic importers of the 'Fake Foods' via that supply ship , . . . . . . . . ? ? Do they have a grocery store ?
@@richardhobbs9038 No amt.. of healthy foods can alter DNA patterns. I wish them the best regardless.
I watch faithfully; but rarely comment. Of all the great vlogs this moves to the top. It was neat to see Henry picking up debris and planting a tree, apparently on his own. Well done ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
Ps from the himalyan hermit . Your oceans travel journey,offered on youtube ,is a nice reminder for me ,for what i miss the most ,expanse of water and travel adventures . Thank you and all the best !
Wow, that singing in church was beautiful, what wonderful people!!
As someone who grew up listening to Organs and big Chiors, being a musician myself and experiencing the wonders of music: That singing is something I want to go experience. it was FANTASTIC, and probably much better in person to!!!!
Thats the Marsters family for yah
You should listen to other songs then it’s beautiful
Such beautiful people and their music, just incredible! Thank you!
This is so cool! Their singing is wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing it all.
Such a fun episode! You two bring insight and a glimpse into a way of life (or world) most of us will never experience otherwise. Thank you!
Sincerely emotional watching this episode. I started typing a long explanation, but I don't feel it necessary, so backspace backspace.
In summary, truly thankful that you shared this with us.
I’ve been following for a while and prob one of my fav episodes, cant wait to see more of this island and way of life
I just love your editing style. So much love, time and care put in!
Coffee and the Wynn’s, my day can now begin! I so look forward to each and every adventure guys! Thanks
I cant wait to see more of what its like to live there ... loved the episode cheers guys 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Poor Jason he looked like he was rode hard and hung up wet. Another great video. Thank you. 👍👍
Looks like you have become accomplished sailors. The places you have sailed are just beautiful. Please keep the videos coming
Back at work, saved your episodes for Coffee break. Thx for the upload, and its so wonderful to see such hospitality.
Perfect timing for this Thanksgiving weekend! Showing us how important family is to us all. What a lovely and peaceful place, with its residents sharing their life with total strangers from far far away.
As a grandad I love kids, glad u guys had socialized with them, awesome islanders and there culture, great episode!
I am so happy to see you guys! Ive missed you! Always living your best life. Thanks as always for sharing your amazing adventures.
What an incredible experience to be welcomed into the community. It is a joy to watch your videos and share just a bit in your adventures.
Jason I hope you are feeling better and that the weather allows you a break from the sea sickness.
Your life is very blessed. I so enjoyed visiting the church with you and listening to their worship. Thank you so much for all you include us in.
What an amazing experience you must have had. Thank you for sharing!
What a special experience to have, being adopted certainly helps you feel part of the culture and community. You are blessed.
Every Sunday I'm reminded the world is a fantastic place. Thanks, Wynns!
Such a awesome experience. Thank you for sharing with us. It's amazing how much you opened my little world by sharing these places and the people you meet along the way.
I sailed there in 2014 , we took baby formula from Rarotonga . Sunday Church , the singing was cool
Nice place to visit . Good People :)
Great vlog!! Can’t wait for next week to meet more of the family and see what life is like there. Such a beautiful place, thank you for sharing it with us!!
Do you ever watch some of your old vlogs and think of how far you have come and how much you have accomplished. I love your vlogs so much! You two have amazing personalities and always makes me smile. Thank you for making me feel warm during a cold winter ❣
The kids are adorable, the island is gorgeous, and you show me another place that I could have only imagined otherwise. Thank you!!!
Touching!! So glad you got to be apart of this Island.....very very cool
Loved this episode it was so nice you guys got to help with a package delivery, go to church and clean up the beach. I hope you two are getting rest and seeing lots of relatives and friends in Texas.
What a wonderful place! A few nice people, simple life, beauty all around. No vehicles. No crazy city people. I love it! Thanks for sharing your visit with us!! Can't wait to see more! Thank You!
Mark Dickey - Enjoy your comment . No vehicles at 14:01 ! ( I hope they are electric ! )
Congratulations Wynn's, you found Mysterious Island! That was awesome and I am so happy for you two to find such a place still exist and the people there are awesome, very Christ like and it warms the heart. Thank you for sharing this trip, it truly is inspiring and being so close to Christmas, it just makes the heart grow fonder.
Your cinematography skills always show the adventure and a story. So sorry SOMEONE got sick! As always, thank you for putting yourself out there. I no longer travel the world and you help keep so many great memories alive for me. Cheers
Thanks for sharing y’all amazing life!! 👍👍
Really great story telling, interesting backstory.
Thank you so much for this video...keep doing what you are doing as it brings much joy and happiness. ❤️
Very tastefully done! Another great vlogumentary.
Love Love Love this episode !!
As always, AMAZING episode guys, you always have a great adventure wherever you go. Thanks for taking us along with you!! Fair Wynns and Following Seas Curiosity !!
Yes! Powerful singing!!! 💗
What a wonderful experience that was tagging along with you to that magical place.
What a great experience. I enjoyed this episode. Really looking forward to next week.
Absolutely fascinating of all of your videos this I have found is the most interesting. Thank you for bringing us along and look forward to further adventures on this remote Island, and it's lifestyle.
Another great video, you are my favorite sailing channel. Your editing and narratives are wonderful.
This was awesome, one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing
I love this couple aside for adventure they help also people in this remote island. Keep the good work guys 🙏
Absolutely LOVE your videos! :)
Wow! it’s so remote. Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!
How many of you have dreams? Are they just dreams or are your pursuing them? These two and many like them are the reason why I'm studying for my captain license. This world is filled with so many amazing people. I'm reminded of Anthony Bourdain and his shows. He showed us if we just sit down and break bread with someone it can change things. Yes we are a planet of my different people, cultures, races and and religions but yet in the end we are all human. I hope someday we can drop all the bs and realize we all should just live together. We have to try to get along on this little blue rock floating through the universe. Until then choose to see all of humility first and will do my part one person at a time. Enjoy your Sunday.
Another beautifully crafted short movie. What an interesting island! I can’t imagine growing up there and living life. I bet internet access has had an impact there. Thank you again for sharing all your hard work!
Love my Sunday escapes...thanks so much for sharing!
Loved this laid back exploration into a beautiful village and a beautiful way of life. Good luck in those strong winds 🌬️🌬️⚓
Outstanding. I normally do not comment on your very professional videos, but this one and the story of the people is fabulous.
So awesome you made it to Palmerston. My stay in 1984 is at the top of my list of best island visits ever.
I've been waiting patiently for this video. I love the way you showcase the cooks and the culture. I can't wait for your next video! Kia Manuia!
Terrific. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so happy when I get to watch another video from my favorite UA-camrs. Thank you so much.
Another Sunday morning spent with The Might Wynn’s. What a fascinating stop this time. Watch out for that falling fruit Jason 😀
Can’t wait for the next installment. Sail on⛵️
Loved this video. So peaceful.
Thanks for sharing... fascinating and totally joyous xxx
What a wonderful experience. So idyllic and inspirational as to caring for the environment.
As always, a top-notch job.
Short and sweet a nice rest with some more amazing People. You guys are the best visitors always.
Thanks for sharing great video love the island and people
Wow, when I read that it is customary to bring some items to this island, I did not expect it to be something like a huge printer. The way the wiki explains it, it seemed like simple postal mail.
And very cool that you visited this place. When I saw that it was on your route, I was excited to see what you would see there.
Excellent as usual!!!
