    WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity.
    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.
    Things We're Most Curious About...
    GETTING OFF-GRID
    Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
    TALKING TO STRANGERS
    People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment.
    Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving.
    ALTERNATIVE LIVING
    These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community.
    Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

      They make it so complicated because they need an easy way to shut down sailors that cause problems. If your out on the open water, just know that we live in a very small world. An American being rude to a waiter while in another part of the world can start the process of shutting you down. You will start to notice yourself getting cancelled. The best way to steer clear of any problems is not drink alcohol while out in public and be nice to everyone even if they are being rude to you. Always keep your phone on you, and know the recorders are always on. If you need to drink alcohol only do it while on your vessel. Otherwise, people need to remember that most people are not going to be happy that your a wealthy American with a yacht or boat.

    • @ckeilah
      @ckeilah 23 дні тому +6

      If they were REASONABLE taxes, no one would bother dodging them. How is it reasonable to tax someone $100,000 on a boat that has never even been to your government’s territorial waters?!? Just because the people who own the boat still call Texas our “home port” doesn’t mean the boat has to call it home. Taxes are supposed to fund benefits for people in the locality that does the taxing. Curiosity may never end its entire existence be within sight of USA or Texan waters.
      Anyway, I don’t know why I’m trying to bother to explain reality to someone on the Internet. Have a nice life. 😝 I shall go sailing in Texas! ⛵️🌅

      ​​@@ckeilahI would kind of agree with you if they registered it in a place they do sail but thry haven't even been to the Marshall Islands. It's a tax dodge, plain and simple. You can think that's a good thing if you want but if we hold others to tax-dodging rebuke, we should hold everyone accountable. Everything else is just cope. Be well.

    • @JeremeyHowlett

      Every action has consequences. Sure they might be saving money, but now their vessel is registered to a country that has a government that will more than likely never respond to them if they need help. Again, all the laws are complicated and put into place as a way of ultimately having control over one’s property if they break laws, cause problems, and so on. People need to be very careful, all the people that control the waters are sitting at home, many are watching as everyone is living their dream of sailing the world. Something they can never afford. You don’t want to get cancelled because you were drunk in public or rude to a shitty waiter.

      Because not many new foreign boat builds. Most people buy a boat already built and registered. VERY few people face this, including most people buying sailboats. When you go to a boat show or a dealer and buy a boat it’s already registered. As soon as that boat comes into the country to a dealer or to a boat show all of that has been done. For most people, the question is not what country to register the boat but what state.
      John Kerry got busted for this because he has a yacht that he keeps registered in a different state to avoid paying sales taxes. It’s also in another state that has lower insurance and lower annual property taxes. But of course he wants your tax dollars to pay for a war that’s not needed that America started in Ukraine and lots of other bullshit!
      Typical liberal hypocrisy. They will avoid taxes anyway they can but they want you to be taxed to pay for all the crap that they like.

    The other factor to consider is that many insurers are dropping multihulls altogether as they trim their risk profiles in response to extreme weather events etc. We asked five insurers for quotes on multihulls insurance and only one even replied, and even the previous insurer of the boat was happy to get it off their books despite us having no claims ever. So getting a flag that increases your chances of even getting insurance is a really big deal!!!

      Bikini is the name of the home port. A country may have many different ports. Often the port name is the same as a city near the port. A USA boat will show Boston, or San Francisco, or Miami, etc, and doesn't show USA. They will fly a USA flag to show country of registry, not print the country name on the transom.

    Very interesting. As a land based creature, I am curious to know how much insurance costs (rough range is fine) and what does it cover?
    My wife and I retired. In an abundance of caution, we got our home owners insurance reviewed and ensured we had replacement value coverage. Home is the bulk of our net worth and now retired it was essential we did not lose it. OMG, was that a good move. My next door neighbor replaced their home with a bigger one. In the process they managed to mess up our property. Our insurance has been working for 5 years and $millions to fix it. The replacement value rider forced them to restore even though it was a tough job. Whew!

    Looking good Eugene! 😉 We're registered to the Marshall Islands as well - people either get a giggle and think it's a joke when they see the home port is Bikini or they think the boat name is "Liger Bikini". The register themselves have been excellent to work with, we go through the Swiss office and they've been extremely helpful.

    That was extremely interesting. I do not own a boat and will never own a boat but the issues of insurance and taxation can affect so much if you do. I think people make the mistake of thinking you can buy a boat and go anywhere you want. Just watching over the years as you have travelled into foreign countries has certainly opened my eyes that people who do can't just go anywhere they want without the proper permits or paying the fees and getting permission to do so. Thanks for taking us along and sharing the information.

    Thanks for the info! Super helpful; I always wondered how that worked. I would LOVE an episode on your electronics setup (eg B&G, Autopilots, AIS, Radar, VHFs, Jason’s big screen at the nav desk, etc)… so many choices it would be great to see how you made your choices and how it all is integrated (or not).

    Interesting about insurance, isnt it? Almost like you have to get insurance on your insurance! I mean! Tax and twist the short hairs, they got us! Lol. Btw..I am old sailor and follow several channels for my "fix" of the sea. I want to say, of all the new builds, refurbs and such these last months, yours has appeared to be the most sucessful and "undramatic"! I also think you have chosen the perfect vessel, it's beautiful and functional w/o the complexities that require an engineer on board. You done good!!! 😊 😅

    Dear Nikki and Jason, just watched to the end, because you, as always, made it fun, interesting and very much “alive” - even though the subject was difficult to make very interesting. I am not in this process, nor do I have any future plans to do so, as a Dane, I would register in Denmark at all times.

    Thank you Nikky & Jason, another great video this week about maritime laws registration boat with terms that depend on the business and the seas you are traveling to. You made this report video interestingly enough without loosing yourself in legalese details. Sailing is not easy and living on a catamaran is really special. Cruising lifestyle is much more than a dream....

    I really enjoyed this. I've often wondered if y'all would do some 'How-Tos' for regular stuff around the boat like how to tack with a jib, or when to deploy the spinnaker, or how to maintain cell phones (eSim/iSim) and comms, etc, etc. Jason does a great job with explaining all the broken/fixit stuff, but with this new vessel, fingers crossed, there won't be too much of that stuff...so a how-to like this is FANtastic. Thx for all you do, showing us noobs & groms the way.
    Jason got the dishwasher, I think Nikki needs another cat 🐈 😊 or some sorta liveaboard mascot, which is very good for the algorithm, right ;)
