I'm in Canada, but I grew up so intrigued with love for the Philippines. Throughout my life I have been surrounded by such nice and inviting Filipinos. From friends in elementary to high school, and with every job I have ever had. Due to this, I do know a little Tagalog. When I speak even a little Tagalog, they light up that I know anything in their language. Their joy brings me joy. Plus, the food is amazing as well. I hope to visit the Philippines one day!!
So, what do you think? Should we start turning CURIOSITY into an underwater wreck hunting ship? I bet we can get Jay to join in too. Good food and lost treasure...sounds like a good combo.

Absolutely, it would be such an adventure and I would love to tag along. I'm so excited just at the chance you might dip your toes into treasure hunting even if just for an episode.
OMG so so long since we are back to your roots!!! Woop woop woop....travel videos....gosh I have missed those so much and I did not realize how much. Because you filled the last two years with good content too. Been watching you guys since the RV days in the beginning. You help us dream bigger and give us the courage to go behind you later to places as we can. Peace and safe adventures. TY
Chico is also known as Níspero. Very popular in the Caribbean and Costal lands in South America. It is said that the nut can be liquified with the fruit as an alternative non invasive procedure to remove kidney stones. Glad to see a young entrepreneur so dedicated. God Bless her.
Nice to see Subic, I’ve been going there for 40 years, in the Navy, station dito in the 80s at Cubi. I’ve done many visits to Vascos and the Coastal terminal next door. Very nice lots of great memories.
I have a friend in DC who's father owned "National Geographic" when he was young. Jacques Cousteau used to be a frequent dinner guest at his house growing up.
I was in Barrio Baretto, Subic Bay last Sunday. Yesterday came back from a 5 days motorcycling to north Luzon and crossing the Cordillera. Still so much to see. Love the P.I.
You brought back some great memories. I was in Subic Bay in 1973. It was a Navy base back then. The people are so friendly I made a lot of friends there.
What a ridiculously cool place, and the guy curating this museum is definitely one of the most spectacular parts of the history here. There should be a docu-series done to tell the stories he has collected over the years he’s spent here uncovering sea-bed graveyards. This is why I loved getting to spend the years I have in Asia. These kind of people and places are just randomly scattered all over the place and waiting to be appreciated. Most of them will never be seen for what they are worth. Thanks for using the platform you guys have built to put this one “on the map” for us! …and then the second part of the video, definitely giving “Somebody Feed Phil” a run for the money! Well done!!
I am so happy you are back sailing! These are the episodes I love so much. So many channels going through the build process, I can only imagine the stress of it to be honest. Thanks for getting right back to it 😊
@@philgardiner445 The best “sailing” channels (for me) are those that mix sailing and discovering new places and cultures - and their previous couple episodes were sailing. Nothing but sailing becomes boring. ❤
Very cool episode. It’s great to have you both back on the water. Seeing the local markets and food is so interesting. Thanks for taking us along! Be safe and see you next week.
This is my favourite episode… Everything about it! The excitement you had from receiving your yacht …which looked so incredibly beautiful tied in the marina! ⚜️🩵🩵🩵⚜️
Here I was, just admiring your boat with no clue I was talking to sailing royalty. Nice to have met you in Subic! I was the 36 foot twin outboard parked next to you in Vascos and you told me the HH cats would now be built in Cebu. Safe sailing and hope to see you again on the water sometime!
So much to do in Subic. My wife (Filipina) enjoyed seeing the old market, where she has shopped many times. Our home is on the beach in Iba, 75 km north of Subic. The Filipino food is great. We are at our home in WA now. We left the Philippines a few days before you arrived in Subic. We have Lumpia in the freezer ready to eat whenever we want. When at home in Iba, I have 2 Mangoes each morning. Zambales mangoes are the best.
Yes, Philippine mangos (I call them Manila mangos) are the best in the world-I'm having one for breakfast today. As a nurse in San Francisco, California, I worked with many Filipinos nurses-with their beautiful smiles and their kind, generous nature, they're also the best people in the world. The market looked amazing. And, of course, thank you so much Nikki and Jason for showing us around-I love that you're under sail again.
While in the US Navy, we spent many months in Subic Bay (USS Tarawa LHA1 - ship repair facility). Also worked at Cubi Point Naval Air Station (temporary assigned duty). My experiences all happened in the late 1970s. Would love a tour of the whole place to see how it’s changed. The Philippines and its people are wonderful. We always made a point of getting out of Olongapo and traveling out into the countryside. You’ll enjoy your stay. 👍😎
I LOVED THIS EPISODE!! I thought your local tour guides gave some extra interesting perspective to the video. Love how seamlessly done it is! Fav youtube channel BY FAR!!! ❤
As a licensed Merchant Marine officer, we frequented Subic Bay often, replenishing our US Navy ships. Crime at that time was quite high, yet going ashore at night with multiple crew members eased our tension. Love this episode, amazing cinematography, thanks for sharing.
I would like to say that I have been following you guys every since you were in the RV. I am retired and living here in the Philippines. I am now in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental. While in the US Navy I was stationed in Subic twice. I lived there for 6 years. It is a wonderful place.
Glad you got to explore Olongapo! Virginia Beach's sister city! The markets are always so amazing to me - when I was last in the PI (different part), we got up at 4:00 AM to make sure we got what we wanted from the market. Looking forward to see more of Curiosity sailing and your explorations there!
I just have to chime in with the rest of the commenters!!! SSSSSsssoooo good to see your best content again!! Thank you for teaching us the build process and A GREAT BIG THANK YOU for bringing us back to regularly scheduled programming; adventures and cultures!!! Great video!
This is what I've been missing on your channel! A great vibe with the locals and a HEAP of information all crammed into one, short video. Even the little things like Jason describing the motorbike taxis 🤙🏽
It was in 1980 when last in the Philippines. The USS Virginia CGN 38. The first East Coast ship to go to Subic Bay then into a floating Dry Dock since the Vietnam War days, Left out of Clark AFB to get discharged from the Navy after 4 years. I'm very much thinking of relocating to the Philippines. Love the Great content. Happy The Boats not had any major issues. God Bless.
The Wynns’ settling into their groove utterly charms this watcher. It is so enjoyable to see and experience a small slice of Filipino life. Thank you for sharing. I so appreciate the positive you inject into this world. 👏 Way to go Nikki, Jason, and crew!
I’ve been thinking about you and RR2 this week. My husband and I are in Mexico on a beautiful beach where many large catamarans bring tourists to spend a few hours. When I see the boats, I marvel how large and graceful they are. It would be fun to see your turquoise hull sail round the bend but I know that you’re on the other side of the world and that wouldn’t be possible.
I had the pleasure of growing up here with Brian’s son. This place holds the best memories of my life. Brian is such a cool and amazing person, he taught me how to play billiards. I have a huge scar on my knee from slipping on wet concrete there 😅. Used to play hide and seek in the museum and have sleepovers in the rooms. I love this episode so much.
What a great episode! Guys, The Philippines has soooo much to offer... It's more than sunken ships and treasures...You've captured that in these shots... I've spent some time there and enjoyed each moment (even the frustrating ones, haha)... Love that you're back out and about with Cat in tow... Take care and...enjoy!!! 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍
Great video! It is so fun being “introduced” to the people you meet. I am so glad you are exploring via sailing again, you both looked so happy in this video!
@@billstephens396 am no vet but it was so eventful for me. I was there a couple of days before that erruption. I was taking an exam. You might be an instructor.
❤ Subic Bay Philippine, Islands. That was my second home from January 1966 until July 1968. US Navy/flight deck/USS enterprise. I love the philippine Island and people.
Jay looks like an amazing host and tour guide. She dabbles in so many areas. What a driven young lady. Great job this week Nikki and Jason. This was very entertaining to watch.
Great to see Brian at Vascos looking so well as we stayed there last year and often shared a table for beers in the evening. Having sailed there from Vietnam twice now I can attest to the safety and facilities available in Subic Bay. When buying pineapples at Olongopo market the ladies will peel and cut them up for you.
1977, wow, I was diving all over California & Hawaii working in the dive industry. I'm amazed i didn't hear of this discovery. It must have been kept under wraps. Otherwise, a gold rush would have ensued. The US diver mark 5 doubled hose regulator was dated in 77. We were using single hose by then. In 77, I was 24. I went and saw Jacques-Yves Cousteau on the Berkeley campus around 74. I worked in a dive shop owned by AL Giddings Sylvia you mentioned also would come through. I had a conversation with JFK Jr. Who also hung out with AL. AL developed the first underwater 70mm camera that he filmed the movie The Deep. Cheers from Northern California!!!
The idea of a series dedicated to uncovering lost treasures would be surely intriguing. And speaking of treasures, in the realm of mangoes, Alphonso mangoes in my opinion reign supreme.
Manila mango or Carabao mango still holds the Guinness Book of World Records to be the sweetest variety of mango. I am not sure if that one in the video from Zambales is the same.
You guuuuysss 😭😭😭 I'm not even done with the video and I'm already just obsessed. I've scoured YT for videos of sailors in the Philippines, not to mention a few people have been there recently and made new videos. But this is the best one so far, hands down! I'm so glad you made it there, can't wait to finish this and binge the rest. ❤❤❤
Damn, that is one nice boat. I can't believe it's finally here, and you're onboard, and the journey is once again underway. Been subbed since the solar A/C build in the motorhome.
This was the perfect video right back in your wheelhouse. Your new boat is absolutely fantastic. You documentented it perfectly all the while showing us what was going on around you. A couple weeks of boat tours and right back to travel log videos. Perfect. You guys are the best.
Great show, Wynns! And if you guys are doing your own editing: Wow! Can't wait to see all the places you're gonna take us in that sexy, new Curiosity II.
Such a beautiful place to be staying on the new boat!!! Congrats on the next chapter of your adventures. I enjoy your videos and look forward every week to the next one.
I have been watching you both for years and this new boat is amazing. Congratulations and thank you for influencing those of us to take the leap and get into enjoying the ocean again!
Been watching your content since you've had the RV. I'm from a small city here in the Philippines. I hope you'll be able to explore the Philippines, not just in the usual tourist destinations but also the unpopular destinations. Dumaguete, Iloilo City, Sipalay (in Negros Island), Guimaras, and Siquior and so much more. There's so much than just Subic and Palawan.
im Filipina Watching in HongKong We are Your regular viewers also boater/wake surfer here. we started watching You long time on youtube big TV screen thats why i dont usually comment. Now i have to watch again on phone so i can comment since You are in my country. We watched this episode already months ago. I just came back watch & comment as i found out & learn something useful.. We were updated since your old boat videos from the day You departed US land/water to South America & pacific islands to New Zealand & all islands trips then covid & to new boat and wow im amazed with how Australian came to do that with their ph under water discoveries. im with Australian friends here too. They plan to bring boats from HK to Central Ph and the expert suggest to get into Subic bay area as first stop arriving ph. Good to know there are good stuff there. Been there maybe 20yrs ago Subic was not crowded.. a very nice place but cant remember where. It was school trip from Manila. Hope to see you here when You come Back HK ether with Your beautiful boat or You buy some boat gear again. Cheers
Great episode. What a wonderful market! So good to have such a great local guide! I want to carry get off into the sunset, she's such a vivacious personality. Surprised you've never seen red onions before. They are a cooking and salad staple in Australia.
Brian is a real character! This is amazing, the whole of the area is just incredible & this is right in the Curiosity "wheelhouse"! Well done you folks, this series will be nuts! ✌️👏
Australian here with a Filipino step mum, & with Filipino workers in our nursery. Absolutely adored this episode getting to see the culture my family & friends came from. Loved everything about this episode.
I think you two have found Nirvana. Your exploration of China was fascinating and now that you are back on your boat (and WOW) you are honestly living life to the fullest. I can't wait for the next episode.
In the mid '70s I was flying off the USS Midway and we would only occasionally put into the Philippines at Subic Bay. We would also fly into Cubi Point on a cross-country out of Japan. It is so nice to see the area again after so many years. Much happier to see Olongapo take on a much better look! It was sad for me to see in those days. While in port there, my roommate, who was an experienced sailor, asked me if I wanted to go sailing. I had always been a power boater on my Dad's boats, so I said I'd like to learn how. We rented a little 14' Capri from Special Services on base and went sailing around Subic Bay. There was so little there at the time which added to our enjoyment. Just a lot of jungle overhanging the light sand beaches. But the weather was perfect and sailing made boating so enjoyable! Both my friend and I bought sailboats after we retired from the Marines! And for me, it all began here in Subic Bay! Instead of getting the whole list of wrecks, you should have asked for just one wreck to dive on! That's at least two great episodes!
Currently living in Davao- If you have a chance.....try mangosteens Amazingly delicious fruit, super delicious actually, and as addictive as crack. Did I say delicious? Interesting, leathery exterior (but easy to open), with a garlic clove shape fruit that is a combination of slightly tart and very sweet and melts in your mouth. Yum
We were stationed in Subic back in the 80s. Right after the strike. Our son was born there. We shopped at that market and lived in Olongapo for a time. It was cool to see it now.
I really enjoy this video,interesting people you introduced us to.I can’t imagine looking for ship wrecks and then find treasures. Incredible. What an amazing young woman so talented and seem like a lovely person. Looking forward to more adventures.stay safe and healthy 💕
Fantastic to see you back exploring. The markets are certainly ground zero to get the flavors of any culture. Can you imagine how the markets would operate without plastic bags?
Filipinos are divided between Guimaras and Zambales mangoes, generally. I prefer the Zambales ones but Guimaras birthed the mango pizza which I hope you’d get to try if you find yourself in the Visayas region. Enjoy PH!
My wife is from Morong Bataan just south of where you guys are at. I don’t know how many times we passed that Marina. I had no idea there was a museum there. I miss the Philippines! My brother is still there. I’m land locked here in the USA. I wished I could go back. My two daughters and granddaughter just came back from there a couple months ago. Thank you for sharing guys, I love it.
I’ve known Brian for more than 30 years. He is a fixture around the area and a wealth of knowledge. A little older now, like all of us, but he still looks to be doing well.
I'm in Canada, but I grew up so intrigued with love for the Philippines. Throughout my life I have been surrounded by such nice and inviting Filipinos. From friends in elementary to high school, and with every job I have ever had. Due to this, I do know a little Tagalog.

Love AG1 it’s been a month and I am feeling much better 😊
I don’t think you’d be happy for long doing that.
I would love to see some cooking shows onboard with Jay
Jay could combine her loves
AG1 sucks!

AGREE!!! It was ssssooo nice to see a full travel video! They are so good at showing off a local find!!
❤ The new boat home looks marvelous. Happy 🎉🎉
I love it when they deep dive a location. Figuratively not literally
❤ Sweet
Chico is also known as Níspero. Very popular in the Caribbean and Costal lands in South America. It is said that the nut can be liquified with the fruit as an alternative non invasive procedure to remove kidney stones. Glad to see a young entrepreneur so dedicated. God Bless her.
Nice to see Subic, I’ve been going there for 40 years, in the Navy, station dito in the 80s at Cubi. I’ve done many visits to Vascos and the Coastal terminal next door. Very nice lots of great memories.
My ship was always at the ammo pier on the other side of Cubi point. I haven't been back since 1984. Maybe when I retire I will visit again.
It's certainly changed a lot since I was last there in 1968! I would love to go back, it's so beautiful!
I have a friend in DC who's father owned "National Geographic" when he was young. Jacques Cousteau used to be a frequent dinner guest at his house growing up.
I was in Barrio Baretto, Subic Bay last Sunday. Yesterday came back from a 5 days motorcycling to north Luzon and crossing the Cordillera.
Still so much to see. Love the P.I.
You brought back some great memories. I was in Subic Bay in 1973. It was a Navy base back then. The people are so friendly I made a lot of friends there.
I was there in 73 -76 too. USS Marvin Shields
What a ridiculously cool place, and the guy curating this museum is definitely one of the most spectacular parts of the history here. There should be a docu-series done to tell the stories he has collected over the years he’s spent here uncovering sea-bed graveyards. This is why I loved getting to spend the years I have in Asia. These kind of people and places are just randomly scattered all over the place and waiting to be appreciated. Most of them will never be seen for what they are worth. Thanks for using the platform you guys have built to put this one “on the map” for us!
…and then the second part of the video, definitely giving “Somebody Feed Phil” a run for the money! Well done!!

Everything about it!
The excitement you had from receiving your yacht …which looked so incredibly beautiful tied in the marina!

For a Projector for movies, take a look at the New LG Cine Beam Q. It’s soo small and compact but has a 4K resolution and auto screen adjustment.

Great introduction to the culture of the Philippines. I also love food. Cooking and eating. What could be better!
Great video! It is so fun being “introduced” to the people you meet. I am so glad you are exploring via sailing again, you both looked so happy in this video!
I was stationed at Subic Bay while I was in the Navy back in 1991. I loved it there.
Were you one of the last guys before the eruption?
From a vet to a vet, I might poke fun at your choice of branch, but you will always have my respect.

What an exciting episode! The energy was off the hook!
Great seeing y’all enjoying your boat AND the fabulous locations. Good to have you back on the water!

Oh my. Them's fighting words. Time for a mango standoff then? 😋
It's sounds great. I've only seen the "Real" ones on generic streaming channels.
Manila mango or Carabao mango still holds the Guinness Book of World Records to be the sweetest variety of mango. I am not sure if that one in the video from Zambales is the same.
Did you try Coconut Crem mango ? They have in in Pine Island Florida. And many others
No! Manila mango is the gold standard.
I wait for this every Sunday morning so nice to have you back on the water and in your new home 😊😊😊😊😊
Oh, I remember Subic Bay and Olongapo City. I spent a couple weeks there during my Navy days.
So glad you're back to making this kind of video! Thanks. Safe travels. ❤
Kids, you have no idea how much I love you both. Thank you so much for your great videos.
Coron has the best wreck dives in the Philippines. I'm determined to make it back there again.

Such a beautiful place to be staying on the new boat!!! Congrats on the next chapter of your adventures. I enjoy your videos and look forward every week to the next one.
Yayyyyy! I am so happy you are exploring Philippines…finally!❤
More local guides!! They are the KEY to success in EVERY Destination!!! 💯

OMG! ive been watching you since 2019 and now you're in our Country. WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES! 😍😍
im Filipina Watching in HongKong We are Your regular viewers also boater/wake surfer here. we started watching You long time on youtube big TV screen thats why i dont usually comment. Now i have to watch again on phone so i can comment since You are in my country. We watched this episode already months ago. I just came back watch & comment as i found out & learn something useful.. We were updated since your old boat videos from the day You departed US land/water to South America & pacific islands to New Zealand & all islands trips then covid & to new boat and wow im amazed with how Australian came to do that with their ph under water discoveries. im with Australian friends here too. They plan to bring boats from HK to Central Ph and the expert suggest to get into Subic bay area as first stop arriving ph. Good to know there are good stuff there. Been there maybe 20yrs ago Subic was not crowded.. a very nice place but cant remember where. It was school trip from Manila.
Hope to see you here when You come Back HK ether with Your beautiful boat or You buy some boat gear again. Cheers
Great episode.
What a wonderful market! So good to have such a great local guide! I want to carry get off into the sunset, she's such a vivacious personality.
Surprised you've never seen red onions before. They are a cooking and salad staple in Australia.
Brian is a real character! This is amazing, the whole of the area is just incredible & this is right in the Curiosity "wheelhouse"! Well done you folks, this series will be nuts! ✌️👏
What an amazing start to your new adventures!
Enjoyed your latest adventure and editing skills on your beautiful new home!
After watching you for years, I’m so very happy to see you finally setting sail in my country the PH 🇵🇭
Australian here with a Filipino step mum, & with Filipino workers in our nursery. Absolutely adored this episode getting to see the culture my family & friends came from.
Loved everything about this episode.
What fun! Will enjoy what is to come! Go for it!!
I think you two have found Nirvana. Your exploration of China was fascinating and now that you are back on your boat (and WOW) you are honestly living life to the fullest. I can't wait for the next episode.
You two are great vlog hosts! Enjoyed your Philippine episodes a lot.
Sundays are awesome again
In the mid '70s I was flying off the USS Midway and we would only occasionally put into the Philippines at Subic Bay. We would also fly into Cubi Point on a cross-country out of Japan. It is so nice to see the area again after so many years. Much happier to see Olongapo take on a much better look! It was sad for me to see in those days. While in port there, my roommate, who was an experienced sailor, asked me if I wanted to go sailing. I had always been a power boater on my Dad's boats, so I said I'd like to learn how. We rented a little 14' Capri from Special Services on base and went sailing around Subic Bay. There was so little there at the time which added to our enjoyment. Just a lot of jungle overhanging the light sand beaches. But the weather was perfect and sailing made boating so enjoyable! Both my friend and I bought sailboats after we retired from the Marines! And for me, it all began here in Subic Bay!
Instead of getting the whole list of wrecks, you should have asked for just one wreck to dive on! That's at least two great episodes!
We had those brown fruit in Miami.Fl. as a kid growing up. We called them Sugar Apples. Loved them.
Careful! The Travel Channel is going to come knocking! You guys are so much fun and your production / cinematography is terrific as usual!
Currently living in Davao-
If you have a chance.....try mangosteens
Amazingly delicious fruit, super delicious actually, and as addictive as crack. Did I say delicious?
Interesting, leathery exterior (but easy to open), with a garlic clove shape fruit that is a combination of slightly tart and very sweet and melts in your mouth.
Yum
We were stationed in Subic back in the 80s. Right after the strike. Our son was born there. We shopped at that market and lived in Olongapo for a time. It was cool to see it now.
Always something new and interesting in your vids! Thank’s for bringing me along to all these extra ordinarie places and people!
Oh my belly! What a fun treat! Looks like you bought a ton food! Enjoy your company! Yes to treasure diving!!!!❤
OMG Guys…..seriously….the whole Vasko’s segment - what a treat - TY!!!
I really enjoy this video,interesting people you introduced us to.I can’t imagine looking for ship wrecks and then find treasures. Incredible.
What an amazing young woman so talented and seem like a lovely person.
Looking forward to more adventures.stay safe and healthy 💕
Fantastic to see you back exploring. The markets are certainly ground zero to get the flavors of any culture. Can you imagine how the markets would operate without plastic bags?
Filipinos are divided between Guimaras and Zambales mangoes, generally. I prefer the Zambales ones but Guimaras birthed the mango pizza which I hope you’d get to try if you find yourself in the Visayas region.
Enjoy PH!
The Filipino people are THE BEST! So welcoming! We loved our time in the Philipinnes
Such a great video!!! That museum (and the man who filled it with treasure) is such a hidden gem and such a cool find in itself. Makes me want to go.
Welcome to the PH guys! I hope you enjoy it here. You can also sail to Palawan or down in Mindanao if you have time!
You two are living the life! Good for you. I love all the videos you put out. Very fun watching you young people enjoy life one day at a time. Peace.
🥰 back to exploring.. Lead on ❤
My wife is from Morong Bataan just south of where you guys are at. I don’t know how many times we passed that Marina. I had no idea there was a museum there. I miss the Philippines! My brother is still there. I’m land locked here in the USA. I wished I could go back. My two daughters and granddaughter just came back from there a couple months ago. Thank you for sharing guys, I love it.
Way cool. Chris' uncle discovered and documented a wreck off Ft. Lauderdale.
I’ve known Brian for more than 30 years. He is a fixture around the area and a wealth of knowledge. A little older now, like all of us, but he still looks to be doing well.
so glad I waited 2 long years for this, at last some travel with the Wynns
