First vid of 2021, thanks for being a part of it with us! In this crazy, uncertain, and movement restricted world, it’s important to take delight and pleasure in our daily lives as much as the adventures. For those looking for information/vids on our solar and off-grid setup, you will find that here: www.gonewiththewynns.com/living-off-grid-rv-sailboat Also, wanted to take a moment to answer a couple of the most common questions. 🤗 ❔ “I’m curious how long were you able to stay underwater before you left the islands? And now, how long are you able to stay under?” 🗨2 min was our average before leaving the boat. Now, we’re out of practice and 1:15 is our best. Recipe for the smoothie 🍨: Shredded coconut, banana, papaya, pineapple, frozen coconut cream, ginger, cinnamon, cacao powder, water. ❔“Why aren’t you collecting rainwater” 🗨We are! That’s what the buckets on the transom are for. 😎 ❔ “Try JB weld on the cracked stanchion” 🗨the steel stick we mentioned is a JB weld product
A few of the countries are putting restrictions back. Panama last I had heard had tightened up, full curfews, and other restrictions. I wish they would get the vaccinations out a little more smoothly but the Pfizer Vaccine with its temp profile is ridiculous .
How do you guys navigate and travel during Covid?? What’s the plan/startegy? Is it now super slow, changing countries every 1-2 months instead a couple of days here and there? This would be an interesting topic for people planning to leave their country for more freedom on the ocean. I’m just not sure HOW MUCH more freedom you have on a boat vs. on land. Some insight would be awesome! Thanks and keep doing what u guys are doin.
You should buy as many galvanized hose clamps as you can get the next time you are somewhere with them. For things like the cracked railing base, if you tighten a galvanized hose clamp around it, and then use steel stick or similar, it gives it a lot more strength and helps prevent additional cracking. We always had 20-30 on our charter fishing boats (day craft) and they came in handy for anything that a zip-tie wasn't capable of.
Stanchion base Fix: use a hose clamp to hold it together. Not pretty, but will prevent it from getting worse. And might hold better if you fall against it.
Love the average day episode and the outtakes! I’m sure you have repaired the stanchion base already but if not, a hose clamp to cinch it back together and support the tube then some steel stick around that like you had mentioned should make for a pretty robust repair. ⛵️
never feel bad of the normal days content. it's fun and relaxing watching you two do anything and everything. you can just lay there for 3 hours and do absolutely nothing and I'd still enjoy it. Peace!! :)
Always simply the best..the pacing, the use of music, the story telling, the seemless transitions from one "chapter" of your day to the next...just so good from a video production standpoint. Very few people could make an average day in the middle of a blue lagoon as facinating and fun to watch as you two. You put in the work and many of us see it...I mean a shot from way above with you both floating in the water below..that is just showing off, and I loved every second of it. Thank you as always!
I still loved it. A day in the life. No rush to go anywhere. No impending storm. No entry exit red tape hassles ! No major breakdowns. Love you both. Thanks for sharing.
My husband and I enjoy your videos, even this one. Our desire is to live our retirement years on a boat. We have learn so much from you. Thanks for taking time out and sharing some of your daily routine.
First time poster: Thank you Jason and Nikki for sharing so much of your lives with us. I have to say, this is the first video where I have really felt the absence of Cleo and Singa.
That was really cool tagging along with you guys. As a bonus, I had to pause the video because my dinner was ready and when I sat back down and hit play you guys were sitting down for your dinner. That was super cool. It's kind of felt like I was across the table from you having dinner! Cheers!
It's nice to see you back on the water, and into a routine day. We know that not every day is Island Paradise, Diving with the Sharks, or Tropical Sunsets and Sundowners. So, it's nice to see something that really reflects what those other days, the majority of the days, are like. The cleaning and polishing, the working on getting stuff working again, the routine, daily stuff you have to do onboard a boat.
your routine or even boring day is my dream that probably never came true. you guys are my favourite boat life channel now because your video always put a smile on my face. Keep it up and best luck to your adventures.
We have been following you since the RV days....THIS was one of our favorite episodes! You two are our inspiration for the life we are trying to get to. The adventure hiking etc is not what we see ourselves doing. Our daydream is exactly what you showed in this episode. We got to see what a real day in the real life of living aboard Curiosity would be like. And it was awesome.
@@gonewiththewynns Working on it! Our Christmas present to each other this year? Matching Curiosity crew t-shirts from your store and sailing lessons. Much love from the Tylers in Dallas.
I am a long-time lurker and just wanted to say how much I love your channel. I have watched since your RV days. I love it when you visit beautiful new places, but I have found your videos about repairing your ship the most interesting. I had no idea how much maintenance was needed, how quickly things deteriorate, or how hard it would be to replace items. These are things as a land lover I would have never considered. Keep up the great work and keep safe.
No NOT boring at all, so peaceful and beautiful. You guys are blessed. Really enjoy watching the trials and tribulations, all the Stuff that happenes good and not so good lol
Have you all thought about publishing a cookbook? Between your scrumptious meals, photography, and wonderful story, I think it would be a banging success! You could even take some of the profits to donate to one of the charities you all are so gracious to support. Think about it, I'd be the first to buy it!
I second that! We would love a Wynns Cookbook! Actually, scrap that, they should call it the Curiosity Cookbook as I am sure there are some rad ingredients in there!
Hey Jason and Nicki, consider a SS hose clamp on the cracked stanchion base. That will add a lot of strength without making welding at a later time a problem.
I came across your UA-cam channel purely chance. Having watched your wonderful video “Swimming with BABY WHALES in Tahiti” .... I was blown away by your enthusiasm and kindness to the whales. Your video has made my day ... I am delighted I have all day to binge watch the other videos. I’m sure they will be as delightful as the one I’ve watched earlier on😍
I do not understand your language, but the way of living and expressing yourself towards everyday life is really beautiful, therefore, it is not necessary to know the language, thank you for being so natural and showing your life that makes us happy from a distance
This was somehow one of the most relaxing videos I've seen of yours. Something about watching others go about their work / day is very soothing in this chaotic life.
Thanks for being back, you are not boring, you two are fun. You make an wonderful couple, I’m sure you have a barny or two, but you do compliment each other well. When the relationship wins you both win/wynn. How did you go with the Cyclone? Happy 2021, Warm regards The Portuguese Wallaby Down Under
We truly enjoyed seeing a day in the life of the Wynns! Your videos are always our favorites, and this is a great addition. We’d love to see more videos like this! Loved seeing what you eat, how you work, how you organize your videos... what a treat! Thank you for always being excellent! 😍
My favorite part was the bloopers at the end, I just LOVE seeing you guys getting back in the groove and the behind the scenes bc I KNOW THAT FEEL hahhahaa!! You guys continue to be awesome, soooo happy you're back on the water!
You two are the unstoppable team. It's the average boring days where sustaining relationship interaction happens. I commend you both for being mutually kind and respectful to each other, especially while under stress (that stress being heat, boredom and monotony).
The way you adapt to the local food availability amazes me. I do pretty much the same thing, though. Whatever Costco has on sale I make do with! Ha ha ha. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I tended to do the same when traveling somewhat extensively (though hotels and the like, going to local restaurants and street food for nourishment). Sadly with age came the food allergies...
These sorts of day-in-the-life videos from you two would probably garner much more interest than you might think. They are welcome diversions that don't come nearly often enough in today's crazy world.
Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year. Like #2 For you life is returning to normal. The rest of the world is STARTING to deal with the real pandemic of COVID. Hospitals are over capacity and we have many more months ahead. Please don't stop sharing "normal" I am not complaining. You are my sunshine. Thank you for giving us a break. Life will return to normal. You are my normal.
I love the “thats what she said” like jokes by Jason mid the conversations, Nice humor lol. And good you are back. My Sundays were getting boring here. ;)
You’re living the dream. Really enjoy the adventures, but also the way you two are with each other. You’re obviously such good friends first and foremost.
Boat light sounds oddly like RV like “there’s always so much to do” LOL I totally agree. But where I travel to I sure don’t have the salt water corrosion to deal with and I’m happy about that.
use 1.5 inch hose clamps, two of them stainless steel of course one above the set screw and one below . when my wife and i finally get our boat in the near future well hopefully see you out there. and ill be setting up my welding equipment on board . so ill keep my portable welding business a float lol. the more videos i see the more i see there needs to be a boat out there with welding onboard . stay safe an healthy love the videos
Hey Jack you still doing the RV thing? When I saw your name I said I know that guy. If you remember we were the 4th to do the smart car thing back in 06/07 Stay safe. Dennis
OMG. ... a while back, my parents gave our family a massive gift; Mexico. What I remember, or rather what YOU reminded me of; The tranquility in the am. Waking to warm breezes, and my first cup of coffee... There was a smell, a warm fragrance that was unmistakable, and unique to tropical areas. My first order of business, since we arrived at our home away from home in the dark... find a spot on a beach chair with a cup of coffee. Thank you for taking me back! It was a wonderful memory.
It is such a pleasure to spend a day with you two on Curiosity! Thank you for sharing your day with us all. Finding a sense of balance and peaceful daily normalcy may be challenging right now for so many of us, though perhaps the "trying" inspires us to really create the meaningful days that we will cherish most. Cheers to appreciating countless wonderments in 2021!
So happy to see you home and in your element. Love you two. Wow what a year. God bless you. Thanks for being a window to the world while we are still locked down. Your story elevates my day. Thank you!
Oh boy. How much I missed those videos. Much needed escape. Therapeutic getaway. So glad you guys are back at home. Back with your boat. And just for you to know: I really love these "normal boring boat life" videos. I really would love to always have on lined up if I have a bad day. 😉 Thanks so much guys. ♥️
Man I've missed you two. I have been cheating while you were gone and trying out other sailing channels, but none feel as comfortable as yours. As someone who is planning to buy a boat at some point and do this very thing, I loved this real look at the mundane. You have inspired me to book a sailing vacation this year on a Leopard Cat in the Caribbean to learn to sail and get a first hand look at it. Be safe, hold each other at night and know you are doing a great thing sharing this with all of us in quarantine. Headed to the tip jar again.
Thanks for sharing your lives. You guys are awesome! I can't believe all the hard work you put in to share with us. Some of those clips had to take 30 minutes or more of shooting just to get a few seconds for the edit. Thanks for the hardwork. :) Glad to see you are all back on the boat.
My newest and most favorite channel I just happened upon. How utterly lucky, you’ve made an Illinois girl so happy, especially the coconut part, must make quarantine coconut rice and curry! Very much look forward to your adventures. Very, very nice to meet you virtually! Be well!✌🏻😀✨
@@katemcpolin1121 yep. me too. but put some adhesive on it first (like JB weld) then wrap with a steel hose clamp. it's only got to last until the next maintenance port... less than 1 year.
Thank you for showing how you process coconuts!! I live in the Pacific and I sometimes buy canned coconut milk because I don't have the energy to process coconuts like the locals do. But using a blender is an amazing idea!
Agree, hose clamps or wide zip ties to keep it from splitting further. Except: tape it afterwards to protect your feet from sharp edges. If you use JB Weld, keep it off the upright or it’ll be tough to separate when replacing. PS-your Typical day looks more fun than our typical days, especially in winter! Thanks for sharing.
A day onboard the boat doing mundane boat chores beats a day catching the train and commuting the 9 to 5! After watching you scrub those stanchions (I have never tried baking soda!) ... I feel guilty enough to get up early and get onto ours ... which I have no excuse to have neglected the past year! SO GOOD to see you splashed and back in the water!
It makes me smile so big to see you back home 🌊⛵🌊 2020 was a challenge. 2021 is a time for hope and love. May each nautical mile you sail be blessed beyond your imagination. I'll be sailing with you from small town Indiana 💞
Hello Wynns. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind a little advice regarding stainless steel. That's what I do in life.... After you're done removing the rust, spray the stainless with a 5-10% mixture of citric acid & water. Citric acid is used in canning, so you should be able to find it at a grocery store. It usually comes in powder form, like your baking soda. It is non-toxic and can be flushed down the drain. At 10%, it is a little stingy on the skin, so wear gloves and keep it out of your eyes. It washes off easily with water. You must keep the citric solution moist for 20-30 minutes, don't let it dry out. Then just rinse with fresh water. It's not the end of the world if it does dry out. It will just leave spots. Just reapply and keep wet or rinse well with fresh water and they will go away. Drying out just causes it to stop working. What this does is passivate the SS. Passivation creates a protective microfilm coating on the surface. The process will actually remove rust, but that is easiest and best done in a bath. Anyway, passivation will keep the SS from rusting. It is not permanent, so you will have to redo it from time to time. Also, to keep SS from rusting, don't ever use cloth or tools of any kind that have come in contact with carbon steel, or plain steel. This will definitely cause rust to form.
What a great episode, I mean they’re all great, but what a great episode. You created and shared an intimate day in the life of the Wynns, with SV Curiosity waking up, planing your day and just doing the things that are part of your everyday life. A real behind the curtain episode. It never would have dawned on me that you couldn’t just jump back into cruising life at the snap of a finger after a year but pretty much a duh moment once you said it. Keep up the adventure and thank you for bringing us along
Just rewatched your Marquesas video where you had the allergic reaction to taro leaves. I live in Hawaii and yes, many people have elevated reaction to certain taro leaves though never seen one as bad as what you had. You also said that you may be allergic to mango skins. That's also a common thing here but it is not the skin of the mango. It is the mango sap that causes a reaction. As long as you don't touch the sap, you'll be ok.
You literally read my mind. My only add on was dealing with the galvanic corrosion between the 2 metals. Put a piece of rubber or plastic between the clamp and the stanchion base.
@@marioreali5925 I wasn't 100% sure the stanchion base was made of stainless steel thus my galvanic corrosion comment. The stainless they do have seems to rust. :-/
LOL... I've seen 'em all, but I'd rate this one of the best. It was relaxing kind of like Andy and Barney sitting on the front porch, making homemade ice cream, drinking a coke and strumming on the guitar. Thank you!
Very relaxing day watching both of you do your normal routine. Takes very special couple to be with each other 24/7 in such a small space. You both work and play hard. Thank you for the great videos. Glad to see your subscribers increasing!

Not boring at all. I really enjoyed seeing your daily routine.
to see a few videos on just the day to day living on the boat would be great, as most of us are trying to envision that for ourselves,
I still loved it. A day in the life. No rush to go anywhere. No impending storm. No entry exit red tape hassles ! No major breakdowns. Love you both. Thanks for sharing.
Got to say I love the addition of the outtakes and some of the natural chemistry that you two have.
For me, the gloomy twilight with Nikki cooking in warm cozy cabin light is an even better ambiance than a colorful sunset.
Glad you are back, Sundays are not the same without you!
My husband and I enjoy your videos, even this one. Our desire is to live our retirement years on a boat. We have learn so much from you. Thanks for taking time out and sharing some of your daily routine.

I really want that rice recipe!
Amen to that! I’d love it!!

Hey Jason and Nicki, consider a SS hose clamp on the cracked stanchion base. That will add a lot of strength without making welding at a later time a problem.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha.
innuendo plus!
it will be awhile before Jason needs Pfizer's flagship product! He won't be at half-mast for awhile !!!

And just for you to know: I really love these "normal boring boat life" videos. I really would love to always have on lined up if I have a bad day. 😉 Thanks so much guys. ♥️
Gotta appreciate the fact coconut exists
you can use it for so many things from curry to tembleque. Thai coconut curry hits the spot
Man I've missed you two. I have been cheating while you were gone and trying out other sailing channels, but none feel as comfortable as yours. As someone who is planning to buy a boat at some point and do this very thing, I loved this real look at the mundane. You have inspired me to book a sailing vacation this year on a Leopard Cat in the Caribbean to learn to sail and get a first hand look at it. Be safe, hold each other at night and know you are doing a great thing sharing this with all of us in quarantine. Headed to the tip jar again.
Thanks for sharing your lives. You guys are awesome! I can't believe all the hard work you put in to share with us. Some of those clips had to take 30 minutes or more of shooting just to get a few seconds for the edit. Thanks for the hardwork. :) Glad to see you are all back on the boat.
My newest and most favorite channel I just happened upon. How utterly lucky, you’ve made an Illinois girl so happy, especially the coconut part, must make quarantine coconut rice and curry! Very much look forward to your adventures. Very, very nice to meet you virtually! Be well!✌🏻😀✨
Believe it or not, this is what we want to see. So many WOW videos online, you get a hunger for just plain normal... something 2020 wasn't.
and still very entertaining :D
Totally agree Mark
So glad to he watching Curiosity videos again! Ive missed this alot! Thanks!
put a clamp around it keep it from breaking off completely
Came here to suggest that! 😁
@@katemcpolin1121 Me too !
Yep! Was gonna suggest a stainless steel hose clamp around the stanchion base.
Same..fhen wrap with something to keep anything from catching on it or getting cut.
@@katemcpolin1121 yep. me too. but put some adhesive on it first (like JB weld) then wrap with a steel hose clamp. it's only got to last until the next maintenance port... less than 1 year.
Thanks for sharing the off-cuts. They're hilarious. Great to see your chemistry/interaction. 👍❤🐈⛵
Glad to see life returning to some semblance of normalcy for y’all finally
I find myself sitting with a big smile on my face whenever I watch your videos. Your rapport as a couple and as best friends.
Glad your both back on water again and enjoying your morning coffee ☕️. While sailing ⛵️ sailboat ⛵️! 😘⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri
Thank you for showing how you process coconuts!! I live in the Pacific and I sometimes buy canned coconut milk because I don't have the energy to process coconuts like the locals do. But using a blender is an amazing idea!
i love the "slow tv" feeling in this episode. the broken railing you can reinforce with a hoseclamp
Yeah my first thought was stainless clamps to keep it together. You might get lucky with epoxy and clamps for a while.
thank you for your normal day post! Love you guys!!! You make my day
A lot of round broken things can be temp. repaired with a hose clamp
Agree, hose clamps or wide zip ties to keep it from splitting further. Except: tape it afterwards to protect your feet from sharp edges.
If you use JB Weld, keep it off the upright or it’ll be tough to separate when replacing.
PS-your Typical day looks more fun than our typical days, especially in winter! Thanks for sharing.
A day onboard the boat doing mundane boat chores beats a day catching the train and commuting the 9 to 5! After watching you scrub those stanchions (I have never tried baking soda!) ... I feel guilty enough to get up early and get onto ours ... which I have no excuse to have neglected the past year! SO GOOD to see you splashed and back in the water!
It makes me smile so big to see you back home 🌊⛵🌊 2020 was a challenge. 2021 is a time for hope and love. May each nautical mile you sail be blessed beyond your imagination. I'll be sailing with you from small town Indiana 💞
So happy for you to be back on the water! Thank you for the funny real life look into a normal boat day. Love your channel!
Yay. Love these type of films. You guys rock. Bloopers are just the icing on the cake. Please keep it up.
Hello Wynns. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
If you don't mind a little advice regarding stainless steel. That's what I do in life....
After you're done removing the rust, spray the stainless with a 5-10% mixture of citric acid & water. Citric acid is used in canning, so you should be able to find it at a grocery store. It usually comes in powder form, like your baking soda. It is non-toxic and can be flushed down the drain. At 10%, it is a little stingy on the skin, so wear gloves and keep it out of your eyes. It washes off easily with water.
You must keep the citric solution moist for 20-30 minutes, don't let it dry out. Then just rinse with fresh water.
It's not the end of the world if it does dry out. It will just leave spots. Just reapply and keep wet or rinse well with fresh water and they will go away. Drying out just causes it to stop working.
What this does is passivate the SS. Passivation creates a protective microfilm coating on the surface. The process will actually remove rust, but that is easiest and best done in a bath. Anyway, passivation will keep the SS from rusting. It is not permanent, so you will have to redo it from time to time.
Also, to keep SS from rusting, don't ever use cloth or tools of any kind that have come in contact with carbon steel, or plain steel. This will definitely cause rust to form.
It is so lovely to see you living your best life. Stay well, postive and hopeful. All the very best from London Landlubbers : - ) x
What a great episode, I mean they’re all great, but what a great episode.
You created and shared an intimate day in the life of the Wynns, with SV Curiosity waking up, planing your day and just doing the things that are part of your everyday life. A real behind the curtain episode.
It never would have dawned on me that you couldn’t just jump back into cruising life at the snap of a finger after a year but pretty much a duh moment once you said it. Keep up the adventure and thank you for bringing us along
I'm loving watching you guys !thank you!!!
Nice video, especially fun to watch after a crazy day. Thanks for all the effort putting it together and posting!
Just rewatched your Marquesas video where you had the allergic reaction to taro leaves. I live in Hawaii and yes, many people have elevated reaction to certain taro leaves though never seen one as bad as what you had. You also said that you may be allergic to mango skins. That's also a common thing here but it is not the skin of the mango. It is the mango sap that causes a reaction. As long as you don't touch the sap, you'll be ok.
Oh dear Gaud! at 45 seconds in, I'm slapping the thumbs up like ... Like ..I don't know, this was a new level of awesome!
I’d say for the Stanchion base a bandaid would be JB Weld and a hose clamp
You literally read my mind. My only add on was dealing with the galvanic corrosion between the 2 metals. Put a piece of rubber or plastic between the clamp and the stanchion base.
My thoughts exactly !
@@John_Be Good hose clamps are stainless
@@marioreali5925 I wasn't 100% sure the stanchion base was made of stainless steel thus my galvanic corrosion comment. The stainless they do have seems to rust. :-/
Yea it does look like cast aluminum, good point. I agree some stainless will rust. I'm surprised at how much rust the wheel had
LOL... I've seen 'em all, but I'd rate this one of the best. It was relaxing kind of like Andy and Barney sitting on the front porch, making homemade ice cream, drinking a coke and strumming on the guitar. Thank you!
YAY, more gone with the Wynns
Very relaxing day watching both of you do your normal routine. Takes very special couple to be with each other 24/7 in such a small space. You both work and play hard. Thank you for the great videos. Glad to see your subscribers increasing!
