- We've finally found the perfect sport for boat life. Pole dancing. I’m ashamed I haven’t thought of it until now because it could be the ultimate secret to mastering mast work.

#Sailing #BoatLife
WHO ARE WE?
We’re Jason and Nikki Wynn. We have been living #OffTheGrid and exploring the world for 10 years.
Our first six years of #travel were an epic road trip around North America.
Now we’re on a sailing voyage about the world. Did we have any previous sailing experience, of course not!
Neither of us is overly talented, smart, rich, lucky, or retired. But that doesn’t stop us from reaching far-flung destinations, having wild adventures, and managing everything that makes living aboard a moving vessel possible.
We’re two ordinary people that just so happen to live an extraordinary life.
And this is why we publish our lives on the world wide web. We share in hopes of inspiring you to find your adventure.

Okay, I know you two are exceptional videographers, but the "Hardware Run from a Yacht" sequence this week (timestamps 07:26 through 08:49) was amazing! You used 18 shots in 83 seconds of video. That's a different shot approximately every 5 seconds. You gave the viewer context all along the way, including 4 beautiful drone shots of you in Minion that gave a feel for the distance traveled and the surrounding area.
My wife and I watch your videos every week. Often, we back up and rewatch portions of the videos as we watch them to appreciate the skill and effort you put into making them. We get tired as we sit comfortably on our couch while we ponder how much running back and forth it takes for two people to star in, direct, and shoot these videos. Keep up the great work. It is much appreciated!
I agree. I've watched the Wynns from the RV days and while I do love the content and banter, the technical side of filming and editing is where Nikki & Jason show they're some of the best in the business.
Same
I agree, I was watching the same thing. Really well done.
It's there filming crew that I'm most impressed with, The Cameraman, Director and Sound engineer do a superb job all while staying out of shot not to mention the Editor who also does an amazing job at putting all of it together, The Location manager also deserves a special mention as does the Stunt man/woman. Have I forgotten anyone ? maybe the Caterer to feed all these people and the Crew of the support vessel that follows at a respectable distance. Nikki and Jason should really give these people some credit for all they do to make these videos so successful !!
@@TheAtma50 - Well observed, Bob ! The aerial photography might deserve special recognition as well . . . . . ? You make a good point ! ! !
There are different strengths of loctite blue is designed for easier removal of the screws while red is more permanent. Might give red a try if they back out again 👍🏼
Surely the packaging also says blue and red loctite for what.
Your information is very helpful for those who don't know
I agree on cars when we assemble parts we don’t want coming apart we use the red.
Exactly. I was wondering what color they were using, and as soon as I saw blue I said "Well there's your problem."
I was thinking the same exact thing
Yeah I was coming to the comments section to say the same thing. I had a gentleman teach me that a few months back while he helped me work on my camper. Gotta use the red one if you dont want them to pretty much ever move again!
Niki and Jason, you are such a delight! Always smiling, goofin’ around, making light of what is an enormous amount of work. Most people would be cussing and swearing 🤬, going red in the face and threatening to sell the boat at the next opportunity. Thank you!!
Francis, an account is going around and copying peoples’ comments, yours this time. They change their name often, if you look in the comments from 7 days ago and an account called “lol” you will see your comment reposted. They did the same on the Wynns next video but called themselves “Blue” but with the same avatar.
@@teeanahera8949 thanks for the heads up. Quite astonishing. What can I do about it?
@@francismontocchio9910 I am not sure. As it happened to me also I went to their page and admonished them in no uncertain terms, I doubt they even read it. The account said it was based in Singapore and had one single snippet of a video and 300,000 subscribers! Obviously they’ve hacked the system somehow to enable this as their subscriber base grows by thousands per day but they have no content. When it happened to me I was able to contact the content creator of the channel in which this happened via FB Messenger and tell them, unfortunately they were uninterested in taking any action. The Wynns were right on to it when I posted it here, good for them, as to whether they can block this person or whether it would make any difference is unknown. Chances are this person (or bot) simply tries out hundreds of new channels every day. Maybe there is money in doing this, not sure? So…. Go to their channel and block them as I did. I tried reporting them to YT but could not see how to do this, I will try again though. If you report them successfully please let me know. All the best.
@@francismontocchio9910 more info. A little research shows this is likely a bot. By copying and pasting they somehow gain subscribers. That bot account is now at 999,999 subscribers. I found out how to report them. Go to their channel. Top right dots, click REPORT. A weird looking page will come up, find the little tiny icon of a flag about half way down the page. Click the flag icon and you are ready to report.
@@teeanahera8949 it’s definitely some sort of scam. I’ve reported them and I’ve asked Niki to do the same. Thanks for your help!
Those screws are called extended tip set screws. Most supply houses sell them 50 or so for $13USD. McMaster Carr and Grangier have them for sure.
They are also known as dog point or half dog point which just has a shorter non-threaded tip. Another way to lock in a set screw is to use a jam screw. This would be like using a jam nut. So if the original setscrew is say 5/8" long, use a 3/8 long half dog point and run in a 1/4" set screw behind it(type of point doesn't matter). This way you have a mechanical thread lock and not just relying on blue loctite.
Do they have them in Stainless steel too?
@@marceld6061 Yes.
@@marceld6061 Yes.
The secret to boat work is sundown cocktails.
So thankful for you both! Makes it easier to escape these crazy times
This video was right in time. Like an addict that misses his drug, I was experiencing a full body tremor, already after 2 weeks of no intake 🤣😍🤣
Good to see you guys back in action. Stay safe 🤙
Glad you're back. I hope your Christmas and New Year was good. Like everyone else is saying, it's wonderful to see you again. Can't wait for next week. Keep inspiring us all!
LMAO that pole dancing scene was hilarious ! Well done !
Boats are just like having a house, upkeep and repairs never stop. We had a plane, the work, repairs and inspections never ceased. Can't wait to see ya sailing again.
Boats are 1000 times the work of a house.
Your patience, work ethic and persistence is awe inspiring for us all.. keep up the good work!
"Hopefully we never have to do that again." Good line, but I don't think so. It's great to see you two back on. It doesn't seem like a Sunday without 'The Wynns.'
Narrator (Morgan Freeman of course): and with that phrase they had unknowingly condemned themselves to a life of replacing set screws.
😂😂
You could also use 680 green Loctite it is meant to locate bearing and bushing on clearance fit shafts and housings. We use it on rod eyes of high impact cylinders it is much stronger than 243 blue Loctite but can be removed with 100C heat. 262 Red Loctite is another option but good luck getting it out if you ever have to remove it, 680 is almost as strong but heat sensitive.
That thumbnail!!! 🤣 Love it!
Always fun to hang with the Wynns. You are so different from the beginning of your sailing days. You have some sailing cred now and I feel ur inner salty dogs growing every time I see you. Pretty cool.
Jason put those screws in the chuck of your cordless drill and touch the end on the screw onto a fine file, it will round of to a point easy. Just dont tighten the chuck of the drill too tight or the threads will deform. Really happy that you might end up with the sails you paid for, fingers crossed.

Warm winds and safe travels from Florida 😎😷☮️🌅🙏
an IT crowd reference cracked me up!
Nikki: smells the first herb
Also Nikki: doesn't smell the second herb
The second herb: *Why are we still here...just to suffer?*
Only in a Gone with the Wynns vlog do you come for a boat maintenance vlog...and end up witnessing chaos where anything goes. And why am not surprised that pole dancer you showed is Russian? As someone who's part Russian on my dad's side, Russians are incredibly talented superhumans. Amazing at dancing, figure skating, singing, composing, and military skill!
I feel like so many of these couples who live on Catamarans spend so much time on maintenance and repairs. Boating full time is a ton of work, made me realize it isn’t all play. 💯
Good to see you both! Happy New Years!
I'm sitting in my home office in Houston, legs up on my desk drinking my coffee thankful I'm here. The thing about your channel is you show the good and the bad. It's a LOT of continuous maintenance. The sailing part is pretty cool (I've been sailing many times) but the work associated with it is a lot!
Fantastic teamwork and sharing the chores. way to go you two.
Glad you are back Hope 2022 will be filled with happiness and wonderful adventures for you both!
So glad to see you guys again!
You guys make a great team, love it. The blue yonder beckons, let's go! Cheers to you both.
Been dying for a new episode been so long can't wait to see what this year holds for u and your channel stay safe and have fun
Love to watch you on Sundays! Happy New Year to you both --
Glad you weathered the storm well and are nearing the refit finish line! Thanks for bringing us along!!
Jason and Nikki I spend my Sunday mornings with my coffee watching your videos. Great videos, enjoy your relationship that the two of you have, missed you over the holidays glad to see you’re back and sailing again. Thank you. you make my Sunday mornings
Happy New Years to the both of you! Great video and looking forward to seeing what is in store for next week. Be safe.
You all are so much fun!!
So exciting!
Welcome back! Lovely to see you again. Happy New year!
You guys rock. I feel like I've tackled something challenging when I change the spark plug in my lawn mower.
Nice to see you both again!! Happy New Year!!
I love the energy you guys put into everything you do. Even when life throws you curve balls you take it with a smile.
Wait, what? Sailing on a sailing channel? The antici
pation 😎😎
Nice work on the repairs/maintenance 👍
Another awesome video. I think a lot of people would have given up. Replacing the windows was a huge task I so do enjoy the content and super nice views of the places you travel to. Donavan's reminds me of our Ace hardware stores. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
So happy you’re back. Hope you guys had a great holiday. Looking forward to to your new adventures!!
Yay..good work! Thank you for sharing.
Looking forward to the sailing adventures. Y'all have done so much to Curiosity and deserve the reward of sailing.
Nice to see you back on the water. Hard to put a price on " peace of mind" knowing to have everything done, Congrat's!!
Good to see you both- Happy New Year
Happy New Year ! congrats on all the repairs, you guys are truly amazing
I know you two are self-motivated and give each other support, so it's hard to know how to give y'all an extra squirt of encouragement. So, I'll add my two-cents-worth of appreciation for your perseverance and dedication to sharing your trials and adventures.
Good job guys, the work is done the fun begins. Thanks for letting me live the sailing life vicariously because it's ain't never gonna happen for real, my wife doesn't like the water. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Love you guys! Great video. ❤️❤️❤️
Glad to have you back!
Love your channel- don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but your set-screw woes may be alleviated with a different color of Loctite. Blue (242) is medium duty, but red (262) is a high strength and might keep those little buggers in place. Safe travels!
A second set screw on top would act similar to a jam nut. Just an idea... I have done this with alot of success.
If you do use a second set screw do not use the nipple ones as it may damage the first set screw hex hole for your allen key.
i was just about to write in that red loctite is for when you don't want screw to come out and blue is for when you want it to stay but be removeable
Glad to see you back!
Loctite RED is what you need for those set screws; it cures in 24 hours, and won't release without a heat gun.
So agree with this comment. Former auto mechanic.
Happy new year❤️💜 we love yall
Yes! Yes! Yes! It's so exciting to have you guys back on the tube! I hope you had a wonderful, happy, healthy holiday! --Jessica from Florida 🌞
Have you tried red lock tight? (Different colors denote different strengths, red is normally the strongest) Also, for the set screws without a nipple, a small set of jewelers files and a drill would allow you to create a nipple on the end (chuck the set screw in the drill and use it like a mini lathe)
You can't use the strongest loctite without giving consideration that at some time you need to unscrew it all again, 316 stainless is not that tough and you could end up ruining the hex hole in the screw and then you'd be really screwed.
Red would be better I think, it’s not that hard to unscrew any bolts or screws using it.
We missed you guys!
Beautiful video as always!! ❤️ Loved and laughed a lot about the pole dance show!! 😍😂👌🏻
Great video, tonnes of information, fun and easy to watch. Once again guys, thank you, and looking forward to the future.
It was hard to see, But I would be using locktite red, not blue. Might be the difference. Just a thought. Thanks for another great video Y'all.
Agreed! And given the amount of loctide used, let it cure at least 12 hours ... just sayin from own experience. 😀
Life is a never ending story an so for that we all must run into obstacles throughout our lives. Keep it up u two.
Very interesting episode you two. Outstanding teamwork!
Love how you all share your favorite resources without/without partnerships. You are all so brave being up that high, but what a beautiful view!!
@15:55 wow, I would get crazy, when I would loose one of those tiny screws at that height and it would drop into the water. Especially for that price. I wonder, why the engineers haven`t designed better connection solutions with bigger screws. Great work !
You both are the best, period. Wonderful video, music, editing and most of all, seeing you both healthy, happy and smiling. Thanks for letting us be a part! --Don
Happy to have you guys back! 🤗
Congratulations on accomplishing that to-do list - enjoy the seas! ♥️
Hope there was some good downtime added in over the past couple weeks. And on this episode...you both earned a week's worth of Sundowners.
Next Sunday....we SAIL! To where? No idea. LOL
Jason: I'm not gonna use the silicone or caulk
Jason: *holds the loctite next to a certain part of his body as he says caulk*
😏 pole dancing, expensive nips, a mention of caulk, man diaper....this is very interesting way to come back from a short break 🤣
You guys are so awesome and always so creative. You took an important boat job and turned it into fun! That's why we watch you! Thanks again!!
So glad your back!!! 💞☕⛵🌊☀️
I’ve never been this early!!
The bit where Jason is trying to get on the pole made me actually lol... with nobody anywhere around.... Pole dancers... lol
Our work here is done! 😎
Yay, you guys are back! Hoping this year will be stress free for you guys and more happy sailing ahead! 🌬⛵️🐬🏝
Great job you two... wow looks fun, but got to do, what you have to do. Cant wait to see more adventures
On the screw backing out. Find a screw that has a head on it, after installing it wrap it with an exterior grade waterproof tape from Siga, Zip or similar. The tape will hold onto the head and hopefully keep it from turning.
Great to see you again 😀
Love you guys and your adventures.
Would be a dream come true to go sailing with you guys and fly the drone, clean bilges, whatever 😋
Agreed! Where do we sign up!?!
@@marceld6061 راح غير ما صح ❤️❤️😍
Just wrap some duct tape around the pole it'll be fine. Happy New Year you two lovelies and to all the viewers.
I was wondering the same or even use shrink tubing, obvs would need to disassemble at some point to slide tubing on
Duct tape & WD40 - the most versatile tools in the box!
It was fun to watch you 2 ... Going up... An coming down!! Finally fixing the last thing.... Happy ta see you 2 back at it!!! May 2022 bring abundance an love an new friendships with adventures to bring joy to your souls!!
Thanks for sharing your lives with us! Fare winds an following sea's guy's ✌🏻💗😊❣️
Great job TEAM!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! NOW OFF FOR SOME SAILING. STAY SAFE. SENDING GOOD VIBES FROM TENNESSEE FAN!
I could never be that handy. Kudos to you both for working on the endless list of house projects.
You two are AMAZING!
Good to see you back. Lovely scenery in the background. So looking forward to seeing more of New Zealand
Welcome back, it's good to see you still at the world circumference tour. Yea!!!
Always a joy to watch you guys. I love your 'can do' attitude. You are a tonic. Thanks
This makes my Sunday. Glad you got it all sorted. 😊
You guys are just terrific !!! I really do admire what you’re doing and what you’ve done 👍🤗
You 2 have learned a lot since you started to sail. Very informative videos. Keep up the good work. Wish you the best in the new year.
Ten thumbs up! So wonderful to watch and for you to share.. Great Job Nikki and Jason.. Happy New Year! Much Love!
It's so good to see your lists of jobs getting so small. So happy to have another video from you guys.
Soooiioo happy you are both safe after your repairs and back to sailing !!! Whoooo hooooo love you guys ❤️❤️
Happy to see you back😃. Look forward to your videos every week. Takes me out into the water which I’ve been missing since this pandemic descended upon the world.
Bless your hearts! You have been through so much but you make it seem so effortlessly! I am sure behind the scenes you had a few moments of wanting to just walk away from it all! I so admire you and you are an example to stick to it no matter what! Thank you for all the time it took you to film and edit! Your example will help me this coming year!
nice team work!! enjoy your channel keep up the good content!!
Good to see you back. Hope you had a good holiday season
Good to see you’re back😊🇦🇺
It's good to see you again. I missed your smiling faces and watching your adventures.
Glad to see you are ready to go…can’t wait to see the new sails!
So happy you’re back. Missed you!
Great video you guys are rocking it.
You two always have some great suggestions on repair materials, etc. Thanks
