We’ve been at sea for over twenty days now and we’re down to the last few hundred nautical miles. It’s our last days at sea and we can almost smell land.
Knowing we’re on the home stretch gives us a heightened awareness of the journey we’re on and puts us in an introspective frame of mind.
We diagnose our engine problem, almost sink the drone and a colossal catch steals the day. Join us for days twenty through twenty-three as we sail across the Pacific Ocean making our way to French Polynesia.
Shared with LOVE from all of us here aboard s/v Curiosity,
Jason, Nikki, Cleo and Singa 💕

Jason after you voiced your thoughts about your crossing, I though I had to weigh in and say that the two of you have a right to be very proud of yourselves. I have been sailing for nearly 60 years and the enormity of what you have done and are still doing, is not to be underestimated. Crossing large bodies of water in small boats is an inherently dangerous occupation. I take my hat off to the two of you for your bravery in attempting this and your humour and self deprecation about the daily outcomes of this adventure. I know many very good sailors who have decided against large ocean crossings because of a fear of the unknown - and if any body tries to tell you that these days this is routine, then they are naive, asinine or just plain stupid. So don't belittle or underestimate what you have achieved so far. The only thing I wish I had when I was crossing oceans was SatNav and a generator (warm beer sucks). But with all your electronics and comfort, your survival is still at the whim of nature and Poseidon. Knowing that - and still going ahead is what we used to call "the right stuff". I wish you many more happy days and fair seas.
Perfectly stated...this young couple are an amazing example of fortitude and determination. I have utmost respect...
@@rhondalyn100 Very well said, you two!!! Very well said indeed!!
A prime example of weather planning and preparation. Two people on a tiny boat crossing a huge often unpredictable ocean is something to be celebrated, hats off to cats and crew
I’m in awe of both of you for How far you’ve come literally and figuratively the past couple years. You should be very very proud of yourselves! The couple drone footage I’ve seen of the boat in the middle of the ocean gives a glimpse of how alone you really are out there. Scares me from the safety of my couch LOL
It's nice of you to Honor the fish. Very respectful. I appreciate that. Now enjoy it! Good to know I'm not the only one that feeds my cat sushi.
Nikki amazes me with the meals she creates when you are out at sea. Nikki you are an amazing woman. You do it all. And Jason we love you too! Great videos!
Jason, you tell stories with your imagery! …and everyone knows "a picture says a thousand words". Maybe even a million more. The images you capture for us are emotions that words cannot effectively capture. The night sky time lapses show us what the first sailors saw, the water shots tell us the stories of the sea creatures. And so much more. Trust me we are connecting thru your imagery and it hits us with so much more than words. You and amazing Nikki have held our attention and given us perspective, in ways no other has. Thank you for taking the brave steps to show us what humans were meant to do. Learn, participate, and leave no trace of harm to our precious earth.
,I have encountered gifted people whom i respect and enjoy. the authors of the blog are gifted professionals, or at least should be. their authenticity and interpersonal skills are "It's full of lights."
*_That was way cool, that you asked for thanks, from the fish for its sacrifice. That's the old ways and the best way to be. My opinion! Always give thanks towards another species, if they give their life for your sustainability._*
moosemieser always : )
With this wonderful thought and understanding in mind WHY do you think so many Native Americans are so wasteful with the items nature has to offer man? Here in Washington State we see it almost everyday. Fish and Shell Fish most often, very sad.
That fish wasn't even old enough to reproduce. Yes, even so-called sport fishing impacts wild populations. A vacuous thank you does nothing to replace the unnecessary death.
Just think south florida you can go catch and release 10 sailfish in a day easy. They will all live. The record day so far is 89 caught sailfish and released in one day. even seeing hooking a shortbill spearfish is a dream. Catching and releasing one is something most never dream of.
Super rich anglers spend 10's of millions of dollars to catch and RELEASE a shortbill spearfish to complete catching and releasing every type of billfish in the ocean and most never even get a shot at catching a shortbill spearfish. Just sayin....
Nikki, you always bring such a touch of class and elegance to what you do, culinary especially. I've seen so many sailing couples go seedy, looking as barnacle encrusted as their boat bottoms. Yet, you are always an image of polish and classiness. KUDOS!!! You could teach a lot of people that leisure doesn't have to equate with slovenliness.
cleo looking at the fish like, this is my share, right?, lol
I see your current voyage as a huge deposit in the Experience bank. You will be collecting interest on that for the rest of your lives. Travel safe.
Jason, love the heart to hearts. You're way too hard on yourself. What I love about your vlog is how genuine you both seem, and your willingness to share these intimate parts of your lives with the world. We wouldn't want it any other way. Keep up the great work!
You may not be a wordsmith, but I tune in because I adored your RV series!!!! I do not tune in for actors!!! I like you all and seeing you go from zero to being in the "great somewhere, out there" is just amazing!!! For various reasons many of us will never get this chance. With you two being on and in this adventure and working hard to share the experience you are on a passage alone, yet we tune in to be there with you in spirit!!! I like you both just as you are!!! I leaned so much on the RV series, I felt more confident on repairs and technologies, that we built a small camper van!!! Don't get the Doldrums!!!! Thank you all so very much!!!!
For me, your best vlog yet. You really captured your adventure....I felt it. From the puppet show on the sails to your poetry rendition of your experience and the caught fish. Certainly, one of the most professional yet entertaining vlog from the SV's. ps x
I think I would be craving quiet - I didn’t realize how loud sailing would be. But Nickie is a great and creative cook! What you are doing is amazing and awesome - thank you so much for sharing your adventure! It is your being real that makes your adventure so interesting to watch and reality is never all good, easy and pretty! I think what amazes me the most is your bravery when tackling something so potentially dangerous and your steadfast willingness to figure it all out. Well done! And that fish was so beautiful!
Hey guys. Taking a day off from editing and work to enjoy some videos.
Jason your drone catching skills have improved since Alaska.
I still remember Lynn cringing when whacking fish on the boat.
Hey there has to be a drone to catch! 😉 What an epic day!
Oh man, you definitely do not have to worry about sounding like a robot or being boring in what you say in your videos.
You guys are amazing!
You guys are amazing! You have been inspiring me for over a year now to go on a year (or longer) backpacking trip around the world! I have lived in Australia and a few other places, but never for more then just a few months. I started a business a year and a half ago to fund my trip. I graduated college and was broke living in my car with my boyfriend. We found a local bagel shop who let us use his kitchen in their off hours at night to get our start. So we started a late night cookie delivery service, living in the parking lot of the bagel shop. It was a huge success and now we have a storefront location (hopefully a second one soon!) And are almost financially stable enough to fund years of travel. We are so excited and it's your channel that keeps me pushing each day to work and make this happen, knowing this type of travel is the end goal! I hope to one day convert my RUclips channel to being a full travel channel like yours
Cass & Bran
Sounds like yall need your own channel? Go for it!!
Haha awh thank you!! We actually do have a channel, we just don't really market it much because were so busy building the business, hustling, or traveling. If you press on my little icon you can see it. We do post though 1-3 times a week :) I just never have time to actually market it and tell people that it exists! haha Maybe I should take it more seriously and hire someone to market it for me...you think it would be worth it and do well? lol. Lemme know what you think! I just always put it last on the to do list with everything else going on!
Ahh the wynns have that effect on us,we have been living full time in a class a rv for 1. 5 years now and loving it😁 follow your dreams it's a good life! The Mittons
Wow Evan!! That's awesome!! I haven't had the glorious life of living in an RV yet but I definitely hope to some day! So far everywhere I have road tripped, I have lived in the car or been hitchhiking. I set up a clothes line in the backseat area and wash my clothes in lakes...VERY budget style travel! haha but I hope to one day try an RV like you! Maybe you'll see me get to that point if you follow my videos but if definitely won't be for a while! lol. Congrats on an awesome life!!
Beautiful story and a great testament to the "where's a will there's a way".
I am watching this now as I type. So Great! I love you guys so much! I love how you are living and making the most of everything, and yet still chill, real and human. I love seeing all the meals Nikki cooks. I love seeing the kitty's. I love feeling like I'm part of this journey. How smart doing the rope thingy. Pretty drone shots. Good catch Jason! Yay! So inspiring. Thank you! Congrats on the fish! Holy Cow!
Jason, you ARE a wordsmith, as is Nikki. It comes thru from your HEARTS!!! An awesome voyage, well filmed and very well presented, but mostly an experience the two of you will never forget - shared together!
It is nice to watch two people that started with the sailing course and now is traveling across the ocean safely and doing it in style.
Aww, you two need two kittens. It gives two babies a home and helps heal your hearts . My kitties loved being on board just like yours.😻
What you were experiencing when you started getting closer to land was what we used to call "Channel Fever". Restless feeling and the sense that the boat is traveling too slow. 24 plus days at sea does that to a person. Well done you two. Congrats on your passage.
The boat looks so picturesque with the spinnaker flying…
Jason you don't need to be a boring wordsmith to explain how you feel. You explain yourself really well as we travel the same passage with you Nikki and the cats. With your videos which are of professional quality production and editing we see and somehow feel your emotions the highs and lows.
The routine actually helps and the unexpected a joy.
Without routine your journey would become too dangerous and anyway you get to see such wonderful seas and skies which must be breathtaking and emotionally sustaining.
Once on land it will take you some time to get back your land legs and I bet you will soon want the isolation of Curiosity sooner than you think.
There's not many YT videographers that I look forward to seeing however yours and Nikki's are the exception. I wish you all a safe final leg passage and look forward to your excitement on seeing land..."land ahoy" take care.
Oh Jason your talks are just wonderful, I was thinking when watching the drone shots from above your cat, how small & alone you look out there, yes you & Nicky should feel a sense of achievement, because it is, an immensely brave & courageous thing to do after only two years, the Pacific Ocean is one hell of a big ocean, & yes it’s fine to feel all emotions, it so different to land, cities, masses of people etc.. your doing it, you’ve done it by now I’m sure, you’ve arrived.. Congratulations to you both, it’s a testament to your strength, trust & love 💕 for each other, it’s only going to get better once you arrive in these heavenly places..
🌺😸⛵️
Jason's poetry made me tearry because it was from the ❤ Awsome you guy's, thank you for all you do because thru you I get to experience something I can only dream of...keep it real. God bless you both and keep you safe while you realize your dreams. XOXOXO
You guys sure do eat well at sea.👍
Yah, I'd be on me fourth case of Dinty Moore beef stew by now, lol.
Hey Jason, don't feel negative about what you've said on camera. I've love every minute of the passage. And I really enjoyed your reflections of what you've thought and how you've felt. Yes, yes , what you've done is a really cool thing. Thanks for shearing it with me.
That was one of your all time classic videos,,,,,you guys have come a long way baby.....im so proud of you jason and nikki with the catch,,,,thats not just a fish its a CATCH....Coming from Texas taugh you well nikki,,,,,love,love, love it!
So your coffee hasn't run out even though your fruit & veggies are slimmer. You 2 are craving interaction on your long voyage like you received when you were in your motor home. Just stopping to see something different can't be done on a long voyage. Just seeing another sail boat or a big ship would be fun & break the monotony. You could even converse with someone else & say "How is it going would be fun." You both were meant for each other but you 2 are people person & need interaction with others to feel fulfilled. The most happy videos I have viewed that you have made is when Dale & her other half was on your boat. The 4 of you were having fun & enjoying yourselves. The other videos with Jason's mom was having fun on your boat was a good time also. You didn't show every minute of all the trip but you showed everyone enjoying each other. The parts where Dale & her husband by themselves as well as showing you 2 by yourself was good. Showing Betty & Jason together, showing Nikki with Betty & showing all three of you together is good. Being together as a group is healthy as having solitude time is very healthy. Trying to perform for a video all the time & not being real is not healthy. How many actors or performers do drugs, act out negatively or commit suicide one way or another. Now I'm going out & shoot some pictures just to have some fun. I share them with others also & then I'm having a normal reaction with others. I welcome criticism as well as praise. This is what will make me as good as you 2 are.
It's so easy and enjoyable to watch drone footage; then when you see how difficult and risky flying a drone...let alone at sea, on a moving boat...can be, you don't realise everything you just watched was not an easy task to accomplish. After Jason said I hope you enjoyed, I had to go back and rewatch. It's so easy to take this for granted and not grasp what a big deal that footage is for two people under sail at sea. Thank you and I appreciate your efforts. Nice fish for the four of you.🚁🐟😸🥂
🥰
I’ve never tried it or even piloted a drone over water but I had a thought. I know drones will typically stay put in air if you don’t do anything with the controls. Would it help to just motor into the drone and grab it. Meaning park it out in front of the boat and steer right it? Only adjusting the altitude if needed.
@@kcmike7 it needs to land on a moving boat, within a limited landing space.. Ropes, sails, hatches. Practice makes perfect, but don't imagine an easy task. Grabbing a drone out of the air in a bobbing boat.. yikes. I think maybe landing on the solar panels?
You bet that's hard to do. I'm afraid many also don't realize how much work goes into making these video's period. So many steps to get good shots, capture good audio, stabilizing the camera, getting into tight places, all the editing, archiving all this footage, cleaning your gear and so forth. Heck just uploading video while on the road or at sea can be daunting and time consuming at times. We just started our channel about 2 months ago and I really appreciate the work Jason and Nicki put into this.
Catching a drone mid air from a rocking boat on a windy day (moving drone too) is extremely risky, a touch of those fast spinning blades can mean significan cuts at a moment where the nearest place you can get sutures could be several days away. Not fun.
A lovely video again guy's. Ooo! That was a big fish and yes I did appreciate the drone flight . It brought it home, A little boat in a big sea.
Very good example of team work, and dedication to each other. Your videos are excellent entertainment as always.
I love your Garmin camera for a youtuve channel......Everytime you show it, leave it up for 10 seconds (like you did a couple of times) or so so we can really enjoy the view and take in the data....Garden hose is great to prevent chaffe......Are you hot wiring engine due to a bad MDI box...Same with the drone, let us absorb the vast ocean and keep the drone picture up for 10-20 seconds......It shows how small you are and how large the ocean is........great shots though...Im surprised with all the gadgets you have you do not have a vacuum sealer for food......I bet Amazon will be delivering soon...lol
Congrats on that gorgeous fish! Nicki, is there anything you can't do? Jason, you kill it every day repairing your boat issues! Love, Love you guys and your channel! Almost there! WooHoo!
I absolutely love you guys, your videos have been the soul and eyes of the world in your view. You have been my brother and sister from another lifetime and my eyes to a world I’ll never travel. But I won’t have to because you have shown me more than I realized is out there. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
That one drone shot showing just the boat and the open sea really put things in perspective! Thanks for sharing.
Good job on that massive fish! 20+ days at sea like this is no joke, it really is a big accomplishment on many levels. It is not lost on me, that is for sure.
Yes, we enjoyed the drone footage. Zoe cheered when he caught the drone, too.
Nikki,
Try fillet from the head down. From the bottom catches the ends of the bones. Slides down the bones from the top. Nice fish.
Yea, I agree. And the normal flexible fillet knife is the way to go. Start at the head and just run it along the backbones all the way to the tail. Wing it from there.
I take a first pass just to cut the skin and then come back sweeping down the bones toward the spine, letting them guide the knife. Fileting is a skill and it takes practice.
Thanks for the tip!
Don't take this advice as criticism. These people are only trying to help you. Just wished they could have pointed out where the bones are before you had to fillet the fish. Where were we last week?
They didn’t.
watching these clips is like being on the boat with you guys. So interesting, and informative. Didn't realise what hard work it really is
As always, what can be said that hasn't been.
You are both amazing, accomplished, very in tune with life, fortunate, brave, and living what most of us can only imagine.
Enjoy each moment because your memories will be abundant.
Safe ⛵️ !
You guys are simply one of favorite couples that are "vloging" their great adventures around the World. God Bless you!
Y'all are amazing!!!!! We are human everyone everyone! Complains at one point or another but y'all have grit and that not everyone has! Love y'all!!!
I really appreciate your respect for the fish; it came across as real and heartfelt. I guess this is the biggest roller coaster ride you've ever had, which is the best way to live life; a flatline is synonymous with death. Much respect for what you have both accomplished in such a short time. it's a privilege to share your doubts and uncertainties.
She's not craving anything because she has a stash of ice cream on the boat!!!!!!
11:59 GORGEOUS view of the MASSIVE ocean behind and ahead of you!.
Wait til you hit land. You take a few steps and then realize that solid land is waving up and down, because your balance system anticipates it. I lived on and off 3 years on a boat. My fav recipes are roast chicken and peaches (nothing else), and lamb burgers pressed in cracked multicolor peppercorns and garlic salt. Roasted potatoes on the grill --cut in half and rub with olive oil, seasoned. Asperagus grilled same. Salad. And of course the home made wine. That's what i remember from the boat. Oh and one fabulous rack of BBQ'd elk ribs. Thanks for your wonderful videos. Love both of you and the wide beautiful seas. Your kitties may need a worming if they eat raw fish. Fabulous swordfish. Good job!
OK, OK, OK. I gotta stop again and compliment you both on some fabulous drone footage at 8:30 min. Over-the-top guys, over-the-top !! Just makes me understand (and, most likely, everybody else), just what a daunting accomplishment you are sharing with us. 👍👌👊
Thanks again for sharing guys. It's funny to think you posted this video after you landed... Jason, your words are poetry 'cause they are not messed around with too much - from the heart.
I've sailed for 2 years. You guys are doing great ! I understand about long crossing. When you guys are done doing the sailing thing take my word for it you will never be the same or see things in the same way. Good job guys.
Its amazing how a little water and wind (or lack of) can push you to the brink of madness. There are people who say they wouldnt be scared. There are some who are to stupid to be scared when they should be. Then there are those who are Gone with the Wynns
The spearfish scene was tastefully done; great job! Good karma to be respectful towards taking the life of an animal; particularly one that looks like it could take your's given different circumstances lol
OMG your cat in this scene 14:49, all in my head but is hilarious...I feel like I've seen what a cat looks like when it feels "wealthy beyond it's wildest dreams".
Wow!!!!!! I love the personal one on one talks...it makes you all seem more real...not actors!!! I super loved the drown shots!!!!!! And what a catch!! That fish was H U G E!!! Also, I love your passion for each other for adventure!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Amazing drone shots! It's soooo scary flying that thing under sail; we did it for the first time the other day and yeah- it was so nerve-wracking. We got some really good tips from 59 North Sailing which seemed to work pretty well though: catch the drone from the back of the boat instead of the side, bring the drone up behind the boat so you're always moving away from the drone (less chance of it colliding with something!) and fly it in backwards so the collision sensor isn't triggered. That all said, we're on a mono, so you've got a lot more space for these kind of things. Great ep, can't wait for French Polynesia!
Also, flying it in backwards you can bring it in using line of sight rather than fpv. Much faster reactions that way :)
Those all sound like great tips. The last one would work for land based flying as well.
With our Mavic Air I've found bringing it in sideways on our stern is the only way to fool it's sensors. Quite a heart quickening event when I first learned that as the weak battery beep kept sounding and the drone hovered about 3' out of arms' length. lol
Boy I will be glad to get back on land. I have been sea sick for almost a month now. Thank u guys for the ride.
Another superb video. Great job at ALL you do. With all the boxes checked, you two are ROCK STARS of life and adventure. It’s a pleasure to be included. 👍🇺🇸😎
You don't crave anything because Nikki does such a great job of providing well-balanced and exciting food!
Jason there's nothing wrong with saying multiple days at Sea sucks . They can be richly rewarded at times and a bloody nightmare. It's all about just completing the journey. I hope that beer when you got into Port was fantastic mate.
Your voyage IS a big deal. You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking me with.
Am loving this long sail, this is what it's all about! Please do more of these!
The stressful drone work y'all did was worth it for the epic footage of y'all out there all alone. I was already freaked out by the very idea of being that remote on the open ocean but seeing it really drove it home. I salute you for the passage you two just did. If it was easy, everybody would do it!
Dear World-Sailors 😘😘 What I always think is, how proud you can be about what you are able to deal or struggle with. The mental power to handle the technical problems, waiting for the right moment to go, the monotone ride for three weeks on sea... you can really feel strong and happy about what you are able to do. I am especially impressed by the technical issues that you are able to manage (like the how-to-videos of you and rvgeeks for over two years now). So: feel hugged and safe travels 😘😘💪💪👍👍
What an extraordinary documentary, I could feel your emotions and even anxiety at times, yet you held it all together.
I always thought of myself as someone who could take this kind of risk, but quite honestly I doubt I could, I truly admire you both for a job well done.
Beautiful video as always. Jason, you don't need to be a wordsmith as you call it. You already are because you speak from the heart. Nikki, the things you see at night can be entertaining and ut shows you have imagination. Helps pass the time. Beautiful drone shots nice save. The timing of catching the fish was perfect. The catd getting the fresh fish was definitely a nice treat for them. This passageway is an accomplishment that you will never forget. I'm very proud of you both. This definitely is not for everyone but you show I can be done. We are planning on leaving in 3 weeks to start our RV journey. Safe travels
This video and you are absolutely beautiful and amazing... Wow what a fish. So we have that same drone and I'm always scared to lose it! I completely understand how you felt! Thanks so much for your sharing!
Nikki and Jason. Boy those drone shots really put you in perspective as to what a small speck you are in that massive ocean. Loving the cooking you do and I can only imagine how good that smells at sea. That Spear fish. Holy cow. Huge! I am not a sailor and the Sailing Zatara you tube show is what got me hooked on watching sailors. Also Sam Holmes has a great channel. Thanks for such beautiful video editing and sharing your souls with the world.
Jason...my fav part of the vid is you sharing from your heart. You're a wordsmith in your own way! PEACE OUT! Ü
You are both wordsmiths, and Nikki can COOK; thanks to you both for sharing, the video, and the feelings.
Well said Jason, especially the part about " now you are just more intimate with the world"; you may just have that poet spirit in you :)
I thought you did an excellent job Jason, of explaining your feelings about this long passage.....and it turned out to be what I would have expected from you.....an attitude of positivity! What an awesome fish.....you two needed and deserved those exciting moments.....
Woot woot!! I love my Sunday mornings with the Wynns!
Thanks for the video! I know it took a lot of effort to do the drone footage but wow you now have shots of curiosity in the middle of no where and it will be there for you to look back on and remember your huge passage! Almost there!!!
Love Sunday mornings just as much as Singa loves his Sushi. 😀😻🐟. Continue to stay safe and can't wait to see your excitement once you arrive. Glad you are able to keep in touch with Kent, he's a great friend.
I'm planning an Alaska road trip so I've been going back and watching your episodes from three years ago. I'm so used to seeing the sailing Wynns, its fun to go back and watch the land sailors in action! ;)
What! Another awesome video, watching your trip is exciting. I love the fact that you have not broke down emotionally. Being alone with one other person no matter how much you love them can be taxing. You both have carried yourself off with such dignity and grace I really am enjoying your trip, Can't wait for next week and the final installment of this leg. Jason that was a great catch with the drone, glad you didn't loose it to the old man in the sea. Wow what a catch with that sword fish, awesome and you save and eat all you can, What a stack of bagged fish you had there Nikki, great filleting. Neither one of you need to be wordsmiths, you are both very entertaining and truthful. What a life lesson you are having with this new journey, traveling on land is far more action packed with all your little excursions daily but at sea is giving you the true nature of how you can handle and mature in emotional and physical growth, Thank you
You two have come so far, literally and figuratively. Well done.
The trip so far is amazing. For only sailing for about 2 years you have done very well. Congrats of that. The fish was beautiful. Glad that you got it and now you have enough to make land. The cats seem to be doing well also. Glad that the waves have slowed and lessened a lot. The drone footage was truly amazing. Thanks for the effort for that. You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking me along. I know I will never see this part of the world. I appreciate your journey. I felt like I there with you. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and happy trails.
Just watched the alaska nail in the RV tire and have to say how his funny "go with the flow, let's wing it" attitude was enjoyable to watch. Plus subscribed, like both of your personalities!
GREAT CATCH! Catching for food is different than sport, of course you're using as much as you know how to use! Hope it tasted as good as it looked!
Wow....that's a nice size fish. I'm surprised you didn't have a major fight bringing him in.
Have fun sailing, and safe.
That drone shot was just WOW! So big and vast and a bit scary to me. You are just OUT there. Amazing!
Big respect, huge respect. Crossing an Ocean takes a lot of courage (guts). 10 out of 10.
Great video. Almost a little emotional there at the end when you tell us what this epic undertaking has meant to you. Your ability to convey personal reflections and feelings like that sets the video apart.
Very cool video! The drone footage was awesome and show how big the ocean really is. Really fun to see you catch the fish 🐠! We can see how excited you both are to do this. Can’t wait for your next video!
Expressing real thought never overshadows accomplishment. Great job all!!!
New subscriber. There is something so magnetizing about you two. Love watching your videos.
GREAT DRONE SHOT , GREAT CATCH, YOU GUY TAKE IT FOR GRANTED 25 DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN IS NOT AN EASY TASK, AND YOU DON'T MIND SHARING YOUR FEELING ABOUT EVERYTHING HAPPENING, LOVE IT
Congratulations on a huge accomplishment! You're almost there in this one. This time while you're slowly approaching the finish line is the time to reflect back and begin to take it all in. Knowing this is probably time delayed by a couple of weeks at least, I hope it was all you both dreamed it would be! - Congratulations also on your big catch, part of your reward for a job well done no doubt! - As always, thanks for bringing us along to share in the adventure. It's a pleasure I'm sure we look forward to every Sunday!
LOLOL the puppet show. Sometimes it's the small things in life that give us the most joy. :)
Hopefully when my husband and I get the chance to sail as well we can all meet. You guys are encouraging and I LOVED the view, that is what we are looking forward too. Just us the water, and delicious fish. We love fishing. I do feel bad for killing them but they just taste so delicious and it’s healthy. I would eat a fish over a burger any day. Can’t wait for your pictures from land.
You two are great and bring the world to us...I will almost be as happy as you when you reach land!
Excellent video, apparently kitties love the shrimp and fish. Admire the both of you and your endurance.
Really Nice catch Jason .
Nice to see you both out on the Ocean enjoying the winds on your tails and the cats get to have part of the catch also .
I agree the two of you should be congratulated for your accomplishments it is hard to believe that Yes 2 years ago you were RVers!
cat's like.... 'hey you gonna cook this for me first.... hahaha nice catch
Oh what you do for us!! The drone shots in open water are breathtaking!
One of the most exciting videos yet!! Love the fishing!!! Can't believe Jason tackle it for just 30 minutes!! 😜 That was one huge fish!!!!
Hey Jason, well you said you were t a wordsmith man but what you just said about complaining and gratitude, you nailed it so well. The words flowed perfectly. You guys are so inspiring!
I'd love to crew with you guys some day. South Pacific holds such a passion for me, especially the Cooks and French Polynesia. I remember a stormy day on Rarotonga and I was down at the pier and some guy screened out "hey man can you give me a hand here?" As his sailboat was nearly slamming against the pier. They were getting ready to sail to Aitutaki and I asked if I could crew my way with them there. He didn't feel comfortable cause I didn't have experience. One day. Thanks you guys and cats
well done guys - I've been watching since the early yacht videos and you guys have done so much. you should feel HUGELY proud having done what you did. All the best on future adventures. Jelly!
Such a good video. I marvel at you're amazing meals so far into the trip! I think I'd be having boring repetitive meals by then, haha. That drone footage was amazing - no land in sight! The sail statistics overlay is really interesting to see... a great way to show that info. Thank you :)
Jason, you are so stoked! What an amazing journey you are experiencing! Love your videos, can't get enough! You both do an amazing job expressing your feelings. Jason, you're a poet, didn't know it. That makes you extra special. Keep on, keep on! Safe journey, Lynne
