And we only have 3 days before we must sail the boat out of the country. Most sailors would take it slow for the shakedown period and coastal cruise for the first month or so while they get to know the vessel. But, we don’t have that luxury. Because this boat was built for export and once completed, it must be exported out of the country. So no local cruising for us. Due to the weather patterns and time of year, our best option right now is to sail the 600+ miles across the South China Sea, through the Taiwan Straits (notoriously treacherous bit of water) and into the Philippines. That’s one helluva first sail!  Welcome to the world S/V CURIOSITY. In other words this is not a shakedown cruise. This is a multi-day Bluewater passage that will have to serve as our shakedown. Goodbye China and hello Philippines. __________________________________ WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales. We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us. Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so. We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste. Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity Timestamps if you like to Jump Around: 00:00 Three Days to Move Aboard 03:05 Cast Off Day (Leaving the HH Marina) 06:38 Xiamen Tianzhuyan Temple 07:50 Departure Day – Bureaucracy and a Photoshoot 10:07 Goodbye Friends, Goodbye China 11:48 Afternoon Pick Me Up! 13:45 Sailing out of China and First Meal Aboard 16:20 Meet the Crew 17:12 Dangers of Sailing the East China Sea 18:45 Sunset, Stars and Bioluminescence 21:48 Sunrise Sailing and Dolphins 26:17 Flying the Spinnaker 29:13 Bangin’ Breakfast!!!! 30:14 Nikki on our First HH44 Passage 32:49 Fast Cruising and LOADS of Regeneration 34:14 Easy Starlink Install on a Sailboat 35:38 Sunrise and Learning Electrical Tips 39:02 Tensioning the Solent at Sea 40:31 VIP Oil Change at Sea 43:28 Sweet Sunset Sailing in the South China Sea ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #BoatLife #Catamaran #TravelVlog #DigitalNomad #LifeStyle #Sailboats © Gone With the Wynns 2024
