SELF-RELIANCE AS A SAILOR (remote island living)
Today’s story is about being out on the water, in the islands, and taking advantage of what mother nature provides. From collecting rainwater to foraging with a friend and using stored power from the sun to have a date night on the deck.

WHO ARE WE?
We’re Jason and Nikki Wynn. We 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’m not trying to be rude and I love the vids you guys make but the part where Jason is telling Nikki she can’t open the coconuts irks me soooo bad!! If he wants dinner so badly why can’t he start it himself? Pizza is not hard to make. Jason you’re a big boy, don’t start treating Nikki like she’s your mother.
I love that you're watching the 80 north series that Delos did and included it in here! I love the comraderies from the sailing community!! I miss Brady :(
However the days grow longer while some people’s lives are worth as much as ever
What are you deck chairs that you are using on the bow? I see them in a number of videos.

Thanks for sailing with us!
She's gonna lose a thumb! yikes
And take a look at the Isotta housings for GoPro... won't fog up nearly as much.
Nauticam housings are outstanding. There are a number of housing manufacturers that have vacuum pumps to build a negative pressure seal within their housings.
Hold the cheese still in one hand and drag the grater across it- way easier!!
Ooh that pizza looks delicious. Nice way to chill out.
Nice video - THANKs!
that cray was food, snatch him
They should make cheese. It's fun.

Ok who tough you guys to make pizza? First you never roll your pizza dough. always hand toss it. While I think I understand why you replaced the traditionally sauce with BBQ sauce I think you put way to much on. BBQ sauce is met to be brushed on not smeared on with a shovel and a trowel. your toppings should always go on before your cheese. and speaking of cheese. GOUDA! REALLY? I can see it now Italian world wide are cussing you out in Italian for making such a blunder....hahahaha
I don't know why but I can't wrap my mind around a super friendly But deadly venomous sea snake. 🤔🤯🐍🐉⬅️dragon emoji too. 😁
omg, NEVER play chicken with machete and your holding hand! either secure the object you want to cut so it doesnt move and use both hands on the machete, or place machete on object you wanna cut, and slam the object and machete onto the ground , so you avoid risk of cutting yourself.
This is couple goals if I’ve ever seen it
Pineapple growing in the garden 😍 paradise 😊
You guys are so good natured!
Please advise the music used in this video during the snorkeling scenes. Good stuff!!
Try Fog X to stop your camera from fogging up. Or if you can find the dish soap made with pumice like they sell in "3rd world" countries it helps stop car windows from fogging up. I've seen Costa Ricans apply a thin layer inside car windows and it works. Or it's better than nothing.. Y'all are making me miss living in the tropics! I drank fermented pineapple there and it was awesome. My friend called it chicha de piña. Chicha is any fermented fruit or corn that isn't distilled. Thanks for the memory, I hadn't thought of chicha in a while.
Beautiful! I love the video!
I Know I have only just joined you guy's. But OMG! That coconut cutting bit freaked me out. Sit down and hold it between your feet, with shoes on or folded towel so your protected and it can't roll away. Better still a Y shaped bit of tree wood to hold it so NO ! body parts are near that blade or hay de - husk them on the beach. Thombs are important, they need love to. Sorry to be an old Nanny!
Love your editing of the footage (cut always, music, etc). Great job!
Anybody knows where to buy those foldable chairs?

wow,i like ur video u 'r very nice person😊👍
this debate exceed far to long and far wide from east to west... the challenge is make a pineapple pizza. and eat it and describe it. i saw a pineapple in your boat that is why.. :)
just amazing! loved the music and the editing to the underwater shots. Need tips on startup video eqpt. for just journaling my new Solo Horizons RV adventures, cellphone/gimble and what is that tablet stand with speaker?! How would I capture the wonderful cooking shots solo? I would love to just have this for my kids and grandchildren. I'm thinking my grandson would love to learn to fly a drone and he's already good with a camera at age 6 1/2! so when he goes along that would be fun to capture. Picking up my travel trailer this week! and completely overwhelmed.

Good luck with the big adventure! 💙💛💙
Accent needs work but good effort. You'll be welcome in Australia. Take care.
In my experience when a camera case leaks it's nearly always due to something tiny that got caught up in the seal. Last time for me it was an eyelash.
I use to live in Tonga... what a wonderful set of islands.

I watched this video when it came out and I loved the idea of a barbecue pizza. John and I both eat vegan and tonight I decided to make a barbecue pizza and it was fantastic. Mushrooms, onions, pepper and cheese. Topped it off with strawberry cheesecake bites. Stay safe and love your channel.
The scenery is so beautiful and stunning.Very enjoyable! Reminds me of my trips where I take the good music like the Guns N Roses, Imagine Draongs or the Delta Parole and then enjoy the powerful feeling of the sea. ¡vamos!
You guys are the reason I got into the rv lifestyle .I'm glad you're following your dreams but I miss you guys. 🙏🏿🙏🏿Safe travels 🙏🏿❤
Having a poisonous sea snake inspecting my dinghy. What a conversation.
Nice 🍈 🍈 lol
That pizza is a one person serving
Since you're in 🇹🇴, I bet you could find someone to teach you how to peel the husk off of a coconut 🥥 .... I have freinds and family in Vava'u if you need a connection.
can smell the sweetness in the air with you guys, may love surround you always...
Love how guys were watching Delos!
Looked everywhere on the GWTW.com site for your cookbook! Your cooking looks so good and we need the recipes please. Have you considered editing a cookbook? Or include the recipes in the show more and content sections?

Well you may want to get your eyes checked because there's a recipe tab on the sailing page of the blog: www.gonewiththewynns.com/sailing There aren't a ton of recipes there because Nikki is more of a "fly by the seat of the pants" cook, but maybe we'll get a cookbook someday. Curious Minion

Music is always listed in order of appearance In the description box.
Whoa,she looked up at you as she was cutting that coconut husk.
Heat is your friend, condensation is from warm humid air hitting a cold surface (the glass).
You guys should try a coconut husk remover if you do get lots of coconuts. Safer and saves time. usplan.info/two/video/lqSlr259gZPYfmc.html
A nice peaceful video - well done! As always you guys provide a nice escape for your viewers.
So glad I came across this channel. Sending good vibes guys🤙🏼 stay safe
Amazing per usual! The music in the video was super fun and enjoyable!
Pretty underwater videos, but I would never go in the water, sharks!
Immediately after watching “one of the most poisonous snakes in the world” swim away, says “let’s go swimming.” 😱😬😳

That’s what I thought!!! I would be sooo scared
Kudos on that amazing pizza! Wonderful video (as always).
I can’t watch the machete!! Omg it brings out the Mom in me... careful lol!! Yummy fruit
once it's finished you've got some nice, cheese-flavored olive oil for salads or whatever.... Bon appetite!!!!
As always a wonderful video, thanks you guyz. Im gonna have to beng watch you this coming weekend 😆
That is not how you open a dry husk coconut my friend.
You could have put some of that pineapple on the pizza! It’s Canadian eh. Love the channel.

Would putong rice grains in the housing keep the dampness down and maybe less fog
The sea krait isn't poisonous it is venomous.....a real heart stopped of an animal

Yes but technically you'll suffocate before your heart stops.
Another amazing video! Nikki is amazing and classy. Jason is a goofball and very lucky, but I'm sure he knows that. Keep up the good work.
Such good videos to watch in these challenging times while we on lockdown ,stay safe everyone xx
Sailing uma is worth a look
The machete ands your fingers... Wow!! You were scaring me!!
I am Australian and I couldn’t stop laughing at the accent 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love how yall are watching the Delos clan at the Arctic!
Nice knife and machete skills ! 👩🏻🍳
So much LOL at the end!
You are going to chop your fingers off.

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
The question is would you have a seven year old boy hold the coconut while you were hitting it with a machete ? Why would the life long use of you hand be any less important? Rule number 1 is always keep your body behind the tool! Throw the machete away it, it has no place on a boat. It's used for clearing fields not handwork. You both are too important to us to get maimed. By the way I'm 20 min from a hospital, how about you?
Happy-er than a clam sitting at the bottom of the Chesapeake bay passing clam gas...
20 seconds in and I'm in love with the hat! I want that hat. And such white teeth! Amazing teeth. Hey. I'm British, we notice things like that; teeth, and trimmed eyebrows on men. Strange
A small piece of paper towel will help with fog moisture
I hope Brian, Kazza and the Nugget watches The Wynns too. O almost forgot Brady and Blue too.
High tide. Because people go clamming at low tide. At high tide, no one is digging for clams!
It’s so wonderful to see you back at home!!! Thank you both for your commitment to this channel. I look forward to seeing you every week.
Thats amazing .
Absolutely gorgeous.
Question.... Do curious snakes come aboard while sleeping?
Gone with the Wynns
2 months ago
NO! Absolutely not. And if you have proof they do, don't tell me!
As you were enjoying your movie, wine, and pizza that snake has made it's way onto your boat..... Nice looking pizza😊
Your thumb is too close!
Do you have a vacuum cleaner with hose attachment? Do you have large ZipLock bags? Place the camera and a small desiccant bag in housing, but do not close the door, then place in the ZipLock bag. Place the end of the vacuum hose into the bag and turn on the vacuum. After the air in the bag is evacuated, close & secure the camera case. This should resolve your fogging problem.
killers yikes
I thought the sound at the begining was fire. "How come fire and rain sometimes sound the same?"
That pizza looked amazing.
Next time you’re in a place where you can get Amazon packages, you should get a cast splitter. That’s what I’ve used to open coconuts once you hit it with a knife.
be really brilliant if you hit 500k views with this vlog guys - you did it - congrats xx
Strewth mate, your accent ain't fair dinkum, when you come and visit us in Straya well get it sorted, it will be ridgey didge then Cobba.
Nikki: I was literally watching you chop that coconut though my fingers as I covered my face with my palm. Always love your episodes!!!
