It’s been a while since we’ve given you an update on our new HH44 catamaran and this is a big one!

☝Full Scoop On The Blog
The whole factory experience was a lot more in-depth and expansive than we ever anticipated. We have so much footage, we could have made this a one-hour episode! Because we didn’t even get to the design team with their high-performance 3D printers, the training on winch maintenance, or how hatches are made. But that just means we have a few more pearls to share with you later.
But most importantly, the trip was a success, and we feel like we have a from-the-ground-up understanding of the day-to-day equipment we will trust to safely take us around the world on our sailboat. Hopefully, you do too! And I don’t have to tell you how excited we will be to see our new boat’s beautiful, flat, toughened glass windows. Because we still get a slight nervous tick just thinking about re-bedding our old windows.😵💫

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
