For months now, our boat has been living a double life, caught somewhere between bureaucracy and ancient maritime tradition. This week, we’re finally revealing her new name, the meaning behind it, and why we technically can’t make it official just yet. It’s a name that feels like the natural evolution of our curiosity. But it turns out, you can’t just rename a boat without answering to both the government and Poseidon. ----------------- WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity. 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. Things We're Most Curious About... GETTING OFF-GRID Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so. TALKING TO STRANGERS People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment. Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving. ALTERNATIVE LIVING These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community. Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity Timestamps if you like to Jump Around: 00:00 Deceiving the Authorities and Sea Gods 00:33 Great Boat But Not A Perfect Name 01:36 Superstitious Sailors Say DON’T CHANGE THE NAME 02:26 An Accidental Offering to the Gods? 02:53 The Boat Renaming Ceremony 05:44 A New Name But… 06:57 The Meaning Behind a Boat Name? 11:49 Action Camera Recovery Mission ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #Travel #BoatLife #LifeStyle #Adventure #exploreryacht #Sailing #Curiosity #trawler © Gone With the Wynns 2026
