Got Stamina? Until now, we honestly didn't know. I guess we just haven't been playing with our dinghy enough! 😉

Today we're putting our electric bo motor to the test - no fancy lab conditions, just real cruiser life. We're hitting the water to see exactly what our electric setup can handle while doing all the things we normally do: exploring coastlines, finding snorkel spots, and getting into a bit of trouble (because what's an adventure without something unexpected?).
We hadn't intended on a "tool time" segment but then again, we never do. But hey, we said we wanted this to be a "normal" day of cruising…and getting things stuck up your intake is about as normal as it gets. Right?! Plus Jason somehow volunteered himself for a man overboard drill at 17 knots! It's a good reminder not to make statements you aren't willing to back up. His pucker effect and landing was… well, you'll see.
We share our honest thoughts on "range anxiety," all our data collected and even which speeds give us the most efficient performance.
____________
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
