MOVE IN AND GET OUT OF CHINA!
China Catamaran Sailing: Xiamen Departure
The Wynns' China sailing adventure: A whirlwind move onto their new catamaran, prepping for open ocean, and celebrating Nikki's birthday amidst the excitement.
It’s been 2 years since we put down a deposit for our HH44 Catamaran. Now the big acceptance day is finally here, and we don’t have even a moment to soak it all in. We have exactly 4 days to move into a brand-new boat, prepare for our first big passage, provision up and sail out of China. It’s a tall order. 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: Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same.
