We’ve been feeling seasick but, in a homesick kind of way. Like a fish out of water, we start drying out and struggle to breathe if we’ve been away too long. So, to say this past year has left us parched would be an understatement.
Our boat is still a couple of months away from us being able to move aboard and sail away. Patience has never been my virtue.
And, it’s our 17th wedding anniversary celebration! So, we decided to quench our thirst and do something we have never done before. Charter a boat.
Which is funny because the first thing we tell people when they ask us for advice on how to get into sailing is: Look for a sailing club near you, take a sailing course and/or charter a boat.
If you’ve been following along for a while, then you already know we didn’t do any of this when we started. We bought a boat, then learned how to sail and only joined in our first sailing club race last year. We’ve also been known to roll boulders uphill, but we don’t advise it. It’s our public service, we do things the hard way, so you don’t have to.
Typically, we don’t recommend anything we haven’t personally experienced. Yet we’ve been encouraging people to charter a boat for years. In theory it’s a good idea but what is the reality? What is the cost? Is it worth the cost?
We’re about to find out. Join us in Phuket, Thailand as we set sail for a week on our first sailing charter.

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
