What Happened To Our New Catamaran?
We’re in Cebu, Philippines at the HH Catamarans factory for our first round of warranty repairs. Sadly, things didn’t go as expected.

_____________________________
The boat wasn’t in great shape, many of the jobs didn’t get done, and not all the work done was up to spec.
This is a new factory for HH, and CURIOSITY is the first finished boat they have worked on. So, it was a bit painful and it took far longer than expected. Let's just say it was a series of unfortunate events for all of us.
As you can imagine, everyone at HH feels TERRIBLE about the whole situation. They have assured us that they stand behind their product and their customers.
The Cebu factory now has new management, new systems in place, additional experts, new training programs and has undergone infrastructure changes. Just before we left, we were able to meet Rudy, the new general manager. He is an impressive fellow with 24 years in design and manufacturing in the marine, automotive, aerospace and defense industries. He shared some of his grand plans for the Cebu factory and I do believe him when he says all future work will be up to the high standards HH is known for.
So, while it has been a very stressful and expensive five plus weeks of living out of hotels. We are happy to be back in our home and preparing for our next big passage. Plus, we get to share the journey with some of you, our Curiosity Crew!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
