"Curiosity killed the cat..." the idiom admonishes, and yet it ends with the more uplifting sentiment of "...satisfaction brought it back." We often forget the second half of the idiom. Happy sails, Curiosity! And thank you Wynns for the detailed information. Peace and health to you and yours.

This is seriously the most informational video series on buying a boat and getting out cruising I have ever seen. Great job.

I think that it is great how transparent you guys are being about the whole boat buying process and not shying away when it came to the price. It probably helps a lot of people who are ehhh maybe thinking about buying a boat like this someday, well now they have some real world numbers and they can pursue or not pursue boat ownership as they see fit.

Just found you guys during this CV19 period and it's great viewing. Love how you guys are so transparent, have no sailing experience and documenting everything.. good luck

So happy for you two! Thanks for taking us thru the journey and future journeys.

I have not read all the comments so maybe someone already said this, but I have to say....this is, by far, the most informative explanation of the boat buying process I have run across. Not that I've even run across any (haha)...but, I loved it. Someday I want a boat just like yours and this vlog will "hopefully" be remembered.

Wow, what a process! Congratulations on navigating your way through all the complex details. Thanks for being so open about the cost of everything. Wishing you the Best Of Luck, and a wonderful life aboard your new boat!

So happy for you! I love following your adventures.

Oh you guys are great!!! So glad I found your youtube channel a few months ago. Look forward to seeing you many years down the "sea" and all your adventures and progress!!

I have been so looking forward to your next video. I really feel the excitement for you guy and really enjoy joining you on your journey. thanks.

I love this couple.. Just stumbled on to this and am now ready to renew my dreams of cruising. Have a safe experience on SV Curiosity.

I am happy for you both, I have always dreamed of sailing more than a couple days. Your living my dream. Happy sailing, will be following.

Congratulations!🎉. Thank you for all the the details and really sharing this process. Your spirit of adventure is inspiring! You always do your research and go in with your eyes wide open. You're young, healthy, intelligent, and adventurous, you have it all! Thanks for taking us along!❤️

Now that is an outstanding , well thought out tutorial on purchasing a sailboat..You two brought up several things that never even came close to being analyzed by my brain.....thank you!

Thank you for the update! I really appreciate the honest details about the process. Congratulations!

Congrats guys! As a long time boater, I can hardly wait to follow your upcoming adventures.

Nikki & Jason, CONGRATS!!!! I'm glad you have purchased the boat & the insurance!!!! Sounds like this was VERY complicated!!! WOW!!! SSSOOO happy that you are on your way to learning how to sail!!! Praying your training goes SUPER!!! :)

Vincent Maturo Ditto. It's great to sail the seas vicariously. Don't have to get sunburned.

WOW thanks for the insight. I love you guys because you give honest details. I can not wait till the sea videos come in.

congrats on the new purchase ...many safe and adventurous travels to you both

Very informative! A year ago I took that 1-week catamaran sailing class with BWSS - you will LOVE it! Some of the best money I ever spent. Enjoy the journey...

Thank you again for sharing so much detail and putting it out there for us. It sounds like a great adventure and skill set to learn. I treat elderly and the happiest people are the ones who went for it and lived. The most bitter are the ones who stayed home and did nothing. Enjoy going for it!

You guys are amazing!!!! Congrats on your new sailboat!!! So exciting. And thanks also for sharing all the details about the process and finances. Best of luck!

What a cool adventure. Looking forward to watching future videos.

Wow!! That's great news. I'm so excited to watch your journey!!😄😄😄

You guys have it together! So glad I just found this channel!

Just a delightful video ! Enjoyed the in-depth explanation of the entire buying experience. You are on your way to a new experience, best of luck on your new adventures.

Congratulations on the boat. We are a few years from making the jump to a boat. I appreciate the info and the experiences that you have shared. I look forward to your adventures.

Your videos are like good wine - the older it is - the better it gets. Thank you for being transparent with the boating buying process. You two are such a lovely and entertaining coupler. Wish you the best with your current refit in New Zealand and god speed with your adventure.

Looking forward to seeing you adventures! Good luck!

This is fascinating seeing the work involved to “live your dream” !

Congrats on your new purchase! :) Good luck with your new adventures on the seas! Can't wait to see your video when you're on your way! Cheers!

I love that you named it Curiosity! Your channel is very informative. Love it.

So happy and excited for y'all.

Congratulations on your new purchase.I have enjoyed your videos on being an RV owner and look forward to your new videos on being boat captains.Always informational and entertaining.Thank you for the effort you put into doing these videos.

Congrats to you both! I am very happy for you!

Sounds like you really clicked with the right people, and your experience and sharing could help anyone in their quest to buy a boat. Although I have no interest in owning a boat, if I ever hear of someone looking I will point them to your website and KZread channel.

My wife and have been enjoying watching y'all go through the buying process! It's great to see a couple our age making it happen instead of just dreaming. We are a few years out on our boat budget but we are making it happen. We will be in the south FL area soon for some more sailing classes so maybe we will get to wave as we sail bye. Thank for all the great info!

Fantastic informative video. I just went through this whole process also. Your video really spells out the process to expect for new sailboat purchasers....no candy coating. I look forward to the new sailing adventures. Take it slow and take the time to learn everything about your new sailboat and sailing. Congratulations!

This was great for me, a whole lot of things I was needing to know and now do! I will be saving up to get a boat "someday" but wow so many things I didn't know. THANK YOU!!!

Congratulations! I look forward to your on the ocean life videos!

I wish you luck and safe travels for your future time on the sea !! Thx so much for your awesome videos and letting us know the big and small facts of your boat buying process.

congratulations on getting your boat, looking forward to your on the water adventures

Good Luck! Looking forward to following your new adventures.

Congrats! Thanks for taking us along for he purchase process.

Best video on the process. Good job. Finally getting caught up on the videos.

Congrats! Love the name of your boat. It's brilliant!

Congratulations guys! I can't wait to see a video with boat tour. Also really looking forward to all the new adventures.... And keep those RV tips coming as long as you can.

Congrats and looking forward to enjoying your adventures and they unfold and you share. God bless and keep you safe.

Thank you for your transparency with costs and details of what you went through with your purchase. Mazel tov and Godspeed.

Negotiations to me are intimidating. A necessary part of life. Happy Things are going well for you. 👍👍

Good luck guys, can't wait to follow your adventures afloat.

I'm thinking seriously of living in an RV; in part because of your videos. I'm going to miss your RV stories. I am going to love to see your sailing adventures though!

Congrats and hope to see you in the Keys!

We created a SERIOUSLY in-depth article that goes into way more detail than our conversation captured here on video. If you're looking to purchase a cruising boat of any kind (motor, sail, mono, cat) we list out just about every step along with the costs and the people we hired to help along the way. I hope you find it helpful in your planning process. Here's the link to our website post: www.gonewiththewynns.com/exhausting-journey-buying-cruising-sailboat

So how can they kick you out of Florida for so long, after your extension? I didn't understand that part, it's not like Florida is a different country, plus isn't being on the ocean not technically in the state?

+foxrace0985 If we stay longer than 6 months they would consider florida the location for our boat and we'd be required to pay FL sales tax...which is a lot of money.

+Gone with the Wynns Thanks for answering, that's what I didn't understand, also. Damn, anything to get that tax money. You have to cats? Import fees, $100 each. Leaving Florida? We need another $100s for those cats... export fees. lol

Thank you for including us in your life. :) Meaning thanks for being so honest and informative with your fans. Wow - I have learned SO much from you guys and continue to. We're hoping to go full time on the ROAD soon - not sure if we'll ever go full time on the open see but who knows - maybe that's the natural progression of things. Just once again thanks for sharing and educating. :)

Love these adventures of yours. So happy for you both!!

Great video. Kudos on being willing to share in some of the details that are personal in nature and giving up how you made it happen.

Congrats to you both, I'm so excited for you. I'm boatless at the moment, but have owned four in my time, yes they are expensive, but, and it's a big BUT, I have a life time of fantastic memories and in my opinion you can't put a price on that. I'm very much looking forward to seeing your adventures. Wishing you fairs winds and tides.

I've been watching your vids on rv life for just a few months. I'm about to do a solar install on my big truck and your vids helped a lot. I've always wanted to sail a cat and I think I will charter one sometime in the future. Congratulations on your find. I love the Leopard 43 layout. Keep posting as much as you can. You 2 are full of great information and you do it in a very classy way. Have fun in the sun.

Awesome. Congratulations. Fair Winds. Btw, love the his and hers glasses.

Congratulations! I love the new name...it has a special meaning to me as well. I inherited my Granny's dishes and they are named "The Old Curiosity Shop". The dinner plate has a picture of The Old Curiosity Shop depicted by Charles Dickens and all the other pieces have little items you could find in the shop such as a clock, pair of glasses.... Congratulations again and I look forward to your new adventures!

So happy for you two. This Adventure has been awesome. Looking forward to more of Y'alls videos. Big Smile. :)

This video is very informative. You guys rock for sharing all of your experiences with us! I'm sure filming and editing videos were an added complication through your boat buying process. So happy its over for you guys...it's BEAUTIFUL. Congrats & sounds very exciting! ! I've been following you since my husband and I went to full time RV life in 2013. We are both in our early 30's. We recently bought a home and still have our 19ft (134sqft) travel trailer we full timed in. Still have an itch to go back on the road!

Thanks for being so forthcoming on the details. Very interesting

Thank you for this video. It's very interesting to hear about the process.

Congratulations! Looking forward to watching your transition form land to sea.

Congratz! you're truly an inspiration. I'm excited for you for sure.

Congratulations! Can't wait for the learning-part!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing so much info. Looking forward to the new videos.

Congrats! Our family would go on sailing vacations instead of camping when our children were little (5-15) on the east coast. My first experience with a catamaran was enlightening. We were going out one morning for a few days after stocking up, and a sailing instructor and his class were also left a little bit before us. I was steering with my cup of coffee on the seat beside me, family was down below puttering around. As I easily passed them, I looked at the sailing class: they were all holding on for dear life heeling over, no coffee cups to be seen. I never went back to monohulls. I new it was a success when our children started inviting their friends. (even with no cell phone, radio, tv, etc) and they all loved it. Of course, bugger boats required :)

Awesome Sauce you two! I'm ready for the adventure with 'ya!

congratulations!! curiosity. look forward to following your journey.

Really great vlog, enjoying it. Keep sailing!

Loved this! Being so transparent with the costs, etc.. nothing to hide. Old video but I'm jusr catching up!

Wow guys I'm so excited about your new boat and your next adventures. I'll keep following you guys as long as you don't leave me in suspense lol

I hope you are ready to face heavy seas . congratulations and good luck.Dont forget Safety First ..

More adventures with The Wynns! Glad to see you two "navigating" the pits and snares of this new venture! Can't wait to see the various locations that you'll take us to! : )

Congrats! Good luck with the transition too.

Great video guys & thanks for all the heads up information on purchasing a boat etc.

Cool Name ;-) And congrats with the your "NEW" super nice vessel!!

Thanks, I really appreciate the detailed information. Good luck in your adventure.

This was great you guys!!!!! Thanks for all the tips and insight.

Thanks for all the great videos. My wife and I are wanting to spend 6 months out of the year on a catamaran when we retire. I enjoy watching the process. It's funny that a lot of people comment on here about "how expensive it is to run a boat". While this is true, it pretty much goes without saying though. Nobody buys a sailboat without looking into maintenance and operating costs. Congrats and enjoy the boat!

Thanks for being honest and that everything doesn't go according to plan.

Looks like a Wynn win. Seriously you guys are great. Thoroughly enjoyed this video 😊.

Looking back at some of your older vids. Great stuff. Y’all got a great deal on the boat! Been looking for a similar boat... :-)

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to make this!

You guys were lucky to get a knowledgable broker, a friendly owner, and a detail focused surveyor.

Thank you both for your information, I am looking at doing what you are doing. I will go for a single hull though.

This is so informative as we are moving toward the purchase of our own yacht. Thank you for the video!

Thanks for the great info -- my wife and I are looking to buy a sailboat sometime in the near future and your research will be put to good use!

Loving the New Adventure !♡!

Congrats & Fair Winds!

thanks guys for being so honest about the whole process, good luck with your catamaran:)

I know one of your concerns voiced in a previous video about RV's was the lack of many people your age in the community. Viewing your recent videos cause me to reconsider my purchase of an RV. Instead I might wish to buy a 45-50 ft sailboat, obtain ASA certification, and pursue other more expansive dreams. Different community entirely. So, I am about to join your age concerns, but on the opposite end of the spectrum at the age of 65. I doubt I will encounter many newbies at this age, but I like that. I like it a lot and will like it every year I continue. Thanks for a great video!

Congratulations ! Look forward to the next update.
