In this weeks video, we take you behind the scenes of life on a fully decked-out solar-electric catamaran. We share what worked brilliantly, what we would change, and the surprising performance of this high tech setup. From real-time speed and power tests to honest impressions of noise levels, daily energy consumption, and typical life at anchor-we touch on it all. Whether you're dreaming of an electric boat or just curious how this hybrid cruiser handles life off the grid, this is one is for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Timestamps if you like to Jump Around: 00:00 After 2 Weeks of Sailing It's Over 00:44 George Town Bahamas is the Party Spot 02:51 The Windelo 54 Hybrid Electric Catamaran 03:35 Sailing With a Forward Cockpit 04:14 Solar On The Deck & Solar Performance 04:45 A Cautionary Tale for Creators 06:54 Full Electric Motor Speed Test 08:13 How Loud are the Electric Motors & Generator? 11:26 How Often Did We Run the Generator on the Windelo? 12:43 The Perfect Sailboat for the Tropics? 13:33 Inventive Drop-Down Transom 13:45 One Thing I'd Change on the Windelo 15:20 This Tender Is Not For Us 16:12 Leaving the Bahamas & Second Star ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #BoatLife #Catamaran #Sailboat #Travel #LifeStyle © Gone With the Wynns 2025
