We’re about halfway through our journey from Alaska to Puget Sound, and it’s time to put our assumptions about explorer yachts to the test. On the surface, these boats are big, bold, and undeniably capable. The EarthRoamer of the sea. But do they also live up| Gone With The Wynns
We're wanting to take on high latitude fjords and glaciers with our next floating home, which means we need a proper explorer yacht (sail or motor). And shopping for a vessel dockside is like judging a restaurant by its menu. You get a sense of the possibilities, but| Gone With The Wynns

Last week we stepped aboard a 1965 vintage yacht, but this week? Totally different story. We check out two serious explorer yachts that actually make sense for what we're planning. One that's practically brand new (and way beyond what we can spend) and another that'| Gone With The Wynns

We found ourselves completely smitten with this gorgeous 1965 classic yacht in the Netherlands! With stunning teak decks, beautiful wood details, and that timeless vintage charm, she's everything we love about classic boats. But is she the right liveaboard vessel for us? Is she right for the high latitude chapter| Gone With The Wynns
The big question we keep getting is: “Are you two buying another boat?” The short answer is yes. In this week’s video, we share what’s been happening behind the scenes, the types of boats we’re considering (and why), and what this next| Gone With The Wynns
We thought, how hard could it be to take ourselves on an African safari? Turns out, when the trip starts with a dead battery, black smoke, and zero professional guidance, the answer is: pretty wild. From lions and giraffes to hippos and crocs, and even one very elusive leopard, we| Gone With The Wynns
We're back with part two of our Uganda series, and this one takes us even deeper into the country. Our destination? Teddy's home village in the Mindi district. A place where school happens under trees, bricks are made by hand, and everyone knows everyone. It felt| Gone With The Wynns

Six Texans. Two vehicles that probably shouldn't have passed inspection. One Ugandan (Teddy) who's been waxing on about his home country for years. Not exactly our typical Wynns intro—but then again, this wasn’t our typical trip. We’ve been dreaming up this African adventure for over a year| Gone With The Wynns
What if I told you there's a village where cars are completely banned, roads were never built and everyone travels by boat? Welcome to Giethoorn, Netherlands - a place so unique it feels like stepping into a fairy tale. This isn't some tourist attraction built for| Gone With The Wynns

We’ve said we’re open to all seafaring possibilities for our next big adventure, and we meant it. From sails to steel, we’re exploring every option for a...wait for it...pause for effect...Alaska to Patagonia journey. Which means we need a vessel fit| Gone With The Wynns
