Aging is to me a perplexing process. It seems that no matter how old your body gets your spirit, soul, whatever you call your inner self, stays basically the same. It’s sort of like riding around in a car to me. The vehicle gets older and starts breaking down over the years but the passenger inside ages much more slowly. Remember that the next time you’re around someone in their 80’s. Inside that old body is a much younger driver. Lol

You guys are about the ages of our kids (43 and 41), so please take this as some fatherly advice-find a way to get those basic health checks each year to catch any potential problems early…they’re vital to continuing your fantastic lifestyle and each other for a long time. Happy birthday and anniversary!

I hear a Dishwasher is a fantastic birthday and anniversary present! Wishing you a wonderful birthday Jason and happy anniversary to you both! I hope this next trip around the sun is full of adventures and growth. You two are a breath of fresh air.

You guys are off to a great start in life. Don't rush it, experience it, and love the ones you are going to die with. I've been to 64 countries, lived in 5, married 55 years and 76 years old and going strong! Remember, you only get one shot! Keep taking advantage of it! Love your videos.

Happy birthday, Jason. And Happy Anniversary to both of you. Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us.

Happy birthday Jason. Hope your dream of a dishwasher comes true.

back in the 80' I was in Taiwan and had the honor of being invited to a formal tea ceremony. over 100 different teas and light snacks. lasted about 4 hours and the entire 5000+ history of China was narrated. One of the finest events of my life! If you have the opportunity to attend do so!

As an old fart of 64 I have learned one thing. Never be afraid of growing old because there is only one alternative for that. Besides, between the ears you always stay about 18. Enjoy life the way you two are doing and thank you for sharing that with us. Happy anniversary and birthday.

42? You look 30... Rockin' it, Jason. Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary. 👏

This town is so cute - it's nothing what I would think China looks like. I usually picture really rural or super urban but not this. Also I think it's so cool how everyone gathers and does public exercises. I wish that was more normal especially for older folks in the U.S.

Happy birthday Jason! Youth is an outward perception. The soul God gave us is eternal. That sense of adventure and wonder was in you the same when you were 8 and will be with you when you are 80. Treat your body well and it will carry your bucket list well past 80!

Wow, wow, wow! A walk in a park at night with no fear. This was so fantastic, flora and fauna, snails and kitties, this must be utopia!

Happy Birthday Jason! You're a very young looking 42!! Happy Anniversary to you both too! Here's to many more years together.

XIAMEN is absolutely beautiful and fascinating. Thank you for sharing this part of China. My wanderlust is piqued. Thank you for this gift to us in celebration of Jason's birthday. All good wishes.

❤this is my all time favorite video you have shared with all of us! I am sure you will look back on this many years from now and it will bring you right back to this time and place. Magical…beautiful…thank you for showing me a place like this that I will never be able to visit personally. You presented it wonderfully!

I have watched you guys from the time you left the motorhome. I don't think I've ever missed any week since. All your work is wonderful, this show was I believe the best. Happy birthday Jason.

Happy anniversary, and happy birthday Jason 🎉. I remember the moment I went from “young” to “old”. Usual and habitual moment of having a drink with my mates in a loud pub, music blaring. I was 36 and exclaimed, “shall we go somewhere quieter so we can chat properly?” That was it, I’d turned the corner, and like my dad before me, started telling my son to turn the heating down, closing doors, and flushing toilets properly 😂

Happy Birthday Jason! 🎂 and Happy 17th Anniversary to you both! ⛵️

You guys are not old and are still almost newlyweds. I’m 80, married 58 years and been following your adventures since before RVing to Alaska. I want to see your new boat (almost as much as you) and your future adventures.

Happy Birthday! I’m 70 and my wife & I are taking AG-1 on your recommendation! Stopped taking a lot of pills. Thank you! After 55 years together, we are still exploring (mostly by RV). Keep going and inspiring others to travel.

Just turned 62 the day before Jason. Keep exercising & doing dental care. Both get harder to maintain with age. Thanks for sharing this very interesting stay in this particular community.

Happy birthday, happy anniversary, and that’s a heck of a lot of solar!!😂 Have to say I’m really enjoying this land-based series. China gets a hard run sometimes in the media and it’s nice to see it from an “insider” perspective.

You two are ageless, and will continue to be ageless only if you live every day to the fullest and don't think about the number!

Nikki and Jason - Congrats on hitting the big 42. I just turned 70 a few weeks ago, and basically, had the same conversation with myself, as you guys did. I too, have always appeared to others to be about 10 years younger than I am, just as I had you guys pegged for about 32. I actually didn't like that until I hit 50 and looked 40, which was still a respectable enough age to not be considered 'a kid', regarding, well, grown-up things (business, contracts, etc). Finally, I got to sit at the 'adults' table, at holiday meals. I do often sit at the kid's table, even now, but just because a bunch a kids, are usually a lot more fun to sit and dine with, than a bunch of grown-ups. As with you guys (or so it appears), I too have been fortunate in basically, being healthy throughout it. I did have a ruptured appendix, a sports hernia and I passed a kidney stone once, but all of that was between my ages of 14 and 17, with no further issues, or kidney stones, since. I still have all my teeth, minus the two upper wisdom teeth, as I see my Dentist 3 times a year, and have done, for the last 30 years. I still have most of my hair (slightly thinning) and upon close inspection, I do have a few gray hairs on my head, barely noticeable, but with many more in my salt and pepper beard. I've never had stitches, but for surgeries, and I've only broken one bone in my life, an ankle, when I was 53. I have had a few spinal injuries, all sailing related, and with proper exercise, they are under control, and don't cause me any serious issues. To celebrate turning 70, and since it had been 20 years, I decided to (and did), find a recommended Doctor, to get a proper 'Annual' Physical. I passed with flying colors, as much as can be determined with that sort of physical, and blood work, but for one thing. The Doctor detected a slight heart murmur (that I've had since birth). All the Doctors I've been examined by before, who knew enough to notice it, have all said, at this point (being in the past), 'It's not a problem now, but it could become one, in the future'. I told this to my current Doctor, and he agreed with that, and altho he too, didn't see it as a problem of the 'now', and as I told him that I haven't experienced any problem with it, he said, 'Yeah, but you've never been 70 before, so let's take a look at it'. Once I had an idea of what was involved, to the surprise of everyone who knows me, including myself, I agreed to do it. Basically, I handed myself over to the medical profession, for an amazingly extended battery of tests. Oddly, to me, only requiring one needle, and all the while, no one ever wanted to see me naked, which I thought kinda odd. Am I that reprehensible? Where has my beauty gone? For whatever reason, the bill for this 'exam', of all exams, has totaled at least $30,000 (actually, a bit more), of which my co-pay is $0, for anything. Even the parking was free. All it cost me, was to give myself over, and the gas to get there. True. as I told them, I wouldn't do it any otherwise. That's just how it is. Having painted myself into this corner of giving advice, do as you're doing. Live, eat, work and play well. Pay attention to yourself, as I know you already do, and if you sense something wrong, and normal remedies don't cure it, go see a Doctor. Of course, as well, if extreme, get a second opinion, even if only WebMD. Remember, you hire Doctors for their expertise, for their skills, as well, for their insights and opinions. Not meant to say that you want them to make up your mind for you, which many Doctors, often suppose you do, but rather you should remind them, they are only the third opinion, at best. Keep on your toes, and your Doctor's toes, as well. Point being, after all the MRIs, CAT scans, and just plain old-fashioned X-rays, EKGs, Echo Cardiograms, and extraordinary blood work (with only one needle, I might add), they had thoroughly inspected my body, inside and out, upside and down, and wrote in their report, minute details, that only I would know. Stuff that gets by standard Doctors, in standard physicals, such as a slightly herniated naval (just another boat wound), being not obvious by sight. Nor was it a problem to me, other than I am aware of it, but, it was picked up on by them, and noted on, to my surprise. Thru this extensive physical exam, they had exact measurements of every opening and closing, every orifice of my body, being there some others more, that I never even knew I had. Basically, if I had any cancer or something other, brewing in me, it would have been picked up, which is why I agreed to go thru it, forget about the heart murmur. I feared they might either find my colon clogged by tumors or my liver and kidneys, fighting it out, the winner yet to be determined. I gave them (the medical profession), every chance in hell, to find something wrong with me, and other than for the heart murmur, and slightly herniated navel, they found nothing. I'd be lying, if I told you that did calm me, as I was convinced I was going to need open-heart surgery, if not open ass, more or worse. Sorry, I'm rambling. The point is, what you are experiencing now at 42, is going to continue to happen, hopefully, going forward. The idea of getting your Annual Physical more frequently than once every 20 years, is probably a good one, but what you guys are doing, in terms of physical exercise (as even just sleeping on a boat, is, but also), eating well, and not shooting too many Martinis, or heroin, is probably a good choice, barring a need of extreme prevarication. I'll shut up now, but PS - the snail footage was amazing

It was lovely of Hudson to give you that birthday lunch, what a generous man! I love that he strives to do the best quality in everything he does. Your boat looks amazing already. The solar is excellent! Happy Birthday and Anniversary!🎂

Whatever you may be missing in the life of a 'sticks & bricks' existence, is more than compensated by this global & casual (more or less) life you have chosen. Fun to observe from here. Happy birthday to you.

My daughter lived in Beijing for 6 years, teaching English. I went to visit her after she had been there for 12 months, and stayed with her in her apartment. One morning I asked her where something was in her kitchen, and she said, "I don't know, I never go in there." She lived an a good area of Beijing and there were restaurants/cafes everywhere, so her and her friends ate out every night. Re getting old. My daughter returned to New Zealand with end stage kidney failure. Because of her blood type, she needed a donor with O blood type. After a lot of tests and then the Covid pandemic, we finally had the operation. I was told that I was one on the healthiest 64 year olds they had seen in a long time. Two years later (beginning of this year), I had a massive heart attack (blood clot) that I was told I was very lucky to survive. Age/health wasn't really a factor, but it did make me realise that I am getting older. Not something I had really thought about before.

I'm 30 years older than both, but watching you grow older together makes me feel younger. Good job on another interesting video. Happy anniversary to you both.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jason. Another Tour around the Sun. Happy Anniversary guys.

Happy birthday Jason!!!🎉🎈🎂 and Happy 17th wedding anniversary to you both!!!

A middle-class person today has more comfort and entertainment in his home than the King of England had in the middle ages and even so people have more depression today than then, having more stuff won't make you happier, I did 42 years old in April and I realized that I spent most of my time looking for happiness in the next car or the next trip, think about it.

I’ve been wondering your ages for years! I’m 40 and have always wondered, “Are they younger than me?” I would have guessed 38 for you both. Well done! 🎂 Also, Happy Anniversary! ❤

So glad I’m not the only one who consults Ze Frank when I have nature questions!!!

Happy Anniversary to you both and Happy Birthday to Jason!! 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 My Dad turns 99 this year and his motto is, "it's only a number!" You two are great and your adventures over the years have been amazing!! I started watching y'all about 6 months before the transition to the sailboat. So of course I had to go back to the beginning of your you-tube life!! We can't wait to see all the adventures to come with the HH!!!

Same for the hubby and I. 20 years together and 17 years married. You’re right. It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long at all. Congratulations and may you have many more years together. I’m loving seeing the city.

I’m enjoying you two being closer to Australia, I get to watch your videos before the northern hemisphere wakes up (well that’s my story and I’m sticking to it 🙂) Jason whispering “snail sex” cracked me up. And love darts 🤣 Thanks again for sharing your adventures, such a beautiful beautiful place. Oh, and don’t over think turning 42, save that until your 52. ❤ P.s that may have been a giant Sunset Moth

Happy birthday Jason, and yes you made the right decision, going for 48V, that will be the standard in all EVs and others, so easy to use 48V Motors they don't give up that soon, but if that will be in my lifetime don't know. Anyway nice video and power

Happy Birthday, Jason! I appreciate Nikki’s moment of keeping it real and admitting that ya’ll don’t always follow everything by the book when it comes to preventative health care. Good health is often something that one takes for granted until you don’t have it. If anything I can convey, please pay attention to your heart health. My boyfriend died suddenly and unexpectedly at 41 from a medical emergency related to undiagnosed silent atherosclerosis. The heartache I would not wish on anyone. Please, for each other, make it a priority to stay on the planet as long as you can for each other. You owe this to each other and to this amazing life that you’ve built. 💜🙏 Sorry. I didn’t want to be “that person” but it is better to have the peace of mind of confirmation of good health. I wish you both the very best and many more happy years together.

Happy birthday Jason - FYI you are older, not old. Old is a state of mind- your young heart will see you through the aging process. Best wishes and keep’em coming!

I feel you man, I'm a few months shy of my 45th, my biggest 'I really am getting older' shock came the first time I got my hair cut and they asked if I also wanted my eyebrows trimming... Nooooo!

Happy Birthday Jason and happy anniversary to both of you.

Oh you kids, we will both be 70 and married 50 years, we have been living through you since the RV days. Keep up the great work, Happy Birthday Jason

Eagerly I wait for a new video every week. I enjoy each & every minute of watching you Nikki & Jason. Xiamen is beautiful! Happy 17th Anniversary Nikki & Jason! I hope your special day is as wonderful as you both are! Happy Birthday Jason! Love you both!

Happy birthday, Jason, and happy anniversary, guys. 🎉

Happy birthday. Fantastic life so far. It will be even more fantastic from here. It’s just, for some reason, the time will be passing much faster.

Ah! My mother told me that “old age is no picnic”. But she was 97 at the time! But 42? You guys aren’t even half way there yet! I’m 76 and still rowing a single sculling boat (20 ft long, about 14” beam) and I still love to be on the water. I spotted the red double decker bus (just like the London ones) at about 28 minutes, and I can report that snails mating ritual is very similar here in suburban London although the little creatures look to be a bit smaller here. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do the same in Texas, provided they can find some damp place to live! I enjoy your videos and look forward to hearing your adventures for the next 42 years or as long as I’m still around to enjoy them. Keep ‘em coming! John

Jason, birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that people who have the most live the longest. Happy Birthday🎉

Happy birthday! I'm almost exactly 10 years older than you and I'll give you a sneak preview of what's coming next :) When I was 45, as someone who never wore glasses ever, I started to notice that words on my screen were a bit fuzzy. Then it hit me - holy shit I need reading glasses. I remember teasing my dad for holding his newspaper as far away as his arms could go, and then there I was doing the same thing with my phone. Dammit! It's literally the one thing I don't like about aging.

Happy birthday Jason And congratulations on your wedding anniversary ❤

I'll add my Anniversary & Birthday salutations to you! I hope you both have another #Wynning year! Xiamen is turning out to hold a lot more intrigue and adventure than I thought. I'm loving the window that you've opened!

Happy Birthday, Jason. Welcome to the next phase of your life.

Happy birthday 🎉 it’s so funny you were talking about tea and being in a country that has some great tea! I was working in China for about five years and my wife and I got hooked on different green teas. I was bringing back small suitcases of tea for years!❤😎

Happy Birthday Jason and Happy Anniversary to you both! This video was so timely as my husband and I are going through the same type of moment. Married for 20 years and I'm 45 and my husband is approaching 50. It's a surreal feeling. You knew it would happen some day but you really don't know what you're going to feel like until it's already here. Be kind to your bodies! I wish I hadn't overdone those workouts in my 20s. I'm already seeing a knee and back doctor to deal with aging cartilage. Maybe start eating those chicken feet!! ❤😊 Xiamen is such a beautiful city, thank you so much for sharing it with us!

This is by far your best vlog to date. Loved it in every way. Thanks for sharing. Happy Birthday, Jason. Congrats & many blessings on your anniversary.

Welcome to my world, I’m 83 and I’ve been half way around the world. And back . Now I’m home taking care of my wife of 57 yrs. Who’s on hospice care.

Happy Birthday Jason. And Happy Anniversary Nikki and Jason. Thank you for taking us along on all your adventures. We love the travel and sights you see.

This was a fantastic video on so many levels!! What a beautiful place to be. It is definitely on my list now and has moved towards the top very quickly. Great story telling, videography, and sharing. Thanks!

Happy birthday! I look back at 42 and it was great. now at 75 and married 54 years to the same one.

They do that rather depressing birthday song over there, too. Happy birthday, Jason.😊

Happy Anniversary! Happy Birthday! Enjoy Xiamen, my home in China from July ‘99 to April ‘09.

I love you guys, both of you very special! Happy Anniversary and Birthday! 😊 Now.....about those snails...they almost stole your show. 😂😂 thanks for the fun!

I am going to be 67 next month and regret not doing what you are do! Live life with no regrets!

Congrats on the milestones and especially the amazing solar panel array! What a feeling that's gonna be... powered mainly by sun. Thank you for the tour of Xiamen.

Happy anniversary guys, Happy Birthday Jason. 🎉 🎂 Your new home is going to be awesome, looking forward to seeing it all completed.

Nose hairs, and snail sex. What a great video. Happy anniversary you two and happy birthday Jasen.

40 was a moment for me too. Every 10 yrs since is just 10 yrs. to me. Stop the worry and live life to your fullest. 40's are so young. No reason to panic. Your less tethered and thankfully have no control and control does not matter. Living your dreams do.

Just what I needed. A treatise on middle-aged nose hair. Well done! Couldn't have said it better myself! All the best, Wynns! And happy birthday, Jason! (I'm 70 and I still feel like I'm 18--okay, maybe 35--okay, maybe 45--okay, I'll stop there...)

I've been watching you two since the pandemic lockdowns because I wanted to "get away" too (like a lot of people). And you've taken us on so many surprising adventures, I am always impressed and this episode is no exception. I've learned so much. Jason's face when he ate the hot spinach was priceless! And Nikki is so lovely! Forties look good on you both, but change is inevitable. You'll want to find/make a way to do self-traction or hang your spine whenever you throw your back out.

Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday. 🎉❤ Hoping you got good weather.

Happy birthday, Jason! I definitely thought you guys were in your early 30s so you are living your lives quite well. 😉 I really enjoyed this visit around town… it seems like such a nice place to be while you wait for the boat! And also: MAN THAT WAS NICE OF THE HH team TO CELEBRATE YOU, and in such a huge way!!! My gosh! 😱

What a great company and folks at the top! I am so impressed! Thanks for sharing - getting closer to having your cat on the water! I am looking forward to that day/period almost as much as you two! TC... : )

Happy Birthday and Anniversary to ya! My cousin and I were talking at her 50th B-day. We are the Old People in the family now. The look on her face, when that sunk in, was priceless. Jason, yes get the sticks, I'm 54 and used them this past week on a backpacking/fishing trip with my son. Was totally worth it. Thought it would be awkward, once you got into the rhythm of them it was great.

Happy Birthday, Jason! And Happy Anniversary, Wynns! Safe travels ❤️

Happy Birthday, Jason and happy anniversary to you both!! Don’t sweat about the years, you both look fantastic and have many more years to enjoy. I’m 67 (ouch!), drink my AG1 every morning, go mountain biking every morning and think I‘m 35. Don’t neglect regular checkups and enjoy, you guys are great! 😀❤️

Happy birthday sweet Jason! Your right it was a dance, a dance can be therapeutic, dance can be anything!

Watching this on my birthday/wedding anniversary.😊 I'm a couple years older and definitely relate to the getting older feeling. Living vicariously through yall gives me hope that I've got a lot of time to achieve our goals. Cheers 🎉

Not being tethered is frustrating for us too. 3 of the cruisers I regularly follow are waiting on new boats.

Ze Frank snail info is my husband's favourite. Hahaha. So when it popped up i cracked up laughing.

Happy birthday Jason!! Happy Anniversary you two!! You guys have packed a lot of life into your time together. Thank you again for sharing your adventures with us. Asian people really know how to do gardens so beautifully. Very peaceful.

Congratulations on both your Anniversary and your birthday!

Thank you so much for this awesome video! I love the interview wish it could have been longer though but I'm so impressed He took so much time out for the interview. Very interesting entrepreneur. Also, and blown away by the cleanliness and orderliness of the city as you travel around.

My heart fills with emotion watching you two. So many thoughts and feelings about my life at age almost 68. I have lived the other life, having children and raising a family and staying put in Iowa. In my younger years I wanted to build a Tahiti 2 sailboat and sail around the world. That will never happen so thanks for sharing all you two share. Happy birthday Jason. You are married to one of the world’s most beautiful women.

Just think, future generations of you family will be able to visit your journey through life through you videos! What a gift!

Happy birthday Jason and happy anniversary to you both... Great video again, enjoyed the sights and sounds and everything in between...

Happy 17th Anniversary, Jason & Nikki. Cheers to many, many more! 🎉 Happy Birthday, Jason, wishing you a lifetime of laughter

I've learned a lot and seen a lot watching your adventures over the past 7 years (yep, first video I saw was Nikki Goes Solo handling the RV alone). Never expected to see two snails enjoying each other....but hey why not! Cool visit with the boat and solar. Love that park and the surrounding area!! Don't forget my rule of birthdays, the Mom gets all the gifts so Jason, call your Mother!! Haha. Ok, Phuket it is! Until next week!!

43 and a half NorCal dude here. Right there with ya buddy! We're lucky to be here 🤙🏼🤙🏼. Thanks for the smiles/adventures and entertainment ❤

Happy Birthday Jason, and Happy Anniversary to you both, the content has been wonderful. I so appreciate your sharing the Chinese experience you have shared with us, Jason, & Nikki Thank You

Happy Belated Birthday Jason! Time really does fly.Ok kids,U2 look FABULOUS!

Happy Birthday Jason and Happy 17th Wedding Anniversary!!! You both "feel" younger than you say you are and that is a testament to your unwavering passion for curiosity and love, finding joy and new understanding in all you see, hear, and experience. If anyone is living a life of fulfillment it is the both of you. I was jumping for joy, when I heard you were going to Thailand, please see the elephants for all of us. They are such special souls! God bless you both on your travels and thank you for sharing with us!

Happy Birthday Jason. You are NOT old in anyway. I know. I've got 30 years on you! Enjoy everyday. Never take anything for granted.

Happy Birthday Captain.... The areas you both are walking about in looks beautiful and surreal. Congratulations as well for your Anniversary. You both look AMAZING. God Bless you both....

I know YOU know this, but "maybe" some viewers don't. As a former woodworker I have worked with Chinese, and Vietnamese workers. The high end boats that are built in these countries have lower labor costs but also VERY SKILLED PEOPLE. You 2 are a joy to watch and listen to,"most" of the time.

Happy Anniversary to you both! Happy Birthday Jason!

42 - the answer to life, the universe and everythiing... You will come to learn this in time - long after your 42nd year. Happy Anniversary and may you both be blessed with many more.

The solar panels on the ship look like they're the flexiable solar panels. You guys have covered that type of solar panel now numerous times. I'm wondering, on your previous ship you also used them. How did they hold up? Do the newer versions hold up better now? I hear they degrade faster but it seems like yours still had good output. I do remember you had to replace them at least once that we know of. About how long would you say they last you? You had them on your old RV's as well but those were the old ones. Thanks!

I’m so happy you showed the wonder of living in China. The people, nature, food and cities are like nowhere else. I lived in Shenzhen for 7 years, and this is so nostalgic. ❤

I’m starting a band and will be naming it “Love Dart!”

Your picture of China is definitely not what I was expecting. Wandering around the shop is one thing, but walking around the city for meals and sightseeing is totally different. I must say that it is quite clean and doesn't appear to be as concentrated as I expected. I thought that it would be more crowded on the street.
