Jttv also I love the reuse and less trash aspect of it. More cost effective too. Great job finding the company, maybe list them for good on your home page Renee?
That was a good tuna , and you may have done this but just in case here’s a tip , tuna exert a massive amount of energy during the fight till the very end and build up a ton of lactic acid in their muscles which will spoil the meat somewhat so to drain this away it’s one quick deep stab 1 inch behind the fin on each side which cuts the main artery and bleeds them out, do this as soon as you land it and hang up by the tail until it stops bleeding then straight on to ice (if you have ice)while you clean up and are getting organised to fillet the catch. This will make the meat taste sensational, and less mess during the filleting stage. Great episode really nice editing 👏 Cheers from SV Breezy in South Australia 🌬⛵️🌏
Yep! Bleed, ice, and then fillet. The meat needs to chill ASAP and it will make filleting the fish so much easier as the meat will firm up. You can make a simple brine that doesn't use alot of ice by mixing a couple buckets of sea water with the ice and adding some regular table salt to the water also. When the fish is hot the meat is mushing and makes filleting the fish a mess. Also watch a youtube video on filleting tuna would really help. By the way great catch! Also check out youtuber Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef for some great recipes!
Love following your adventure. As said above, bleed, ice, then filet tuna. The colder the better when you filet them. Take the belly off as one piece and grill that wonderful piece (toro at sushi places). Then peel the skin off. Then remove the top and bottom loins, leaving the middle blood line attached to the bones. Keep water away from tuna. Scrape the meat with your blade, then wipe with paper towels. Water tends to lead to mushy fish :(. I enjoy the reality, without the music.
Chris Jarvis ...why has no one mentioned the fact that Keith & SON were basicly chiming the water, and both of them on edge of swim platform...if you clean fish this way enough times...a SHARK will grab one or both of you...for Christ sake Keith...watch some shark fishing videos man... and you will SHIT your pants
After watching all of the Z-crew videos I've sort of started taking for granted the work that goes into producing these films. This particular one reminded me of the editing that goes into them and I just wanted to say I appreciate what you do to bring forth such solid and polished presentations. Whenever I see a new Sailing Zatara video notification it brings a smile to my face. As always, thanks for sharing your adventures with us all and may you always stay joyful and safe.
Awesome stuff as usual. I really loved this format. It felt like it more realistically captured your daily lives. Your family is an absolute blast to watch. Keith is a total riot, love his sense of humor.
I'd love to live this kind of life. Such awesome parents, and pretty well rounded kids you guys should be proud of yourselves and your kids. What a life. I do fish and hunt, but to live on the sea, with all the people I love around me would be a dream come true. Thank you for sharing your stories with me;
This was an enjoyable, fun and all around feel-good episode! Each member of this family is important to the well-being of the whole and to the Zatara adventure. This was also another outstanding job of editing and the telling of a great story normally found in a good book. I'm hoping Anna decides to stay onboard.....her bright mind is learning far more important things now than any inputs she would receive at some college. Thank you Zatara family!!!!!!
Almost everyone doesn’t go to Harvard University so no problemo Anna! The one’s that do go probably don’t go sailing half way round the world like you have.
Harvard isnt a place for smart kids. Harvard is where the ruling class with contacts send their kids not to get an education as so much as to build a network and create their own contacts.
FWIW add me to the list of people who love the sounds of the sea, the wind, and the boat moving. Hopefully on the passage we can get some of that and the sunrises and sunsets. I very much respect and admire the lives you are living and the memories you are making with your children...which are priceless.
I have been watching your videos from number one again, and have enjoyed them all over again Renée you’re doing a great job being a mother a wife and a sailor you do great videos as well😊👍🏻🌺🦋
Enjoying the new longer episodes. Also the "Natural sounds", gives a nice indication of the atmosphere on passage. Keith's little one liners continue to amuse. "Can't live with em, can't kill em." LOL. Don't know what I'm going to do without my weekly dose of "Zatarra" when y'all sail off for weeks across the Atlantic!
Thanks for sharing yourselves with me. Each episode takes this salty crusty shellback to my much younger days. The catamaran insights are diamonds whether your experience are good or bad. Plus the off the cuff comments and antics are so entertaining. What a life! Can't think of a better way to raise kids.
Renee/Keith: The modest amount of soundtrack for the opening and closing and transitional sequences is probably the perfect blend of "music". Don't forget to to buy plywood, 2x2s,long drywall screws,sealant,extra cheap plastic tarps,skill saw-jig saw,in case you lose a window or hatch opening crossing the Atlantic. Better to taken-in extra precautions...for those rare case scenarios. Happy Sailing with your family.
The children are growing and maturing so fast. It's great that they can live their lives in front of the camera knowing they are in the safest environment possible. They will one day thank you for being great parents.
the Sounds of the waves and wind make the sailing experience much better as a viewer who is not able to go yachting but who loves the sea and nature, thanks
I'm wrighting from Argentina...sorry for my english. lOVE WHAT YOU BOTH HAVE DONE. love your family, love not living just after money. Of course we need some, but not as much as many people think. I'm old, or, i'm just an adolescent in mature life. I'n 68, my first. Live by the atlanyic Ocean, 400 km from Federal district of Buenps Aires. I'm retired and a photographer now, well, just beginin learnin studying M;y town ias Las Toninas 20 km south from San Borombon Bay Argentina. I've seen twicw your epsisodes. They are, interesting, friendly, and easy to understand your life's philosophy. I enjoy them very much. They areplenty trying to the same as you, but, friends, your unique. Don't atop doing so. Send you my very kind regards ando blesing for you all.Lenny knye
This is by far my favorite sailing channel. I like the natural sounds of the distractions in the background, the silliness, and the suggestive humor. I hate how the average sailing person only sails on for 5 years. I know I could watch this for years to come.
Rockin' some ASIA at 8:11... Thank you Zatara Crew!! Keith, Renee, Anna, Jack, Finn and Kate and all of your adventures are the best thing on the Internet!
Most enjoyable sailing channel on RU-vid--- my favorite. Yes! Leave the music down while boat is moving - love hearing the sounds of the boat. Bonito are very oily fish... barely editable. Definitely not for sushi. With an almost full freezer - throw those sucka's back!
Congrats on using ambient sound -it makes the video more in -line with what’s going on vice music over ride. Would like to see more of it. Safe passages on your outbound sail.
Another vote for the ambient sound with just a little music. Fun to watch how you all interact and great that you are documenting it. Looking back will be wonderful for you all and we get to enjoy now. Thanks.
Nice fish, next time try to cook soup from the head and even the skeleton... it is great, especially in cold weather and rough seas. All you need to add is some veggies as carrot, potatoes and onion;-) Keep going!
Thanks for not playing so much music, really enjoyed the natural sounds. Best with natural sound. Even if someone shouts in the background.It is natural. Thank you!
I like the natural sounds. After a bit the music gets in the way and it all sounds the same. Besides it's hard to imagine what it would be like to be on the ocean if all we ever hear is music noise. Thanks for sharing your life with the forever land locked.
Wow, great video. I like the natural sounds. You did a great job with a mixture of music and natural sounds. I agree with Robert Roye, that it makes me feel like I am there. I live vicariously through your adventures. I enjoy the natural sounds of a family in the background. I agree with your assessment of college education and was rolling on the floor with laughter at the comments about those who didn't get the joke about Harvard. Anna you are smarter than those that go to Harvard, don't under estimate yourself. Have fun on the segment of you journey. Be safe!
So nice to be rid of the plague of music that nearly every single youtube sailing channel seems to think they need ! Just hearing the sound of the ocean and I could almost feel the wind on my face, way way more natural and your video was a 1000 x more enjoyable!
Thank you for another awesome video. You just can’t put a price on that kind of family time. Have y’all got the captain on a diet? Maybe those big fish he is reeling in are keep him fit. Lol. Thanks for keeping it real.
Awesome video.... i believe the editing has improved a lot since you guys started doing vids and i like the extra ambient sounds .... just a very real look at what a family living on a boat is like. Which is why i watch :-)
Great vid, the natural siunds are awesome. If you could leave the text up longer and maybe a larger font it would make ut easier to. read. I understand your humor Keith .lol
I really enjoyed this video. Hearing the sounds of the wind and the ocean along with the normal sounds of kids was great! I have loved all the videos! You are doing a great job!
Seeing makes me tear up. I had to leave Spain a few months ago after being stuck there for way longer than we expected. But I grew to love the place and we just don't feel at home being stuck in Sweden anymore. Time to hunker down and get to working. Hopefully one day soon I can once again go out into the world where I know now, I belong :)
Thanks for not playing so much music, really enjoyed the natural sounds. It is kind of odd to NOT hear the “patreon” spill at the end of your videos. Almost ALL the other channels put that plug in at the end or beginning of theirs. “IF” you guys ever decided to start one, I’d contribute to yours. Stay safe guys.
I feel like they SHOULD start a Patreon account and revert all proceeds to charity if that is the case. Just believe Rene’s work should be compensated, and it could benefit a greater cause.
Both catches are Bonita. Fun to catch and good bait. But if you were to eat them you should cut the gills open until the blood starts pumping out then drag them to extract all the blood from the fish. This will help with the fishy taste.
From the big city of Mohawk Tennessee....love the videos and totally envious. Life is an adventure for those who follow their wanderlust. What a great life learning tool. Just back from the Keys and already miss the smell of the ocean. Love the kuntry life but want to take that chance someday! Continue to enjoy life...love following your family. Safe travels and God Bless!
How come you guys never go crabbing .. I loved seeing you at the Chesapeake bay we went camping for 3 weeks every year when I was young at cherrystone park right on the Chesapeake I crabbed on dock clammed neck deep waters off my dad boats and once caught 23 pound sand shark off the Ms Jennifer party boat I was 8 years old.. I was born and raised on my Dads boat a fisherman’s daughter live in Staten Island Ny right off the beach my dad was a NYPD detective however he would totally loved to do what you guys are doing ( just not on a sail boat ) . My Dads 76 now and we own a vacation home on a private lake and since I’m a the on,y girl and after Hurricane Sandy living through that we now own a pontoon boat on the lake and jet ski we still fish but not into lake fish.. I admire you all its very much like my family was. Keith I say Dad to a tee.. my kids now 19 and 23 we went on our first CRUISE from Ny to Bermuda this past July it was a great time but it’s a city on the sea to much hustle and bustle and strangers.. however snorkeling swimming with dolphins pigs and turtles That beautiful water was truly amazing.. can you tell me the best place to resort explore the sea life that’s quiet we don’t scuba but want to just enjoy that sea life and the beaches water sports clear water.. would love to hear about Tate has she had her baby .. wishing you safe sailing and thank you for all the knowledgeable info you share , I hope to fill my bucket list and said for a week, I just way to scared as a female my guys and would kill us in and hr so I’d have to be a captain so a sail boat wouldn’t be for me lol I will settle for plane and a resort sail with a pro... bless your whole Crew and Mom your amazing
Always look forward to Zatara Thursday. Watching that rope company was fascinating and that place somewhere in Spain is called Aguilas it’s where I go to look out for beautiful Catamarans 😍😍 🤔 maybe one day 🤔 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻👌🏻 and remember Keith that fishing keeps the Guns 💪🏻💪🏻 looking good 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 LOL
keep it natural the sounds always add the real flavour of the boat love your guys alway watch the good moves with the bad cause on a boat at sea there are now bad moves just options
Ken, next tuna you catch, after you secure the head. Cut the tail off, toss the fish back, let it drag while trying to swim and it will bleed ALL the blood out. So the meat, when filet the meat will be more light brown or gray. It stores better also. Love you guys!!!!!
It was definitely nice to hear the sounds of what's going on instead of music covering it up. Probably saves time editing too so you don't have to go find royalty free music to fit the mood of the video. I hope the kids appreciate the amazingness of their lives at sea.
Keith - you are the man. I could go into detail about this; however, I will cut it short. I aspire to be like you. Love your attitude, dedication to your family, and love for being funny. Oh, you are a REAL man. Making repairs, doing things on your own (with help from the internet), and doing the best you can for family. I wish you nothing but blessings my man. Oh, the way you treat your wife, that is something that ALL men should do. ESPECIALLY after having multiple kids. If we ever meet in real life, all of the drinks and food is one me.
Without the music it's a more natural experience, more like being there than something made up for us. Great catches, great vid, loved it. Cheers Tribe Zatara :)
another great video team Z! Rene - your video editing is fantastic. The balance of music is great and love how you bring the stories together! As always, looking forward to the next video!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with everyone, love your family, you're so down to earth and funny. My daughter was home schooled also due to her dancing for a ballet company and to make it easy to get to her school that was the direction we took. i will be watching your segments as often as possible. Again thank you for sharing.
I would love to be doing what y'all are, instead we are going full-time in our RV for the second time. Great fishing and educating your children in the greatest University in the world, the University of life at sea. Love your family, stay safe and I look forward to your next video. Thanks for showing all the tech stuff and installation. Watching from North Alabama where its spitting snow and cold.
I know I'm way behind. As far as asking about if your decision about background music is good or not, just remember this pearl of wisdom coming from a real Indian Brahmin. LADY YOU PROVED YOU ARE A GOOD DECISION MAKER THE DAY YOU DECIDED TO MARRY KEITH. been watching your videos from 1st till here. Will be up to date in a couple of days. God bless u all and keep you all safe always .
You guys are Amazing my family and i are renovating a house boat and are looking forward to moving onto it in the new year you've all taught us a lot and we love watching yr vlogs we send much love from the Gold coast Australia can't wait for yr next vlog 😀
