You don’t need to give any apology. It’s your Channel, your Content. If people don’t like it, watch something else. What makes your channel great is your authenticity. You can’t please them all.
Of course no need for apologies. But how embarrassing! Are you battered Rene? That baby thing was the ultimate most ridiculous thing I've heard on a respectable channel. Wow.
@@6985375No, she just has a different way of handling grief and pain than you do. Some people never talk about their pain. Some joke about it. Some handle it in still other ways. It may not be how you’d handle your grief, but it is the way she and her husband handle it. It happened to them, after all.
@6985375 comprehension is an obvious struggle for you. She addressed it in a clear concise manner for people to move on from it but YOU can't seem to.. build yourself a bridge & get over it, whilst you're at it you should learn some manners
They hinted at romance on the boat, and I’m guessing Finn and Maddie. But it’s wonderful to see a bunch of people just living life together! Super cool
I freaking LOVE Keith's sense of humor. Sarcasm is a 2nd language in my family. To be able to use humor and sarcasm when talking about past tragic events is a blessing. It means you aren't hurting anymore. Keith obviously loves ALL of his children deeply. The man gets weepy at the thought of the kids leaving the boat life. Thank you for all the laughs!
Aussie here and agree. love Keith and all their sense of humour. having cracks about one another is true love in my eye's. If i don't take a dig at you it means i do not like or respect you and if someone can't take a dig from me, then is no room for friendship as is who i am.
would be interesting to see each kid of make one of their favourite meals for the group and that way they could all experience a new dish especially from Brazil and Saudi.
It’s so amazing that you can take young kids from all around the world, put them on a boat having never met before ,and get along so well. This channels doing a lot more than watching y’all have fun, we’re seeing humility, and integrity once again. Thanks for being awesome Whitaker family and Guests! 🙏
Kids don’t care about race, religion, they just enjoy doing the same stuff together and having a laugh. Ohh to be young in the bones again. Always young at heart🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺
Renae, your eyes told the whole story when you told us about your stillborn birth. Dealing with a devastating loss and coming to terms with it shows true courage.
IT shows how it hurt you !!! Kieth you are an ass !!!! give that woman way more love and respect !!!!! what do you do for this family ??? honestly i see very little !!! Renee WE LOVE YOU !!! SO MUCH !!!!
@@flipme62you seem to have no idea about sarcasm, grief, or "gallows humor". Not only that, but Keith keeps that boat running and it's a monumental task. Just because you don't understand humor, that's hardly their problem.
Renee, for future reference it's really easy to make Chik-Fil-A Sauce. In case you can't get it regularly and everyone likes it. Here's the ingredients: 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Mix everything together and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Imagine knowing this family and thinking Keith ever has ill intent then thinking you get to demand some kind of an apology for how someone else handles their life? If you have watched this family longer than 2 episodes you know their humor and love. Renee, you do not need to even address those weak people. Love you all, keep it up!
Remember a episode years ago i only watched few months back as only just came across them from other sailing shows. Renee was potting some spice plants and were joking she wasn't very good at it. she said something along the lines of. like my children have a lot of them and atleast a few will turn out alright. Can tell is humor and not meant as a serious thought at all. Made me laugh.
For all you’ve given anyone whose watched your videos it’s astounding that a group of people would feel entitled to demand anything from you. Those of us who have followed your journey know that Keith’s comments were not malicious and, in fact, likely helped people move through their own grieving process. Keith is a tremendous person, father, and husband and anyone who has followed your journey knows this fact.
I don’t think people are demanding an apology. I think people are disgusted by the comments. The fact that these people believe they were right to make such comments just shows who they are. It’s not pretty.
As a Saudi I really enjoy your videos since you guys were at 60k! I was screaming when I found out you were having a Saudi member on crew I appreciate your efforts for our guy renee your a truly amazing woman and mother This is one of my favorite youtube channels the video quality is amazing I hope to see more of your videos in the future
This is the best channel I've found on RU-vid and Finns channel is great too, I think you need to adopt all the new kids so they can stay with y'all forever 🤣 and never let anyone steal your sunshine, your healing process belongs only to you.
Feeding a bunch of growing kids is costly, time consuming and never ending challenge for the primary cook. Always nice to have the pack mules that consume to carry what they eat. The crew seems to be enjoying themselves and that is always good.
Awesome family. Mom works so hard supporting the family with all their needs. Dad is so smart he’s a wizard. I just stumbled on your channel and I’ve been hooked ever since.
As an Englishman the sarcasm and dark humour is well known to us. We use it in all kinds of situations with all our friends and family, and we all have a laugh about it. It's part of bonding for us and others around the world. The alternative is to mope around or be on eggshells, which isn't a good way to live.
I’m hopping I can financially do this with my family one day. Sailing the world. I’m a dad of 3 at the moment from Mississippi and it’s good to see a family with similar values do the things I really want to do. Keep loving life!
Start making a plan, and don't be afraid to ask everybody to get a part time job to contribute to a fund -- one person can easily bring in a few thousand extra dollars per month by doing something as easy as delivering pizza (dinner time is most profitable). If you get 3 or 4 people doing that, $10K per month adds up to a used sailboat fund, really quick.
As for food and chores I think it’s great to expose these kids to different things. I love how you have made it work for everyone to have a great experience. And honestly as a former vegetarian turned keto I appreciate you guys eat a lot of meats and that’s awesome! 👏🏼😉 and please don’t apologize humor is an art form that seems to be disappearing! ❤
Keith and Renee are amazing. Beautiful couple and great example to the world on how to parent, how to work together as a team, how to build a family tribe, and how to be a couple. I’m sure they have their issues, their challenges, etc. like everybody else. But, I love everything about what they are doing and who they are: from Keith’s repair jobs and ship maintenance and planning, to Renees, social media skills, commitment to excellence in her videography, and her family management. They are both so awesome. The kids don’t know how fortunate they are to have such grounded, humble, committed and talented parents. I pray for your safe and fruitful travels.
Just another amazing episode. I just maybe wanna mention that each new group of sailers is getting better and better . Can't wait for the next one. Love you guys.
Keith & Renee, I am really enjoying this group of young people all have shown the kindness your family does engaging life. I hope they all grow in life from this experience with many opportunities.
You brought these kids on the trip of a lifetime. And your kids get to experience this year round. Great channel awesome family. I've been watching your channel for a couple years now. And in my humble opinion both yourself and Keith are amazing parents. Keep sailing and bring us many more smiles. Love from Bristol Connecticut!!!
What an amazing experience your giving these young people! Your hearts are so big to invite so many people into your home and just show them the world. (But also thanks so much for sharing this with all of us too! Love going along on the adventure.) ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Renee I’m only halfway through this vlog, just wanted you to know as sandwich, Queen Meal Provider, you have my respect. AND then you revisited a painful chapter in yours and Keith’s life (as if anyone else had a worthy say) with such integrity, you have my total respect.
Well done Rene and Keith. Thanks for a great get a way show. Always stay authentic and true to yourselves, no need to apologise. Safe travels to all of you.
I admire your generosity and patience, I raised two kids and their close friends, I just can’t imagine 8 teens in such tight quarters…..best of luck, your kids are so fortunate to have that lifestyle….I wish more parents could show their kids that level of togetherness and how critical it is to raising good humans…..bless you both
Don’t apologize for ANYONE…your channel. And if those folks have been watching long enough then they’d understand the humor. Keith reminds me of a buddy of mine, good guy, dark humor, big heart. Love the channel and keep doing what you’re doing!
She could get a full-time production editing job in any news room or production facility anywhere in the country. She produces amazing network quality product.
You are making such a positive difference in each of these young adult's lives. Thank you for that. They will be eternally grateful for the rest of their lives. God Speed.
This channel never needs to change. The authenticity of your thoughts, opinions, and feelings is exactly what drives people to watch and love what y'all are doing. Please don't cave in to the hypocrisy of the current society tries to gouge in our everyday lives. Keith Rene and all the crew stay true and never apologize, that is what makes y'all GREAT
I love you all and I enjoy everybit of your boat life. Great to see the kids enjoying new friends, and I would like to specifically thank you for respect showing to Ghanam on his food as he does not eat pork, samo here, and just thought that I needed to thank you guys for that and for the joy you bring us as followers or viewer's, love from Kosovo.
Renne - First and foremost you don't need to apologise to anyone for your life. None know the circumstances and context of your life. YOU ARE A GREAT MOM ! Love kieth for his wry sense of humour and outlook to life. Hats off to you and kieth for taking in and looking after 10 kids presently. The experience for these guest kids is a life time adventure cum exposure. Till next time.....happy sailing and fair winds.
Ibam amazed that everyone gets aong so well. You have a great group of kids. I think it is wonderful that you welcome kids from so many countries and then treat them as your own. This is why I just love your family. This seems like such a wonderful crew. I'm glad no one seems sick all the time. Safe travels.
Mama Renee, I feel compelled to comment (again...😅) I am grateful you took the time to share details of your family's traumatic loss. You needn't have, and it has no doubt cost you (again..). I amongst others am stronger for having learnt from your example that the darkest times can be experienced yet recovered from. The vast majority of viewers can also see the successful coping mechanisms you have all employed. Finally I must opine that it is not for others to comment on how a family survives traumatic experiences, better only to celebrate the fact they did. God bless you ma'am, you and your entire family owe apologies to no one. xx🤗🤗
please dont ever feel like you owe anyone an apology for what someone else has said to one another in a video. I think thats what makes your channel great and AUTHENTIC is your unapologetic humor and your amazing " we are who we are" outlook. I hope you don't ever have to feel like you have to second guess what you are posting because someone doesnt have thick skin no sense of humor or whatever it may be because if they were offended it probably will happen again and this channel probably isnt the place for them..lol WE LOVE YOU Z FAM!!!
You have grown so much I just I remember starting to watch yalls videos I think maybe a year after y’all started and today I got the alert and I decided to start watching and there was about 30 something views and when I’m finished with the video you already have half 1 million congratulations I love this new crew. I love this video today. It was a little different from usual, but it was an awesome video.
No one owes anyone an apology. The fact that you could have easily edited those comments out of the video but didn't speaks volumes. It makes you more genuine and aren't trying to hide anything. It's obvious that it was said in jest. Actually I think it took guts to include those comments in the video. You're very authentic.
Rene, you and Keith are genuine people. And that's why I love your videos. If anyone thought Keith was serious, they are part of that "woke" culture... and obviously don't know who you are. I know what it's like to grieve, and sometimes humor (dark humor), is what's needed to move forward. The real fans, know and love you guys for being you. Keep the REAL videos coming!
Why does everything that you republicans find offensive is 'woke'? How terribly lazy! How typical that you can not see or understand that some people are so deeply affected by the loss in their own family that they can not get past it and see Keith's 'dark humour' as Renee calls it. Having seen their videos, I get their humour. Caring is not a weakness! It is who we are as humans. Get over yourself!
It seems that every week I end up saying "another great video". That's because it always is!! The hi-light of my Thursdays is watching your videos and looking forward to the next one. Awesome how everyone gets along and shares in the responsibilities as well. If you do this again, it's going to be really hard to find another amazing group of young people to bring aboard. I haven't heard one negative comment from any of them! Much love to you all and continue to have a great time on board Zatara!! See ya next week!!
I like that you are always teaching - that makes my heart leap. Even when internet people have no business making comments about your (or **to** your) family sailing on the water half way around the world, you still set aside time for making a teaching moment from it. That's courage!
Absolutely don't owe anyone an apology - if anything "we" owe you (gratitude) for being so open and sharing something so personal and obviously horrendous. Whatever works for YOU dealing with life's challenges is the right thing/way for you to do/deal with it. Nothing wrong with humour, dark humour and using it as a "tool"- doesn't diminish the hurt, the grief etc. and respect for you both for finding a way forward, not letting it consume you. Best! /M
Everyone deals with things in their own way and time. Laughter or sarcasm is often the best form of making light of a bad situation. Y’all have an awesome family! Live free! Live happy! Keep on truckin! Or sailing…Cheers from Arkansas!
Have been watching you guys for years and must say I really enjoy every bit of it. Great new crew and keeping the episodes very interesting. Enjoy the last few weeks together. @Keith and Renee thank you for letting us into your lives and no need to apologize to anyone. God heal and restore in time.
I just wanted to add, you guys did nothing wrong, your a normal family. We all had bad situations in are life, losing a family member is hard, but also when you have a pet that pasted, its hard. I like Keith will never forget what happened, its his way of getting over a sad time. Great Vids..
You are an amazing family! What a great Mom you are! Cooking for that many young people at one time is WOW! At that age, they can eat you out of house and home within a week. You are doing such a great job. Enjoy every moment - time flies by so fast. Your wonderful videos are a lot of fun to watch. Thank you for taking the time to film.
I so enjoy witnessing your rich lives, I just love that you've invited these young adults aboard and the dynamics they bring. Such a win-win. Thanks for sharing, I love Thursdays! (and now Mondays too!)
I led teams of people in a multinational corporation for many years and always preached: "feedback is a GIFT". Positive reinforces, builds confidence and motivates you to do more of the same. Negative causes you to reflect and think what you might choose to do differently in future. Don't let praise go to your head and don't be defensive when criticised or the gifts will surely stop coming. Listen, grow and develop. Hope that helps Renee.
Sarcasm is often used to deal with difficult situations. It's not that it normalizes what happened but rather a coping mechanism used to help deal. If you're curious, there are several reputable studies conducted on the subject. Much respect to you and Keith, Renee!
Just following this family from Texas for years now! I have enjoyed the journey with this fab family that will share the adventure with people from around the World!
What an interesting episode, thank you. You are amazing, Renee. Cooking those big meals is a lot of hard work and creativity, always a smile on your face while preparing the meals. You have chosen an exceptional group of kids to join you.
Keith is a good man, and you have an admirable family. Life is hard for everyone at times. Getting through has your family has is a sign of wisdom and maturity on his part. It is obvious he loves you all.
Awesome video guys!!! I think it's funny that people say the kids don't get to interact with other kids. Just ask the haters if they let their kids have slumber parties for a month. That is incredible. I bet most kids in the US have never had a friend stay one night at their house. You all are so awesome for letting others get a taste of the adventure life. See y'all next time.
Renee, you're a great Mom to all the med crew, you share you're ❤️ and take care of each one. I enjoy videos about you & Keith, relationships with your own kids and with us the viewers & how you explain the kitchen, providing meals and provisions. Amazing lady & truly Amazing life.
You don't owe anything to strangers on the internet! I appreciate your outlook on life Renee and Keith. Also i have a question for the crew if they'd like to answer, ive always wondered if you could have ANY pet to live with you on the boat (special boat animal that would be totally fine at sea) which would you have? Safe ttravels for everyone:)
No need to apologize. The one thing that that I love about this channel is that you guys are real. Anyone who follows this channel should know that Keith is a comedian and reality turns a gloomy day into a sunny day in paradise. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome I'd love to visit this Island.....I've studied the bible and biblical history my whole life! What a blessing! So glad you mentioned John and Revelation
Be careful of what you wish, I've visited Jerusalem a couple of times... like she said, many are now tourists sites and not really authentic. You will be disappointed for some of them.
Renee, my grandfather was a tough man. His saying was “if you get your feelings hurt, it’s your own damn fault for having weak ass feelings” so we grew up poking fun at each other’s misfortunes and made it through life just fine. Love your family!!!!!!!
Helooo from boring California,Renee don’t worry what people say ,some people they don’t have a sense of humor and it’s so weird they watching all these beautiful episodes from you traveling around the world and they picking picking picking for the bad stuff or try to find something like that but it’s not gonna work because everything you doing is perfect. It’s amazing that’s so unique.and your kids are grow healthy and emotionally and physically clear atmosphere, many people can’t even dream to live like you,we are enjoying all you episodes it’s beautiful and unique,
This wonderful group of young adults are such a warm, lovely and lively additions to your adventures. I will probably miss this group when their experience ends with you. But, I am sure it is an experience that they will remember for many years to come.
Renee - we call the times where people fend for themselves for meals “EMFH”. Every man for himself. So, I’m giving you my acronym to use moving forward. So all you gotta do is tell everyone, “Yo, tonight, it’s EMFH.” Now, Keith, I know you’ve done a lot of repairs and improvements on the boat recently but I’m always watching for that “Fix-It Porn”! Thanks to both of you as always for the amazing content. And Renee, just when I thought your photography and editing couldn’t get any better, it does. Those nighttime drone shots in the last episode were MAGIC combined with the music. Just beautifully done. Thanks for the opportunity you are giving all the kids on the boat! Yours included!!
You are the most real people on the planet ! I applaud your openness about the baby being still born. Most people don’t want to talk about things that happen, please don’t stop . Keith doesn’t owe anyone anything ❤😎
Sarcasm and joking about different life events(good or bad) is a very “American” thing. I know you have viewers from all over the world, and people view it differently. My family is the same exact way, and it’s a big part of why I enjoy your content because I can relate. Keith and my own father are incredibly similar 😂 Same personality, sense of humor, etc. Hell, they even have the same facial hair
I'm from Europe and my family is the same way. I think it's a state of mind. We don't deal with things the same way. And some cultures act different. Most because of religion! 98% of the times. But, Ok! I understand that. Saúde, amigo!!
It looks like as you would expect... the kids are living their best lives.. Lots of positive energy on the boat. I would offer that Keith's humor is infectious.
The ones that owe an apology are the men that dont spend anytime with their wife or kids. Look at all that Keith has done for his family. He owes an apology to no one.
Yes you're right about men Owen apologies to their wives and kids we don't spend time with them I was in one of those relationships I was so upset with my husband. I see other people with their husbands and wives. Spending so much time with him I did get jealous about because they would equal and compatible with each. When you don't have that equal compatible that love spark like I didn't have relationships are different. So if my life I've been through so much one thing that I have is I have God he's the only one that was back to me in my life my strength my challenges I'm still standing strong as a woman.
I don't think Keith owes an apology to his family the best thing for his family and life protecting them in this goddamn world the world is so sick in hell that I am so glad that Keith and Renee has their children out on the boat learning the world the political stuff that we were able to sick world they understand it too but they're staying out of it the drama shit
Hey James. I would hope that you don't judge those of us that had jobs that kept us away from our families. I was in an entertainment field that tookj me around the world for months at a time. Didn't mean that I loved my kids any less than Keith. Do I wish I had been able to spend more time with my kids... Sure. But, then we wouldn't have nice things in life. All my kids turned out great and now that I am retired we have fun, so, there's that. And YOUR need for fun kept me away from my family so be happy that people are willing to sacriice so you and your kids can have fun.
I have to commend you on your interview process. This group is awesome individually and as a group. Great personalities to merge together. I vote for Glory to continue!!! lol
It is natural to make light of something tragic. My mom recently had cancer and the AMOUNT of cancer jokes we made is astounding. It helps us process, makes sure we don't forget and just bring attention to what happened in a better way
