I’ve been home sick binge watching for the last week, I found you guys thanks to Finn’s channel. Talk about the ultimate retirement with family, you guys are amazing!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love having my morning coffee and watching sailing Zatara episodes every Thursday morning. Keep up the great work Renee.
And I'd be screaming "slow the EFF down people are swimming there" Diving flags....just wow; funny how half the world away some things are the same...RUDE.
I remember when Finn first started noodling on the guitar and now it seems like he has a real fluid facility with it. Fair play to him. Keep it up, mate.
You guys are happy and it shows, you’re really setting the standard on How to raise kids in an happy good Family with Good values, really impressed 🙌 / With love from Sweden
@ashleyamber304 Over the last 7 years have they ever shown or mentioned a dive flag? It took the mom 6 years to purchase overboard watches when she finally admitted her children hadn't been wearing their life preservers at night. And for those 6 years, she had her teenagers doing night watch while she slept. Training and responsibility are great, but they're in the middle of an ocean with no help for many miles or many hours. I don't think they have any idea how incredibly lucky they've been.
Won’t be long before the family makes there own intro song together. I’d love to see that, brother you have a beautiful family. Congratulations, on being the best husband, father, captain, and secretly all of our role model. Love you brother God bless, and be safe out there.
Crowded moorings - does that explain the title of the vid? OH MY! What was the channel title from the 'New friends' section at the end? Kind of got a David Lee Roth vibe from that flipper guy.
That was flipping great!! I had asked to see the boys on guitar a couple of weeks ago so nice to see the resident Whittaker band from SV Zatara 😃👍 Always feel free to play more!
With that facial hair, Jack is starting to resemble a young "Jack Sparrow." Also, so handsome and a capable sailor.. Kids grow up so fast that you wonder where the time has gone. --Jessica from Florida 🌞
And Other people’s kids grow up 3x faster it seems. Having teenagers in my life I realize just how short that span of our lives is. I encourage them to experience adventures and some mayhem.
You guys make such good quality videos I love the intro so professional. I watch a lot of RU-vid channels and this is one of my top channels good connect and good quality filming and editing.
It's such a pleasure for this opportunity for everyone to experience these places. I too have been around the World, and it's beautiful! You do a GREAT job of editing the pros/cons of travel. Be safe.
It was a pleasure meeting you all today. Hope to see you tomorrow for the goodies. Wishing you all the very best on your journey forward. I will keep watching your journey through…
Haha loved the song correlation as the drone is going over the boats in anchorage, well done Renee had myself a giggle 🤭. Wow price a fuel was a blow out
"You guys" are the best, simply the best! Thank you again for another bunch of smiles, few chuckles to myself and "leaving" (end of video) feeling happier then when I "arrived" (start of video)! Love to you all! /Swedish Fox
I need more of Finn and his Daddy playing guitar. They were nailing it. Love it when your old man picks up the guitar. He dont need no rockin chair. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you.
I personally would love to do something like this….my wife in the other hand is terrified of the open ocean. Watching y’all’s episodes are as close as I’m ever going to get. Stay safe. Have a wonderful week.
Haha I'm in the same boat no pun intended. My husband is the one terrified. We have a houseboat on a river as well as a small speed boat to pull the kids. I have to beg him to take the houseboat out. He loves fishing, is an outdoor person, can fix any engine. I just don't get it. I grew up near the water went out with my parents and SO much want to do it. 😔
Similar situation. Me (47) - would love to go and live a life of adventure, on a boat or motorcaravan, whilst wife (43 with health issues) doesn't like the idea of uncertainty, life on the road/seas/move hahah - of course "Happy Wife, Happy Life" is always true so no dramatic life-changes on the horizon :( /Fox
I am a new watcher to your channel, don't even have a clue how I found it. My observation is you cats are having entirely to much fun! Just keep at it guys, it is a joy just to watch...
Praslin in my honest opinion looks like a much nicer island! Beautiful and better preserved. And I don’t Blame Keith in saying he didn’t know if he’d come back. If you can’t comfortably swim and snorkel in particular that would spoil a big part of the experience. With all that being said, it is gorgeous at that anchorage, and although it’s a lot of boats nestled up close, it sure beats being at a cruise port or a crowded resort. And once you got to that beach there, I have to say what a great segment, lovely private little beach. Good music, food, and friends equal a good time. The rain on the other hand is calming. The tortoises were massive and so cool to see. You never know what new people will come into your orbit, the fit guy doing flips was pretty cool. Great video! Looking forward to next weeks :)
I would think that as restrictions continue to lighten up , more & more folks are going to start living again, crowded into these open areas, it looks as though fuel prices are high everywhere in the world, sailing will be a great mode to travel, I guess even slow when the winds are light , stay safe & thanks for sharing
My kids an I have been watching for some time. They grow fast. My oldest is down in Florida at World cheer . They have to grow wings and fly some day but it's good to know they have roots to come home to. Weather it's on Zatara or your terrestrial home. Soon Life will return to a more normal version for all of us. We just have to power through it. Keep sailing and making videos so we all can dream a little dream . Enjoy and I'll be thinking of our lake and you out on the BIG BLUE MARBLE .
Hello from Phoenix Arizona! That is so beautiful there! I love the desert but I got to tell you I really miss thunderstorms and good rain we just don’t have much of it here we only get 7 inches of rain a year. It’s so beautiful the clouds in the Bluewater and the rain thank you for putting all these videos up.
We were in the Seychelles just a few weeks ago. I agree while snorkeling, I kept to the shallow areas (saw sea turtles, sharks, lots of fish right where you are.) but lots of small boat fast moving.
What a difference to watch folks that have money while sailing giving them that ability to enjoy so much more. Of course they still need to budget but they can do proper repairs and updates without a lot of worry. Of course you can sail on a 2x4 if you so desire but a more modern vessel with updates makes more sense to me. Enjoy the journey.
My partner and I and our dog Maple are travelling Australia in our Caravan. We are currently in Exmouth and went swimming with Whale Sharks last Tuesday. 11 months in to our trip, not even 1/2 way round. Love your channel. We did 10 days on a Catamaran from Airlie Beach in 2008. Thank you so much.👏👬🐕
Wow, can't believe how much the kids have grown up, seems only 5 minutes since we were with you guys in Samos, Greece and we first came aboard Zatara and were welcomed by you all. Keep it up guys. All the best from Carl and Jenny, and yes, we are still in Greece.
@@SailingZatara I had to say , Melatonin can help with Jet Lag. Watching your old return to male video, melatonin would help . I only take 1/5th of a 5 mg tablet and sleep much better and get on track in just two -three days then stop the melatonin.
I wish you guys could sail all the way here in the Philippines :) we have tons of great islands for you to explore. Been watching you guys since your monohull days. Keep it up!
Love your channel! Just found it a week ago. Your family is awesome, your filming is fabulous. Renee, I love listening and learning about islands I've yet to explore. Seriously this is better than any travel channel show. Travel channel should pick you up. maybe they did and I don't know, cause I don't have cable anymore. Never anything on. lol Anyways, my family and I hail from Texas North of Houston. One day we'd love to sail as you all have. I just want to wait till my littles are a bit older. 4 and 6 now. I can really relate to your struggles with older kids living their own lives. As I have a 19 and 21 year old, who are out chasing their dreams. We are so proud but also so sad to not have em around much. I love how your older son has stayed on as part of the crew. He's learning so much along side y'all. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us all.
Hey guys... things may not have started to well, but it sure looks like they improved... Glad to see you having such a good time. Enjoy and we can't wait for your next video :-)
I love this family no matter how many times I watch them so peaceful and so much beaty to see when the kids went to the swiss mwater to swim in the mountain back ground was so beautiful and I was so jealous man was I ever hating cause I wasn't there ;iving there life I am so at awe thanks for the ride keith renee
Would love to know how you transitioned from land living. I’ve only lived on Lake Ontario for summer. Living on a boat is great living, thanks for posting.
@18:33 - God damn it.. I was scared that someone will get hurt.. Thank you to all the practice they did... Here comes the special hugs and love for that backflip... Loads of love!!
One lesson I learned when I first learned to sail (some 45 years ago now) is NEVER tie fenders to the life-lines, it is too easy to pin one under the curve of a hull, or worse, under a piling and tear up a life line (and I also learned on a long weekend sail (I know NOT a 2 week passage) to have a spare of the longest life-line for the boat (you can always shorten one but trying to get those 2" is a bear), it might not be perfect but that is always one thing I have/had in a locker.
I love your adventures and travels and have followed you for a couple of years. The kids are experiencing things very few people of any age experience and will serve them well the rest of their lives. Kate is a true cutie and is/will be a Heartbreaker in the coming years and it must be tough living with two older brothers. The youngest brother is a typical loudmouth teen who should grow out of it in a few years. I look forward to Thursdays when you upload videos, keep up the good work.
Great video! Love watching everyone making new friends. I know Keith is always making new friends because he never meets a stranger just that good ole Texan hospitality.❤️
back in the late 2000's I was having to buy 320 gallons of Deisel at over 5 dollars a gallon every other day for my truck. really sucked to be trucker /owner/operator for a while
Just in time for my morning coffee! Does the salt in the air not affect (stick to) your clothes drying at all? Does no one use/acknowledge diver down flags there? That’s scary having those boats so close and going so fast!
Renee I keep watching Kate for longer recently and she has melow mood. I believe she miss the girl friends. Please try to do something to cheer her up. She need a larger company in my opinion. Wishing all the best to the whole crew.
Don’t base yourselves just around Mahe. Venture out to Praslin, La Digue, Curieuse island. There are so many other places in Seychelles to explore. Mahe is my least favourite island. I lived in the Seychelles for a while. 🇸🇨 Also, Seychelles have so much more greenery than the Maldives, so rain is essential for the environment. So many endemic plants and species, the flora & fauna is unique. Please visit Vallee de Mai on Praslin island, national park/reserve, no other place like in the world. Also a trip to Bird island is a must.
@@samanthalandry5648 Amazing how people all over the world are going through the same things yet sometimes feels like only we battle them alone! thank you for your comment!
Saw your stuff on Facebook today that you're leaving in the morning to go to Tanzania, maybe even you'll leave before you see this comment. Safe travels, fair winds, and a safe journey to you. I'm looking forward to the road trip down to Cape Town! I thought you were going to be in the Seychelles for a few months, though. After looking at the video of all the charter boats, I don't think I would have wanted to stay there for too long, either.
Love watching this channel before work in the morning. Get disappointed every time the episode comes to an end. This family is in inspiration and are truly living out my ultimate fantasy. Love seeing you guys travel new places and meeting new people. Keep Them videos coming and see you next week!
I have to admit that I have read and heard so much about pirates that I have been dreading a video like the thumbnail suggested this would be. Glad it’s not and I am confident in your navigational skills and your wherewithal. And, believe me, I have some very serious and sad worries at home. Yet still my heart jumped when I got your alert and saw that thumbnail. Ugh. Glad you are okay! And I love how each of your kids have different interests and different gifts and talents. Kudos for letting each one shine and enabling any potential growth. I have a lot of respect for that! Miss seeing Anna and haven’t quite figured out where Kate will shine but no rules except her to be on some timetable and she will discover what makes her tick in time. Her athletic skills are admirable! Well done mom and dadding, mom and dad!
Dear Mrs !! what Can i say !! ................. WHAT An OUTSTANDING Vlog !! ........ Good Too See You & Your Family Enjoying Your Time in Africa ........... GodBless You All ........... Peace-Out
I keep praying and working hard to get my family out and going on adventures and while we are no way near able to accomplish what you have and where you are I refuse to stop trying there has to be a way I need to unplug them entirely and get them all out and away
its like your anchored on the shoulder of a freeway, crazy all the people right on top of you. i was getting claustrophobic for you, something about being rained in on a sailboat just sounds so nice. : ) awesome video, Ty for sharing
Hi to all of you, I look at it like, wow, that's about 4 nights at a 5 star room.. But look at you guys go!!! Those memories are Priceless ! My Holiday Mansion carried 500 gallons.. ouch..
Look at you Keith & Rene... looking 20 years younger. Keith - lost weight, you look buff man, a real stud 💪 Renee - love the color, looking beautiful - always!
@Sailing Zatara *_ What is it with American sailing channels that they DON'T know the difference between a Turtle and a Tortoise?? Repeat after me.... "TURTLES ARE SEA BOURNE AND TORTOISES ARE LAND BOURNE CREATURES" (Testudines or Chelonia species!!) _*
$6.36 a gallon for diesel isn't too bad in place like the Seychelles, compared to Australia, diesel is hovering around $1.80 a liter or just over $7 a gallon.
I started binge watching from the beginning back in October or November. My gawd, I'm getting closer to being caught up and I just love witnessing the growth of your family and your adventures around the world. Excellent!
I have watched almost the whole series. Would give money to live this life. Sadly I will never be able to afford it... soo I will live vicariously. Great down to earth people, that is the key here.. people with personalities you can relate to.
There will be a few folks from Africa and Madagascar,Mauritias in the area.We Zimbabweans drive from Harare to Beira or Maputo on Easter weekends this is one of our go to places other than Kariba.South of where you are Durban area has had very bad rain and floods.
Great job Renee! I liked this episode a lot, I dont kno why. May be bc It reminded me of my travel experiences. Ben's guitar playing has come a long way, keep up the good work Ben! Lovely island. So nice watching the kids mature & making new acquaintances.
Always love when you put a new blog on! It was so pretty on the beach I loved everybody with the drums and guitars. These are memories your family will hold forever. You are so blessed. Is there a distance we’re both have to park in the water as compared to where the swimmers are at our their booties out there to market? Continue safely on your travels. Hugs and blessings grandma Tampa
Bad place huh ?... I wish I had those troubles.... Rare air and rare water you all live in everyday...amazing life...like Rod Stewart sang about years ago....All you need is looks and a whole lot of money....also Fin that Georgia Satellite song is a good one...great video they do with it...Keep your hands to yourself...6 bucks a gallon for gas sucks back here in the real world for the non catamaran people too...If ya got it flaunt it....I would....
Great post, got to see a lot of of everyone & fantastic sights especially the huge turtles. So cool night on the beach with Finn & pops hitting the tunes!
Thank you for another great opportunity see such amazing destinations through your vidios. I am sure I will never be able to go to those wonderful places, but seeing them from the comfort my home is satisfying for me. Keep it up.
