Keith, I am watching your journey 7 years behind. I recently came across Finn’s channel and wanted to follow your journey. I cheered you on through the whole video. I took my family to Europe for 5 years when the 6 kids were basically teenagers. I got a lot of the same reactions. We returned almost 20 years ago and my kids still thank us for that experience. They have been world citizens since that adventure. Your children are also now. It’s a gift that is life changing and enriching. Way to be 🎉❤🎉

@JanisTilyard 2 года назад

This is the best education you can give your kids. The “anti” crowd feel threatened. Thank you for being pioneer adventurers and inspiring hope. 😊

@pepe2000ful 3 года назад

Trust me sir when I say this, they’re probably a billion people that agree with what you are doing. We love it !!!

@steveraymond982 7 лет назад

Considering all the dangers to kids on land. School shootings, drug addiction, car wrecks. There's a million ways for them to die. You can't keep them in the bubble wrap forever. & you're literally spending 24/7 with your kids. The nay sayers can't say that. I admire sailing families they're getting a family connection that you can't get on land. I've been following your journey from the beginning. Love your boat and your kids are great. Thanks for sharing! Have a blast & be safe.

@lizb7777 7 лет назад

My grandpa used to say, "whatever you do, half the people will like you for it, the other half will hate you for it, so at the end of the day, you might as well do what you want." I think y'all embody that ethos.

@AllisonReece 7 лет назад

I was surprised family and friends were that against your decision to take time off and sail. What a great opportunity of a lifetime for a family. Probably will be the greatest time ever once looking back. I can't imagine regretting the decision to set sail with family. What those kids are learning is immeasurable.

@websurfer44 7 лет назад

People who sail that aren't retired all tend to say the same thing, you'll never be ready - just do it. You could have left the kids home with grandparents or other family members but you chose to bring them along and let them explore the world from a boat as a family. I bet they thank you over and over for that in the years to come! When we are kids most of us live in a fishbowl called school and think it was the most important world in the world. As we age and go off to live life we learn that fishbowl was just that; life is much bigger. As long as your being the best parents you can be and are helping your kids grow and learn to become great adults; you have nothing to worry about. Keep up the good work.

“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. Morpheus, The Matrix”

@SailingBrothers 7 лет назад

Our family looks forward to each episode as we have four kids around the same age. Your family was our personal inspiration for us to sell everything and start sailing.

@travelingtimothy 5 лет назад

You are doing it all right. What is right for you can’t be determined by someone who would never do this. You have hit the nail on the head. Stick with it and don’t let others make this decision for you.

@jrh0369 7 лет назад

I think the turning point for your trip was when you and your kids went to visit the orphanage. Those types of adventures are very teachable moments for your kids. They are learning lots of life skills from sailing such as the responsibilities standing watch, learning to be self sufficient, and having learned different cultures around the world. Plus I bet they are good at geography by reading maps for navigating.

@mattks1001 7 лет назад

Absolutely! Even if the experience is tough now, you guys (zatara) will look back on these memories and be amazed at what you've done.

@timcampbell6008 7 лет назад

Well I think the kids are getting the education of a lifetime. Seems to me you are doing everything possible to carry out your dreams in the safest way possible. Society is structured to pigeon hole us into what it wants and needs and you are going against this in a positive way.

@VictoriasFolly 3 года назад

My husband and I have recently discovered your channel, and have nothing but respect for you and your children. Well done indeed! Thank you for sharing your life and stories. No doubt you are inspiring many others to take the red pill. My dad did that for us, by moving my siblings and I to the UK many, many years ago. He didn’t want his children (5 total) growing up and only knowing Alabama as a way of life. The world exploded open and life has since been an exciting experience. For that, I’ll always be thankful and grateful to my fab father for giving us such a gift. It’s not a huge comparison to your life as you are teaching your children. It’s brilliant that your kids are learning HOW to live their own life and all that entails. No big house, flash cars, loads of meaningless swag, expensive holidays abroad nor posh schools will teach your children a life well lived. Again, Mr & Mrs Whitaker - Hats off!

@crazyzeus1 7 лет назад

As always, and through our entire friendship, I have always valued your honesty! Sometimes people have a hard time understanding a drive to do things outside of the box, and it IS hard to navigate the waters of talking about stuff and sharing a lifestyle that's so different. Proud of you guys!!

@colliesworld6380 7 лет назад

Keith honestly you are the bomb!!!!!!! So well said . You know best what is good for your fam they will have awesome memories forever. And when YU get back you are not too old to continue working and preparing I'm sure to go out ur again.

@tjaartvanaardt8587 2 года назад

When your life is over, you will have accomplished what most people just dream about, while those who never took this chance will only have regrets. You have my blessing mate.

@charlesterry2480 6 лет назад

Are you freaking kidding me? You are giving your kids experiences that very very few people get even in adulthood seeing so many cultures and experiencing so much around the world. I think you guys are awesome and I’m kinda envious wishing I had those experiences in my life and your dealing with the challenges both on and off camera. I love you guys and what you do keep livin and have a great time safe sailing guys

@mamachicken1548 4 года назад

Keith, I think you and Renee had a lot of courage to go against what others say or approve. I think you guys are raising your kids in a fantastic way!! I would love to see and experience the world like this. My favorite part is the "freedom" of your lifestyle,.

@georgegulden5819 7 лет назад

You may have lost a few friends on Terra Firma but look at how many new friends you have. 16k and climbing. Be safe. We’re all thinking about you guys. This has been a great gift for your family and your followers.

@SP-ul1bf 5 лет назад

My grandparents saved their whole life for that perfect time...my grandma got sick and died at 65. They never got to enjoy what they saved their whole lives for. Me, my husband and daughter travel all over the US in our camper (were not full timers yet, some day) but It’s an extraordinary experience my daughter will never forget. Those people are just jealous because their lives are not fulfilling. Keep on keeping on! Do what’s best for you.

@richardwinn8221 7 лет назад

As cruisers for the last 7 years, we applaud and support the life you chose. We hope we catch up somewhere out there. Hugs to you all.

@sheilajohnson6478 3 года назад

You did the right thing. Why wait and then kids are grown and you’ve missed slowing down and enjoying them. This is wonderful bonding and making wonderful memories. I would do that in a heartbeat, if my husband would. I’m 57 years old and regret not doing things that I’ve dreamed of.

@geoffthefarmer 7 лет назад

My son died (only child) 5 years ago and I would give anything to have done what you guys are doing with him. The time you have with your kids is priceless. While some of the time it may be a little unpleasant to watch your kids experience something for the first time or for that matter just look up and see them in close proximity would be perfect. BTW I love your videos and as a catamaran owner I understand the need for extra space.

@azpichon 3 года назад

Keith: love the Zlog at the beginning. I’m about 4 yrs behind but binging to catch up, and I’m about the same age, guessing about the same beliefs, and financial situation as you were 4 yrs ago. Very inspiring. Love what you guys are doing. Working up the nerve!

@auroranite 3 года назад

You tell it like it is. As viewers we learn so much from your honesty. Thank you.

@larrygldn9245 7 лет назад

Your absolutely right. I'm 75 and have wanted to what your doing. I retired at 72 trying to make my family happy but I spend my time picking up grand kids from school. You listened to the right voice. Keep things turning to the right and the wet side down. Love your channel. lrg

@K8URChannel 7 лет назад

Great talk! 45 years ago my girlfriend and I dropped out of college and took off sailing. I bought that first boat with the downpayment from a $2500 credit card ($4000 boat). We left from Lake Erie, had NO GPS, NO VHF, NO charts. We used a Texaco road map of the East Coast that happened to have some ICW bouys marked on it. Up Lake Erie, the Erie Canal, down the Hudson River and ICW and Bahamas. We had no money. Worked as needed, fished cocoanuts out of the ICW for food, picked mangos when we could and caught fish. Within a year I got a job in FL, was driving a sweet BMW MG before selling that boat and car to buy another boat. Sailing back north we sold the 2nd boat in Annapolis, went back to school, got jobs, had 3 kids, started 2 high-tech biz and 20 years later - did it again. With 3 kids and my now girlfriend/wife all on a Tartan 37. It was great! You're living real life! Now the kids are all grown and gone, the wife re-married and I'm hoping to do it one more time with my faithful dog. Saving my Soc Security pennies for a boat. This time I'm not coming back to the US! Keep sailing... Mitch in Annapolis

@robertwiley3171 4 года назад

I can tell you I have seen a big growth of good attributes with your children since you embarked on this life style. Respect which you show your children and they respond with respect! This is not common with families these days. Well done God Bless

@cliffstarks9579 7 лет назад

When I first started watching Zatara, it was more to witness the great train wreck that I was sure to follow. What I have come to love about Zatara is everything you just mentioned Keith. I respect you for having the courage to take your family on this great adventure and I see how you both take all the precautions to award safety. I have enjoyed seeing the kids grow as people and how they have come to appreciate what the family is doing. Sure, there's hard times, frazzled nerves and in such close quarters the lack of personal space is trying. But the realities are there are things in everyday life that are as or more dangerous in the normal city environment than you will experience on a boat. Love you all, and stay safe. PS: you posted a video a while back (Ep. 25) where you asked the kids their thoughts about life on a sail boat. I would like to see a follow-up on that video and get their perspective today.

@kit2130 4 года назад

You expected a train wreck? I Never did. Keith can do anything which was evident from the start!

@vgaulin 7 лет назад

Good for you all!!! You are a great example to other Americans that there is no more danger outside the USA than there is inside the USA. Enjoy your trip, your family and live your life not being affraid!!! You are inspiring me to live my life tooooo...

@stevenskinner8532 7 лет назад

Good on you Mate. Cruising wasn't even a thought when my kids were younger. I am actively planning & still hope to share some travels with them. My youngest is in college so need to see him through this faze. Right now I'm building my skills & gaining as much experience as possible. Life is a gift & I'm enjoying watching you live it with your Fam. Joy to you all!

@chrisrobinson3058 7 лет назад

Hooya buddy, having a family of 5 after 20 years of marriage and living each day as close and best I can with them, while not sweating what might have been has been a blessing to us. If you procrastinate, you are costing yourselves the one thing that will not show up in a back account, time. Regards, Chris and Family (SV Risico)

I Like that living your Dream includes your Husband and Kids and I like that living your Dream includes your Brothers and sisters, Mom and Dad. I bet for ya'll, with the last Breath you take in this life you will be singing the Zatara theme song.

@nutbaridea1097 2 года назад

This is my passion, every reason you describe is why I don’t want to do this but it’s a passion. Since covid I’m soooo disappointed to see travelling was more important than the future and good health. Started watching from beginning when times were more honest like this.

@LoreeVanderWerf-si8sn Год назад

Love watching your older videos. ❤️

@libbyblackmon885 6 лет назад

So sorry you had and apparently still have people that haven't supported you on your adventures. I myself have totally enjoyed your videos and I live vicariously through you. Thank you for being brave enough to do what you all have done. Stay safe and may you have fair winds!

@step2911 Год назад

I have gone back and watched a lot of these early videos because I am just beyond inspired by what you have done as a family. I have long felt trapped in my corporate job and this gives me hope.

@nickjordan7984 5 лет назад

You did not make the wrong decision... the connection with you family... wow

@scotterx9835 2 года назад

Gold Keith. Your still going. Bloody brilliant I’d say. Aussies get it. Love life and live it. Say what you think and respect the freedom of others to choose their path in life. 😀

@northshirelodge Год назад

Hi! Late to the party, but... nice to be here! Good on you for taking the plunge despite what everyone else said. We (wife and 7 yo son) quit our jobs at beginning of 2021 and travelled for 8 months as a transition to a new life as business owners. While our adventure wasn't quite as daring or extensive as yours, it required the same mindset to break out of the box. However, we received nothing but admiration and encouragement from all our friends (such good people!). As many of them said, most people talk about that fantasy, few actually do it. So, the lesson there is... go do it! Congratulations on keeping it going.

@lcdemack 7 лет назад

Bravo man, bravo. There's many many people with narrow perspectives who will never understand, and it's not for the rest of us to try and placate them.

@rebisreturn888 7 лет назад

So true, many friends have projected their fear on my sailing dreams...my dreams are now reality and I'm a few friendships lighter of baggage...I've worked hard to get to this level of confidence in my own abilities...I'm not backing down for anyone..

@laurentfroggy6631 7 лет назад

You guys rock, don't change anything. I am only 1 of your "internet friend" who will never judge you or your family or you choice of life style. I won't go into all the bla bla bla you have already gotten from your family and friends and more. I love your honesty and the fact that you guys share all these with people like me who you never met. Love your videos, love watching all of you and I shall wish you all the best. Thanks for sharing and best from HKG as usual.

@briand.4427 7 лет назад

Keith, Renee - you two have done an amazing job with your choices, kids and life! Do not let the opinions of others interfere with your dreams and plans for yourselves or your family. There are no guarantees of a “tomorrow” and you are exposing yourselves and your kids to experiences that you’d never get otherwise. We appreciate what you’ve done and your willingness to share your experiences along the way with those of us who tune in! I’m disappointed to hear that you’ve had issues with family on your life choice to sail the world; that’s a bit surprising but that’s life sometimes. We look forward to your continued adventures with fair winds and smooth seas! P.S. really liked the movie “cut in’s” in this episode for added effect - hilarious!

@derkvandertuin6058 Год назад

Well Keith and Renee you've made the right decision to go out and explore. well done. We left our home land 32 years ago and explored the world also sailing flying, driving, by boat. Loved it. Would do it all over again.

@Artimus128 Год назад

Well I came across your channel perhaps 10 days ago , I’m on episode 45 what a joy to watch as I don’t watch normal TV , what you have achieved is amazing , the way you’ve adapted is fantastic to watch , you all work well as a team , as many many folk have said your kids will look back on this in there later years and thank you for taking that plunge , as I can well imagine and you’ve mentioned you’ve had your critics 👏👏💯💯%%

@project6coaching981 4 года назад

What a great message! I daydream watching Gone with the Wynns for over a year. I saw your family on a couple of their episodes and thought you guys are awesome, so started watching your channel from the beginning, I’ve gotten here so far and I’m hooked. I love the realness of your adventure. And just an observation, Keith doesn’t talk enough and needs to step up the tempo. 😎 Thank you for the inspiration.

@Baraq2 4 года назад

Hello , l am Ray from Dubai. I would like to thank you for the advice and information provided on your trips at sea. I am very happy to follow you on your wonderful channel that is full of fun and excitement on your cruises around the world. Regarding negative people, you will find many of them want to hinder your progress, because you are an ambitious family and you trying to make your children happy. I want to thank again. ❤️

@grantscully4357 7 лет назад

@colemansines9722 Год назад

You did absolutely right in my opinion. We homeschooled 4 and are about ten years older than you and the time is past for us. Going back, we’d get out of the box and live too!

@michaeldouglas6872 6 лет назад

Just watched this even though it’s months ago what an adventure for your family and kids and a way to bond ..something that most families will never get to experience of have courage to do. Can’t imagine what type of real friends or family members would not be supportive. Hope you all set sail again soon !

@alainstain Год назад

that is correct !!!, big fella i love what you are doing, naysayers are a dime a dozen , they are afraid to get in the ocean even knee deep, here you are freediving 30' plus , i just came across your channel a few days ago and so far it is the most real, genuine and informative !!!!!!, i saw a few random episodes and decided to start from he beginning, keep at it !!!!!

@rob5718 7 лет назад

Keith and Renee, people are supposed to be pioneers and explorers. What you and your family are doing is absolutely amazing for taking that giant leap and just going. That's what life is about, risks and challanges. If being stuck in a concrete jungle just to make money and be in a routine is being responsible, man.... I don't want it. The best learning tools are to get off the beaten path and explore. Your kids will always have this experience to better prepare them for whatever world awaits them in the future. As for your vlogs, I think they're great. Open and honest without all the fake theatrics.

@sarahjohnson3420 6 лет назад

I’m watching videos to catch up. But this message is important!!! You can’t take it with you when you go... Hell, get out and live! Cheers to this video!!!

@Suecoloco1 Год назад

Hola, I watched quite a few of your episodes. Great stuff! What you guys stated about people thinking you are crazy, criticizing etc etc. We can very much relate to. We moved to puerto vallarta mexico from California 15 years ago kids dogs and all, sold our properties boats etc up north. Our 3 kids whom are now adults are amazing empathetic and hard working, multi cultural bi lingual etc. We have been boaters all our lives especially me sailing boating in Sweden since a small child. After 5 years with no boat here we got the fever again, so just purchased a 39 foot Sweden yachts. Our plan is to start by cruising mexico and sea of Cortez. Being based here in vallarta is a great staging point. I am hoping our kids will run our businesses insurance and real estate company’s without hiccups. Lol.. Ideally at various points they can take turns with their significant other join for a week or so. As well as our grand kids. Wife and I are now late 50’s so I want to go now while feel physically comfortable dealing with tough days and long nights. Hope to see you guys at some point on the water.

@bradpeterson9689 7 лет назад

Beautiful vlog; its very inspiring. I'm 32 yrs. Working a 9-5 job 7 days a week and living in a concrete jungle (NYC) is definitely taking a tool on my mental well being. You guys are an inspiration.

@maxamillion4255 6 лет назад

Since I am playing catch-up and watching these videos in order, this has been one of the best so far. There is never a right time, just some are better than others. You are doing an amazing job with your family.

@DiaryofaFamily 4 года назад

Keith’s words are so right on!! We’ve been living FullTime in our RV traveling the US. Some of our family still doesn’t understand why we decided to be different. during this social distancing I’ve really enjoyed your story. Started your Binge playlist and am catching up with your adventures.

@nickpeet1755 7 лет назад

Kieth I have been watching with great envy since the beginning. Loved your explanation, and attitude. You have a wonderful wife,and awesome children. This is a chance of anyones lifetime. Keep it up. Wish you all safety and happiness.

@sailing_sv_legacy 6 лет назад

Zatara crew, it has been a sincere delight binge watching your vidz as I am making plans to bet a boat. I hope to run into you on the high seas. Shane & Tanya (Sailing Genesis-soon to come!)

@sunnyd4889 7 лет назад

So happy you are following your dreams! It give others the courage to do whats on their hearts. We are taking a 60 family cruise around South America with our kiddos. You all have confirmed our feeling of doing it now rather waiting for kids to grow up. I love watching your adventures as we plan our adventures. DO Life :-)

@philipsmith1990 3 года назад

When it comes to safety, and the safety of your kids in particular, they will never learn how to recognise risk and so to be safe if they have never seen it. The experiences you are giving them will make them smarter and wiser people.

@stevehaire6181 5 лет назад

Pretty honest analysis, thanks. Yes, I’d agree, fear and peer pressure have probably killed more dreams than failure has. Us westerners are a strange bunch. We’re addicted to convenience and we’re fearful of the unknown. I guess, as a result we tend to miss opportunities and just stay put in our little comfort zones until it’s too late. Happy journeys!

@brandonboand Год назад

Ty for all the great words of advise Keith and Zatara family. I hope to cross paths some day. Stay safe stay free❤

@robertjones1704 7 лет назад

Kate does what you (Jack) do/ does, because Kate looks up to you/ him and finds you (him) an example. She likes what you/ he likes because that's the method that was used to learn something new or peculiar she (Kate) was previously curious about. That's how us children learn... That's how we grow; through *example*, and eventually our own trials, and lessons learnt from errors. Cheers from the middle of nowhere, Ne.

Absolutely, do whatever everybody says you can’t do and live your life We do only live once and it’s up to us to fulfill our dreams so it doesn’t matter what other people think The ones who love you will remain, support and respect your decisions I love what you guys are doing and i wish I had the same experience (still grateful for what I had of course) PS I’ve watched your recent videos but wanted to binge watch your binge watching playlist 😂 Keep going ⛵️💚

Raising children on a boat is an amazing thing. We are refitting our second boat. Sold the first one when we moved to S. Fl. We had a rough year last year losing my mother and our Son within 7 months of each other. But we keep at it!!! We cant wait to get out there. Keep up the great videos. So look forward to them!!! Your children are learning so much that they will take with them into Adulthood !!

@SailingZatara 7 лет назад

+Peggy Catania Peggy, I'd like to read this comment in our next vlog, will that be okay? I will keep it tasteful, and if you'd prefer me not to use your name that is totally fine too! Let me know; thanks! Renee

@peggycatania2433 7 лет назад

Sailing Zatara Oh my goodness!! I’m sorry I just saw this today. I saw my name and was so surprised!! Ive gotten my husband into it now so we watch them together. You may use what ever you would like. I am sorry I missed it before your last log. Keep it up!! Looking forward to more great adventures. Love the New Hair Cut !! You guys are hysterical !!

@sailingrainbow216 7 лет назад

You have a lot of supporters out here who can’t wait to follow you on our own sailing dreams. Sail on and don’t give another thought to the naysayers.

@rickytimms1851 7 лет назад

Words of wisdom...I agree, this is the best thing you could of done for you and your family...and thats ALL that REALLY MATTERS once it all said and done !!!

@jimanderson2518 7 лет назад

Well another well candid vlog. I have been following you guys from the start. Just listening to Jack and his out look proves that this is not an ordinary 15 year old . That my friends comes from parenting, responsibility, accountablity. You would be hard pressed to find such a insitefull young man as he is . And at 15 really what more can you say ...seriously Hang in there there is still a hell of a ride ahead of you Cheers

@lems18902 4 года назад

Watching this video years later - wow...how Jack has grown and matured! What a great time capsule you’ve created for your family!

@doughboy2975 7 лет назад

@kit2130 4 года назад

I agree 1000% with you. There is never a perfect time for anything. Plus if you wait too long you might not have the strength & energy to do the work. You gotta do what’s right for you because it’s your life. How many kids get to grow up this way? Most people don’t really feel alive. They work 9-5 with 2 days off. Feeling free & alive, invigorated, healthy, adventurous, confident & using all you’ve got to sustain, is living. You’re right, they don’t know because of their endoctrined narrow minded way of thinking. If they could only imagine & come to life too. What a beautiful way to live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@jameshaley8834 7 лет назад

Great episode! Really good that you have the intelligence and, particularly, the confidence, to talk aboutyour inner feelings and the conflicts that have arisen with family and friends when you undertook this great adventure. Know that you are, in this moment, exactly where you are supposed to be. Without a doubt. Keith and Renee, as well as the kids, will reap enormous rewards from this trip, not only the ups and downs and joys and fears of the experience, but you will discover that you have built wisdom and, above all, strength of character, for both yourselves and your children, that will stand you in good stead for a lifetime. I salute you for a magnificent decision. Jim

Keith... well done... you done well in the business world and done even better in not getting stuck there. With money there are people that a driven to make more and more. The question comes at some point in life as to when how much is enough... and enough for what. Life is something else and realizing this is the greatest gift money can give you once you made some

Hands down my favourite channel , Love the places you show us, Love the sailing but most of all love the rawness and honesty you show, Your kids are going to have far more richer lives for taking this journey.

Excellent video!!! Fear of the unknowns prevent 90% of the people from true fulfillment and happiness, y'all fall into the 10% category. Congrats on giving your kids education and showing them what is possible!

Keith & Renee; I for one am very jealous. As you've shown, you have to follow your heart. If people can't support that, their problem. Your children will thank you for the rest of their lives and hopefully will be in a position as adults to do the same for their children.

7,3k Have seen you guys today. I`m not the only one watching:) I have to say some words again. I have to honor the mom now. I notice that the mom (Renee) fighting and does a great afford to honor Keith during the overseas sailings. It`s really important for her to keep up with Keith and refuses to quit/give up or disappoint him. Who is making her do that, or who is telling her this?? It`s just so strange to see people practice these huge values in reality. It`s something I love about this videos. It`s so many videos out there with people cursing, yelling, fighting and are showing out really bad behavior. These people who does that have already lost their sailing adventure. It`s all about trying. We all fails all the time, but raise up then, and try again. Renee says in this episode: Quik to say "I`m sorry". If only people knew this, and practice this in their relationships. They would have a lot more victories. I wonder, who guides this family? Thanks for showing something different. It`s wonderful! Love you!! Good luck Zatara!!

My opinion: Taking the kids out to sea to explore the world is the best and most loving thing one can do! If I had kids I would not for a second want them to be stuck and indoctrinated into the slavery system. I would want my kids to be as free and independent as possible. Much love to you guys!!!

"Friends" who cant stand you all being happy remove the need for enemys. There is a saying in german i like "Jeder sieht wenn ich betrunken bin, aber keiner sieht wenn ich Durst habe" which i translate to "Everybody sees if i am drunk, but no one notices if i am thirsty" After watching nearly all of your videos i never had the impression that your kids are not in the best hands. You give them the chance to see things and collect experiences not many get to see. They get to know how diverse the world actually is and how normal that is. If that knowledge were widespread, the world would be a better place.

Well Said. Focusing on the Joy of living and letting go of things that are not important. Our time on this earth is limited.

Navegar é um grito de liberdade que poucos aceitam,então siga seu coração 73/5000 Sailing is a cry of freedom that few accept, so follow your heart. ⛵🗽

You are absolutely right, Keith! There is no other comment necessary!

@frankschwarz6058 7 лет назад

Hi Keith: Great statement, I can not agree more with you. It is unfortunate that sometimes in situations in which you would expect your "friends" to support your decision you encounter only bad comments and discouragement. I have had the same experience. I believe some of those "friends" are jealous of that you are doing what you want to do instead of continuing in the rat race. I admire your decision to take your wife and kids and see the world, this experience will bring all of you more together and the memories are just priceless.

@cyclomaniac9086 7 лет назад

Kudos to your family and utmost respect to the two of you. Thankfully my kids are through college and on their life journeys; but, if they were your kids ages; I'd get them out of the public indoctrination system immediately and into home school immediately. ... and you guys have taken it to the next level. You will never regret this and your kids will thank you for the honest view of the world and a real and useful education. Stay the course.

@svamandolin3546 7 лет назад

agree. Education today is using yesterday's playbook. Kids need to be involved and engaged, not taught. They can get every tidbit of information with a few clicks these days. Wisdom from experience and engagement with the world should be the new playbook. Great speach from Jack Ma at Bloomberg Global Forum on this topic

Awesome! You guys are rockstars...... who cares about the doubters. Its your life not theirs.

@rhettshipley4593 Год назад

We are the lucky ones Keith. To follow you on your journey. My only hate is that you are doing it and I am not because I lack wheels, Thats what we call em down under lol. Don't even second guess yourself mate you have done the best thing ever for your family. They will thank you in the future. PS you were pretty good looking 5 years ago haha.

I have followed ya'll since the first episode and I have always been impressed with you, Renee and your kids. My GF and I have a 2 year plan to head south under sail (wish us luck!). I'm lucky to come from a family that has lived on the Chesapeake Bay for centuries so I have not had much at all in the way of push back to the idea of gong to sea. But CJ (my GF) is from the Chicago burbs and has NEVER had anything to do with water other than the occasional dip inna pool, but even her friends have been overall amazingly supportive of her joining me on my dream. They have their fears and concerns of course, but that's just common sense. But they are HAPPY for her to have found a guy who HAS a dream and is working and dedicated to making it happen... and she is just as dedicated and working just as hard. I cannot help but wonder if all those naysayer are really, deep down inside, just jealous of you for having the BALLS to follow your dream and share it with your kids. Keep at it and to hell with those who would hold you back my friend!! Good on ya!
