Hi, guys! No need to apologize for anything. This is your experience and your perspective. If others don't like it they can get their own boat 😁. Thank you for keeping the channel going! My family hopes to follow in your wake a few years from now. Thank you for the inspiration and hope! Stay safe and awesome!

After a 12 hour working day on the computer, I saw that you just uploaded a new video. So, I poured myself a whiskey and escaped into the South Pacific for 16 minutes. Thanks guys, MUCH appreciated.

Don't change a thing on the intro. It's the perfect length - not tediously long, not abruptly short. It's fun, colourful, and the music is perfect. I agree with your 60s/70s tv analogy - it tells what you're doing and introduces everyone. Ignore the armchair editors - you've nailed it for length and content. As a sailor who said "this can only end in tears" when I saw your first video, I'm still very happy for you, and still glad to have been proved wrong. Keep going for those of us who can't, stick together, and have fun. :-)) Lance H SV Great Escape

Hey guys, I agree with your assessment of the Galapagos Islands. Very interesting you thinking about a Cat. I can't give you any advise on the subject except what you already know 'space over points of sail'. It will be very interesting to watch your story unfold in relation to this. you're doing great.

The intro is fine. Can't be compared to sitcoms because we as viewers initiate watching as opposed to the other way around. I skip past it because I like starting where the story left off. But I don't mind the intro at all! Thanks for inviting us into your life at sea. My life is on the smaller freshwater sea of Lake Michigan and we get out there as much as possible but I love vicariously exploring other places too. Fair winds to you and yours!

Hi Zatara UK family here in London we watched your videos for the last few months and think there great! We went back to beginnng and watched the whole lot we did the same with our two boys when they were teenagers in a large RV around Us 8 years on and off - believe me it is the best thing for the family the reunions and memories you are making now will stay with your family for ever - take no notice of any negatives regarding schooling they learn with you much more than any system in school - good work enjoy every minute it will last a lifetime into many generations of your family - keep filming and having fun.

Slowly catching up with you peeps, I love the laid back commentary. There is none of the "Our way is the THE way", instead you guys have gone ... "We are doing it this way... we'll let you know if it goes all to hell" I like it, you admit you aren't experts, and are taking us on your learning curve. Renee, your videograghy and editing is coming on leaps and bounds, THANKYOU for your efforts. I'm another old timer that was bought up in the TV era where intro's were important. I love watching the photo scheme change as your family has new experiences. Thumbs up from me. Considering this episode is now 11 months old, I can only assume that your subscribers and viewers are like those annoying car drivers that everyone hates (including themselves) who find it to hard to move a hand 5 inches to turn an indicator on (In this case make the effort to "like" or "dislike") Come on folks. This family has taken us into their world, spend hours of their time editing and uploading, and whether you like it or not, you cant be bothered giving them a single click as feed back ??? 27,494 views. 2k (2000ish) likes, 11 dislikes. Honestly folks, with the way KZbin algorithms work, this and a lot of other great quality reality based channels are going to slide into obscurity and be dominated by the "Clickbait" channels unless people make a 1 second effort to like or dislike, particularly within the first 48 hours of posting the video. Stepping of my soapbox now. Thankyou Renee, Keith and kids for the effort you put in to entertain us.

Yup! Best part of my day. There's always a smile of anticipation hearing "Float Away". Know all the lyrics, happily singing along with a bit of excitement because it means another chapter of Zartara is about to start. Hearing Delos's intro "Ramukanji" affects me the same way.

I got the idea I wanted to set a goal for learning to sail and going cruising. I found you videos last week while looking into cats. Since then I’ve been binge watching them along with some others in my family. I’d comment on all of them so far but we have it playing on the tv haha. I want to thank you for being so open so honest and allowing those who are interested in an alternative life to be able to follow along and stoke the fire 🔥 for our goals! We love getting to know all of you and hope that your latest season (during/post Covid lock down) is going smoothly! Thank you and I’m sure we’ll have questions for you along the way but for now I’m learning all I can. P.S. my dad was a lot like Keith he had dreams of doing this with our family nearly 20 years ago. He was starting to plan things when sadly he passed away suddenly. It’s been 18years this summer he’s gone and well seems my life is headed back in the direction it was when I was a teenager a longing to be on the open water. I think it’s a beautiful thing to have done this with and for your family. Bless you all and happy sailing ⛵️ 😁☀️🌴 ~Kate

Your take it right on, Keith. In my travels and also in the States you can't help but notice the more the government gets involved with anything the quicker things start going downhill.

Take it from one southern mom to another, tell them to “KISS YOUR GRITS”! 😂 Love the videos and keep them coming. You have inspired my husband and I to purchase a boat. We have waited and waited but after watching you guys we will find something. Probably won’t travel like you guys but definitely tired of renting boats and moving into the purchase faze. Kids are beautiful and obviously you all are doing an awesome job raising them. Know you are an inspiration and sending good vibes your way. 😊

Love your videos, very well done. My family of 5 have been cruising Caribbean '97-'99 and Med -sailed over in 2000, 8 years of criss crossing the med -then back to the Azores in 2008 - and northern Europe 2011. We have done 1-6months per year and just put the boat on the hard while we go back to work and school - we are currently in Les Sables d'Olonne France near where your boat was built and our Beneteau '93 - 51 Oceanis, the model with the 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, everyone got their own room. Keep giving the tech stuff Kieth, I love your work around for winds and weather via sat phone. My kids are now 27-32 and still dream of coming to the boat, they got hooked on it. Over the next 2 seasons we are planning on heading back to the Caribbean then thru the Panama and then retrace you. Thanks for these videos, I know they are lots of work. Safe travels

I see the first mention of thoughts towards a cat as I work through from the start of your journey. Mentioned then about the choice of a Beneteau and a hull shape more for coastal sailing but you've shown that your 55 will cross an ocean even if 'leaning over' somewhat. I can see that a great family under deck space and wide aft cockpit were part of your decision and the boat has done you proud. Thanks for the honest and interesting input you both make into the videos and ..... your kids are a credit to you.

We go to boat shows here on the West coast (Northern California), and they are finally bringing in Catamarans to look at which is awesome. Our family loves watching your family sail and we can't wait to be a cruising family too. I'm not 40 yet (37 currently, husband is over 40 though) but I watched a bunch of Gilligans island reruns in the 80's. We love your intro, keep up the great work.

Playing catch up here, so I'm binge watching these... Renee, I'd like to say I LOVE your intro. The graphics, camerawork and cuts but most of all the music... it blends the camerawork and graphics and picks you up and leads you right into the show... I always find myself humming along with that beat... SOOO good! While I may be one of the ones who will disagree with a cat over a mono (sorry Renee but I LOVE the heelin' feelin'!!) You aint' really sailin' if yer on on the lean!! As for othr aspects of Cat's... while thy don't heel and they are "faster" on the points of sail they sail well, they do not point as well as mono's... and even die hard cat lovers will tell you they are "bumpy"... they can have a very "choppy'" feel in the swells, very uncomfortable as compared to the "rollieness" of mono's... (Do NOT get me started on the purchase and running expense of cat's in comparison to mono's either... $$$$)... But, you are the guy at the wheel and it's your family and your adventure... I'll stay subscribed until ya'll drop anchor for the last time... Fair winds and following seas.

Great to see your subscribers finally shooting up in last couple of weeks. Also I love your intros and all the music choices. You're correct in that it does a great job at introducing everyone and gives a great 'tv show' vibe which the whole family can sit down together to enjoy.

You both are providing an amazing adventure for your kids. They will appreciate it all the more in years to come when they look back at what you all accomplished working together as a family.

Loved seeing that Episode 35 was coming my way on a Wednesday. I always get a little antsy when I don't see you on Tuesday mornings. Looks like the little kids are having a ball now that they have new friends to play with. I am subscribed but if there is anything else I can do to help, please let me know. As I have said before, you are my favorite family and a magnificent credit to America. Make sure you do your usual thorough and complete research before you get the Cat. I understand they can pitchpole in a hard blow. Either way, getting one or not, you'll be all right because you ARE all right. All the best, Jim Haley

I am a subscriber and I love your videos, especially the fact that you do show not only the good times but some of the bad that goes a long with this incredible lifestyle you have chosen to share with us. I honestly can't think of a better way to raise and spend time with your family. Your kids will have seen and experienced so much more of the important things in life than most of us can ever hope to. Cheers, Jesse

Great video...cat will give you a lot more room for the family to move around and be comfortable. I think not constantly heeling will be a refreshing change as well. Thanks for taking the time to do the videos and the quality is excellent. Cheers

The intro is fine, love the music, the family and all the antics, and I wouldn't change it. Also, the cat might be the way to go, but really spend some time comparing the differences first. I really am enjoying your travels, thanks.

Hi again. We stumbled across your videos three days ago, love them heaps. REAL. We went back to the beginning & now we’re up EP 35. We haven’t seen it yet, but your on your way to Australia, so a shame we have missed you. The kids are leaning more on your adventure than they would in school. Will be be catching up to your latest episode soon. Cheers Roz and Graham.

Love your videos. BTW I am subscribed and check the like button every time. The intros are awesome. Sets the mood which never fails to provide a few moments of enjoyment as often as you can send them to us. Don't stop. Would love to have done what you are all doing when I was younger.
