Family Struggle: The Internet & Staying Connected at Sea 📶 (Ep 185)

[@SailingZatara]

Thanks for watching, guys! As I put the info together about the man-made islands, Keith told me, "Renee, the sea levels aren't rising," and I said "but that's what the Maldivian website says?!" So I really don't know what is fact and what is fiction, but it was fun to learn about all this while building this episode! Love to all! 😘 ~Renee

[@kyladavenport2812]

Love. Keith’s right

[@nannynadia]

Lots of reputable sources and data prove the sea level is rising! Does Keith not believe in climate change? As a sailor ?

[@floridabeardedwoodworker]

@@nannynadia show me pictures of islands under water that aren't thousands of years old....

[@ddhsd]

Ocean level has been lower in the past especially during our periodic ice ages when so much water is locked in ice on land. Warming planet means less ice Earth has been warming for 10, 000 years eventually another ice age will take hold (unless man stops it)

[@celtichero9]

I have 1 suggestion and 1 question!! Keith keep standing at the waters edge and how long can you hold your breath?? LOL

[@kit2130]

As the kids grow up & live their lives this time on the water with their parents, bis going to be their fondest memories & it will always bring a strong bond to them as siblings as they age & time passes.

[@shellsea9520]

What a lovely comment 💖

[@frammus]

My regret is that I watched all your videos from number 1 to today’s and now instead of seeing a few a day I am limited to one a week (or even less frequently when you take a break). More, please!

[@j.gravett2878]

Love that intro!!! Keith's constant maintenance skills & patience are beyond compare! 💙💚💜

[@sincerelyy]

“You’re my hero :)” Quickly responds: “back at ya!” These two have a different type of love, I couldn’t imagine all the things theyve been through that have made their relationship stronger. They are wonderful and really good parents.

[@scottwalker7361]

Renee, I have commented before about the quality of your content and you keep raising the bar. Your new edit on your Intro is what our kids say... "The Dope"! I love your split transition with your kids. As a video producer myself, I follow very few creators every week to see their latest work and You and Your Crew are at the Top of my list. I have my video production team watch your Videos for inspiration and creativity ideas. I love to walk into our studio on a Thursday morning to hear "Float Away" cranked up loud and the crew is eating donuts and coffee while watching ... All I can say is "WOW '' and I needed to say Thanks!

[@shellsea9520]

COOL 💖❤🕶 and very True Top quality work

[@lorenclifton110]

Couldn’t agree more Scott👍👍

[@andyman3309]

"The dope" 😅 spoken like a true parent

[@t.j.sortino7844]

How absolutely stunning the Maldives are! A true paradise on earth! I love the chat about high speed data connection while traveling the world with your children! I wouldn't want unlimited data while exploring the most beautiful places on earth with my family either. I would want epic memories of fun in the sun, sea, and sand! Beautiful editing BTW!!! Your videos keep getting better and better! It's obvious, you have a passion for videography, editing software, and film production. You guys have built a wonderful channel, and a huge following, All of which, is well deserved. May your family always be filled with the joy and love that makes you all so appealing to watch.

[@billyself7908]

I don't think that anybody could have said that any better

[@seanstout7904]

It's amazing how I have watched every episode you have and I have such a happy feeling and love to see your family grow and work together. You are all living by example and I think the way we should be acting. Always spreading love, friendship, team building and appealing ways to bond. May everyone you meet and travel with as well as all of the ports in all of the countries see your spirit and always welcome you with kindness and open arms. I pray that you can remain inspired and healthy to continue to inspire and encourage others to follow their path and dreams no matter where it might lead them. With any luck one day it might be like yours

Another great video Renee, all your hard work is really showing. Warm regards to your family and thoughts and prayers for those in Ukraine!

[@billm4544]

Your videos have brought me so much joy over the past 2 years. This one made me smile. Y’all have a great life.

[@Scruffers2011]

As a tugboat captain, I know that there are are times at sea that are filled with reflection and introspection. Have any of you had those moments where you wonder what is the meaning of life....and what did you come up with as an answer? Is it only to pursue fun and pleasure? Also, doesn't Kate get lonely without other girls her age to hang out with and talk girl stuff with? Also, Jack's impression at the beginning of the video was amazing. He's a natural actor.

[@Minecraft-gw1jv]

Wow. Whoever flies that Drone is Amazing at it… ❤️

[@gjef9971]

The standard of video production and editing these days guys is amazing...well done mom

[@kylekriegel2742]

I’ve been watching these videos none stop the last few days while I quarantine away from the family. Enjoy the show from a fellow Texan!

[@MarkSnop]

Fun times as always! Thanks for another great video!

[@TanyardTerrace]

Jacks impression of Patrick Bateman was spot on I was expecting him to whip out a business card at any moment lol

[@treywest268]

Just want to let you all know, your videos are a respite in a World that is going horribly wrong. You bring a very welcome relief and allow me to know that there still is good people out there just living their lives. That last sentence also applies, to not only your family but, to all the people that you come in contact with. Whether they are fellow travelers or the citizens of other countries, they is a huge World of very good people. ( I guess the better people don't get to the upper echelons of governments.) Thank you for giving me the joy I felt from watching your video tonight and as with all the rest. Blessings be upon you all with good winds and friendly oceans.

[@ginaboyd2461]

Renee, I never tire of your opening. Love you guys.

[@leemiller2811]

Great video. Thanks. Your kids are blessed to have parents who value relationships over things. 🌺

[@Piratedaveslife]

What a great story to watch. I love a good adventure. Thank you all! I've been watching for 4 years. Safe sailing, safe travels, safe passage. Keep then coming!

[@johnmiddleton6252]

I love your videos and I wish they were much longer. Your videos are by far the best quality out there, excellent work, thank you so much!

[@Sgt_MoDog_USMC]

So interesting to learn about the manmade Islands and how they start, build them up, relocate people and turn them in to new established settlements!

[@bassplayinpapa]

Renee, love the new opening and totally enjoyed all your “messing around” in this video. Excellent.

[@sharibenjiemahigab9260]

Jack - on the job training. Priceless. He appears he enjoys sailing life. But the pro will be Kate. That is my prediction.

[@gsadventures678]

The best opening theme song ever... and Zatara knows it!

[@doratheexplorerbegins]

We really like the ‘refresh’ of your video. Kids are growing up fast

Yeah , I completely agree with what takes up our time in phones, laptop, computer... An money ,I'd rather have a full filled soul than anything outward.. I only feel that way since I lost everything to fire an became homeless... Saving for a sailboat... Cuz, I wud rather be sailing an struggling in happiness than on the hard having it hard ... If that made sense.. thanks for sharing your lives with us.. grateful for the lessons an the love.. an the giggles an belly laughs.. Fare winds an following sea's guy's ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@angelstevens2782]

Greatest overall video encompassing multiple topics. Jumping into the dingy Keith, one of these days the brakes are going to fail. So be ready for the dive (waiting for a 10 over 10 from it). Thanks Rene. Cheers!

[@seeszm]

Awesome to watch Keith work side by side with Jack. Can’t wait til my boys are older and can work by my side

[@gordonbrethauer1235]

Another great video. I can’t take my eyes off of the beautiful beaches with the white sand and green waters! Thanks also for the interesting info on the man-made islands! Fascinating!

[@chadstephan6093]

First time commenting. Thanks for keeping your channel clean and educational. Not going to name names of other youtuber channels where they just show the partying lifestyle only of sailing.

[@travelwiththehales]

Love the intro, especially with the spinning earth in the background.

[@rolandcoble444]

I know keith keeps the boat runnin but Renne keeps the family running, great job love all that you guys do .

[@dennisrobinson4588]

Finally got to watch the latest videos and I must say I would rather be at sea than anywhere else. But until I get my boat I will live thru you guys on Zatara and other sailors I watch, thanks again. Good sailing and God bless to you all.

Thanks for sharing. Blessings all!

On the surface, it appears that you are all, done with boat life! You have been everywhere and now you are ready for the next adventure; underwater life on (or should i say) in, a home submersible!!

[@supercubguy7566]

Keith, clogged cap tube usually means something is giving up in your compressor. It’s a sealed system, so unless someone opened the refrigeration system and let in moist air or contaminants, expect it to happen again once it’s filled to the brim with food and in the middle of the ocean. May be a few days or months but highly likely to happen again until the root problem is discovered. He addressed a symptom that’s designed to save the evaporator if the compressor fails. Good luck and keep up the great work z-crew!

I have been so sick with SIBO caused by standard probiotics (lactobacillus and bifidobactierum , DO NOT TAKE THEM) and food poisoning 2 years ago. I just got antibiotics today as the ones called in yesterday were not covered and were 3500 dollars! I am so glad to be able to come home , rest and watch your new video today. God bless each of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. The only probioitic that has ever helped me and my family and has proven time again to be safe and not cause problems was Megasporebiotic. HIGHLY recommend and reduce most of my belly bloat and helps with low carb diets. HIGHLY recommend.

[@dennisd6527]

Another entertaining video. Truer words were never spoken concerning everyone being glued to their phones and the internet. It makes you wonder how we lived before them. Given today's climate with Russia etc., I hope all this super technology doesn't end up causing our downfall. OK, done ranting, enjoy your time in the Maldives.

[@phuketbungalowinfo2757]

been the first time on Maldives with my parents in 1975 when i was 15 and there was only 3 islands for tourists. Villingili the neighbor island from Male was totally empty with just 20 bungalows on it for tourists. I imidiately fell in love with Maldives and wanted to stay and work there. 10years later i was. It has changed a lot since i was there for the last time.

Most excellent as always. Those islands & beaches look like a water & sand lover’s parodies!

[@Lana_Warwick]

@SailingZatara - re man made Islands. When u sailed "into" Mandurah, the building surfaces at the main marina on the left (Dolphin Key), is sand pumped from the groin on the right. Sand comes up the coast with the current, groin catches, gets pumped so it doesn't block the entry.
