I agree. IMO Jack is calm water...I think there is great depth to Jack...I sure like to see more. But then; I'm an introverted type A scorpio and that makes me very guarded and private. So... Jack, You Be You 😉👌👍👍👍

Not the best education. Can you imagine if everyone received the same education as these three? There would be no doctors, no scientists, no engineers, no architects just to name a few.

When I was 19 and in the USAF I spent two years on Sardinia with only 44 other Americans at a NATO base in Decimomannu Sardinia. Where's Decimomannu? right beside Decimoputzu!

[@myinfinitestate1586]

G'day Zatara, I reckon if it wasn't for Keith's ability to repair, replace, rebuild, and MacGyver, just about every part on SV Zatara; I doubt she'd still be sailing! Keith is definitely Superman mate. Cheers from Mallorca, Spain 🇪🇸 🇦🇺 .

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

While replacing brushes is a fairly basic job, grinding down some other set of brushes with a Dremel must have taken forever... and probably about as fun as brushing your teeth for an hour. I'm sure Keith will order a dozen motor brushes, so he never has to do that again.

[@janana6786]

Wow Jack, your strength swimming against that wind was amazing!

[@stephengreen2898]

I cant Believe you dont have over a million subscribers! Excellent show and Renae does such an incredible job with these weekly videos. I always look forward to thursday when these videos drop! Love you guys and pray for ur family as you sail away across the seas! Blessings 🙂

[@brucerhodes8197]

I got a flashback watching Keith make his own set of brushes. In 1978-80 I was serving stateside in the Air Force, bought my first car, a 1973 Chevy Impala Custom, 350cu in with a 4 barrel carb. Shortly after buying it, the starter failed... I knew nothing about it, but figured if it's broke, what harm could I possibly do by taking it apart and looking at it... just like the fan motor, it was obvious the brushes were the problem. I had to use my bicycle to go after parts, so I went to the closest place I thought would have brushes, an appliance store. Bought the first set I found that looked close but not smaller than the set that came out... took them home and used a regular file to trim them down... It was my first car and my first attempt of any kind at auto maintenance... when I finished putting everything back together and turned the key I was never more proud and excited hearing that 350 motor rumble... Ok, got kinda long winded there, just wanted to add, those kids are miles ahead of most high school kids in the States, you can't put a price on the kind of education they're getting. The only thing they are missing would be some of the social events of high school such as dances especially a Prom... and team sports, there is a lot of value participating in team activities. All in all, I'd put their odds for success well above most people their age...

[@JW-jl8iq]

Those kiddos I love watching. You guys created a group that has made a big impact. Zatara rocks

[@skohaya]

This is the best education. Learning from the family: 2 parents and siblings. Having chores and increasing responsibility with increasing maturity. Seeing the world and learning things through your passion. Finn learns math and entrepreneurship through his music. All of them, learning how to problem solve and function as a cooperative team. Verses reading about life locked in a classroom worried about bullying and cancel culture. Sailing, a beautiful life. Blessings!

[@anjaandmichael]

I am always amazed at just how much knowledge Keith has on all the repairs he is faced with. Absolutely impressive at all he/family can get done while at sea. Much love for all you guys and the way you work/play together. Thanks for sharing your lives with us, we are very fortunate to peak into just a glimpse of what it takes to sail around the world.

Try an eye patch over either eye it will help with seasickness. Pirates and old salty dogs used them for 3 reasons. 1. Not get sick. 2. They lost an eye. 3. It was dark below, a eye already adjusted to low light allowed immediate movement below

[@JosephTMeiroseIV]

Troubleshooting/fixing electronics and mechanical systems has got to be one of the most valuable blue water sailing/motor yachting skills to have. Only bested by sailing knowledge and medical. My wife is a ER PA and I'm a retired surgical first assistant so the medical part is covered. Sailing knowledge is coming along but I have no idea how to learn fixing electrical/mechanical "stuff" as well as Keith does.

[@marcopolo2893]

[@JonLynchIsAlive]

It's great to see the kids embracing their passions and pursuing financial independence all while learning from their experiences in the world and under mom and dad's guidance. Also, Keith - you are a stud dude. I really don't think there's much you can't fix. I try to fix everything I can on my own and learn as I go. Keith is a fantastic model of that!

If that fan motor every stops working again, I guarantee you those soldering joints have failed. =p I guess you had to work with what you had. But there was not nearly enough heat in the parts being soldered. That's most probably why the tin didn't flow, but chunked/balled up. Next time, try to get it hotter before adding tin. Just a tip. 😊

Jack has grown into a well rounded young man. He will be an excellent Captain.

[@audikool]

The key to achieve this life is what Renee said at the beginning. They owned some oil and gas businesses, grew them and sold them when the time came for them to move on. Many people aspire to live in a boat and make a living out of it, but have no savings, no 2 year plan, no solid income. To achieve this huge hack on life, it's necessary to first grind and do the other stuff that's not YT friendly, while saving and planning realistically how to buy the boat, afford the constant expenses, plan the trips and then go and make it real.

I have a spaceship that won't start, I wonder if Keith can fix it 😏

[@IntubateU]

A few years ago I was on a cruise from Civitavecchia to Fort Lauderdale, with several stops along the way in France, Spain, and the Canary Islands. The night we left Toulon, we hit the Mistral Winds with winds of 60 kts gusting to 70 kts, and seas 3 - 7 meters... all of which I freakin LOVED! Having done most of my seafaring in the US Navy on a fleet ballistic missile submarine... cruising smoothly under the weather, it was exciting to see what ole Mother Nature could throw at us. :)
