happy b-day

[@karaleeann1211]

Is KZbin coming close to covering your monthly expenses?

[@mullencat2]

Congratulations Keith! Renee going to have to step-up her game to keep a hold of her title of best best video production in the family after the master piece that Jack put out last week. It was by far Jacks best work and just amazing.

[@SailingZatara]

It was beautiful wasn’t it!?! We are very proud that their “Grind” will be while traveling the world and putting out breathtaking content and telling inspiring stories!

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

It was a great video ! Jack has a way of expressing emotions in his storytelling ❤

[@Niagra2011]

Keith- So very proud of you for exercise/diet/ weight loss paying off! You look much thinner. You’re loosing inches. It just takes a while for the pounds to catch up. Great job my Friend!

[@mikemendes7598]

Gotta disagree. It was slow and self indulgent, except for the whale piece, which was amazing!!

[@mullencat2]

@mikemendes7598 I'm not sure what video you watched? The shot set-ups, lighting, editing, BGM, and storyline were all extremely well done. Yes, it was Jack's story, so it was about his past six months of his life. We as adults need to encourage younger people to pursue their creative art. But I guess for some of us, it's easier to sit behind the keyboard and to tear them down.

[@ryt2carry]

Keith, you’re so right about not getting to the end. You and I are about the same age and now I’m in bed about 90% of my day, from something that’s eating my spine and joints. My plan was to have a power cat and spend time between FL and the Bahamas and even the Great Loop. Well that’s not going to happen now. Enjoy life and your family while you can. I’ve learned to enjoy things, but in a different way. I can sit up and fly a sim for a bit, 3d print things and even learn new things via the internet. I just have to do them in small chunks now. If you haven’t found joy in Jesus, you’ll never find joy in anything. Another great video. Thanks.

[@merryfergie]

3:16 I appreciate Keith for encouraging people to live life, end the grind

[@wethenorth6437]

Happy Birthday Renee ! Congratulations for breaking 300 Keith ! I'm so happy that you will see the kids and be able to hug them and love them up. Fair Winds ahead.

[@StinkinLinkin]

Shoutout to Keith for continuing to encourage all of us to get the most out of our lives and do something different. I met a pilot on my last trip to Columbus, OH who encouraged me to look into Pilot Lessons. Does Keith have any recommendations on resources/game plans to get a Pilots license? I'm based out of Dallas, TX

[@mrr8682]

take flight lessons at any of your small airports!! Addison? You need to take a beginners flight to see IF you even have it in you to be a pilot..... that's the first step.

[@StinkinLinkin]

they'll be sailing and going on adventures now that Jacks back... (we hope)

[@jjdicarloutube]

Always love watching your vids. Kids or not. But will be great to see some returning to the nest for a bit. A few comments on ‘the grind’. I’m less than 3 years out from retiring and as much as I hated the grind in the early days, I have to say, I am so damn grateful for it. Being in corporate America taught me perseverance, solidified my work ethic, honed my communication and diplomacy skills, connected me with extremely valuable relationships, paid for me to do what I truly loved for many years - coaching kids and competing in horse sports, compensated me very well as an executive assistant (thank you DC area), gave me security and made SO MANY things possible for me. I wouldn’t change a thing. For young people just entering the job market - yes, you are going to tell yourself you don’t want a desk job but there is a reason why the majority of us do it - it just works. High five to everyone who can figure out a way to not work in corporate America. I actually did step away from it at one point to do the horse thing full time and it just wasn’t enriching at all for me. No matter how much I loved the sport. But that is what makes the world go ‘round! Diversity! Renee, Keith, keep cranking out the great content. I love being a vicarious blue water sailor through you guys. Way cheaper and way more fun for me :) And Keith, congrats on the weight loss. Keep on keeping on and isn’t there something that needs fixing’ on the boat? #whereisthefixinporn?

[@tellthetruth1964]

I love the Sailing Zatara story. Although I didn’t sell everything to travel full time (because of elderly parents, children and grandchildren that I couldn’t just leave behind lol) I was able, fortunate and blessed to retire extremely early in life and I’m able to enjoy time with all of the above mentioned. We travel together from time to time but more importantly than that, we are all together and to me that is golden. To each their own of course and cheers to everyone’s own personal journey. Life is short 🥂

[@GailRomig-h5j]

For sure. Lufe is short. Enjoy all the tiny minutes. Because in a nano minute they may be gone forever 😍🥰❤️💖♥️

[@randywise5241]

Happy birthday young lady. I never looked at my job has "the grind". I loved my job. I was a carpenter and bricklayer. I loved making things that people would live in. Me and my brother built many houses. I couldn't wait to go to work and would always be at the job site early and worked late. I couldn't see myself doing another job.

[@joannabrown2995]

I also dont see my working life as a grind. I love the ebbs and flows, the friendships, I guess its about getting satisfaction from making and helping and perhaps being a part of something larger. I love to watch people on endless holidays occasionally but i don't lust after it.

[@ddevil4980]

When you love what you do, it never seems like work.

[@mrr8682]

Cool, I love rock work, carpentry and have had to fix my cracked bricks as our house has shifted... it's hard work but looks beautiful in the end (IF you appreciate that stuff)

[@shanepfohl6994]

Under 300! Congrats Keith!! This is the new grind 💪🏻

[@Derek-Adams]

We are retiring after the first of the year, 60 and 62. Having lost our parents at a young age affected our goals and how we live in the moment instead of putting it off. HOWEVER, we both realize how fortunate we are to be able to retire this young when the reality is most people cannot afford to do so. Also, most people do not have a significant KZbin income stream which greatly enables you and Renee to live the life you do (not all of us are blind to this fact). For most of us, the “grind” is how we have to live and pay the bills.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

True they make good money with KZbin but Keith made millions in the oil industry, he is a brilliant mind and knew how to make big money and make investments. Some of us aren’t that smart, didn’t have advice or mentors and didn’t find opportunities to make big money so day to day it is 😏

[@raulsolana499]

Wait, they recommend to leave the hamster wheel. And at the same time, they financially benefit from the “grind” of others. 🤔

[@mrr8682]

The Grind buys my tools, Toys and pays my bills!! I think about these young kids with MILLIONS and nothing to work for...(Football players, Rappers).... I don't enjoy the GRIND but it gives me something to look forward to, a Paycheck and being able to do this or that.. no we're not rich, we're poor and over taxed by Brandon.... I have a friend who deals with WEALTHY MILLIONARES.... He says' they are the most MISERABLE, UNHAPPY people he's ever dealt with and I believe it!!

[@ianwood4406]

@@mrr8682 Agreed, and I'm intrigued by Trump talking about the idea of eliminating income taxes and using tariffs instead!

[@chick-flick-cherry]

@@ianwood4406 You clearly do not understand tariffs.

[@robhicks81]

Awesome Keith! I am doing it with you....down 15lbs for October!

[@robinghunt]

297! Congratulations Keith. Little by little makes it easier to keep under control. Quick loss usually is followed by quick gain so keep going

[@jimherr152]

Happy birthday, Renee! Congratulations, Keith!

[@iamwesterncanadian570]

My only advice to you two as someone in their 60s and fully retired is to stay fit. Keep your center core strong, and your mind positive. Eating right is real important as you age, with limited stress. I know worrying about your childrens decisions in life can be taxing at times, but enjoy yourself by slowing down and taking me time. ENJOY, and avoid the hurricanes. I'm off to Cancun myself in a few weeks.. Good luck on the Weight loss BIG GUY..😢

[@mrr8682]

"Big guy"..... Thats like my kid calling me FAT...

[@Lea-rf5tw]

Well Thankyou for a fabulous video, I can feel the excitement coming from you both to have your children back. Keith wow you can see a huge difference in your physique, keep going. Can't wait to see the next video, watched Jacks video last night in Tonga, bless JJ's family, such a lovely young man. Jack and Kate having such an amazing time in Tonga, and those whales, made me cry. Lots of love. xxx

[@TLannie]

Keith, what an awesome job you’re doing on your journey to loose weight. I struggle with this and know it’s not always easy. Keep up the good work.

[@ryan625]

I needed the part Keith talked about changing routines! I’ve been grinding for 15 years and in 9 months I’ll be taking a month off to do what I want, which involves taking a big trip in my camper trailer!

[@WCTarheel]

Who needs Better Help when we have Sailing Zatara? I always feel better after watching your videos. You and Keith have raised an amazing family and if the hints are right, it could be expanding.

[@dropdead266]

What a dumb thing to say. Everyone needs therapy.

[@BarbraAllbritton]

Wow, congratulations Keith! I bet seeing your kids again is the best. ❤❤❤

[@hopefulhope9123]

Excellent job Keith you can definitely see a difference you've definitely toned up and you have tanned up and you both are looking amazing❤ may the good Lord just be with you all and your family and you be safe

Welcome to Northern VA, glad to have you guys visit. We enjoy watching your adventures.

[@tambrabullock]

Beautiful vid, Renee... I so enjoy you bringing us a life that we can live vicariously. You guys are fun people, thank you :)

[@IWannaGoSailing]

Happy birthday, Renee! I drove on the left side of the road back in 2015 when visiting Ireland. Even though it was the first time it felt so natural. Hope to visit some countries where they drive on the left again in the very near future. Looking forward to seeing your guest next episode.

[@SeaWindandNaia]

Congratulations Keith, you cracked the 300 🎉.

You two remind me of my parents.i look forward to watching yall every week! Thank you for sharing your life! God speed

[@stuartrobertson6882]

Great work Keith, Looking much better. I love your realistic outlook. Excited to see the kids back.

[@brucerhodes8197]

In 1981 I got stationed in Germany while serving in the US Air Force, I was surprised to see that Europeans drove on the right side of the road. You see a few James Bond movies growing up and you think all of Europe is going to be the same as the UK. It sure made things easier, all I really had to get used to was how much faster traffic moved... I could hardly pedal my Opel Ascona fast enough to drive on the autobahn. Side note for proud parents.... Jack's latest video was top shelf stuff, he did an outstanding job!!

[@thejunkjournalco6812]

Hi guys, I absolutely love watching all your uploads and content. I’ve recently been forced to go into retirement at 55. My husband is yet got another five years before he can retire. We don’t have much super and it’s a little bit scary because I was my own boss so now that money is not coming in but you guys always inspire me to make the most of everything so we have a little caravan and we have a motorbike and for now it will do, in between we keep pushing our boundaries to go even further. Thank you for all your inspiration

[@EndoftheBlock7224]

Keith, I'm 100% with you on AVOIDING the grind. I've done a good job so far but need to jump back in to make some money. Love watching you guys when I get the chance

[@dewaldkritzinger3568]

Thank you, Rene, for the somewhat extended provisioning footage. I really enjoyed that.

[@richardhainsworth5415]

We visited Washington a few years ago on the 4th of July, my wife's birthday. I loved the capital; it was the cleanest city I have ever been to. We are British and love the place. We spent a day in Arlington Cemetery; it was an experience. We will return.

[@tamiebarnes7287]

I have watched your kids grow from the beginning, now that my husband is retired, he watches too! thank you for sharing your family. Jack did an amazing job on his video! Talent runs deep.

[@mickvr9361]

I have found using a tiny sticker useful as a guide when changing from right hand drive to left hand drive and vice versa. When changing sides position the car comfortably close to the kerb as if driving then place a sticker on the windscreen where the centre line is. That sticker becomes a reference point until you get comfortable with your positioning in a lane. Doesn't help with figuring out roundabouts etc, but at least you know you are in the lane despite the change in perspective to driving position. This also helps when getting used to driving a vehicle that is imported from a country that drives on the opposite side of the road.

[@reforma720]

Hey Keith, great rant! You really got me thinking about what the heck am I doing with my life! While the familiarity of the grind can make you feel safe and comfortable its no way to live life. We don't need to be a slave to the grind, you just have to be brave enough to break out of the grind (self imposed prison) and get out there and start living!

[@jillr759]

Take a baby step and keep us posted!

[@reforma720]

Thank you, I will!

[@Sommers234]

It was a great boat show, as usual! Keith, as I age I found that good nutrition and some appropriate supplements make a world of difference !! Keep up the good work. Before I knew it, I lost much of the desire for sweets and excessive carbs. One big thing that helped me for years now, is I make a large shake with crisp vegetables, coconut water (or whatever one likes) organic protein powder, a little fruit for taste and whatever good things you like--flaxseed for example. I use the LARGE Ninja, so it lasts me 3 days, just give it a quick blend every time before pouring. It's no fun making one daily. Having it handy in the fridge for breakfast or an anytime means a healthy snack instead of grabbing processed food, bread, crackers, sweets (no!) etc. Note, I always put the fresh batch pitcher in the freezer for an hour after making it to get it to safe temperature otherwise it could take hours to get there in the fridge. This way it keeps fine for 3 days easy. Just my .02 one sailor to anudda.

[@stilcrazychris]

Congratulations Keith. The traffic in Costa Rica gave me panic attacks. No street signs only landmarks. When you're @ a light & you're in the crosswalk, you're going to get run over. You're stopped @ the light & when it turns green everyone honks & goes. The motorcyclers go in between the cars up the lanes. Thank God for Xanax & good thing I brought my whole prescription because when I got back home I made an appointment with the doctor & he refilled those puppies for me after I explained everything to him. The doctor took his family there & when he got back to town he had to give his wife some Xanax too. So he totally understood my problem real well after he got back to town. We both was in bad shape after that trip.

Just saw your yacht in Admiralty Bay, Bequia recently as my wife and I were pulling up anchor off the shore of Princess Margaret Beach to return the bareboat catamaran we chartered out of St. Vincent. Was great to finally see your boat up close as I have been following your channel for years. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming video footage. We absolutely LOVE Bequia, my platoon Sergeant from when I was active-duty in the Marine Corps was from Bequia. I tried to ask around about him while there but I forgot his first name. Hope to run into you guys in the near future and hopefully get to chat. Btw, I’m from Washington, D.C. We went to the Annapolis Boat Show last year and didn’t go this year because we had this trip already paid for to St. Vincent & The Grenadines for diving and sailing
