This is the end. 😢 A final Goodbye to our Red Sea Crew (Ep 220)

[@jaa1141]

There were some comments here that criticized the inclusion of Renee's root canal. I think it's so informative to know what it's like to live on a boat and how health matters are managed in other countries. I hope that Renee does not remove stuff like this because it is so informative!!!

[@alexanderbemar2637]

Yup, cheap in other countries and islands.

[@vijayandrenvadiveloo7064]

Agreed! It’s better to have those information in order to better understand the costs and procedures in other countries! The Q & A sessions are great!! Keep up the good work. Love from Malaysia!!❤️

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

Agree on that. However, root canals are not recommended. There is science behind the claim, that root canals really just encapsulates bacteria a death tissue around and then death root of a tooth, which is not great. That could leak and for instance cause inflammation in other parts of the body, causing really serious health issues down the line. Mercola has warned against it in the past in many articles and recommend a full pull of the tooth instead.

[@tammyford5737]

I think it's very important and informative to include things like Healthcare because it's part of life and things happen, accidents happen and people need to know what they can expect in those situations. Keep giving us as much information as possible! Reality is that **** happens!

The one boy that left early from the boat leaves me wondering what he was thinking even going on the boat in the first place. I could see if he was sick and had to go home but other than that he should have stuck it out and stayed . They all got a couple of years of learning in one month of time by traveling on a yacht to various places . You people sure did pack a great deal of fun into that trip for them .

[@linbooma1]

Yep that’s what I said the second I heard he was leaving

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

After hearing these kids talk today, I think he left because of the deep talk and differing opinions. Ethan said be prepared to stand behind what you believe and prepare to know why. Keith is a red blooded American patriot, imagine being on the opposing side and being asked why you believe what you do by him ? so to a kid who just believes what he is told and doesn’t have anything to back it up …..Keith is a very smart man…..just sayin’ Just my humble opinion 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kudos to the Whitaker family for doing this. This not only introduces people to sailing but to a more independent life. How to figure out and solve problems on your own. Not to be so dependent on what most landlubbers are so dependent on everyday.

Man, I have a love hate relationship with this one !!! It makes me so happy and so sad 😏 I think all these kids, Z kids also, gained 10 years of maturity, what a fabulous experience and opportunity for them !!! And it says A LOT of Keith and Renee, because pleasing a boat load of teens and having them come together took some gentle but firm mentoring….well done !!! I’m sitting her crying but can’t wait for the reunion…..and their will be a reunion ❤️ Blessings to each and every one of you !!! Happy 20th Jack !!! You are looking so handsome these days with your hair a normal cut and clean shaven !

[@ariag.8745]

Couldn't agree more. I've been watching since the beginning and while I agree that Renee and Keith are providing their kids with an invaluable experience it comes with a cost too. Kate was this bubbly, outgoing little girl when they started who absolutely adored making friends when they were in port long enough for her to do so. She was clearly very gregarious, so outgoing and look how much that has changed in the last 3 years! Especially with the older sister Anna gone, she's now just got two brothers and she just looks so much more withdrawn and quiet to me. It was really great to see how she came out of her shell with the girls around and my heart just aches for her to lose these newfound friends and be back you know to just Mom, Dad and the boys. Kids need social stimulation when they're growing up and again while I acknowledge that these kids are receiving an invaluable experience being on the boat, they're also losing out on a lot of really important things that are part of their teen years, you know being social with other kids, learning how to interact with other kids but mostly the friendships and the nurturing that comes from those friendships...that's really invaluable as a teen is growing up.

[@paullupas7705]

It’s ok, she’ll make friends in collage in a year or so. with that bubbly and too friendly personality as a preteen you can easily mess up your life. Keith and Rene never doubt yourself as parents. You and only you know your kid. You were the ones who changed their diapers 10 times a day for their first years, soothed them to sleep, stayed up with them who knows how many nights. I only wish one day I can be as good parents as you two are.❤

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

@@ariag.8745 I feel like any type of parenting and life style has has a cost, good and bad, positive and negative. We are imperfect people and parenting is a big practice playing field that we don’t get to redo. I was listening to a video yesterday by Curtis stone, he had his wife on for the first time and they were discussing raising their kids and homeschooling/unschooling, meaning no curriculum, child led learning. He was an urban farmer but they have moved to a mountain top and live off grid so this video was quite different. Anyhow they made some reference to books about teaching kids and one thing they learned about was “peer attachment”, it was quit interesting. It’s about keeping your kids physically and emotionally close, as a family. I want to learn more about it but it makes sense, think of why kids join gangs, why are girls giving up their bodies before marriage, why do kids resent parents ? It’s because they didn’t spend enough time with parents and get attached to others. Kate is a beautiful girl, she has a wonderful upbringing, the close time she has with her family may very well be what saves her from a world that wants to use her (and we don’t want to see Keith go to prison, hehe) ! Of course she may feel blue or lonely at times, what teenager doesn’t ? But the parents put a lot of effort into raising these kids and make sure they have opportunities. Seems they have more than a lot of land locked kids….travel the world, water sports, guitar playing, skateboarding, sailing, navigation….. Kate will be fine, she is learning life in a positive atmosphere and she will adjust fine if she decides to go live on land someday. Oh and if she wasn’t able to adjust socially she wouldn’t have fit in with this group of kids coming onboard. All these kids are blessed by this life !

[@1stdean0]

OMG, another great episode! I have no words. You have not only changed a few kids lives forever but many of us watching have learned so much from watching you all. I just lost my granddaughter at 15 and seeing how well Kate is handling life with these kids and teaching them lessons makes me think of my granddaughter. Jack and Finn, what wonderful and talented boys! Happy Birthday Jack! I hope you never leave the boat but I’m sure someday you will want to. Mom and dad! You have done wonderful things here!

[@MadgazelleFilms]

Keith and Renee - I used to be a high school teacher for 17 years (fellow Texan here!) and I just want to say how wonderful your kids are. Each one of them has clearly been encouraged to develop into who they really are at their core. It feels rare these days for parents to nurture/allow individuality rather than imposing their own dreams - or the traits the “world” values - upon their own kids (at least in my experience). For example, I just loved the way Kate lit up talking about the deep conversations everyone had over the course of the month. You could tell that was something she values (me too!) and I loved hearing her verbalize how important that felt. Anyway, I just wanted to pass my compliments along to you since I’m sure you have days where you question your own parenting, etc. You shouldn’t! The Whitaker kids are lovely. 🥰 Unrelated: I am extremely sorry for all the people commenting on the possibility of romances etc. That’s really nobody’s business except the people involved, and I’m afraid that as “viewers,” we seem to forget the people on the screen are HUMAN BEINGS with actual lives! 🤦‍♀ I’m so embarrassed whenever I see those comments… grown-ass adults should know better than to “gossip” about something good and healthy and NORMAL! (Especially in the comments, good grief. 🙄) Anyway, I’m wishing you continued safe travels… thanks for sharing your lives with us!

[@TravisAviation]

I didn't really think much of this before this video, but I think this was the best thing you guys did for your kids(speaking parental wise/boat owners). I remember you saying many months ago you wish your kids experienced what others did in normal life in some ways. I think this may have somewhat fulfilled that gap(it will never be fully), but they get to learn from others, and from different countries too! The communication they have done and on both sides(Z crew and newly honored Z crew members), has given a learning experience that is better than any teacher or book can do. I think it has proven that your kids have a once in a life time experience that almost no one will ever get. But these come with sacrifices, so does an average experience(mostly boring, sometimes not). Always everyone wants better, the only difference is those that push to actually make their life better for themselves. Good work on taking the leap in this one for the whole Z crew and trying it. Sounds like you will at least keep a couple on board when things make sense to mix things up. Looking forward to seeing YOU out there on the Water!

Just started subscribing recently, binged watched today (it was suppose to be raining) and think this was such a great idea for your family to have guest teenagers on Zatara. I think I've seen about a dozen of your ep's so far. And thanks to your Son, Finn, for popping up a few days ago (so I watched a few of his vlogs). I've seen a few others living on their boats via YT but you guys got me more interested for lots of reasons. Thankfully I grew up with a Dad that always had boats (biggest was a mid '60's Owens Cabin Cruiser just under 30') so I loved being out on the water, fishing, and swimming in the summers. But to be on the open seas and be sailing around so many countries is just amazing. It can be stressful but the Captain sure knows what he's doing on this yacht! The Crew is not so bad either!

[@twostevensinau]

Another great chapter of your lives wrapped up. Still can't get over how well you integrate the visual quality and how well the storylines are interlaced into the overall novel of your lives. You manage to capture and make appealing the "American goofiness" while exploring yet still make the boredom, adventure, and family dynamics on every level the envy of probably all other sailing channels. What really makes me smile is this traditional family's wholesomeness most likely absolutely frustrates to tears 3/4 of Hollywood producers and their writers who can't figure out why a dude with purple hair reading to kids just isn't going mainstream and channels like this get 500K subscriptions.

Looks like some connections are made, a lot of experience for the young ones. Amazing family, thanks you share with us. Waiting for another part ⛵

[@DeanF]

Wow, and I thought I loved Zatara before. Heart swells for all of you, since it was so sweet. This will not be the last, I'm sure.

[@ae7v]

Great episode. Actually they are all good, but it was great that you guys brought on these young folks to bond and learn more about the world. I enjoy your videos even while I'm freezing in MT right now.

Having had a double root canal that eventually went wrong over the following years after ie: a WHOLE bunch of health issues with no explanation, then FINALLY realising how dodgey root canals are for your health-I went and got those two offending molars taken out (which came along with a suprise emotional release); I’m now realising that getting that tooths taken out was 99% the best solution in the first place… I found your dentist footage brought back the trauma of the dentist office… AND I never found dentist work disturbing before… Just goes to show, how we store trauma memories in our bodies, even when we thought “I’m over that experience “

[@greathornedowl3644]

Renea, congrats you are out of pain. Thankfully I worked in dentistry and got a discount. Good conversation, everyone participated, no one dominated

[@yvonneculley5626]

Just fantastic, it takes really giving to allow people in your home…. I think it’s such a great experience for both sides… I agree what Keith says… what on earth would you apply if you don’t like water… I think you gave those young kids a experience of a life time… Travelling is a opens your mind… Well done…… It’s very rewarding opening your home to strangers…. No one would understand until they do…. Great job everyone….

Life for so many people is based on caution and fear. There are some good reasons for that, but when caution and fear become an obsession a person doesn't learn his or her own limits and doesn't move on in life. This family has shown that life is meant to be a creative process not a deadly routine.

Always better to pull the tooth. Watch The Root Cause..how bacteria can never be completely eradicated. Very eye opening, I was faced with this decision too a few times!

Brilllllliant - to see lives changed forever. Thanks for sharing 👍 bravo to their parents

[@ElaynasBobs]

These young people give me hope for the future of humanity

[@diamondis4ever811]

the departing kids just got FLOAT IT ALL AWAY.... SAD but MEMORABLE ENDING.... GREETINGS frm the PHILIPPINES... 🇵🇭✌️👌

[@jasonanderson951]

Hope your tooth gets better Renee. From my professional experience it sounds like there may be a fracture in the root. If this is the case then the tooth will ultimately need to be extracted. Fingers crossed that this is not the case though.

[@SailingZatara]

Hey Jason! Unfortunately I’ve had a bit of trouble with this dang tooth since we saw that dentist a couple of weeks ago. Just today a big chunk of the tooth actually fell off into my mouth.!!! 😳 🤢 Saturday is the holy day here in Israel (and yes, unfortunately we are in Israel now, not in Jordan anymore) so Sunday morning, I will go to a new dentist and see what he says. 🤷🏼‍♀️ ~Renee💕

[@jasonanderson951]

@@SailingZatara Ah ok yeah unfortunately it sounds like it may need need to be extracted. Also, if there is not a fracture in the root, soon after a root canal is completed a permanent core build up, possible post and then crown needs be completed. If the tooth needs to be extracted and if it’s in between two teeth then you could have either a flipper/partial or and implant. I’ve worked with both durning my career and I’ve seen much better results with implants if they are done correctly. You could always start with a partial/flipper and look into getting an implant down the road.

My dentist does root canels in the office and charges me a couple hundred bucks. I been going to him for over 45 yrs. I know I am Old. Enjoy your channel, look forward to Thursday.

[@fayepotts3279]

Amazing how we get attached to our Zatara family and now the visiting kids. I wept when they said their fair wells.😢 One person hit the nail on the head when she said,in a week we are on to our daily routine,while Zatara is moving on to a new country.

[@dancingpuppies1503]

Hello Zatara, am an avid follower living in Jordan, glad to see you guys had fun at Ayla, and hope your stay in Jordan was pleasant, dentist and all !.

[@marks1198]

It's so nice to see that you took those green horns and showed them what it's like to live your style of live... But also! It's great that your kids were so welcoming to these new people. I really tip my hat to the both of you! I remember my uncle took me for 2 weeks sailing the north channel in Canada it was such an amazing experience even though it was on a 26 foot boat, And it's so true, deep conversations and keeping a open and positive attitude even when being annoyed or frustrated at each other really separates the people that can handle such an adventure! PLEASE SAIL THE NORTH CHANNEL! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!

[@killerqueen0831]

Omg I've become so attached to you guys I'm in tears
