SAIL-A-BRATION! 🎉 Birthdays on the Boat! (Ep 117)

[@peter2611]

Home is where the family is, and instead of divorcing you guys took action and are honest about it - I'm so touched by that. What a healthy family and mindset you have - winners!

[@margaridadom2]

They really went out of their comfort zone looking for happiness and that is truly admirable !!!

[@eisuketanioka1926]

people are so scared to be different. a truly inspirational way to raise your children

[@elizabethreis6662]

Renee, as a working Mom with young kids stuck on land, I would love and appreciate an episode to learn a little about YOUR life pre boat. How you survived 4 kids under 5, your professional background, any tips or insight for this season of life. You and Keith are great parents!

[@eduardosturla]

Such honesty from Keith, Renee and the kids. I think this is what brings most viewers back to Zatara. They are brutally honest about the sailing life. All the best and may you have fair winds!

[@CrazyWist]

I love Kate’s hair. Happy birthday Kate!

[@itsalovelybae]

No matter how many videos I watch, I'm still so amazed by Renee's editing skills! Feels like a real reality show but better.

[@SailingZatara]

Thank you so much! ☺️ ~Renee

[@paulmann1440]

Another brilliant vlog - well done all. Love that Kate was so polite in the store, saying thanks on the way out (and HAPPY BIRTHDAY too of course!). Well grounded kids you got there Keith & Renee :-)

[@josephthomas777]

I love seeing your family doing stuff together ( THESE YEARS TOGETHER WILL BE TREASURED BY ALL THE FAMILY FOREVER) I’m a real fan watching you guys for years now , as long as you have God in your life you cannot go wrong! Blessings joseph perth west Australia

[@judd_s5643]

Exceptional good video this week, I’m particularly impressed with how Finn quickly responded to the circuit breaker and took directions from Jack concerning the winch rope. Very mature young man.

[@j.gravett2878]

You've changed your lives & your family's lives while withstanding criticism. What a risk! But look at you all now.....your kids will thank you someday, when they're older & more understanding of how life is. You've all learned SO many valuable skills not taught in classrooms or earned with a degree! This will carry you all far in life! Such a pleasure to watch!💙💚💜💟

[@steffc8881]

Been binge watching because I never looked at where you started two years ago when I first started watching. I can’t get over how you guys all are team together just knowing what ,when and how fantastic. So wonderful to see how you guys are still exactly the same fun and honest thanks so much for sharing your family and time with us 😍😍

[@wadecox4690]

Agreed... Watching your kids Chase their Dreams is what life is about. Even when they are grown it is so rewarding as a parent.

[@olivehunt4357]

I love your family and your kids are so lucky to have that life style. Can you do a Day in the life while quarantine please. Your kids are so handsome and beautiful. Can you also do a boat tour please. THANK YOU 😊

[@randyspicer3731]

Finn's cord progressions on HAPPY BIRTHDAY made me smile! That's a mighty creative re-imagining of REO Speedwagon's "Take it on the Run!"

[@adammallerman8153]

Irish twins! Wow..I have actual twins ( 2 boys aged 4) do nothing but respect. I've watched your channel since day 1, initially because I used to sail a Catalina 27 on the west coast but now I watch because you guys constantly inspire me as a parent. And when my kids are old enough I'm going to charter for a few weeks and see what comes from that. Thank you Zee-team!

[@betraktare1]

You guys are great. Lots of positive energy coming from you. The world need more people like you. Great kids, great couple.

[@dreammauriora9793]

I have a lot of respect for your dad and mum. What an adventure to be together on and other parents could learn from them .

[@ceschias3733]

Yes, yes, mothers are the foundation of the family. You have a great women there. Keep her happy. Hi, from Antigua Guatemala. Paolo.

[@rollingstonelivephotograph8152]

Love your Honesty ,You are all so blessed yes family is where you all are .Thank you Zatara Family

[@dioputra9723]

Happy birthday Finn and Kate. Your family being bless aways from generation Z. Amazing parents you guys have. God bless Zatara family

[@m.e.r.y.l.m]

You guys are awesome. Great interview! So glad you are keeping your marriage and your family together, inspiring.

[@richardfulmer5279]

Happy Birthday to Kate and Finn. I enjoy your lives of travel and events. Thanks for being honest and sharing it's not quite like heaven out there. Your still on planet Earth with the rest of us. By the way that place was a mess when Finn ran thru it for the breaker!!🤪. We all look forward to more videos. I'm sure even recording can be a chore but that's your job so just DO IT!!

[@erneststoltzfus4058]

It's the fun you have with each other that keeps me watching!!!!

[@judgetk8327]

Happy birthday Finn and Kate. It was great to be a part of it. Your lucky kids to have such down to earth parents. Nice job on the inverter update Kieth. Also, I had a chuckle when Renee said she wanted a bigger closet & it ain't happening. Lol. I got a spot in my heart for the whole family. Bye for now.

[@RemiMW]

I can’t be the only person who gets a notification... grabs my fav blanket, gets a snack, cozy’s up in my fav spot and watches the video.. lol. It literally my fav to do and starts my day off great!

[@josephmcneer5953]

I have been boating on a Nordhaven 65ft trawler... For 7yrs,and we started out as 5. And now we are 4. My significant other was tired and missed being a Physician!! She returned to Vancouver,she’s happy and we now have a home on Terra firma. Our 3 kids are well rounded and the last 2 are still being home schooled.And Covid has now really opened doors for remote collage education... 38,000 nautical miles later... I have absolutely the most well rounded kids !! It was and is one of the greatest gifts to our kids... Don’t give this journey up!! And we once were in the same marina. Stay well,and enjoy this time...

[@marcinspace]

Kate you looked like a natural on the board! Great balance :) Wishing you and the family all the best this summer!

[@aidanomorgadh1]

Happy Birthday to the kids, and you guys are so polished in interviews or is it that telling it like it is comes easy to you? I really enjoyed this episode, thanks 💚

[@Lisa0fFaith]

I love how genuine you all are. ☺️

[@a1ibddd]

Happy Birthday Miss Kate! & Master Finn!

[@travismull944]

Such a beautiful family! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

[@thechaplain9906]

Happy Birthday Kate!!! You were fearfully and wonderfully made in the Imago Dei...

[@mikecranapple8878]

Love Keith's comment @19:23 Renee: "...we have a common goal to..." Keith: "SURVIVE." That's gold! Great interjection there, Keith! Great episode as well guys! Wish I could hit the "love it" button!

[@kevincarey1076]

Happy Birthday Kate & Finn!! Great episode guys! Fair winds and following seas Zatara!

[@bigsimkoworld2833]

Love the intro!!!! Thanks for bringing it back!!!! Love watching y’all !!

[@idgafnation8620]

See, now THIS helps with the NAS questions I had. I have well over 3000 DVD's collected specifically for the idea to transfer to a NAS and bring on the future Cat. thank you for clearing that all up on a vid for us Renee! Big wave to the Z-crew from Canada and I can't wait to bump into you guys on the blue. Stay safe out there.

[@KaleidoscopeMagic]

Happy Birthday to Kate! She is growing up soooo beautifully!! Enjoy it sweet girl! (-from Kim in Texas) EDIT: And also Happy Birthday to Finn! He has really grown since you all first set sail 3 years ago! Keep up the great guitar lics!!

[@bielz1013]

Happy Birthday KATE!

[@WanderingKnapps]

First, you are super mom Renee! Love that the kids all consult each other for things. And it's great to see underway sailing!

[@susangraham7011]

Happy Birthday Kate and Finn 🥳 our Grandsons are 10 1/2 months apart so our daughter really knows what you went through. I really liked watching the interview with your children and yourselves , I think you’re doing a wonderful job with your family you have to do what’s right for you that’s all that matters.😊

[@Teflonlarry64]

Keith you’re one of the luckies guy in this world. Good luck and I wish all you the best.👍

[@edpowers6560]

One of your best videos ever!!! Great story line and genuine content. Thank you for a great time watching!!!

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

I like seeing the technical modifications you do on yacht systems. I need to replay it a few times to slow you down to my thinking speed. The jist of it this time is that you have now more than enough electrical storage capacity for all your energy needs.

[@specialty_k]

Happy Birthday Kate! Enjoy your skateboard and that was a great choice. 20 years from now, you will be able to pull it out and ride away!

[@latitudeash]

Mom we think you are Wonder Woman. What you do on the vids have shown us over the years. You are the glue that puts this crazy together. Love your family. Both of you have done a great job with them... ps - please adopt me..... lol ❤️

[@gbsailing9436]

My hat is off to you Renee. I took away from that chat, that you felt like you were giving up a lot to help the family get to a better place spiritually. I get the impression that in the process, you realised that you have gained so much of your relationships with everyone in your family - growing in spirit and love for each other. I have followed you guys for a couple of years now and I can see the growth and strength that has been injected into the family relationships. This is a testament to your's and Keith's resolve to give your kids a better life and a greater understanding of the world and its hope and possibilities for people to live out their lives in harmony. Great episode. Glad that things are slowly moving to a better place in NZ for you all. No doubt you are heading north currently. Don't forget to look us up in Cronulla, Sydney when/if you guys get down this way. Our weather and temp. is great. The kids will love where I live!! So much to do.

[@freedomexpress8441]

Love watching the adventures.2 yrs. ago I sold my home, bought a travel trailer and took off.Spent 9 months traveling across America.Pike’s Peak,Grand Canyon,stood on the corner of Winslow,Arizona,Hoover dam,Lake Mead,sand dunes, attended NomadFest in Wellington,Texas.Had an awesome time. Happy Birthday Kate and Finn. Safe travels. I Love being a full time RV Nomad. Yes a lot of friends said I was crazy, No Regrets

[@leoneaj33]

I love boats. In two more years, I and my family will live on the boat for nine months each year. So we watch a lot of your shows for fun

[@joshuawilson8339]

I have a 2 year old daughter. Your videos are so inspiring you are amazing parents I hope I can achieve the same level of genuine success in raising my family.

[@KamikazeVeteran]

I love to watch the channel and keeping up with your adventures. The best part are those little lessons and profound lessons Keith or Renee randomly drop. Little confirmations that your heart latches on too. This episode Keith talking about how he was not inspired and Renee realizing the family needing something more. The more I watch the more I understand why the kids carry themselves the way they do.

[@JerryWhatshisface]

Loved this weeks video. Whoever was filming (Jack?) while the guys were underway did a excellent job. The video looked beautiful. Happy Birthday (again) Kate, love ya! Happy Birthday Finn, rock on dude! Thanks for sharing this video with us. Stay safe Z-Crew.

[@JulesfromNorthfield]

I dream this song now. In fact, I’ve been dreaming I’m on a boat too. Haha! All that food and provision in your last episode looked completely overwhelming to me. You are so organized!

[@trbedsidegaming1005]

Intros you can never skip: Stranger Things, The Office, Brooklyn 99 and ofc Sail Zatara😂💙

[@hannahdenbesten4574]

I cannot explain how true this is

[@trbedsidegaming1005]

Hannah den Besten ik lol, I started watching them 2 months ago and since then can still not skip the intro 😂

[@logdog9596]

You got that right. Love the updated pictures.

[@xultmatehotdog]

Yes fax all of em

[@linable53]

can’t forget ab avatar

[@nickmarino2033]

Rene your closing words were beautiful Kieth the world needs more ppl like you as well. HB Kate & finn

[@philfox55]

Happy birthday Kate! Happy birthday Finn! Happy Father’s Day next week for Keith! But Renee your the rock! Cheers to you for raising an amazing family. I admire all of you for chasing your dreams!

[@jonp3890]

Happy birthday, Kate 🦋, and Finn 🎸

[@Evasion19731]

You guys rock....you are an escape to me. I travel a little with you and makes me feel good. So thanks

[@edadan]

It's great how you share your lives with everyone. You are a very special and inspirational family. God bless all of you!

[@strong002]

Thank you for sharing your lives and adventures with us.

[@Adofri-Sailing]

Happy Birthday Kate & Finn! 🎂🎂🎁🎁

[@GaryMCurran]

Jack, at 8:10, "he has issues!" I'm sure he learned them from his older siblings! LOL

[@babayaga5861]

Intro always makes me feel happy😃

[@monkandgoose890]

Happy Birthday Finn!!! Way to handle those lines and that circuit breaker! You're gonna love that scooter!

[@adss70]

My favourite vlog of yours to date. I especially loved the interviews at the end of it, as they provided us a great view to you as a family and your parenting goals. I completely agree about the value in giving our kids amazing experiences before they get in the rat race once the leave home. We too, via a different way (i.e. mostly dry land) are saving as much as we can during the year to then take the kids on great trips catered to what interests them (i.e. farm stays, meeting kids from other countries, see places they have heard about, etc) and not us adults (museums, land marks, etc). Lastly, thank you for investing so much into your videos... with any luck we might cross path in Melbourne.

[@taitere88]

Finn is the best! Love his energy, his humor and his honest weirdoness (wait, is that even a word?). Anyway, you get the drift. Keep the funk going Finn...

[@randallolson7554]

Best show thus far!!!! God Bless you all & happy/safe passages.

[@Davi.b]

Outstanding video again, Best wishes for the birthday crew both, as parents your both inspirational, and part of the to cool for school crew, of yester year, enjoy all that you do, the memories created for the kids are irreplaceable, God's speed

[@1998pop]

This was one of your best videos (I’ve seen em all) because of the finale. I admire you for your devotion to the family

[@MrHogzor]

Great episode!! Happy Bday to Kate n Finn. Best channel on youtube!!

[@kenanonymouse]

Happy Birthday Kate and Finn. This is one of best episodes I've seen and I think I've seen them all. Best wishes for a good season.

Happy birthday Kate. You guys are my favorite KZbin channel. Thanks for letting me share in your adventures.

[@abbeyrapske9282]

Happy Birthday Kate and Finn!!🥳

[@ProjectsinLessTime]

great episode! I thought it was interesting that while Kate and Finn were talking about their scooters, Jack, sitting RIGHT there, was in his own world with his guitar, finding a private space.

[@stephanieburns4560]

Great, great video that really shows your motivations. Plus your great intuition kept you out of the mess we are in right now on land. Deep stuff. Thanks. It's giving us all pause to think about our own lives, I'm sure.

[@dougford5691]

Well said Rene. You captured it perfectly.

[@Серпокрылов-н5и]

Kate is such a beautiful young girl! Happy birthday Kate! Happy birthday Finn! All the best wishes for you! All your family is a pleasure to watch. Guys you are awesome.

[@briandallas8090]

Happy birthday, Kate and Finn! We have something else in common, besides sailing, June birthdays. Also, to Jack, Congrats on graduating(If it was announced in previous vlogs, I missed it).

Such a refreshing family to watch. Love from a small country town. Australia. Xx

[@Mindy56743]

Wow. The media has found you! I have been watching your channel since the second episode and have loved the channel so much. It is nice that the world is catching on to alternative lifestyles! I have so enjoyed watching your family change so much and how the kids have grown up learning how to live not how to fit into a mold. Love the channel and Renee you are amazing!

[@Mindy56743]

Stevospeedo if you feel so strongly about it why are you spending you time watching it?

[@Mindy56743]

Stevospeedo I agree that opinions are important. I don’t know why I replied to your comment either time I just felt like it.. why did you pick my comment to reply to? 😂 this is a open forum and we all choose how we spend our time.

[@cacourtney]

Loved Finn’s version of Happy Birthday. 🤣

[@dgmills5351]

[@buckeyeadventures1631]

Great family, you should all be proud.

[@mollygrace558]

I've been watching for probably 1-2 years now and it's amazing how much all of the kids have changed. Kate looks so much like her mom.
