Hot Hot Hot Times in Fiji! Air Conditioning on a Boat is a MUST! (Ep 98)

[@CreekyGuy]

16:19 - I absolutely cannot believe it. You all have one of the most spectacular sunset views ever, and the three of you sit at the perfect table on the perfect evening with a minstrel wafting gentle guitar... AND HAVE YOUR NOSES GLUED TO YOUR PHONES? What is up with that?

[@SailingZatara]

WiFi is a treat for us and is very hard to come by; we get far more sunset views, beautiful scenery, and family time than you’d realize! Our lives are very very different than that of a typical suburban family.

[@NormanPaul]

I saw an old news reel clip (from the 50's) showing people going to work on the bus and guess what they were all looking at and not taking to each other...news papers. So it is still the same just different technology to get information. It's all good.

[@owenpotter2459]

Hehe. Not like they haven't seen a couple of tropical sunsets already. (Chuckles)

@@owenpotter2459 - Well, it's a heavy burden, but this is a strong family. They will just have to bear up. No! Please! No more gorgeous sunsets. Please! We can't stand any more wholesome family time. Noooo. They make the Brady Bunch look like a bunch of bikers.

I have raised two children, and am participating in raising 3 grandchildren. Your comment "And what will that do for you" is right on the money (Pun intended). Had that discussion with my kids. Got the same eye rolls. They both now wish they had listened a bit closer. When your career choice is the same as 100K other peoples, and the job market only needs 10k of that area, you will probably be wearing a paper hat at your work place. Go online and look at the want ads, look at the employment specialists postings etc. And take a close look at what several authors have managed on a certain very large online seller. While most fail (True of most authors) the ones who do write good books have been pretty darn successful doing self publishing. Great videos, great life, enjoy.

Just started episode 98. I've been doing the binge playlist wanted Keith to know I know what it's like to have kidney stones and God bless you man that was a boulder! Unbeknownst to you folks you are my adopted family I have been watching you for some time now it's taking me awhile to get through all the years of growing up but wow has it been an experience! Thank you for your openness your honesty and candid lifestyle.

[@sarahlovehope]

Just some friendly advice for anna. I have to say something to consider as well for deciding what to go to college for outside of just getting a degree in english, look at publishing companies that you would want to work at and the type of degrees they ask for. These days it is not just about having one area, there are multiple type of major/minor degrees that will also give you business skills or other types of tools that you can apply in many positions. I had a friend who wanted to go into publishing and was unable to due to the fact that she only had an english degree. And you study how other people wrote and the origin of the language, combining it with arts management or something could lead you to a be a more well rounded applicant. Love the vlogs and one day hope to live on a boat as well.

[@paulbillington9974]

i love how this family is so honest so down-to-earth

Because it shows through in everything you folks do, I already could have told you this: Keith, YOU, bud, are a "my kind of people guy." Q&A reaffirmed/proved it. Thanks for being real and humorous at the same time.

[@debbiecollins1154]

I can see Jack growing up to be just like his father like knowing how to fix everything. Also I see Keith and Jack look like they like to compete in some things.😂

One of your best yet. Been sharing your videos with my children. They all come back with the same comments. Apparently you and I are identical twins, with the same opinions, appearance and outlook. Plus water sports and boating as regular life. I only regret we didn’t take the final step you did and make it a full time thing. But I can live it vicariously through you and your family. Hugely enjoyable, thank you for sharing.

[@fxpthl]

Not so much cringing on your boat, a whole lot of fun though. Love how diverse your kids are. Anna’s search for a college and then a career is so universal with the rest of the world. Hope she can get through that Spanish class OK. After all, there seems to be a lot more of that being spoken than English in America! Those shots of you wake boarding were quite impressive, especially since you are not a tiny guy! Oh yeah, early in this posting it looked you were showing off a kidney stone. So glad you passed that sucker because I have been there and done that more times than I like to remember! Really enjoyed your Q & A session.

[@JerryWhatshisface]

Great episode, as usual. I've now come to the conclusion Keith and I are a lot alike when it comes to socializing. Although I don't drink a lot, I occasionally enjoy a beer to two now and then. I could see me having a couple High Life's, and Keith with his Dr. Pepper, sizing up and laughing at other people. Oh yeah, "Trick or Treat" Z-Crew!! Thanks for sharing this weeks video with us. Have fun be safe Z-Crew.

[@NyanKitteh007]

Hey Anna as a third year who’s changed their major twice (and is thinking about changing it again) don’t worry about the major right now take all your general ed’s and I promise one or two of them will ignite something that’ll give you an idea of what you want to do. And if not it sounds like your parents are all for you pursuing something outside of school. Dont stress you’re still young

[@jamesstinett6291]

I think the thumbs down people have to be other channels that have no following and are a little jealous, you uys are great and show what its like on a boat ,just not the fun stuff but everyday life, even on your (semi boring) vids its alway interesting and fun. Thanks for all you do

[@bretthodder1214]

If you have trouble dousing the Kite, a trip line attached to the tack snap shackle will let it fly out of the front of the spinaker sheet and easy to douse rather than having those tack lines flying about the deck. Love the videos, its a great group.

[@SpamelaHader]

I became a subscriber after this video. Love Keith’s no-nonsense approach and his openness about pressing buttons to get a feel for them as a person. I’ve had a lot of people de”cidedly choose not to want to “hang out with me anymore because of my political beliefs, and while that’s a sad and manipulative approach, I’m ok with terminating the relationship. Similarly, I used to watch SLV, but who they were when they started and who they’ve become is very different. I’m all for growing as a person, but what they’ve evolved into doesn’t align with why I started watching them to begin with. KZbin’s algorithms must’ve noticed I wasn’t watching them anymore and I started getting recommendations of other sailors, including yours, and now I can’t stop watching your channel. I’m so glad I found your channel and look forward to binge watching your videos from the beginning. Stay safe 🙏🏼

I saw another video of a couple sailing *from* NZ (can't remember who), and it was NOT a joy ride. Waves coming into the cockpit, filling the bilges. Only video I saw that gave you a real appreciation for the size of the waves. And if it looked scary on video, I can only imagine what it was like onboard. Here's hoping you guys get the 'other' 50% and have fair seas all the way. But keep everything battened down just in case!

[@jamieminton172]

The psycho boat reference was to funny. Years back, when the kids were still in high school (not gonna say how long ago), we planned, prepped and saved for a two week camping trip. This was a "Primitive" camp at a favorite camp ground with an uncontrolled airstrip. It was a fly in, an RC "Fly IN", a carnival, a music fest/vaudeville show each night (I got rave reviews for my audience participation as a wash tub base player and the kids have a story to tell) and an all around good damn two weeks. We have a chapter dedicated to us in a book written by a cross country cyclist called "The ROBO Campers". We were not the Psychos, but came close. We had in tow, mind you I had planned this for a year and spent three days setting up the "Tent City", eight neighborhood kids (plus ours) and their parents/grand parents that stopped in day to day. The Cross country cyclists just sort of migrated to our "little" camp ( their were 10 total, one couple from Norway, one from the Netherlands, one from Germany one from South Carolina and two "Fruit Loops" from Virginia) and the language barrier was daunting, but not insurmountable. My piss poor Spanish, German and a bit of Latin went a long way. I have traveled around this old globe a few times. As a blonde haired, blue eyed "American" I have been in the "Minority" in a lot of countries. Those were in my young and single years. That one vacation reignited my love for the world and gave all of those kids a wanderlust/wonder lust that they still talk about today. People are just people, all shapes, colours and creed! When brought together around a camp fire... We are ALL one and the same!

What you explained at the end of the Q & A is so on point. In social situations people become like pack animals and like attracts like. It’s not a bad thing however it can be lonely if you don’t quite fit into one group or the other. Also your point about girls and boys is so true. When I first had children I was naively gender neutral until I had my son and he was just an animal compared to my daughter. A cute animal but so rough and tumble. It really opened my eyes that the whole men from mars and women from venus reference is correct. The 14,15,16 year old high school girl politics is nasty and one of the most obvious differences. Boys will punch each other and get over it usually, while girls can and do hold those grudges til maturity and beyond. It’s great that your kids are missing that. Thankyou for your content, your episodes end too quickly, would love them to be longer but I understand you need to sleep at some stage. 🤿Thanks Zatara Family.
