Dear Cancer: You May NOT Sail Around the World With Us (Sailing Zatara Ep 74)

[@Dolphinvideoproductions]

Thank god there was no cancer and you sharing all your adventures with your family

[@omarayala1820]

My dad is also a bladder cancer survival who did not smoke. About 20 years survivor now. Blessings to you and your family. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@txironchef]

Thanks for the shout out ! My pleasure making those key chains for you and your family! Happy Sailing !

[@germaineludik]

You guys are giving your kids the best experience of life they could ever imagine. I am sure it isn't bliss all the time but they will never forget this!

[@parishbull]

Great news Renee, three times a charm, the kids passed their drivers test and you're free from the cancer. Best wishes to you and the family. TO ALL THE NEGATIVE NANCYS OUT THERE......AT LEAST RENEE SHOWED GUTS, AND TRUE INNER STRENGTH IN SHARING HER EXPERIENCE WITH THE WORLD. BRAVE LADY.

[@tbonemc2118]

That new son in law is a keeper. I could listen to his playing all day, every day. Renee I had the same thing and have stayed free for 7 years now. Best of luck and just roll with the punches when and if they come. Being around to talk about it means you're a winner already.

[@nffremote]

Thank you for allowing us into your lives , you are all much loved across the world. Loved the blues....so good...

[@kathrynellis7050]

No, Renee, Cancer is not allowed! You have the right attitude and can kick anything. So happy results were 'exactly' what you (we) needed to hear. Keep sailing! Fair winds!

[@ramoo6714]

"You my lady are a BADASS"! you talk about cancer like its a bee sting! You are so strong, and you will be in my daily prayers. I love the videos....

One of the best sailing channels on youtube. Lovely family and great content.

[@SailingZatara]

Thanks!

[@chiefcliff]

Glad the news was good! Thank you for sharing your lives so openly!

[@BrhimMT]

I have to say that when I saw the title I immediately stopped what I was doing and watched. I am extremely happy that the test came back negative. Thank you for sharing.

[@RobertSantos-rw8dy]

I am also impressed by your strength...Kate.. kudos... and to your Keith and family..

[@joi1972kc]

Glad you are all great. Fair winds and following seas our friends!

[@thepatriotsitler8226]

I can't express how impressed I am with Anna opting to get a shelter cat verses a breeder. Shows a lot of heart and maturity. 👏👏👏 Also maybe you could get the future son-in-law to create a new sailing Zatara theme song. That would be awesome. Peace and safety to you all. God bless.

[@netpackrat]

Shelter cats are great; all of mine have either been shelter cats or kittens from a box of kittens, however, my next cat (not anytime soon, we have 2 young cats now) will probably come from a breeder. Reason being, one of my shelter cats ended up being a purebred, and not only was she beautiful, she was the most loving, loyal, devoted cat I have ever had. Didn't know what she was at the time, only that she was something special. Only recently learned what she was (Nebelung), and that those qualities are typical of the breed. Next time, I think I am going to seek out another like her.

[@maxstechnology6363]

The theme song is good!

[@Mindy56743]

That was a crazy busy time in America. I can imagine how relieved you are to be sailing again. I am so glad the test showed negative and you are doing so well cancer is staying away. Praying for your family safe passages and good winds. Thank you for the experience of watching your videos.

[@scotsbhoy86]

A video of wonderful news, Renee getting the all clear, Jack and Anna passing their driving tests and the prospect of you becoming grandparents! Wishing you a safe passage and I'm looking forward to watching your adventures. God bless from Glasgow, Scotland.

Love you guys and wonderful news regarding the health scare and well done to the Kids passing their driving tests.

[@Racerman27410]

So happy the biopsy came back negative .. prayers the cancer stays away for good.... Love the new dinghy. Hard to believe its that much lighter than the old one.... that's just amazing and going to be so nice to have with all the features and that sweet Honda power. Just a great video of family life, Kate's teeth, Anna's cat. Jack's "eyes".......oh and gonna be a "Grandmother" to boot! Take and deep breath and keep the awesome videos coming!

Very thankful you are cancer free. That’s a scary time to go through. Congratulations to the new drives and the addition to your family (kitten). Much love from Missouri.

Such a great episode, facing the challenges of life head on and getting it done with courage & determination. You are ALL, every one of you, an inspiration to us viewers ☺️ God Bless and may Neptune + Keith's Captaincy skills keep you safe & sound on this next exciting chapter of your Incredible Journey 💪🏼💥🙏🏻👍🏼

[@jimmcdonald9244]

Thanks for making my day, once again. Not so much the sailing, which while very cool, is not as cool as the Z-family is. So good to hear Renee's surgery was successful, Jack and Anna have their driver's licences, and the new dinghy looks amazing. Can't wait for next week!

[@jochenludewig8857]

I have been a long-time subscriber and can only wish you everything positive dealing with this insidious disease. Be positive, be yourself and surround yourself with family and close friends for support and comfort. I had a run with cancer some 9 years ago, I have been clear now for 4 years and everyday is a new beginning fingers crossed I have beaten that heart wrenching six letter word. All the best from Down Under.

[@maxamillion4255]

Another hit. Glad yawl got back to Big D (or close enough to it). So glad to hear Renee was given a clean bill of health. Congrats to Jack and Anna on passing those drivers test. Kate is so much better off with invisaline than braces. I hated mine as a kid. Ben played a great version of Voodoo Child :) And I see yawl loaded up on Dr Pepper! SWEET! Kitty just needs some time to adapt to his new surroundings. He will be napping on the deck in no time. That go-fast dingy is AWESOME. As always, fair winds and following seas.

[@richardcomeau57]

JUST HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN... YOU GUYS ARE LEGENDS!.! A TRUE INSPIRATION.

[@KingsMom831]

I’ve been here from your first upload & haven’t missed a video yet😁 Renee, I’m a mother of two boys, we ALL LOVE YOUR VIDS! You guys feel like family, even though we’ve never met. I’m so glad things looked good after the surgery! Much love from Santa Cruz CA🌎🌺🌍🌴🌏🌈💜

So awesome knowing the z crew has connections in my hometown Amarillo!!

[@AustinBoil]

When I saw the title of this video I got a knot in my stomach and prayed it wasn't what I thought it might be. So happy all is clear. Glad to refit is completed and you are on your way. One thing I admire is when you do things you do them right and don't cut corners. I'm teaching my young son that you may have to pay more up front but in the long run, more times than not, it's well worth it over the long haul. Enjoy your videos so much, especially the family focus. You are blessed to have such great kids that you are instilling great values and life lessons into. Smooth sailing and always look forward to your next video!

[@Gentleman2019]

God bless your whole precious family.

Renee, you've got this. Last year, when my husband was battling hpv cancer, your family helped keep me sane by letting me sail around the world with you. Thank you.

[@CrispyOkra]

The one thing I've learned in the couple weeks I've been following y'all (trying to catch up as much as I can) is that your extremely strong. Not only as a family, but as individuals. You got this, regardless of the outcome of the biopsy.

[@redensign9975]

The first episode I saw was last week's Corona quarantine in New Zealand, the one before the cranky music hater. Then I was binge-watching for 3 days going backwards in and out of order until I saw a thumbnail that said "Binge watch (129?) Episodes". So now I've been binge-watching from episode 1 to now. I was sad to see you get Zuko today, knowing how it ended. At least he got to have a fun and adventurous life at sea, cut short as it was. Better than living in a small cage at the shelter.

Wait, there’s a thumbnail for binge watching? I’m on a tiny island in the south of Italy, Lampedusa, and I’m binging on this while I look in horror that I’m not going to be able to sail the world on a Cat for the next few years. Can you tell me about the thumbnail. It was a little tricky to find how to start from episode one, though. Sometimes auto play jumps forwards a few episodes. No bueno.

I discovered your channel today. I am an invasive bladder cancer survivor. I was diagnosed just over a year and a half ago. After trying to remove my tumors, we discovered that my cancer was deep in the wall of the bladder. I had several months of chemo early last year, then surgery in June to remove my bladder. i live with a stoma now and I guess what you'd call an 'external bladder' :) I am happily cancer free! I have to live without a bladder, but if that's what it takes to survive, I'm okay with that. I'm SO happy that your pathology came back clear. What wonderful news!! New subscriber and I'm looking forward to binge watching your videos this weekend!!

[@SailingZatara]

Wow, so glad you overcame; and I feel the same way: just give me a bladder in a fannypack and let me watch my kids grow old! That’s why they made me do a CT scan that same day...it had been almost two years since my last checkup and they wanted to make sure it hadn’t been invasive. Cheers to you! Renee

[@artist45]

Dear Keith, Renee, Anna, Jack, Finn, & Kate, This is especially for mom Renee W. . I’m an 80 year olde Vietnam veteran. My wife Jan & I are left behind by our 2 elder sons. Renee, I’ve been fighting Bladder cancer for 3 or so years and I have an operation on next Tuesday (7-28-2010). I’ve been very worried until I saw your explanation of your experience mentioned from your hospital bed. It made me feel less anxious, but I was happy about your results. I can only hope I will have similar results. I’ve follow sailing adventures for a long time. I wish you & all of the family smooth sailing & good health. Thank you for telling your story, John. P.S. Good luck to Kate with her overbite, she USA great girl & funny.

[@wyattfamily8997]

From Australia. As a fellow bladder cancer survivor ( diagnosed 2005 through to 2009), still have regular checkups every 2 years. To add to your observations smokers, elderly, printers, panel beaters/spray painters, and hairdressers are all at a higher risk of bladder cancer due to chemical exposure evidently. I'm given to understand if you remain cancer free for 10 years you are considered to be cured. My urologist insists that 2 yearly check ups should be considered mandatory. Any male who has had bladder cancer will understand when I say I started out a .22 calibre and am now a .45 calibre. Good luck with your ongoing health.

[@SuperPirate100]

Bit of shock watching this, so pleased the biopsy wasn't 'it' . we refer to it that way although not all bad my wife's first brush with it ended my seagoing career although we couldn't think of sailing the world we did carry on sailing the North Sea - think tropical sailing without the sun, good weather and a smattering of snow. It is back now and we have parted with our beloved cat on which we lived for 18 years . We wish you all the best and keep posting the vids which we enjoy very much . PS love the cat , we sailed with our two Siamese so looking forward to this as well.
