I'm a merchant mariner from China, currently loading cargo in Turkey. I just wanted to say that your videos are a true inspiration for anyone who loves sailing and ocean. After sailing for years, your videos kinda remind me of why I fell in love with sailing in the first place and I feel a real connection to the adventures you're sharing with us. As a merchant mariner, I know how tough and demanding at sea can sometimes be and the challenges that come along. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Bond voyage!
Hello Family, Rene, my Uncle Jimmy was a sailor in WWII. When I was a child he took me deep sea fishing. I was worried about being seasick as we boarded. He said, "Don't worry, I brought some pickles." So hey yeah, that is a remedy with some history. Bon voyage.
@ My Cancer Journey well this RUclips isn't for everyone but whatever it may be you gotta be strong to fight this . I'll be glad to subscribe your channel..
It is crazy watching these kids grow up. Have I really been watching this long?!!? Congrats on the circumnavigation. I really enjoy your narration and the pickle advice is new to me.
I have just started ❤watching! I grew up in American Samoa and watching your kids grow up in this environment (on the ocean) as I did, has been amazing to watch.
Your channel is the only one that comes to mind- that brings the 'wholesomeness' of family and the opportunities only found in FAMILY. Thanks for sharing!
We just love Turkey. You must try and get to Dalyan when the season starts, it's a world nature site and river delta. You can anker near a protective island, then take dingy behind spit where there is a pontoon, then get a local coop taxi boat upstream to the mud baths and a great evening meal.
I've been watching your weekly video's for a fair while now and I enjoy your content a lot.. I am amazed to see how much your kids have grown since I started watching.. you are doing a great job raising them and you must be so proud of people they are becoming..
Starlink is such a game changer for boats, rvs and country areas. Weather info while at sea is so much easier and for any RUclipsr it will be a total godsend.
@@tycanuck yes, but the rumourmill is saying starlink is going to limit the roving RV plan to one country and on land only, then add more plans. It will probably wind up being 500+ per month
6:48 Should make a contraption. Strings on the wheel. Strings go up to the roof above the chair. Then two strings, hang down to the arm rests, one on each side. Pull left or right string to steer. No need to bend forward or use feet. lol
Handsome sons, beautiful daughter, awesome parents...one amazing Family...Thanks Z crew...really enjoyed your video...its like a modern version of the Swiss Family Robinsons or even better....
Renee: This is terrific. I mention this to our friends and tell the greatest observation we can make....The experiences you have provided each other and more importantly, your children, will follow them..and you for entire lives. These young people have learned to live in peace and in mild conflict.."In closed quarters". They have learned to contribute and "selflessly invest in the family unit" and take care of each other. And when you are all older, they will take care of you both. When they have their own families, they will raise them as they were raised. :) Congratulations. :) Tony
Best comment I’ve read in a long time! So On point as the world has lost its mind! We know the reasons for that, An agenda involving Climate, loss of land and farms, medical apartheid, Banksters, fraudsters, corrupt politicians! I love watching this family just live and let live, showing us how wonderful our world is, and should be! Cheers Australia, home of the communists today!
Was an amazing surreal experience to meet both Keith & Renee in Marmaris Turkey today while I was walking through the bazaar. I’m still smiling now thanks for the photos and sticker guys. You as a family are amazing and i love watching your unique experience of life. Thanks guys mark from Essex UK 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Glad you made it to Turkey Waiting for the next episode Great family 🎥🎞️Superb editing and footage. Jack looks amazing without the stache. Greetings 🇲🇽✋
Around the world one and a half times, what an awesome journey of adventure and growth as a family. So many would love to have the memories and experience you have given your children. So good to see the growth of this channel and how many of us have been treated to a vicarious boating saga.
great job, Turkey looks much more easy than Cypress , understand that Egypt was a nightmare some way , have fun in Turkey have been there twice from Netherlands , east and nice folks, Hello from Khon Kaen Thailand .
Jack is growing up into quite the great young man!!! I think he’s going to make a great husband, you should be proud!! Also I was nauseous and a nurse had me smell an alcohol wipe and it worked instantly!
Love the colour of open ocean water. I hope you don't never get sick of seeing it's beauty. Thank you for sharing your journeys across this beautiful planet!!
I have watched every episode from number one always look forward to the next episode. I’m 62 with a 36ft catamaran and want to head off in the next year. Your kids will be able to and won’t be scared to tackle anything that is thrown at them. Great job. Perfect parenting.
Thanks for perpetuating the story that it always rains in Seattle. I've lived here since April 1960, at 6 weeks old. Seattle jokes? How do you tell it's Summer in Seattle? The rain is warmer. When is our Seattle Rain Festival? Jan. 1 - Dec. 31. As far as the sea sickness, one tested, tried and true mitigation? Thin slice of ginger under the tongue. Learned this the hard way. A dear friend had a Peterson 42'. We used to sail around Puget Sound, and I worked as a Paralegal in a 70-story building in dt Seattle called the Columbia Tower that had an 8' sway in any direction (seismic absorption for earthquakes). You could see the water in the commode moving, so my body was used to motion. While sailing from Mazatlan to PV 200 miles off shore, I took the sea bands off. Bad mistake. We had been at sea for several days. Dropped the hook, explored the Isla Isabella, hiked up the ridge of an inactive volcano and watched Blue Footed Boobies in their nests, 400' above sea level (with NO OSHA regs, guard rails, etc.). Hooked up w a larger yacht, a catamaran. Bigger galley. We had just caught a pretty good sized Mahi Mahi. They were preparing homemade pasta, and we were set for an amazing meal. Yum? Not! I started getting sick. Thank God that the Captain's wife had me go to our boat, and I was on the floor in the salon holding on to the 60' mast base. Thin slice of ginger under the tongue. Was much better in less than 15 minutes. Ginger tea or stir fry anyone? Of course. 👍 Hope this helps. ⚘
For sea sickness I know of people who use isopropyl alcohol wipes apparently smelling them stops the seasickness. Probably similar to the pickles but not as tasty. All the best from Halifax Nova Scotia Canada
Hi Im from Singapore! Education system in Singapore is so stressed and watching your videos make me feel so relaxed and really inspire me to travel around the world with my family! Your sailing adventure without doubt fostered strong bonds with your family. I have 3 siblings and I could picture how happy and bonded we will be if we embark on this same sailing adventure like your family!
Hey Zatara. I saw a video on Sailing Doodles last week where he installed a star link on the trimaran he is using. You may want to see the video because he mentioned that Star Link was not letting yachts use the RV package but something different.
12:08- Sailing into the port of Finike after seeing those mountain peaks on the horizon peek out of the rain clouds reminded me of the wonder that mariners as far back as the Odyssey must have experienced. BTW, Finike's original name was 'Phoenix' and the port was evidently founded by the Phoenicians (who named it for themselves). Thanks for sharing those views with us and I hope the rest of your journey is smooth!
I just recently found you guys and I love seeing your adventures! Kudos to you all for unplugging from "normal" and doing something that is absolutely amazing and rewarding!
Holy cow Batman, I’ve been watching you guys for over five years that’s insane. how the kids have grown left the nest and you guys keep chugging along. Keep the awesome videos coming thank you for my virtual escape. Just so happens to have been my dream but medical problems plague the family so not possible thanks for the virtual tour. Sincerely Mr Smith
QUESTION: Over the years, as I've watched other sailing channels, I noticed that whenever there was fresh rain everybody would jump on deck with scrub brushes and start cleaning the deck whether they felt like it or not. As soon as you got the fresh rain in Turkey I expected everybody to do that but it didn't happen, and I was just curious why that was? This seems to be a pretty universal approach, and I was just wondering if you guys have a preferred way of cleaning the deck that doesn't involve scrubbing in the rain?
Hello from Northern Arizona I just finished watching this new video with my morning coffee and thank u so much for making it more enjoyable! For awhile I was on the seas with you lol can't wait for the next one😊
Oklahoma friends here again❣️ Just want to say again … Always enjoy watching your videos!! Love Your Precious family!! Y’all sure have some wonderful children❣️❣️❣️ Awesome Mom and Dad too❣️❣️ Keep on keepin on doing what makes your hearts smile!! God Bless You All❣️. Love from Oklahoma USA❣️❣️❣️❣️
The welcoming weather in Turkey seems like *Family Taco and Movie Night* weather! I can't believe you are nearly finished your circumnavigation!?!? Kate knows her sails and when they ain't working right! I'm looking forward to the next five years with you guys...or however long it takes following a long!
Pretty cool. Around the world 1 and 1/2 times. Congratulations Zatara!!! My hat is off to y’all. And you’ve taken several of us with you on these extended cruises. Thanks. You’re always in our prayers. Take care and have a good one in Turkey. 👍❤️🙏
I started watching this by happy accident about a year ago. Now I find myself talking about wanting to sail, and occasionally quoting Keith's advice when friends talk about buying a boat.
I love to watch your videos. I think this family is amazing and your Kids always make me laugh in some ways. I have never sailed before but I love to see the ocean and everything when it is about traveling and see other cultures around the world. I'm here in GE. I'm a 65yrs old Grandma, I will tell my family to watch your videos; but i Love the life you guys made out of this crazy world. God Loves you, GBY.💖 Sandra
Bring back your old intro with the song!! I've noticed you've been just using it at the end of the videos lately. But having it as a intro just sets the mood for your whole video. It's one of my favorite parts!
Hello to the family! Glad you made it safely. I never had a doubt. Keith is such a great captain of a boat. The kids look fantastic Renee you’re never going to age all that beautiful sun and water just keeps you gorgeous. Again as always thank you so much for sharing your trip. I feel like I’m on vacation. Now we just have to find the right aromatherapy to smell as I’m watching lol stay safe lots of blessings and hugs grandma Tampa
I have Star link, and I love it. Had horrible wind in northern Ohio this week. Many people lost power or internet for days. You set it up with the app on your phone. And you can buy a hard line adapter , or another mesh wifi router to really boost signal coverage. And speeds are great.
It's funny, first I stumbled across Finns' Channel, then Jacks' and the algorithm finally landed me on your (this) channel. I think it's great. You seem like a fun bunch!! I enjoy watching your videos. It's really cool what you're doing and sharing it with us is fantastic!! Cheers from Canada!! 🕶
Hi Guys - I have followed you guys on your adventures for a while now - it was great to bump into you both in Fethiye at the weekend what lovely people you are - xx it farmers market tomorrow in Fethiye ( Friday)
Congratulations on your circumnavigation! The oceans are full of life and your videos help share with us the beauty of the world, and now, we know it better.🦋🌞🤗
I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw Finike that's the place that i grew up even turkish people don't know where the finike is I hope you guys enjoyed it i wish you guys sticked around there a little bit more
I will never sail, but I am a huge fan of this channel. I am 55 now..born (1967) and slightly older than the channel patriarchs....big fan.. I might not do the fantastic things you all do, but there is still the 59 thing... I am getting close. You all inspire me to be closer....
I’ve been w you guys since the very beginning. I grew up alongside the kids and y’all kind of feel like family to me. Egypt is a scary place to travel to atm happy nothing major happened
My grandfather used to eat Candied Ginger for sea sickness, and he was a fisherman. I've had many others tell me ginger in any form works. I've personally never experienced sea sickness, or motion sickness of any kind.
Funny that Keith mentions Peplink. I was just looking at their different models, trying to decide which is just right for me. Some allow for 2 Starlink Dishes to be connected. That catch is that its 2 subscriptions, one for each dish. So 2x the monthly cost, but likely 2x the speed or just more reliable. Looking forward to Keith doing a How-To install of it.
I am so hooked on your great videos . They are so good they could be a Netflix show. I only found your channel a week ago and shared it on my Facebook. I am now on episode 80 but have watched some of your later ones. They keep me entertained and I get to see the world by not travelling. Your boys are so handsome and I enjoy their videos. Keep them coming. Your editing is so professional and music so well suited hope you have have good luck with Skylink not having internet all the time must not be the best.
I can't believe you left us with the Egypt cliffhanger! Next Thursday can't come soon enough! Although to be honest......I'm always ready for your Thursday episodes! Safe travels!
The vinegar is "pro"- "biotic" - which balances your stomach gymnastics. Same thing if you eat sour kraut - or olives. Just eat a can of olives and you'll feel great.
Your channel is fun to watch! In future episodes please have the boys play more music! We haven't gotten to see them play much, but when they do they are great on their guitars and for their age seem to be very talented!
Good video. Renee does such a great job. Couple of questions for Keith: (1) I think I noticed quite a bit of black smoke from your exhaust - how many hours are on the engines and when are they due for a major service or overhaul? (2) Following last year’s hurricane in Florida, many electric vehicles burst into flames after the lithium batteries were exposed to salt water - what are your present thoughts about the safety, desirability, and reliability of lithium batteries on a boat?
When I can, I tried to cast these videos to my TV. It is such an awesome experience watching it from a big screen. The video is so much better watching it this way. The quality, cinematography is amazing. So much more detail. I can't recommend it enough. Whole different experience. As always, awesome video!
I have to take Dramamine to keep from loosing my balance standing up. I would never be able to do what you guys do. Growing old sucks. But I have enjoyed watching your family experience the things I saw when younger. The world is an awesome place to journey in.
Thanks for the ride. I get to see the world through, someone’s education. I would like to try and learn sailing. I am watching from Evansville Indiana. So keep up the spirit. You are blessed. Safe travels.
Amazing to see how the kids are now . What a great experience. For your information Turkey name change to Türkiye. Your channel make travelling, love it so much ❤
Great video, Renee! Congratulations on the circumnavigation! How exciting. The kids have certainly got a great education. I love Finn spewing off French. Definitely good to know turkey friendly, Egypt not so much. That’s sad. You guys stay safe. Be happy be well. Love from California.💜🤗🤟🏻🇺🇸

I am new to or channel … do you have children who don’t live on the boat?

Thanks for watching our show! ~Renee

@@SailingZatara Love your quality video shots. You guy's have such a rare lifestyle. Live it to the fullest.
Would love to see 2 vids a week, especially when your in port.
Keith & Renee… You guys are MODEL parents! Some things are better CAUGHT than TAUGHT, and you two live parenting! THANKS!
Your channel is the only one that comes to mind- that brings the 'wholesomeness' of family and the opportunities only found in FAMILY. Thanks for sharing!
We just love Turkey.
You must try and get to Dalyan when the season starts, it's a world nature site and river delta. You can anker near a protective island, then take dingy behind spit where there is a pontoon, then get a local coop taxi boat upstream to the mud baths and a great evening meal.
Kate looks like such a fun person to be friends with!
PG RATING APPLIES FOR Kate...loading spearguns
I ❤ Türkiye. Such a great country. Amazing culture. Lovely people.
I've been watching your weekly video's for a fair while now and I enjoy your content a lot.. I am amazed to see how much your kids have grown since I started watching.. you are doing a great job raising them and you must be so proud of people they are becoming..
Starlink is such a game changer for boats, rvs and country areas. Weather info while at sea is so much easier and for any RUclipsr it will be a total godsend.
i just hope it doesnt get too expensive
@@jumpleadsx2 Did you even watch the video? They're going to save hundreds a month.
Starlink for boats is 5k a month after you buy equipment
@@tycanuck yes, but the rumourmill is saying starlink is going to limit the roving RV plan to one country and on land only, then add more plans. It will probably wind up being 500+ per month
@@shoestatus majority of boat ppl use the RV package, seems to work fine.
Welcome to Turkey, Earth adventurers! When will we get an update on Anna? How's she enjoying college and her independence? Cheers ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome back to Turkey and have a fantastic stay…

Should make a contraption.
Strings on the wheel.
Strings go up to the roof above the chair.
Then two strings, hang down to the arm rests, one on each side.
Pull left or right string to steer.
No need to bend forward or use feet. lol
Your BROTHER IS HANDSOME ! And Your SISTER is POWERFUL & BEAUTIFUL!
As Turkish Happy to hear that you ended up your circle around the world in Turkey.
Handsome sons, beautiful daughter, awesome parents...one amazing Family...Thanks Z crew...really enjoyed your video...its like a modern version of the Swiss Family Robinsons or even better....
Kate is growing so much since watching over two years. You are both doing a great job with your children.
Renee: This is terrific. I mention this to our friends and tell the greatest observation we can make....The experiences you have provided each other and more importantly, your children, will follow them..and you for entire lives.
These young people have learned to live in peace and in mild conflict.."In closed quarters". They have learned to contribute and "selflessly invest in the family unit" and take care of each other. And when you are all older, they will take care of you both. When they have their own families, they will raise them as they were raised. :) Congratulations. :) Tony

Thanks for perpetuating the story that it always rains in Seattle. I've lived here since April 1960, at 6 weeks old.
Seattle jokes?
How do you tell it's Summer in Seattle?
The rain is warmer.
When is our Seattle Rain Festival?
Jan. 1 - Dec. 31.
As far as the sea sickness, one tested, tried and true mitigation?
Thin slice of ginger under the tongue.
Learned this the hard way.
A dear friend had a Peterson 42'. We used to sail around Puget Sound, and I worked as a Paralegal in a 70-story building in dt Seattle called the Columbia Tower that had an 8' sway in any direction (seismic absorption for earthquakes). You could see the water in the commode moving, so my body was used to motion.
While sailing from Mazatlan to PV 200 miles off shore, I took the sea bands off.
Bad mistake. We had been at sea for several days.
Dropped the hook, explored the Isla Isabella, hiked up the ridge of an inactive volcano and watched Blue Footed Boobies in their nests, 400' above sea level (with NO OSHA regs, guard rails, etc.).
Hooked up w a larger yacht, a catamaran. Bigger galley.
We had just caught a pretty good sized Mahi Mahi.
They were preparing homemade pasta, and we were set for an amazing meal. Yum?
Not! I started getting sick. Thank God that the Captain's wife had me go to our boat, and I was on the floor in the salon holding on to the 60' mast base.
Thin slice of ginger under the tongue. Was much better in less than 15 minutes.
Ginger tea or stir fry anyone?
Of course. 👍
Hope this helps. ⚘
Oh gosh… I’m so nervous to hear your story next week! 😳😬👀 Hope you guys are having a great time in Turkey!
PS- I meant to also say: CONGRATS ON THE CIRCUMNAVIGATION, @SailingZatara! 💯💯💯
For sea sickness I know of people who use isopropyl alcohol wipes apparently smelling them stops the seasickness. Probably similar to the pickles but not as tasty. All the best from Halifax Nova Scotia Canada

I will never sail, but I am a huge fan of this channel. I am 55 now..born (1967) and slightly older than the channel patriarchs....big fan.. I might not do the fantastic things you all do, but there is still the 59 thing... I am getting close. You all inspire me to be closer....
Happy Easter, Sweet family. You all give such pleasure to us stuck on land! Sail on safely and thank you for giving me mini vaca’s!! Sending love 💗
I’ve been w you guys since the very beginning. I grew up alongside the kids and y’all kind of feel like family to me. Egypt is a scary place to travel to atm happy nothing major happened
Jack needs a boat and set out on a journey of his own. Film it of course. Safe travels
My grandfather used to eat Candied Ginger for sea sickness, and he was a fisherman. I've had many others tell me ginger in any form works. I've personally never experienced sea sickness, or motion sickness of any kind.
hiiii from turkey love your videos its amazing to watch you here in my own country
Funny that Keith mentions Peplink. I was just looking at their different models, trying to decide which is just right for me. Some allow for 2 Starlink Dishes to be connected. That catch is that its 2 subscriptions, one for each dish. So 2x the monthly cost, but likely 2x the speed or just more reliable.
Looking forward to Keith doing a How-To install of it.
I am so hooked on your great videos . They are so good they could be a Netflix show. I only found your channel a week ago and shared it on my Facebook. I am now on episode 80 but have watched some of your later ones. They keep me entertained and I get to see the world by not travelling. Your boys are so handsome and I enjoy their videos. Keep them coming. Your editing is so professional and music so well suited hope you have have good luck with Skylink not having internet all the time must not be the best.
For motion sickness the best remedy are raw vegetables and herbal teas, especially ginger, fennel and peppermint.
I can't believe you left us with the Egypt cliffhanger! Next Thursday can't come soon enough! Although to be honest......I'm always ready for your Thursday episodes! Safe travels!
The vinegar is "pro"- "biotic" - which balances your stomach gymnastics. Same thing if you eat sour kraut - or olives. Just eat a can of olives and you'll feel great.
Green or black?
Your channel is fun to watch! In future episodes please have the boys play more music! We haven't gotten to see them play much, but when they do they are great on their guitars and for their age seem to be very talented!
DEFINITLY BECOMING TRUE SAILORS
Good video. Renee does such a great job.
Couple of questions for Keith:
(1) I think I noticed quite a bit of black smoke from your exhaust - how many hours are on the engines and when are they due for a major service or overhaul?
(2) Following last year’s hurricane in Florida, many electric vehicles burst into flames after the lithium batteries were exposed to salt water - what are your present thoughts about the safety, desirability, and reliability of lithium batteries on a boat?
You guys are amazing! Lots of love from Türkiye
Prayer is the wings behind your sails.
Be safe on the water.🙏🏻💕
When I can, I tried to cast these videos to my TV. It is such an awesome experience watching it from a big screen. The video is so much better watching it this way. The quality, cinematography is amazing. So much more detail. I can't recommend it enough. Whole different experience. As always, awesome video!
I have to take Dramamine to keep from loosing my balance standing up. I would never be able to do what you guys do. Growing old sucks. But I have enjoyed watching your family experience the things I saw when younger. The world is an awesome place to journey in.
Hi Whitaker family. Very much enjoying watching your trip around the world.
welcome to turkey, beautiful people, greetings to everyone and have a good trip, holidays
Can we get this family to a million already please?! They deserve it and more!! Great video per usual with superb editing (also per usual) 😍🫶🏼
I love the maintenance skills - big hammer.
Turkey is awesome!
Thanks for the ride. I get to see the world through, someone’s education. I would like to try and learn sailing. I am watching from Evansville Indiana. So keep up the spirit. You are blessed. Safe travels.

Great video, Renee! Congratulations on the circumnavigation! How exciting. The kids have certainly got a great education. I love Finn spewing off French. Definitely good to know turkey friendly, Egypt not so much. That’s sad. You guys stay safe. Be happy be well. Love from California.💜🤗🤟🏻🇺🇸
A hearty congratulations from sunny Palm Springs, CA on your amazing accomplishment of circumnavigating the Earth!
5 years with this boat, and I saw your video for the first time when you buy your first boat! So long time.
Have a nice time in Mediterranean.
