    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!!!

      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.

That was the greatest time of my life. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything, and I was the only young adult on the boat! I'm working now so I can afford my own boat someday.

    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 .

      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’

    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. I think that’s what I love about the sailing lifestyle and I think each of these young adults have learned lessons that they will carry with them back home that will change how they view everyday obstacles. Thanks guys.

      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.

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.

      @@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 !

    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!

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.

    I’m Italian and I’m currently on my last year of school. Every single day i ask myself the same question : what do you want to do after school? After that i start feeling the pressure of life , or at least the pressure that society has created on us .. because you have to be fast and decide quickly , they say . I always hear people saying “world is not waiting for you ,so if you don’t decide now who you want to become , you’ll be finished “ . After watching your videos I realised that I don’t want to live a monotonous life , following the pre marked road and ending up like an unhappy person . Yes, i don’t know yet what I actually want to do (professionally) , but i know that i want to see the world and enjoy of every single little gift that life gives to us . Thank you for sharing your life whit us , is very inspiring !!! :)

However, in watching the episodes with them, I think the Z-Crew and you and Keith did a great job with them. I hope that you'll be able to do it again at some point in the future and that people will be just as fun for the next go around. You did a good thing.

I know the young ladies had a very positive impact on Kate. She seemed much more comfortable and I could swear, I think she actually wore make up ! Now that Jack is 20, when is he going to start his own adventure? School? Charter Captain course? Really looking forward to see Anna back on the boat for a visit and a life update. Still miss her on the vlogs.

    Your experience with health care in other countries is exactly why I decided against going into medicine here in the US. While prepping for med school years ago I started doing research on malpractice insurance and shocking would be the best way to describe it. I was looking at roughly 1/3 of my income going to that even if I was perfect as a doctor because patients sue and it’s cheaper to pay then go to court. The litigious nature of the US culture is so bad that we bad magnitudes more for health care for really no reason and many people, who would have made great medical professionals, simply choose other professions.

  • @RebelCowboysRVs

    It does not supprise me at all that non-water people would sign up. Most boat people I know are not water people. When I take people out an stop an ask if someone wants to swim, very few do. I am not really a water person either. I love being on the boat. But I only swim for exercise or just to cool off. I don't enjoy swimming. I enjoy boating. Being out on the water, in nature, fishing or just seeing whats around the next bend. Someone can also love boating, doing inland boating. But go blue water sailing an find out they hate that. Countless numbers of people boat around the great loop in the US every year, that want nothing to do with going off shore.
    People also sometims have a need to do things they fear. Mororcycles make me nervous, but I ride them. I have to talk myself on to the bike, then after about a mile I am fine. An I love it. Every few years that fear goes away, the fun goes away with it an I start doing stupid things on it because of lack of fear and fun so I park it for a while. I have talked to lots of others that also ride an have the same mindset.
    I also started doing youtube because I was not a fan of socializing. Serous introvert. I have several channels now. I have a gaming channel that no one watches, but I started it to force myself to learn to talk more. Within a year I could talk to the camera for an hour straight without an issue. It took a lot of taking myself in to making videos to get there though. And countless "er" and "um"s.

    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!

    I've lived in Asia for 15 years and plan to retire here in 2 years. The health care is far better than in the US. The US has great technology, but it is all so expensive, and the insurance companies have a lock on the system. Here, I only need catastrophic coverage because going to a doctor, dentist, etc. is super cheap as a walk in patient. I did an MRI, X-rays, 2 consultations, and a rehab session on my knee after a bad judo throw, and the whole out of pocket cost was about $75 with Japanese national healthcare. I don't have national healthcare now, but a 4 day hospital stay after I got pneumonia cave diving in Thailand (I was allergic to Doxycycline, which is military protocol when going in the jungles,) including doctors/nurses around the clock, biopsy, x-rays, meals, private room, and medicine, cost $2,800 in total; my international healthcare policy covered most of it. The nurse who handed me the bill kept apologizing because she felt the cost was so high.

    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!

    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…
