You don’t need to give any apology. It’s your Channel, your Content. If people don’t like it, watch something else. What makes your channel great is your authenticity. You can’t please them all.
Of course no need for apologies. But how embarrassing! Are you battered Rene? That baby thing was the ultimate most ridiculous thing I've heard on a respectable channel. Wow.
@@6985375No, she just has a different way of handling grief and pain than you do. Some people never talk about their pain. Some joke about it. Some handle it in still other ways. It may not be how you’d handle your grief, but it is the way she and her husband handle it. It happened to them, after all.
@6985375 comprehension is an obvious struggle for you. She addressed it in a clear concise manner for people to move on from it but YOU can't seem to.. build yourself a bridge & get over it, whilst you're at it you should learn some manners
They hinted at romance on the boat, and I’m guessing Finn and Maddie. But it’s wonderful to see a bunch of people just living life together! Super cool
I freaking LOVE Keith's sense of humor. Sarcasm is a 2nd language in my family. To be able to use humor and sarcasm when talking about past tragic events is a blessing. It means you aren't hurting anymore. Keith obviously loves ALL of his children deeply. The man gets weepy at the thought of the kids leaving the boat life. Thank you for all the laughs!
Aussie here and agree. love Keith and all their sense of humour. having cracks about one another is true love in my eye's. If i don't take a dig at you it means i do not like or respect you and if someone can't take a dig from me, then is no room for friendship as is who i am.
would be interesting to see each kid of make one of their favourite meals for the group and that way they could all experience a new dish especially from Brazil and Saudi.
Renee, for future reference it's really easy to make Chik-Fil-A Sauce. In case you can't get it regularly and everyone likes it. Here's the ingredients: 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Mix everything together and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Imagine knowing this family and thinking Keith ever has ill intent then thinking you get to demand some kind of an apology for how someone else handles their life? If you have watched this family longer than 2 episodes you know their humor and love. Renee, you do not need to even address those weak people. Love you all, keep it up!
Remember a episode years ago i only watched few months back as only just came across them from other sailing shows. Renee was potting some spice plants and were joking she wasn't very good at it. she said something along the lines of. like my children have a lot of them and atleast a few will turn out alright. Can tell is humor and not meant as a serious thought at all. Made me laugh.
As an Englishman the sarcasm and dark humour is well known to us. We use it in all kinds of situations with all our friends and family, and we all have a laugh about it. It's part of bonding for us and others around the world. The alternative is to mope around or be on eggshells, which isn't a good way to live.
It’s so amazing that you can take young kids from all around the world, put them on a boat having never met before ,and get along so well. This channels doing a lot more than watching y’all have fun, we’re seeing humility, and integrity once again. Thanks for being awesome Whitaker family and Guests! 🙏
Kids don’t care about race, religion, they just enjoy doing the same stuff together and having a laugh. Ohh to be young in the bones again. Always young at heart🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺
Feeding a bunch of growing kids is costly, time consuming and never ending challenge for the primary cook. Always nice to have the pack mules that consume to carry what they eat. The crew seems to be enjoying themselves and that is always good.
Renae, your eyes told the whole story when you told us about your stillborn birth. Dealing with a devastating loss and coming to terms with it shows true courage.
IT shows how it hurt you !!! Kieth you are an ass !!!! give that woman way more love and respect !!!!! what do you do for this family ??? honestly i see very little !!! Renee WE LOVE YOU !!! SO MUCH !!!!
@@flipme62you seem to have no idea about sarcasm, grief, or "gallows humor". Not only that, but Keith keeps that boat running and it's a monumental task. Just because you don't understand humor, that's hardly their problem.
This is the best channel I've found on UA-cam and Finns channel is great too, I think you need to adopt all the new kids so they can stay with y'all forever 🤣 and never let anyone steal your sunshine, your healing process belongs only to you.
For all you’ve given anyone whose watched your videos it’s astounding that a group of people would feel entitled to demand anything from you. Those of us who have followed your journey know that Keith’s comments were not malicious and, in fact, likely helped people move through their own grieving process. Keith is a tremendous person, father, and husband and anyone who has followed your journey knows this fact.
I don’t think people are demanding an apology. I think people are disgusted by the comments. The fact that these people believe they were right to make such comments just shows who they are. It’s not pretty.
As a Saudi I really enjoy your videos since you guys were at 60k! I was screaming when I found out you were having a Saudi member on crew I appreciate your efforts for our guy renee your a truly amazing woman and mother This is one of my favorite youtube channels the video quality is amazing I hope to see more of your videos in the future
Awesome family. Mom works so hard supporting the family with all their needs. Dad is so smart he’s a wizard. I just stumbled on your channel and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Renee, my grandfather was a tough man. His saying was “if you get your feelings hurt, it’s your own damn fault for having weak ass feelings” so we grew up poking fun at each other’s misfortunes and made it through life just fine. Love your family!!!!!!!
As for food and chores I think it’s great to expose these kids to different things. I love how you have made it work for everyone to have a great experience. And honestly as a former vegetarian turned keto I appreciate you guys eat a lot of meats and that’s awesome! 👏🏼😉 and please don’t apologize humor is an art form that seems to be disappearing! ❤
Keith and Renee are amazing. Beautiful couple and great example to the world on how to parent, how to work together as a team, how to build a family tribe, and how to be a couple. I’m sure they have their issues, their challenges, etc. like everybody else. But, I love everything about what they are doing and who they are: from Keith’s repair jobs and ship maintenance and planning, to Renees, social media skills, commitment to excellence in her videography, and her family management. They are both so awesome. The kids don’t know how fortunate they are to have such grounded, humble, committed and talented parents. I pray for your safe and fruitful travels.
I’m hopping I can financially do this with my family one day. Sailing the world. I’m a dad of 3 at the moment from Mississippi and it’s good to see a family with similar values do the things I really want to do. Keep loving life!
Start making a plan, and don't be afraid to ask everybody to get a part time job to contribute to a fund -- one person can easily bring in a few thousand extra dollars per month by doing something as easy as delivering pizza (dinner time is most profitable). If you get 3 or 4 people doing that, $10K per month adds up to a used sailboat fund, really quick.
The ones that owe an apology are the men that dont spend anytime with their wife or kids. Look at all that Keith has done for his family. He owes an apology to no one.
Yes you're right about men Owen apologies to their wives and kids we don't spend time with them I was in one of those relationships I was so upset with my husband. I see other people with their husbands and wives. Spending so much time with him I did get jealous about because they would equal and compatible with each. When you don't have that equal compatible that love spark like I didn't have relationships are different. So if my life I've been through so much one thing that I have is I have God he's the only one that was back to me in my life my strength my challenges I'm still standing strong as a woman.
I don't think Keith owes an apology to his family the best thing for his family and life protecting them in this goddamn world the world is so sick in hell that I am so glad that Keith and Renee has their children out on the boat learning the world the political stuff that we were able to sick world they understand it too but they're staying out of it the drama shit
Hey James. I would hope that you don't judge those of us that had jobs that kept us away from our families. I was in an entertainment field that tookj me around the world for months at a time. Didn't mean that I loved my kids any less than Keith. Do I wish I had been able to spend more time with my kids... Sure. But, then we wouldn't have nice things in life. All my kids turned out great and now that I am retired we have fun, so, there's that. And YOUR need for fun kept me away from my family so be happy that people are willing to sacriice so you and your kids can have fun.
This channel never needs to change. The authenticity of your thoughts, opinions, and feelings is exactly what drives people to watch and love what y'all are doing. Please don't cave in to the hypocrisy of the current society tries to gouge in our everyday lives. Keith Rene and all the crew stay true and never apologize, that is what makes y'all GREAT
She could get a full-time production editing job in any news room or production facility anywhere in the country. She produces amazing network quality product.
Keith is a good man, and you have an admirable family. Life is hard for everyone at times. Getting through has your family has is a sign of wisdom and maturity on his part. It is obvious he loves you all.
You brought these kids on the trip of a lifetime. And your kids get to experience this year round. Great channel awesome family. I've been watching your channel for a couple years now. And in my humble opinion both yourself and Keith are amazing parents. Keep sailing and bring us many more smiles. Love from Bristol Connecticut!!!
Renee I’m only halfway through this vlog, just wanted you to know as sandwich, Queen Meal Provider, you have my respect. AND then you revisited a painful chapter in yours and Keith’s life (as if anyone else had a worthy say) with such integrity, you have my total respect.
I just wanted to add, you guys did nothing wrong, your a normal family. We all had bad situations in are life, losing a family member is hard, but also when you have a pet that pasted, its hard. I like Keith will never forget what happened, its his way of getting over a sad time. Great Vids..
What an amazing experience your giving these young people! Your hearts are so big to invite so many people into your home and just show them the world. (But also thanks so much for sharing this with all of us too! Love going along on the adventure.) ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Renne - First and foremost you don't need to apologise to anyone for your life. None know the circumstances and context of your life. YOU ARE A GREAT MOM ! Love kieth for his wry sense of humour and outlook to life. Hats off to you and kieth for taking in and looking after 10 kids presently. The experience for these guest kids is a life time adventure cum exposure. Till next time.....happy sailing and fair winds.
Sarcasm is often used to deal with difficult situations. It's not that it normalizes what happened but rather a coping mechanism used to help deal. If you're curious, there are several reputable studies conducted on the subject. Much respect to you and Keith, Renee!
Just another amazing episode. I just maybe wanna mention that each new group of sailers is getting better and better . Can't wait for the next one. Love you guys.
Keith & Renee, I am really enjoying this group of young people all have shown the kindness your family does engaging life. I hope they all grow in life from this experience with many opportunities.
please dont ever feel like you owe anyone an apology for what someone else has said to one another in a video. I think thats what makes your channel great and AUTHENTIC is your unapologetic humor and your amazing " we are who we are" outlook. I hope you don't ever have to feel like you have to second guess what you are posting because someone doesnt have thick skin no sense of humor or whatever it may be because if they were offended it probably will happen again and this channel probably isnt the place for them..lol WE LOVE YOU Z FAM!!!
Please don't apologize for someone else's lack of understanding.. I can understand from their perspective, but they need to understand your's as well. I'm a nurse and believe you me we definitely have dark humor. I have seen so much over the years and have consoled many family members upon the death of a loved one after we did all the life saving measures we could or just a loved one that passed due to old age, etc. Even my own relatives. I performed CPR on my uncle at the hospital I worked at as I saw him take his last breath and my aunt was in the hallway wailing as I called a code blue while doing chest compressions. I recently performed hospice care for my dying step-father, the brother of the uncle I mentioned and I helped him pass without pain. In both of those situations I showed little emotion because it was not about me, but about them. Maybe that is because I have seen death many times, but also I wanted to support my family and be there, not myself. It is very difficult so humor helps us deal with those situations. It does not mean we do not have empathy or even sympathy. We often times grow very close to our patients and their families. I morn losses like anyone and losing a child for me would be the worst. I've always said we all have an expiration date, but we will certainly miss those that have passed. Love you all and God bless you and the naysayers from good old Ft. Worth, TX. Actually, I'm here in Kemah, TX as I'm watching your video on my sailboat hoping to get out there with y'all asap, but roadblocks keep coming up. Just had knee surgery ten days ago for example so anyway we will be "out there on the water" soon!
Sarcasm and joking about different life events(good or bad) is a very “American” thing. I know you have viewers from all over the world, and people view it differently. My family is the same exact way, and it’s a big part of why I enjoy your content because I can relate. Keith and my own father are incredibly similar 😂 Same personality, sense of humor, etc. Hell, they even have the same facial hair
I'm from Europe and my family is the same way. I think it's a state of mind. We don't deal with things the same way. And some cultures act different. Most because of religion! 98% of the times. But, Ok! I understand that. Saúde, amigo!!
No one owes anyone an apology. The fact that you could have easily edited those comments out of the video but didn't speaks volumes. It makes you more genuine and aren't trying to hide anything. It's obvious that it was said in jest. Actually I think it took guts to include those comments in the video. You're very authentic.
I admire your generosity and patience, I raised two kids and their close friends, I just can’t imagine 8 teens in such tight quarters…..best of luck, your kids are so fortunate to have that lifestyle….I wish more parents could show their kids that level of togetherness and how critical it is to raising good humans…..bless you both
Awesome I'd love to visit this Island.....I've studied the bible and biblical history my whole life! What a blessing! So glad you mentioned John and Revelation
Be careful of what you wish, I've visited Jerusalem a couple of times... like she said, many are now tourists sites and not really authentic. You will be disappointed for some of them.
Well done Rene and Keith. Thanks for a great get a way show. Always stay authentic and true to yourselves, no need to apologise. Safe travels to all of you.
You are making such a positive difference in each of these young adult's lives. Thank you for that. They will be eternally grateful for the rest of their lives. God Speed.
Rene, you and Keith are genuine people. And that's why I love your videos. If anyone thought Keith was serious, they are part of that "woke" culture... and obviously don't know who you are. I know what it's like to grieve, and sometimes humor (dark humor), is what's needed to move forward. The real fans, know and love you guys for being you. Keep the REAL videos coming!
Why does everything that you republicans find offensive is 'woke'? How terribly lazy! How typical that you can not see or understand that some people are so deeply affected by the loss in their own family that they can not get past it and see Keith's 'dark humour' as Renee calls it. Having seen their videos, I get their humour. Caring is not a weakness! It is who we are as humans. Get over yourself!
Renee, I am married to a guy with the same dry, sarcastic humour, & it is one of the things I love the most about him. Over the years his political incorrectness has upset many folks who don’t understand that’s how we roll, my mother included. But he is my husband & I also possess that same dry humour & it goes both ways, it just isn’t seen by most folks. And for the record, I ran over my daughters foot when she was 11. And yes, 10 years on I too joke just like Keith does when she is dawdling to get in the car. Time heals all wounds, & laughter is the medicine we choose to use in those times. Thankyou for affirming that Keith had nothing to apologise for. Folks have forgotten how a strong marriage works. It involves a lot of banter. Also thanks for the Penne pasta bake recipe... Gonna give that a try. 🤙🏽 Much love from Down Under 🙃💗
I totally agree with you I’ve been married for 45 years. My husband was in a really bad accident in 2015. in the hospital six months in a coma for 2 1/2 months and everything we went through in our life we laugh about it.that’s why we are still together.and about two weeks after he came out of his coma we laughed so hard about something I almost peed my pants.I never dreamt I would ever laugh about,humour is key to a good marriage.
You have grown so much I just I remember starting to watch yalls videos I think maybe a year after y’all started and today I got the alert and I decided to start watching and there was about 30 something views and when I’m finished with the video you already have half 1 million congratulations I love this new crew. I love this video today. It was a little different from usual, but it was an awesome video.
u don't need to justify ur humour and past experiences anyone thats watched for a while gets you and understands. that's one of the great things about your family the way yous joke about "serious" or said to be harmful topics as a way of coping and just for a laugh love ur family and how chilled and light hearted yous are, people took offence to a joke about grhanam and there all just snowflakes... anyway
Renee, you're a great Mom to all the med crew, you share you're ❤️ and take care of each one. I enjoy videos about you & Keith, relationships with your own kids and with us the viewers & how you explain the kitchen, providing meals and provisions. Amazing lady & truly Amazing life.
Everyone deals with things in their own way and time. Laughter or sarcasm is often the best form of making light of a bad situation. Y’all have an awesome family! Live free! Live happy! Keep on truckin! Or sailing…Cheers from Arkansas!
I like that you are always teaching - that makes my heart leap. Even when internet people have no business making comments about your (or **to** your) family sailing on the water half way around the world, you still set aside time for making a teaching moment from it. That's courage!
Aren't people entitled little fluff balls these days? Demanding apologies while enjoying the free entertainment you so graciously provide. The only thing I would ask is for more close up camera smooches from captain Jack! Zamm Zaddy! Lol❤
I'm sorry that some people requested an apology from Keith or an apology to you, anyone who has watched you guys for a long time already know his sense of humor and we understood it exactly as how it was intended. If people don't like it then don't watch. This isn't a scripted reality show folks, this is real people saying and doing what they please and we have no right to judge. Keep up the great content and please don't second guess your comments, we love you for exactly who you are. XO
Humour is just one emotion that we all go through in order to deal and cope with grief. It’s important to be able to process loss, that process being many faceted. It was used in the British forces constantly to help with highly stressful situations, without this process we would simply not be able to process it which leads to complications down the road. It can appear to be “dark” and insensitive, but it’s how it’s a perfectly normal human reaction, and important for individuals to accept and to use it. It’s certainly not for others to criticise those that use it, it’s not for them to judge. Please never apologise for using it. I wasn’t offended, I never would be. Thank you for sharing this with us, it’s very brave of you, but so important for those in that process that it is acceptable to use it. That things will get better, and that they are not alone in that grief. It’s part of life. Cherish the happiness and live your life’s to the max. XX
Awesome video guys!!! I think it's funny that people say the kids don't get to interact with other kids. Just ask the haters if they let their kids have slumber parties for a month. That is incredible. I bet most kids in the US have never had a friend stay one night at their house. You all are so awesome for letting others get a taste of the adventure life. See y'all next time.
I love you all and I enjoy everybit of your boat life. Great to see the kids enjoying new friends, and I would like to specifically thank you for respect showing to Ghanam on his food as he does not eat pork, samo here, and just thought that I needed to thank you guys for that and for the joy you bring us as followers or viewer's, love from Kosovo.
It seems that every week I end up saying "another great video". That's because it always is!! The hi-light of my Thursdays is watching your videos and looking forward to the next one. Awesome how everyone gets along and shares in the responsibilities as well. If you do this again, it's going to be really hard to find another amazing group of young people to bring aboard. I haven't heard one negative comment from any of them! Much love to you all and continue to have a great time on board Zatara!! See ya next week!!
In the 1970's I was a 17yo cook in the Royal Navy, on Aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal 1100 meals 3 times a day And again in the 1980's on carrier HMS Illustrious feeding around 1000 men three times a day. I'm very good at frying egg and chips.... Breakfast is the most annoying meal as there are so many things to bring together at the same time... Fortunately our food was all delivered by Helo when we were at sea... :) Your comments about humour and sarcasm, I'm with you there. Absolutely.
Don’t apologize for ANYONE…your channel. And if those folks have been watching long enough then they’d understand the humor. Keith reminds me of a buddy of mine, good guy, dark humor, big heart. Love the channel and keep doing what you’re doing!
Have been watching you guys for years and must say I really enjoy every bit of it. Great new crew and keeping the episodes very interesting. Enjoy the last few weeks together. @Keith and Renee thank you for letting us into your lives and no need to apologize to anyone. God heal and restore in time.
If you're Ok and Keith is Ok, do not bow to the people who are so upset with their own emotions that they feel they have to change others. I wouldn't watch if you would have handled this any other way. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Great Med Crew as well!
Ibam amazed that everyone gets aong so well. You have a great group of kids. I think it is wonderful that you welcome kids from so many countries and then treat them as your own. This is why I just love your family. This seems like such a wonderful crew. I'm glad no one seems sick all the time. Safe travels.
You don't owe anything to strangers on the internet! I appreciate your outlook on life Renee and Keith. Also i have a question for the crew if they'd like to answer, ive always wondered if you could have ANY pet to live with you on the boat (special boat animal that would be totally fine at sea) which would you have? Safe ttravels for everyone:)
I’m not sure why people are so quick to be offended. You were talking about something personal. Something incredibly painful for your family. All I could see was a man dealing with pain the best way he knows how. If Rene is all right with it, and so is Keith…. Why would anyone else be upset. 😊 you do you! Thanks for the episode.
What an interesting episode, thank you. You are amazing, Renee. Cooking those big meals is a lot of hard work and creativity, always a smile on your face while preparing the meals. You have chosen an exceptional group of kids to join you.
I so enjoy witnessing your rich lives, I just love that you've invited these young adults aboard and the dynamics they bring. Such a win-win. Thanks for sharing, I love Thursdays! (and now Mondays too!)
It is natural to make light of something tragic. My mom recently had cancer and the AMOUNT of cancer jokes we made is astounding. It helps us process, makes sure we don't forget and just bring attention to what happened in a better way
Please keep Glory on, she is such an amazing character and mature beyond her age. All the crew is great and I'm sure they are having the time of their lives. I'm glad you guys all laugh together. I don't care for a victim mentality, so Keith doesn't owe me an apology. Finn's and the Crew Monday videos are stellar, right up there with Renne's amazing filming and editing, but with a different perspective. I'm sure it's hard to keep veggies fresh on a boat for long periods of time. On long passages you probably have lots of boxed, canned, dried, and frozen foods which is understandable. Kate sure is getting tall. Watching your family grow up has been so entertaining. They each bring something to the table. Thanks for sharing with us fans over the years!
Mama Renee, I feel compelled to comment (again...😅) I am grateful you took the time to share details of your family's traumatic loss. You needn't have, and it has no doubt cost you (again..). I amongst others am stronger for having learnt from your example that the darkest times can be experienced yet recovered from. The vast majority of viewers can also see the successful coping mechanisms you have all employed. Finally I must opine that it is not for others to comment on how a family survives traumatic experiences, better only to celebrate the fact they did. God bless you ma'am, you and your entire family owe apologies to no one. xx🤗🤗
13:25 when my grandpa passed away at home we went to see my granny at their home and when we got there the jokes started. But my grandpa was a very humorous man and he would have wanted us to joke instead of being sad. 😢
I have to commend you on your interview process. This group is awesome individually and as a group. Great personalities to merge together. I vote for Glory to continue!!! lol
It looks like as you would expect... the kids are living their best lives.. Lots of positive energy on the boat. I would offer that Keith's humor is infectious.
No apologies needed! Growing up in Montana I am used to real people. Laughter and joking is the only way can make it through life. One of the reasons I love your channel is Keith being real. So refreshing!
You don’t need to give any apology. It’s your Channel, your Content. If people don’t like it, watch something else. What makes your channel great is your authenticity. You can’t please them all.
Nicely put and agree.
Well said "authenticity" is the word I was looking for
Of course no need for apologies. But how embarrassing! Are you battered Rene? That baby thing was the ultimate most ridiculous thing I've heard on a respectable channel. Wow.

😊👍

No apology required as long time followers know that that is his way of dealing with issues.
Amen to that!
Exactly. Complainers can move on!

If i don't take a dig at you it means i do not like or respect you and if someone can't take a dig from me, then is no room for friendship as is who i am.
would be interesting to see each kid of make one of their favourite meals for the group and that way they could all experience a new dish especially from Brazil and Saudi.
I thought the same thing! Great minds...
Great idea!
To late they are gone.
Hope that the young lady gets to fulfill her dream to stay longer and sail the Amalfi Coast with y’all!
Keith and Renee, thank you, thank you for giving these kids this life changing experience!
This made me cry!
Renee, for future reference it's really easy to make Chik-Fil-A Sauce. In case you can't get it regularly and everyone likes it. Here's the ingredients: 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 cup mayonnaise.

Totally agree Keith is a wonderful individual and your whole family are wonderful.
Remember a episode years ago i only watched few months back as only just came across them from other sailing shows.
Renee was potting some spice plants and were joking she wasn't very good at it. she said something along the lines of. like my children have a lot of them and atleast a few will turn out alright.
Can tell is humor and not meant as a serious thought at all.
Made me laugh.
As an Englishman the sarcasm and dark humour is well known to us. We use it in all kinds of situations with all our friends and family, and we all have a laugh about it. It's part of bonding for us and others around the world. The alternative is to mope around or be on eggshells, which isn't a good way to live.
hip hip ol man
It’s so amazing that you can take young kids from all around the world, put them on a boat having never met before ,and get along so well. This channels doing a lot more than watching y’all have fun, we’re seeing humility, and integrity once again. Thanks for being awesome Whitaker family and Guests! 🙏
Kids don’t care about race, religion, they just enjoy doing the same stuff together and having a laugh. Ohh to be young in the bones again. Always young at heart🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺
Feeding a bunch of growing kids is costly, time consuming and never ending challenge for the primary cook. Always nice to have the pack mules that consume to carry what they eat. The crew seems to be enjoying themselves and that is always good.
Renae, your eyes told the whole story when you told us about your stillborn birth. Dealing with a devastating loss and coming to terms with it shows true courage.
IT shows how it hurt you !!! Kieth you are an ass !!!! give that woman way more love and respect !!!!! what do you do for this family ??? honestly i see very little !!! Renee WE LOVE YOU !!! SO MUCH !!!!
@@flipme62you seem to have no idea about sarcasm, grief, or "gallows humor". Not only that, but Keith keeps that boat running and it's a monumental task. Just because you don't understand humor, that's hardly their problem.
@@flipme62and your opinion is relevant in what way again "Comment Section Karen"?
@@RELENTLESSxRG this is a Comment section!
@@tlevans62 is this Keith's Brother? Even the kids on the first voyage disliked Keith ! Their words not mine! Sorry BROTHER.
This is the best channel I've found on UA-cam and Finns channel is great too, I think you need to adopt all the new kids so they can stay with y'all forever 🤣 and never let anyone steal your sunshine, your healing process belongs only to you.
For all you’ve given anyone whose watched your videos it’s astounding that a group of people would feel entitled to demand anything from you. Those of us who have followed your journey know that Keith’s comments were not malicious and, in fact, likely helped people move through their own grieving process. Keith is a tremendous person, father, and husband and anyone who has followed your journey knows this fact.
Very well said Chef!👍👏👏👏
I don’t think people are demanding an apology. I think people are disgusted by the comments. The fact that these people believe they were right to make such comments just shows who they are. It’s not pretty.
People are addicted to outrage. Ridiculous of them to demand an apology for YOUR tragedy. You do you, Keith and Rene.
Yep, it's toxic manipulative behavior, trying to control what other people are allowed to say.
As a Saudi I really enjoy your videos since you guys were at 60k!
I was screaming when I found out you were having a Saudi member on crew
I appreciate your efforts for our guy renee your a truly amazing woman and mother
This is one of my favorite youtube channels the video quality is amazing I hope to see more of your videos in the future
Awesome family. Mom works so hard supporting the family with all their needs. Dad is so smart he’s a wizard. I just stumbled on your channel and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Renee, my grandfather was a tough man. His saying was “if you get your feelings hurt, it’s your own damn fault for having weak ass feelings” so we grew up poking fun at each other’s misfortunes and made it through life just fine. Love your family!!!!!!!
As for food and chores I think it’s great to expose these kids to different things. I love how you have made it work for everyone to have a great experience. And honestly as a former vegetarian turned keto I appreciate you guys eat a lot of meats and that’s awesome! 👏🏼😉 and please don’t apologize humor is an art form that seems to be disappearing! ❤
Keith and Renee are amazing. Beautiful couple and great example to the world on how to parent, how to work together as a team, how to build a family tribe, and how to be a couple. I’m sure they have their issues, their challenges, etc. like everybody else. But, I love everything about what they are doing and who they are: from Keith’s repair jobs and ship maintenance and planning, to Renees, social media skills, commitment to excellence in her videography, and her family management. They are both so awesome. The kids don’t know how fortunate they are to have such grounded, humble, committed and talented parents. I pray for your safe and fruitful travels.
Well said
I’m hopping I can financially do this with my family one day. Sailing the world. I’m a dad of 3 at the moment from Mississippi and it’s good to see a family with similar values do the things I really want to do. Keep loving life!
Start making a plan, and don't be afraid to ask everybody to get a part time job to contribute to a fund -- one person can easily bring in a few thousand extra dollars per month by doing something as easy as delivering pizza (dinner time is most profitable).
If you get 3 or 4 people doing that, $10K per month adds up to a used sailboat fund, really quick.
The ones that owe an apology are the men that dont spend anytime with their wife or kids. Look at all that Keith has done for his family. He owes an apology to no one.
😊👍
I second that!
Yes you're right about men Owen apologies to their wives and kids we don't spend time with them I was in one of those relationships I was so upset with my husband. I see other people with their husbands and wives. Spending so much time with him I did get jealous about because they would equal and compatible with each. When you don't have that equal compatible that love spark like I didn't have relationships are different. So if my life I've been through so much one thing that I have is I have God he's the only one that was back to me in my life my strength my challenges I'm still standing strong as a woman.
I don't think Keith owes an apology to his family the best thing for his family and life protecting them in this goddamn world the world is so sick in hell that I am so glad that Keith and Renee has their children out on the boat learning the world the political stuff that we were able to sick world they understand it too but they're staying out of it the drama shit
Hey James. I would hope that you don't judge those of us that had jobs that kept us away from our families. I was in an entertainment field that tookj me around the world for months at a time. Didn't mean that I loved my kids any less than Keith. Do I wish I had been able to spend more time with my kids... Sure. But, then we wouldn't have nice things in life. All my kids turned out great and now that I am retired we have fun, so, there's that. And YOUR need for fun kept me away from my family so be happy that people are willing to sacriice so you and your kids can have fun.
This channel never needs to change. The authenticity of your thoughts, opinions, and feelings is exactly what drives people to watch and love what y'all are doing. Please don't cave in to the hypocrisy of the current society tries to gouge in our everyday lives. Keith Rene and all the crew stay true and never apologize, that is what makes y'all GREAT
Humour on the darkest of days is the remedy the world needs more of..... shout out to you and your family!!
The time and effort that goes into these videos. Amazing Renee
Me too. Renee your awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She could get a full-time production editing job in any news room or production facility anywhere in the country. She produces amazing network quality product.
Keith is a good man, and you have an admirable family. Life is hard for everyone at times. Getting through has your family has is a sign of wisdom and maturity on his part. It is obvious he loves you all.
Cannot say enough about how much I enjoy these videos. I am sure I'm in good company. You are all delightful and it is a joy to watch. Thank you!
You brought these kids on the trip of a lifetime. And your kids get to experience this year round. Great channel awesome family. I've been watching your channel for a couple years now. And in my humble opinion both yourself and Keith are amazing parents. Keep sailing and bring us many more smiles. Love from Bristol Connecticut!!!
Renee I’m only halfway through this vlog, just wanted you to know as sandwich, Queen Meal Provider, you have my respect. AND then you revisited a painful chapter in yours and Keith’s life (as if anyone else had a worthy say) with such integrity, you have my total respect.
I just wanted to add, you guys did nothing wrong, your a normal family. We all had bad situations in are life, losing a family member is hard, but also when you have a pet that pasted, its hard. I like Keith will never forget what happened, its his way of getting over a sad time. Great Vids..
What an amazing experience your giving these young people! Your hearts are so big to invite so many people into your home and just show them the world. (But also thanks so much for sharing this with all of us too! Love going along on the adventure.) ♥️♥️♥️♥️
You owe nobody an explanation or an apology for anything! Continue with your lives as you see fit.. I love watching your adventures.
Renne - First and foremost you don't need to apologise to anyone for your life. None know the circumstances and context of your life. YOU ARE A GREAT MOM ! Love kieth for his wry sense of humour and outlook to life.
Hats off to you and kieth for taking in and looking after 10 kids presently. The experience for these guest kids is a life time adventure cum exposure.
Till next time.....happy sailing and fair winds.
Sarcasm is often used to deal with difficult situations. It's not that it normalizes what happened but rather a coping mechanism used to help deal. If you're curious, there are several reputable studies conducted on the subject. Much respect to you and Keith, Renee!
Love this crew! All such amazing kidos! Absolutely no apology needed to anyone! Y’all are an amazing family and the love shines through! ❤
You made me hungry, Renee!! You guys struck gold with this crew. What a bunch of amazing young people!
Anyone else catch Kieth walking on the street with his arm around Jacks shoulder? I love this family. And Luke is the coolest guest this far.
Personally, i think the choice of Med crew is amazing. All very personable in their own ways.
Yes, the same man that people are saying the kind and caring . They're an amazing family and have amazing relationships with each other
Just another amazing episode. I just maybe wanna mention that each new group of sailers is getting better and better . Can't wait for the next one. Love you guys.
Keith & Renee, I am really enjoying this group of young people all have shown the kindness your family does engaging life. I hope they all grow in life from this experience with many opportunities.
please dont ever feel like you owe anyone an apology for what someone else has said to one another in a video. I think thats what makes your channel great and AUTHENTIC is your unapologetic humor and your amazing " we are who we are" outlook. I hope you don't ever have to feel like you have to second guess what you are posting because someone doesnt have thick skin no sense of humor or whatever it may be because if they were offended it probably will happen again and this channel probably isnt the place for them..lol
WE LOVE YOU Z FAM!!!
I love this very traditional family doing untraditional things.
Please don't apologize for someone else's lack of understanding.. I can understand from their perspective, but they need to understand your's as well. I'm a nurse and believe you me we definitely have dark humor. I have seen so much over the years and have consoled many family members upon the death of a loved one after we did all the life saving measures we could or just a loved one that passed due to old age, etc. Even my own relatives. I performed CPR on my uncle at the hospital I worked at as I saw him take his last breath and my aunt was in the hallway wailing as I called a code blue while doing chest compressions. I recently performed hospice care for my dying step-father, the brother of the uncle I mentioned and I helped him pass without pain. In both of those situations I showed little emotion because it was not about me, but about them. Maybe that is because I have seen death many times, but also I wanted to support my family and be there, not myself. It is very difficult so humor helps us deal with those situations. It does not mean we do not have empathy or even sympathy. We often times grow very close to our patients and their families. I morn losses like anyone and losing a child for me would be the worst. I've always said we all have an expiration date, but we will certainly miss those that have passed. Love you all and God bless you and the naysayers from good old Ft. Worth, TX. Actually, I'm here in Kemah, TX as I'm watching your video on my sailboat hoping to get out there with y'all asap, but roadblocks keep coming up. Just had knee surgery ten days ago for example so anyway we will be "out there on the water" soon!
Sarcasm and joking about different life events(good or bad) is a very “American” thing. I know you have viewers from all over the world, and people view it differently. My family is the same exact way, and it’s a big part of why I enjoy your content because I can relate. Keith and my own father are incredibly similar 😂 Same personality, sense of humor, etc. Hell, they even have the same facial hair
😊👍
I'm from Europe and my family is the same way. I think it's a state of mind. We don't deal with things the same way. And some cultures act different. Most because of religion! 98% of the times. But, Ok! I understand that.
Saúde, amigo!!
No one owes anyone an apology. The fact that you could have easily edited those comments out of the video but didn't speaks volumes. It makes you more genuine and aren't trying to hide anything. It's obvious that it was said in jest. Actually I think it took guts to include those comments in the video. You're very authentic.
Props to you Renee for being an awesome mother!
I admire your generosity and patience, I raised two kids and their close friends, I just can’t imagine 8 teens in such tight quarters…..best of luck, your kids are so fortunate to have that lifestyle….I wish more parents could show their kids that level of togetherness and how critical it is to raising good humans…..bless you both
Awesome I'd love to visit this Island.....I've studied the bible and biblical history my whole life! What a blessing! So glad you mentioned John and Revelation
Be careful of what you wish, I've visited Jerusalem a couple of times... like she said, many are now tourists sites and not really authentic. You will be disappointed for some of them.
Lol Keith is the funny out-a-pocket dad that makes jokes make people uncomfortable and I love it! Lol reminds me of my uncles and brothers
Well done Rene and Keith. Thanks for a great get a way show. Always stay authentic and true to yourselves, no need to apologise. Safe travels to all of you.
You are making such a positive difference in each of these young adult's lives. Thank you for that. They will be eternally grateful for the rest of their lives. God Speed.
Rene, you and Keith are genuine people. And that's why I love your videos. If anyone thought Keith was serious, they are part of that "woke" culture... and obviously don't know who you are. I know what it's like to grieve, and sometimes humor (dark humor), is what's needed to move forward. The real fans, know and love you guys for being you.
Keep the REAL videos coming!
Why does everything that you republicans find offensive is 'woke'? How terribly lazy! How typical that you can not see or understand that some people are so deeply affected by the loss in their own family that they can not get past it and see Keith's 'dark humour' as Renee calls it. Having seen their videos, I get their humour. Caring is not a weakness! It is who we are as humans. Get over yourself!
Renee, I am married to a guy with the same dry, sarcastic humour, & it is one of the things I love the most about him.
Over the years his political incorrectness has upset many folks who don’t understand that’s how we roll, my mother included.
But he is my husband & I also possess that same dry humour & it goes both ways, it just isn’t seen by most folks.
And for the record, I ran over my daughters foot when she was 11.
And yes, 10 years on I too joke just like Keith does when she is dawdling to get in the car.
Time heals all wounds, & laughter is the medicine we choose to use in those times.
Thankyou for affirming that Keith had nothing to apologise for.
Folks have forgotten how a strong marriage works.
It involves a lot of banter.
Also thanks for the Penne pasta bake recipe... Gonna give that a try. 🤙🏽
Much love from Down Under 🙃💗
John, the Apostle was given his Revelation to write the Book of Revelation on the island of Patmos in about 90 A.D., Praise God!!
I totally agree with you I’ve been married for 45 years. My husband was in a really bad accident in 2015. in the hospital six months in a coma for 2 1/2 months and everything we went through in our life we laugh about it.that’s why we are still together.and about two weeks after he came out of his coma we laughed so hard about something I almost peed my pants.I never dreamt I would ever laugh about,humour is key to a good marriage.
You have grown so much I just I remember starting to watch yalls videos I think maybe a year after y’all started and today I got the alert and I decided to start watching and there was about 30 something views and when I’m finished with the video you already have half 1 million congratulations I love this new crew. I love this video today. It was a little different from usual, but it was an awesome video.
What fun they are all having! I can imagine how challenging meal planning can be! Kudos to doing it so well for so many!
u don't need to justify ur humour and past experiences anyone thats watched for a while gets you and understands. that's one of the great things about your family the way yous joke about "serious" or said to be harmful topics as a way of coping and just for a laugh love ur family and how chilled and light hearted yous are, people took offence to a joke about grhanam and there all just snowflakes... anyway
I really liked the first crew but this crew just makes me smile. Awesome job at picking an amazing group of young adults.
Cheers from Minnesota! Been with you and your dream from the very beginning.
Renee, you're a great Mom to all the med crew, you share you're ❤️ and take care of each one. I enjoy videos about you & Keith, relationships with your own kids and with us the viewers & how you explain the kitchen, providing meals and provisions. Amazing lady & truly Amazing life.
Everyone deals with things in their own way and time. Laughter or sarcasm is often the best form of making light of a bad situation. Y’all have an awesome family! Live free! Live happy! Keep on truckin! Or sailing…Cheers from Arkansas!
I like that you are always teaching - that makes my heart leap. Even when internet people have no business making comments about your (or **to** your) family sailing on the water half way around the world, you still set aside time for making a teaching moment from it. That's courage!
I look forward to yalls uploads every week! You guys did a great job at picking out the "crew .2"
Aren't people entitled little fluff balls these days? Demanding apologies while enjoying the free entertainment you so graciously provide. The only thing I would ask is for more close up camera smooches from captain Jack! Zamm Zaddy! Lol❤
I'm sorry that some people requested an apology from Keith or an apology to you, anyone who has watched you guys for a long time already know his sense of humor and we understood it exactly as how it was intended. If people don't like it then don't watch. This isn't a scripted reality show folks, this is real people saying and doing what they please and we have no right to judge. Keep up the great content and please don't second guess your comments, we love you for exactly who you are. XO
Humour is just one emotion that we all go through in order to deal and cope with grief. It’s important to be able to process loss, that process being many faceted. It was used in the British forces constantly to help with highly stressful situations, without this process we would simply not be able to process it which leads to complications down the road. It can appear to be “dark” and insensitive, but it’s how it’s a perfectly normal human reaction, and important for individuals to accept and to use it. It’s certainly not for others to criticise those that use it, it’s not for them to judge. Please never apologise for using it. I wasn’t offended, I never would be. Thank you for sharing this with us, it’s very brave of you, but so important for those in that process that it is acceptable to use it. That things will get better, and that they are not alone in that grief. It’s part of life. Cherish the happiness and live your life’s to the max. XX
Awesome video guys!!! I think it's funny that people say the kids don't get to interact with other kids. Just ask the haters if they let their kids have slumber parties for a month. That is incredible. I bet most kids in the US have never had a friend stay one night at their house. You all are so awesome for letting others get a taste of the adventure life. See y'all next time.
I love you all and I enjoy everybit of your boat life. Great to see the kids enjoying new friends, and I would like to specifically thank you for respect showing to Ghanam on his food as he does not eat pork, samo here, and just thought that I needed to thank you guys for that and for the joy you bring us as followers or viewer's, love from Kosovo.
It seems that every week I end up saying "another great video". That's because it always is!! The hi-light of my Thursdays is watching your videos and looking forward to the next one. Awesome how everyone gets along and shares in the responsibilities as well. If you do this again, it's going to be really hard to find another amazing group of young people to bring aboard. I haven't heard one negative comment from any of them! Much love to you all and continue to have a great time on board Zatara!! See ya next week!!
In the 1970's I was a 17yo cook in the Royal Navy, on Aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal 1100 meals 3 times a day
And again in the 1980's on carrier HMS Illustrious feeding around 1000 men three times a day.
I'm very good at frying egg and chips....
Breakfast is the most annoying meal as there are so many things to bring together at the same time...
Fortunately our food was all delivered by Helo when we were at sea... :)
Your comments about humour and sarcasm, I'm with you there. Absolutely.
I really enjoy Luke's sense of humor! Great group!
Don’t apologize for ANYONE…your channel. And if those folks have been watching long enough then they’d understand the humor. Keith reminds me of a buddy of mine, good guy, dark humor, big heart. Love the channel and keep doing what you’re doing!
Y'all are my people. Thanks for sharing your life with us!!!
Have been watching you guys for years and must say I really enjoy every bit of it. Great new crew and keeping the episodes very interesting. Enjoy the last few weeks together. @Keith and Renee thank you for letting us into your lives and no need to apologize to anyone. God heal and restore in time.
If you're Ok and Keith is Ok, do not bow to the people who are so upset with their own emotions that they feel they have to change others. I wouldn't watch if you would have handled this any other way. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Great Med Crew as well!
Ibam amazed that everyone gets aong so well. You have a great group of kids. I think it is wonderful that you welcome kids from so many countries and then treat them as your own. This is why I just love your family. This seems like such a wonderful crew. I'm glad no one seems sick all the time. Safe travels.
You don't owe anything to strangers on the internet! I appreciate your outlook on life Renee and Keith.
Also i have a question for the crew if they'd like to answer, ive always wondered if you could have ANY pet to live with you on the boat (special boat animal that would be totally fine at sea) which would you have?
Safe ttravels for everyone:)
So is beautiful blue eyed Madeline and Finn falling in love? Also, Renee you owe NO ONE an apology! God Bless you and your family. Love from Texas!
Fantastic crew! Greek islands! What can be better! I always enjoy watching your videos.
sometimes you have to use humor and sarcasm to heal. and he has no need for any apology! he is such an awesome person!
Thanks for sharing your story.
You and Keith have the same kind of relationship that we do. We are sarcastic, quick witted and try to make each other laugh. Love you guys!
I’m not sure why people are so quick to be offended. You were talking about something personal. Something incredibly painful for your family. All I could see was a man dealing with pain the best way he knows how. If Rene is all right with it, and so is Keith…. Why would anyone else be upset. 😊 you do you! Thanks for the episode.
What an interesting episode, thank you. You are amazing, Renee. Cooking those big meals is a lot of hard work and creativity, always a smile on your face while preparing the meals. You have chosen an exceptional group of kids to join you.
The Sailing Zatara UA-cam videos are edited very nicely!! Love watching them! Great job Renee! :)
I so enjoy witnessing your rich lives, I just love that you've invited these young adults aboard and the dynamics they bring. Such a win-win. Thanks for sharing, I love Thursdays! (and now Mondays too!)
Hahaha 😂 If they think Keith's going to apologize, they are in for a L. O. N. G. Wait ..
It is natural to make light of something tragic. My mom recently had cancer and the AMOUNT of cancer jokes we made is astounding. It helps us process, makes sure we don't forget and just bring attention to what happened in a better way
What a great bunch of human beings…way to go Renee…fun video…greetings from 🇨🇦
Please keep Glory on, she is such an amazing character and mature beyond her age. All the crew is great and I'm sure they are having the time of their lives. I'm glad you guys all laugh together. I don't care for a victim mentality, so Keith doesn't owe me an apology. Finn's and the Crew Monday videos are stellar, right up there with Renne's amazing filming and editing, but with a different perspective. I'm sure it's hard to keep veggies fresh on a boat for long periods of time. On long passages you probably have lots of boxed, canned, dried, and frozen foods which is understandable. Kate sure is getting tall. Watching your family grow up has been so entertaining. They each bring something to the table. Thanks for sharing with us fans over the years!
Perfect start to my day!
Mama Renee, I feel compelled to comment (again...😅) I am grateful you took the time to share details of your family's traumatic loss. You needn't have, and it has no doubt cost you (again..). I amongst others am stronger for having learnt from your example that the darkest times can be experienced yet recovered from. The vast majority of viewers can also see the successful coping mechanisms you have all employed. Finally I must opine that it is not for others to comment on how a family survives traumatic experiences, better only to celebrate the fact they did. God bless you ma'am, you and your entire family owe apologies to no one. xx🤗🤗
Excellent vid! Thank you, Renee, for your hustle and bustle. Great bunch!
13:25 when my grandpa passed away at home we went to see my granny at their home and when we got there the jokes started. But my grandpa was a very humorous man and he would have wanted us to joke instead of being sad. 😢
I have to commend you on your interview process. This group is awesome individually and as a group. Great personalities to merge together. I vote for Glory to continue!!! lol
Yes, keep Glory ❤❤❤🎉
It looks like as you would expect... the kids are living their best lives.. Lots of positive energy on the boat. I would offer that Keith's humor is infectious.
Thanks for who you are and what you do.
No apologies needed! Growing up in Montana I am used to real people. Laughter and joking is the only way can make it through life. One of the reasons I love your channel is Keith being real. So refreshing!
