    It's easy to tell that these are some top-tier parents based on the behavior and demeanor of the kids.
    The kids are calm yet energetic, brave yet humble. But most important of all, their happiness radiates!
    Truly inspirational!

    Its Hump Day June 12, 2024, and I felt led to go back and watch the adventure of buying the Catamaran again. It's been really amazing watching your family grow up out there on the water, and I hope your new endeavors keep growing on.... Love your channel from southern Indiana USA.

    I would just like to thank you for allowing us to spend time with your Lovely Family, My 3 children are all grown and out in the world creating their own family memories to look back on in years to come, I unfortunately was in a bad Motorcycle accident in 2012 ( The driver of the van coming the other way at us was texting while driving a full size van ) I lost a leg and shattered 4 vertebra in my spine leaving me with very limited walking abilities and just not a great life for an active person like me. My wife Passed away from cancer just 18 months ago ,so I spend my time living and traveling like we used to do with kind people like you and your family. it makes all the difference in the world as far as a life of complete depression and one where I smile and chuckle a lot watching people like you, Thanks again, Please be safe and I'll be watching . . . .

      Agreed but I know where it's coming from. The US in particular has their worst wealth disparity for 100 years. It leads to the kind of resentment that can lead to worse. We can all shake our heads at a few internet trolls but there is a very serious problem and every solution gets calls socialism by right wingers.

      John, I grew up poor - in the 50s. Being poor today is nothing like being poor was in the 50s. So, basically, I've been there, done that, couldn't afford the t-shirt. I have no real sympathy for people who complain they're poor today when they would have been rich in the time and place I grew up.

Such a wonderful opportunity for your kids to see the world and its great to see them appreciating the cruising life more. Your improvement as sailors is remarkable after only a year. I'm sure the new Zatara will keep you safe and happy for the many sails to come. Fair winds and fun times!

    My wife and I have been building our farm, orchard, vineyard with sawmill for the last 12 years. We have an adventure every day. I’ve been watching you guys for a long time because even though I do not sail, it cleanses my soul and clears my head to see others chasing their dreams too. There is so much more to life than working to pay bills to pay for stuff you really don’t need. I wish everyone could wake up every morning and do what they love, like we do. It can be done, you just have to make a plan, save your money and then go for it with everything you have. Excellent job guys. L.Wilson, U.S. Army, Ret.

    Glad you found a boat you like. Anyone with nasty comments about your budget needs to chill out. It's the reward for having a successful career and I'm sure a lot of hard work. My boss from my last job retired and sold her restaurant. She was 75 and had worked her butt off her whole life. Usually out in 80-100 hours a week and waited tables and bartended at her own bar. Best boss I've ever had and I'm 51. Her ex husband had died and she met a really nice guy that had his own money and his own Trimaran.. she bought a catamaran about 50 ft and they have been sailing all over the Caribbean and Bahamas ever since. They take a break in winter and live at his house in the Daytona beach area

As far as me living on food stamps and welfare? That gave me a good laugh and I'm sure gave Renee a good giggle too. hahaha. FWIW, I've purchased a ZGear tshirt and hat and have more cute things on my wish list. I love that the kids run the shop and are learning real world business skills.

      I shouldn't be, but this posting is living proof the internet has brought out the worst the USA and other countries have to offer. I was enjoying the video until I decided to check out some comments. What a bunch of ugly and failure in life people that hang out just to pounce on the keys since they have nothing else going on in their miserable lives. Anyway, thanks for the transparency in buying the boat, as my dad once told me, having a range of boats in his lifetime, the famous saying, " a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into", or something along those lines. It's just a matter of perception if the returns in life experiences were worth the investment and hassle, I think in this case it will be worth it. I can say that being removed from what you folks had to go through in the beginning, but I get it. Looking forward to your further adventures.

    This was the first video that came up in my suggestions, and the first one I watched. I've now binge watched all of them. SV Seeker got me watching boat building videos, and from there I'm watching all the major building channels (Life on the mold BTW, if you want to see a cat being built). I've been waiting for any of those guys to get a boat in the water to see what it's like after the build. I feel like you guys have filled that void for me. Excellent production value, so much that I think some of my more picky family would enjoy your videos similar (but better) to how they watch HGTV (ugh).
    It's sad to reach the end of the current supply of videos, but I'm looking forward to having another channel that I have to catch up on as soon as they are released. I could go on, but I'll just say thanks for all the hard work and keep it up!

      It's possible to do it for free - or even get paid for it, as long as you're willing to learn how to sail and be the crew.

    I watched your first several videos then petered out around the Dominican Republic. I checked in several months later and got the wind knocked out of my sails when Kieth whipped out a 50 cal. machine gun and started going on about rightwing/ libertarian political views that I generally don't agree with.
    I came back to your channel when you switched boats just out of curiosity and was actually impressed..
    Political views that I don't agree with aside, you guys are actually nice down to earth people. Nice down to earth people who are intelligent, hard working, sensitive and empathetic. I appreciate that. We live in a county that stands for the rights of its citizens to express their individual differences without censorship or political persecution. That's kinda what's great about America and why so many people around the world still flock here to enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" regardless of "race, creed or color."
    "O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
    These comments are coming to you from Baltimore, Maryland USA where those famous lines were penned so many years ago.
    On a side note. I like Jack's new hair cut. When's he going in the Marines?

    I wish there was more discussion about running costs once a vessel is purchased, everything from factoring in a realistic yearly depreciation amount to the super freak storm damage even though it almost never happens.
    Ongoing costs would be very useful to those doing their homework for a “sea change”. Cheers

    🔶Jack Re 7:07 use a detangler brush, hold your hair from the top and start brush out from the bottom to upwards. Once the hair is smooth, which happens quickly then you can brush or comb it out. I have experience and yours is better quality looking than mine.
    🔷Another thought: You can get a stylist to cut it in a way that you can keep it long, but so that it falls into place without bothering you no matter if you comb, brush, or run your fingers through it
    The fullcut baldness was ruinous, but you do look like one of those varsity swimmers after that.

    I noticed on your video for the Atlantic crossing you had the stars and strips on the boat. Did I miss the video where you explained how you finally got the deal closed and changed the boat from a Greek flagged to a US flagged. I do enjoy how honestly you cover subjects such as this. Great sailing !

    Z Crew, So happy for you guys. Prediction: VAT tax in USA in the next 10 years to fund single payer health system. I hope I am wrong but as a retired politician I think the writing is on the wall. VAT tax in Bahamas actually decreased some revenue. The governments answer was to raise the Vat tax even higher. Any way enough of that. Really excited for the next adventure to begin. GOD bless this beautiful family. JC

      Politicians always promise a gullible public that they'l gouge the rich to pay for public welfare projects. What they never say is that there aren't enough rich people out there - even if you confiscated everything they have - to pay for a lifetime of free cake and circuses.
