Finding this channel has been the single greatest TH-cam adventure I have experienced this year. I love how your family enjoys doing things together, and being on a vessel sailing to different parts of the world is better than any education you could find at any school. God Speed Zatara and Family.
keep looking :-)
Agreed! And same
Welcome aboard matey 🧜🧭⚓⛵🥥
Start from the beginning;-) greetz follower from day 1
If you like Zatar as I do, look up Sailing With Six! They are an awesome family from Australia or New Zealand sailing around the world as well. the kids are younger. Bella just turned 12. Finn is 11, Archie and Pippin are 8 and 7 I believe. Their upload schedule is a bit more spaced out. Especially since they found out Finn has a medical issue. They are currently in Canada getting him treatment because they are from another Commonwealth Country of course. They are still posting about their trip to make it down the cost of Mexico where they purchased their catamaran after they sold their monohaul. They have actually met the Sailing Zatar crew. I am a Patreon and have asked them to post the footage. I'm not sure if they still will or not. But the family is amazing. The mum and dad are fantastic and the kiddos are about the best you could ask for at those ages. Bella is the typical Big sister but you can see how close they all are. Bella and dad are tight. Finn and Mom are tight. Of course Pippin is the baby of the family and Archie is a fireball of fun with his long shaggy hair. Like the Zatara crew, the Sailing with Six crew are getting an amazing education both on the boat with home school and then in the real world when they get to port plus learning the sailing.
Just a shout out to Renee, the glue that keeps her family together. Editing, cooking, encouraging all. The whole family works well together and I’m in awe of the braveness, hard work and great perspective about countries they’ve been seeing. Thank you Zatara.
Thank you Beverly 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching our show! ~Renee
I second that. Remarkable woman.
I third that! She is AMAZING! ❤
I fourth that… if that’s a thing😂 She truly has a gifted personality... the world would be a better place if more people were like her😍
Yes, Renee is an amazing woman, mother, friend... I'm inspired by her daily! She ,by actions alone create's change. With her positive out look an great sense of humor!! ✌🏼💗😊⛵
9:30 THANK YOU, for giving us an actual firsthand account of your experience sailing across Somalia 🇸🇴 while mainstream media outlets spew colonial propaganda talking points to this day. This is why I never liked generalizing people regardless if they’re from the West, East, North, or South parts of the world. One God, One Message, and One Humanity is my view of the world.
Much love and respect from Somalia 🇸🇴.
The information you get from this family shows why it is the OG of sailing channels. Great job guys and gals!
I wouldn't choose OG, rather, Moses
I'm sure someone has said so already but that was a bird we call a Hoopoe (pronounced who poo) ... Digs around in the ground with that long beak for insects and worms. Makes a truly beautiful sound that sounds exactly like it's name. Incredible that it got out that far on those little wings!
saw those in Kuwait, once we got the water sprinkler system back on at the base, and they sound just like their name,
Seen them first time in sharm this yr but never in the other 13 times in Egypt.
Had one in my garden in the south of France last year
Thanx for the info. I knew it wasn't a woodpecker, but have never before seen one of those.
Yes, we have Hoopoe's in the garden here in Johannesburg, South Africa.
For someone who is unable to travel for whatever reasons, these kind of videos truly are a blessing. Thanks for letting us in and working so hard to make the videos engaging and easy to watch.
I love that sailors understand that the world is a place with so many cultures and make efforts to respect the so many places they visit 🙏
The people who come to North America don’t respect the culture here.
@@jaredmayer3960 our baseball teams are mostly from the Dominican.
They like chewing tobacco, hot dogs and hamburgers just like the rest of us.
Most visitors from south America are Catholic and have Christian values
@@Bee-tj8gc let me clarify. If you come from a communist/religious fanatic society and carry these values to this land to spread that trash, refuse to learn English and claim to be a sovereign citizen and refuse to embrace the Canadian culture then there’s the lack of respect issue.
@@jaredmayer3960
1. You missed my point.
2. Communists are not a culture, it's a form of government
@@Bee-tj8gc communism is definitely a way of life for some. Doesn’t necessarily stop at government.
Born and raised in ADEN you are welcome anytime. I left ADEN for the US IN 1962. Wishing you great time and adventure. Please be safe in that part of the world. Bless you and the whole family.❤❤👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲🤲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Am so impressed with Finn's musical talent. He is aces on the guitar, keep it up kid.
Finally someone telling that the whole world is not that dangerous as news tell us:)) Thanks!
All of you are so highly skilled and you understand what it takes to do what you’re doing as a family. I am in awe of your family and your adventure. Love getting your videos. Thanks.
Man y’all can’t put these out fast enough! These videos are truly unique and unlike any other sailing videos. Great job y’all !
8:38 - the woodpecker's requesting, "Hey, how'bout a chorus of 'Wooden Ships'...? I'm starvin' out here!"
Living on a farm in the middle of nowhere in Iowa is very peaceful but with channels like this I get to live vicariously through this family. Different adventures with different lives it's always cool to experience.
6:00
Imagine woodpecker starts to have a go at the boat's hull.
I met the two of y’all at the mall in Djibouti. Awesome videos and love y’all’s story. If y’all stop back in Djibouti or in corpus let me know. Safe travels!
Random one. The bird at 6:20 isn't a woodpecker. It's called a Hoopoe. They're common in Africa. They look very similar to a woodpecker.
man finn plays that guitar BEAUTIFULLY. keith last minute decisions usually means he feels something that’s says to go now. i can tell he is a man of great intuition.
Can't wait to see what y'all think of Egypt. I'm Egyptian but live in Texas. At least y'all will be there during the winter. Safe travels
According to Sonny from the food show its not pleasant to travel there i hope the Z family change that
Hi there Zatara crew, my name is Yoel and I live in Israel, I have been following your channel since 2019, thanks to you guys I decided to go through and get my skipper license (in progress), hoping one day ill be able to take my family through this amazing journey, we all would love to meet you guys, so let me know if you guys are staying in Israel on this Red Sea crossing, cheers and stay safe the Lev’s❤
Consistently a fabulous sailing/travel channel. Telling it the way it is. Best wishes!
So odd how this channel has become my “tv show”. Lol. I’m hooked.
Love you people! That bird is a Wood Hoepoe, not a woodpecker even though it looks like what a wood pecker in the cartoons look like, it's not a wood pecker. Recently moved to Texas from South Africa. Different world. Hope to be sailing at some point soon. Be safe!! Love you'all!!
What an awesome job telling the story of your family adventures … well done. Love that you’re doing this as a family and sharing it with the world … we all need GOOD stories of GOOD FAMILIES!
We have a Nordhavn 60 and are currently on west coast of Canada … after taking her to Sea of Cortez after commissioning.
Fun fishing hint … my wife saw this on Pinterest (every great idea comes from that site).
We keep a small squirt bottle filled with cheap alcohol (vodka works well) on our swim grid. Big fish comes in … we squirt a small amount into the gills … and they instantly become docile for about 2 minutes while we decide whether it’s dinner or back to the deep blue.
Take care, keep the cameras rolling and bless you guys as you travel this amazing world.
Oklahoma Gal here again!! Love You all !! It’s my dream to see the blue waters!! My bucket list!! Biggest!! Your family is absolutely precious!! Your my kind of people!! If you ever decide to do a older people trip. It would be the dream of my life !! 60 years young and love to have fun and know how to work hard at anything I do!! 😁❤️. Here’s a Recipe Renee!! It’s called “TEXAS HASH “ You brown hamb meat…. Set aside fixed fried potatoes with cut up green onion or whatever onion! Then when almost done you just mix together and you have TEXAS HASH Keep doing what makes your hearts smile!
Excellent as usual. So we’ll done. Thank you so much Ms. Renee. You are very much appreciated for the contribution made to your channel.
Happy to see you guys are still chugging along! Love your vids! You guys make me feel so good! Thanks! 🤘
You have a wonderful family. Keep being an inspiration to us all. Need more people like you guys in this world :)
Every bit of the vlog is entertaining and informative...i love how Renee narrates everything...keep them coming..🤩
Well done guys, glad it’s been a safe journey with little issues. Nice fix on the leak. Look forward to this winter and your travels.
Another great episode. I loved seeing the kids diving off the boat in the middle of the ocean. Those are the kinds of things I'm looking forward to when we finally get our boat - hopefully in a few months!
Thanks for watching expect more games soon message✉️ me for your reward as you have been selected among our shortlisted winner's 🎁🎁🎁🎉🎉.❤️
Congrat's guys!!! Awesome voyage so far with this Africa trip....
Great Video as all ways.
Just a correction. The bird you mentioned is called a African Hoopoe (Upupa Africana). One would think that they are part of the Woodpecker family, but they are not.
Their bill's are way to thin to peck wood.
Thanks for all the amazing videos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It also happens to be the Israeli National Bird.
@@ylevite As it's a migrating bird we have a couple of them in our garden each summer, in France.
Filled up our USN Oiler in Djibouti....in 94 ish. We came in, tied up to a pier, fueled, and left. We got dispensation to walk to the land on the fuel pier walkway and fill up a vial of ground to keep. We were threatened by two young men...then they noticed we had side arms, lol.
Watching on and off for a few years. Kids have nearly grown up now. I wonder what interesting futures they have planned now this adventure must have reshaped completely their outlook?

I’ve waited so long for the great guitar work on the top deck, thank you, it just goes so well with a cruising channel. My vote is for some more in the future.
I agree!! I love it when the boys play!! Cheers from a Canadian in Cayman Islands!!
Really surprised how good the fruit and veges looked in that supermarket despite that the streets looked like something out of a war movie. Fun times. Living vicariously through you.
For a week I’ve been dreading this day…I have one more episode to watch and I will be caught up to date. 😩 No more daily fix of Z-Time. I don’t know if I can bear it…waiting for a week to get 30 minutes of pleasure! 🙀🤣😂❤️

Happy you have made it through hard part. Time to get get the scuba equipment ready. I hear the diving off of Egypt and Jordan are the best in the world.
I can’t believe you all didn’t show any of the many natural wonders of Socotra! There are plants and landscapes on that island that are other worldly and unlike anything else on earth.
You guys are beasts !! Truly great people , great minds!!
Great to see some parts of the Red Sea!
Wow WOW WOW such a journey and here you sure are getting really interesting! Amazing to see this part of the world through your eyes!! Thank You! ❤️❤️❤️Stay safe Zatara!
One of the best channels I have come across on TH-cam! Thank you for documenting your families travels for us to enjoy. God Bless
8:10
Should’ve provided a few minutes of the swim. Water appeared extra clear.
Oh I hope you guys tour the pyramids and the aswan quarry and all the other amazing sights! Definitely WORTH IT.
this is my new favorte sailing channel... i feel so refreshed after watching amazing human beings doing great things.
Your vids always put a smile on my face. I love your family and thanks for sharing your journey. Safe travels.
Watch out for the tiger sharks...they tend to follow a boat..we found them when we went below to clean the hull once...when we were becalmed....
Absolutely my fav U Tube channel, addicted and I’m 61 years young,
Thanks for watching expect more games soon message✉️ me for your reward as you have been selected among our shortlisted winner's 🎁🎁🎁🎉🎉..
Hey guys I've been patiently waiting for your videos actually missed you guys LOL. Happy so far for the safe passage can't wait to see the new places you are visiting I'm sure the videos are gonna be awesome
Shame the crew didn't go to Port Sudan ... some of the best coral reef diving in the world in that area.
Such a beautiful experience for a wonderfully bonded family. Stay safe. God Bless you
This part of your journey is really interesting. Traveling to these areas is not your typical vacation spot. I guess when you’ve done it all, there’s always more to do! I’ll be watching.
Thanks for watching expect more games soon message✉️ me for your reward as you have been selected among our shortlisted winner's 🎁🎁🎁🎉🎉.❤️

Coming back to watch the vids since had my heart attack and clinically died on may 2022

Love from Malaysia

I've been following you since you left on your journey years ago. Thanks for sharing your life and adventures!
Hello Folks, I just found your TH-cam sight and I feel you folks are an inspiration to a lot of people, I know I am. I`m sure it`s not easy at times but what a payoff. I will continue following your channel for more exciting journey. All the Best
I'm so glad you guys are safe. I have been truly worried about you guys. I hope my brother Keith is staying safe. Old dads have to stand together! God bless!
Ahoy Zatara! How's the fishing been? Haven't seen you guys land anything for a LONG time. For some reason I enjoy it when you get a fish on your line...and I'm not even a fishing type of guy.
Nice adventure in this week's upload. I always learn stuff about the different places you stop and travel though.
Another great episode. Can't wait until you pick up the extra crew members!
Remain safe! Enjoy the adventure! See ya next week!
My brothers and I served full careers in the USAF. My younger brother deployed to Djibouti--a U.S. ally countless times during his career. He was at the Khobar Towers in 1996 two weeks before the attack that destroyed the barracks. It was a miracle. I ended up serving in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean. The oldest brother served since Vietnam in highly classified locations.

Burqas are made of lightweight breathable linen fabric to help protect the womens skin from the hot searing sun. Try not to insult their culture and customs.
Absolutely love your sailing adventure videos.
Love the Cuban Yoyo trolling off the stern!
Not a woodpecker, but a gorgeous Hoopoe. Such a special visitor!
I look forward to these videos every Thursday. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Best subscription on TH-cam.
Another great video! When you finish your circum-navigation in the Med, I hope you write a book about your incredible experiences!
Wow. Sending love from Serbia 🇷🇸. Your channel is so inspiring and makes me smile every time I watch it ❤️
These videos are the highlight of my week!
I love yalls channel! Would really love if yall did catch and cook videos and alot more fishing videos! Seeing what all different kinds and sizes of the fish yall catch out so far and so many different places would be amazing to watch! Or yall should start a deep water fishing channel
How incredible ! You had a houpo visit your boat ! Amazing ! These birds migrate long distances ... and they are just amazing :)
I’m totally obsessed with this. What a beautiful life.
4:47
The measures graphic is appreciated.
If you could add an acronym legend to it as well, that would be super. Thanks.
Another great video.
Thx guy’s.
I have been through the Red Sea twice in the army and all I remember was how hot it was and how the sand dunes came down to the water. That wood pecker was lost for sure.
I lived in Jeddah for three years. You’re going to be in for a great and pleasant surprise there! Aside from everything being in Arabic, you might be fooled into thinking you’re in Florida. Well, almost❤
thank you for sharing your voyage - be safe and be blessed
Keep on trucking y’all!
so much beautiful footage here!
that serenade over the sunset was amazing!!!
Been enjoying your videos for a long time now and your voyage to Yemen is a questionable in my mind, but you guys been at this longer and know what you are doing and make smart decisions based on your research which is proven soundly so far. Fair weather and safe travels to you all
Awesome video Zatara family!
Another great video! Thank you!
Great job guys, very different type of passage and challenging for those reasons... Well done and thanks for taking us along, Godbless all 🤗🤗
The amount of adventures and sheer distance covered is amazing 👏

What an adventure! Good for all of you - very interesting!!!
Can you discuss fuel costs in the Middle East in your next episode. Has it gotten less expensive? And where in your worldwide sailing travels has fuel been the highest/lowest etc. Thanks for sharing your family adventure!
Thanks for another awesome video.
So glad my fellow Montana people are safe on their journeys. Always looking forward to the next video. Your boys are like mine with those guitars. They seem to really have a handle on them.
with all their commodification and have never been of service to the country that provides them the passports they flaunt around the world and enjoy..in the military ive been all around that area..including being shot at...these twits..nothing
Renee is amazing very thoughtful and kind. I enjoy your channel
You guys got me to subscribe…and I’m not easy to persuade great job guys…🤙🏻🇺🇸

Very impressive. First youtuber boat I watch going through the red sea....I would need to see more do it but definitively good to know somebody is going that way !

Thank you 🙏🏼 and welcome to the show!
