I have been with you every episode from the monohull beginning. Thanks to Zatara - I have sailed around the world - and know much more about sailing than I have a right to know. Keith is my favorite superhero. The dude has brains and money - and a kiss my grits attitude - and has the ability to tear up when tearing up is the best way of saying "I love You" to his family. I'm looking forward to this next chapter. (By the way - Keith has inspired me into a weight loss phase as well - and I will measure my loss against his - and try and keep up during the coming months.)
Anytime I'm laying in bed and a huge party is happening nearby, rather than be frustrated by the noise, I try to celebrate that friends and family are connecting and that makes me smile.
Mr. Random, Thx for that incite we been going through a few long time biker friends passing, Sharon's car tire blowout need all new ones, my truck window came off the track, and maverick pooped in the hall.. all's good ♪ turn up the ♪ music B thankful we made it this far..
I’m 62 years young and I absolutely love Finn’s channel!! You all are amazing parents and have raised your kids right so everyone of them will do wonderful in life no matter what they do!! Love the ZATARA family!! So nice seeing you 2 keep going and doing what you love! God bless from Oklahoma!
Congratulations Keith and Renee! YOU DID IT!! The kids were raised to be productive adults, and the home was back in the water. You are never without family, remember kids will come home repeatedly, and your online family is with you wherever you go! You have new adventures and an exciting life ahead of you now. New memories, new people to meet, and places to go. This is a big world, as you know, there are still plenty of places to visit.
You’re silly Renee, of course we’ll keep watching !!!! Yes we miss the kids but personally, I think they’ll be back for bits of time ! Happy everything went well and your back on the water…..looking forward to this next season of life ! Blessings
Renee you and your husband are the best example of parents i have ever witnessed in my lifetime .Believe me I know how much effort it takes,we’ll done you , you should be very proud.And thanks for taking us along
I can tell that you both have spent your life in service to your kids and I can imagine how difficult it must be to feel that shift as they become independent. Their transition to independence is a testament to the great job you and Keith did. The good news is, hopefully you will soon have grandkids that will repurpose that service at some point. I do not agree with you and Keith on all things (such as some political things) but I have never related more to two people in so many ways. I hope to be half the parent and mentor to my children that you two are someday (and I'm already a parent, just need to get better at it). Thank you for continuing to show us your journey. I learn a lot of small life lessons from the wisdom you and Keith provide.
My Dad told me that if two people always agree on everything then one of them is not thinking. Just think where we would be if we all agreed all the time. Progress would slow to a very slow crawl if at all. Keep in mind by Dad was born over 100 years ago. It holds true today.
You seem like a very humble person. I agree, my preference was to not get into anything political. This channel has been a refreshing break from all that political loud noise going on, globally.
I'm a 70 years young grandma and I've been watching since the beginning, with all the kids aboard... been a empty nester myself, although now I've been taking care of my Mami for the past 10 years. Promise I will continue watching every week!!! BTW, I am and I live in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico
However his wisdom on proper diet and exercise is lacking. You ever notice you don't see many old fat people? They all die prematurely for their lack of proper diet and exercise. I like Keith because he is a very smart man and has great DIY skills but I would really like him to show us all how smart he is by taking back his health from a crappy diet and lack of exercise that has obviously destroyed is body.
@@dianegriffith3006 that was over a year ago. You act like I just started watching this channel. It's hard to get proper exercise sitting on a boat stuffing your face with junk food. Keith needs the Keto diet and learn to fast regularly for boat life if he is not going to get any exercise. Will power is the issue we all battle with. He needs to motivate soon before he dies from obesity. Which is the #1 killer in the world today.
Renee & Keith, I have been watching you guys since the start. I was the desk sergeant at my police department when you guys started your journey and now I’m retired and I have continued to watch you guys every week. I have always said that Keith is my “spirit animal”. I tend do the same things around my house that Keith does around the boat. I love having my daughter and son-in-law and the grand kids living with me and the wife. Look forward to hearing how the kids are doing from time to time. God bless y’all. See you next week!
Keith is amazing with all the mechanics on the boat. ⛵️ I totally understand why you sealed the escape hatches after watching the Wynns epic fail when the escape hatch flew off.
@NJ-cathie: I'm sure y'all are right but it still worries me. Like tempting fate. You'll never need it unless you don't have it. Ive never sailed but I've seen this principle at work often during my 50ish short years. I'm "with" Keith though about somethings you just have to accept . He's right about that. But I'd still want two backup chutes if I ever skydived.
@@azul29156 I would just strap the safety raft to the back of the captains chair. I would be worried about a fire in the engine compartment more than anything. A good fire suppression system could easily alleviate that fear. I don’t know what a boat has but it would be a worthwhile investment.
I have to say, tears came when I saw you and Keith on the water. I miss the kids so much, I can only imagine how you both must be feeling. Can’t wait to see the adjustments that has to be made without them. Love you both, be safe and count on your boat families on the water. 🙏🏻💕🇺🇸
so lets see... 8 years ago, I joined you for no reason, other than I was bored being a stay at home dad, and blown away that anyone would actually grab life by the horns and wrestle it to the ground like this. My son was one year old.. Since then, our family has gone through job changes, babies starting school, going through middle school and entering high school, a pandemic, a traumatic brain injury where I almost lost my life, and three presidents. YOU, have been my comfort. My cup o coffee every thursday. I've been a voyeur as you have weened four beautiful kids on the water. I've watched through broken bones, and cancer threats. I've watched as you learned, and lived through my own lessons.. and here we are. Life by many is assumed. Many don't realize that the only bummer about life is no one knows how much time they have, and they spend it like it's only worth its weight in gold. Im so happy to have been here as you grew this, and I look forward to the empty nesters doing new and amazing stuff. R.C.
Team Z........Always loved your Montana home, it is so beautiful there ! Fantastic to see you back on the water again. Oh ! one more thing Renee n Kieth ....you are not alone, always bear in mind and consider your 611K subscribers & growing are always with you and look forward every Thursday to the vlog. FAIR WINDS !
Keith needs to do something about that or he's going to have a heart attack but he already knows that. I used to be close to that big and its very very bad for you in multiple of ways.
With everyone off Zatara, it opens opportunities for friends and patrons to join you for extended periods so that boat doesn’t feel so big and gives you additional watch hands for overnight & long passages. It must be very satisfying to know that Zatara is in great condition to take on new adventures.
Great work on the boat. Your Montana base is great too. I have family (Mother's side) that migrated to Montana and Alaska. My cousin is a retired Green Beret that still resides up in Montana. My mom's brother Steve left Northern MN and her brother George both went West. I cannot tell you how we sailed those lakes in Northern MN when I was a kid. So, now, watching you and your family, living the dream. Great channel
Hi there Zatara, it’s rare that Cats flip over as Keith mentioned, thankfully you dodged a bullet with Cyclone Beryl. A Yacht named Fair Isle ( Y.T.) went in to caracou and filmed the cyclone damage of the aftermath. Many of those boats thought they’d be safe up in the mangroves, not this time. The yacht Fair isle made a spontaneous decision to leave Grenada before the cyclone hit, best decision he made. It is worth watching just to give you an idea of the reach of that storm. The couple that live on the boat are Ex BBC film journalists.
Welcome home, Keith and Renee. You've completed your parental duties and raised wonderful, productive adults who are not off to make their mark on the world. Now it's time for you two. Time to sail around the world with each other, enjoy each other for the fine work accomplished with your children and enjoy retirement. I can't wait to enjoy sharing what you guys share with us viewers. Thanks for posting this video.
My friends Renée and Keith. I'm so happy to see you both back at the boat. I just thrilled with Montana and you can take me there again, but we're back on the hard with the Zee Team. I'm loving the tech round up and Cap'n Keith doing his amazing stuff, with the Ace Camerawoman giving us the hi-def eye full. Keep it up Zatara and Godspeed. I love you.❤❤❤😂
I happened to watch a video of yours 4 years ago, and then I watched it now 4 years later! I am impressed by your persistence in the passing of time! Blessings from China to you!
Last 8 yrs I have enjoyed the adventures every week. Watch the kids grow and move on!! Now I'm looking forward to your adventures!!! All the best, smooth sailing!
This was episode 1 of the empty nest, as it was clearly a hard video for Renee to make. Keith looks thrilled to be at the helm, fiddling with fixing stuff…Things will fall into a routine again. Renee’s promotion to “1st mate” could be a new challenge for the marriage. Through all the years of videos there’s been Keith and the boat and Renee who has yet been “hands on”, except taking the watch. Does Renee know how to set the sails? During passage I’m sure picking up a hand or two shouldn’t hard. My prayers to all your family. I know all of them are doing well. I wish Jack and Kate would post. Life has been giving them a rough time losing a friend, now an earthquake… i know you’ll be happy when they come back in a few months. Keep posting… we’re watching :)
Hi, I'm so glad you're back on board. Now the kids have 'flown the nest' your adventures will be even more memorable. I've followed you since the children were very young so looking forward to participating once again, My best, David
I found your channel during the pandemic and i'm not going anywhere! Thank you for hours of fun with your family during your adventures. You two are such a good team to watch and i will follow Finn and any of the other kids that want me to! Love to you all!
Always a very nice escape to visit with yall on Thursday mornings.....Thank you for sharing....I've been with you since the beginning of your adventures.
I think this episode is the beginning of a new chapter,, thank you for updates on the children. And so the new chapter begins. See you out on the water❤
Welcome to the Empty-nesters Sailing Club! We sailed last Season mostly alone and had a blast. We did also love the weeks with friends and relatives but learned a lot sailing with just the two of us.
of course I will still watch and enjoy your show. Your kids are great too and I have enjoyed watching their channels. This is a wonderful time for you both, to have a new type of adventure, you will still have plenty of time with your kids albeit not daily. I am about 6 years ahead of you in empty nesting. It is a hard transition but like you two it has been a wonderful time to be a part of me watching my kids be involved in life itself, independently. Such a blessing!! Grieve and also enjoy this time. Life gives us seasons, new seasons can really be fun!
Empty nest years are an adventure too and you will find plenty to keep your fans entertained and coming back. My husband and I are having the time of our lives! You will too!
New intro...I cried...just a bit. No one will stop watching...we love you guys. Oh and your reference to the Wynns losing their life raft and that hatch coming undone, was a super scary episode...I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. So glad they made it to their destination unscathed. They also sealed theirs in. When Keith works on stuff...pay attention...ask questions, you never know if it will be something at some time you will need to do. Stay safe!
Looking forward to following you guys again on your new journey's just the both of you, I have followed you both since you boat that single hull in FL watching you lay the sails out on the grass etc..think you new journeys now will still be awesome
Cap you ar emy inspiration for seeing the show, and your wife is the perfect companion, she is thoughtful and very supportive of you. I love you guys and will keep seeing you for sure. I haven't finished watching this episode... so wirte you later guys
Aloha Mates, of course, I will continue to watch. Always forward. As many say, the Zatara's Crew is righteous and the parents Renee and Keith are Smooth...
When cleaning mold from surfaces, use vinegar. It effectively kills the fungi and prevents spores from becoming airborne and potentially affecting your lungs.
Woohoo! A new adventure begins! The episode ended so quick…I wanted to go shopping with you. 🤣. So looking forward to next Thursday. Love from So. California 🥰❤️
Renae you had me rolling explaining how Keith gets you to help him that he doesn't give good instructions tighten that pull that white thing I swear you guys are my husband and I alto we go to bed at 8:00 but I can't wait tell you guys get in the water I just love any kind of videos you put out and thanks for the updates on the kids
Hooray!!! You are really back, alone, but back. Kate & Jack must be really busy, since I haven't seen a video since the one when they got there. Finn looks like he is really enjoying his van life. Can't wait until next week. You and Keith will do just fine. Happy sailing.
It shows how you have dedicated so much to raising your kids. Now it’s time to enjoy some time with each other and you time! Loooonnnggg time subscriber!
I really appreciate your videos. I'd LOVE to live on the ocean blue, however currently, it's just not an option due to health issues with a family member and as such, may never be able to do something as adventuress as this. As such, I live vicariously through your videos. We live in SE Idaho. I suppose we're probably about four or five hours from where ever you guys are in Montana, so that's pretty cool. I've watched all of your videos and have really appreciated watching your family grow up over the last eight years. So, thank you for sharing your time with me. You guys are amazing (as far as I can tell through this tiny lens you provide on the tubes). Keith is the man. Good job dude! As a father myself, I appreciate how you do all the things. You guys are the best. Please keep em coming. God bless! Now as empty nest yachtees, I'm curious what's next.
Cant believe the kids are gone! 8 yrs went by so fast. I hope you 2 will be safe out there by yourselves, I remember everyone taking turns on passages & all hands on deck a few times.
Not easy having and empty nest. Welcome back, I have been watching from the start of your channel, I am not going to lie, I miss your kids. But I love that you and Keith will have great adventures and get to remember what made you fall for each other in the first place. My husband and I have been empty nesters for about 8 years, did know if I was going to make it for the sadness, but I did, one came back for a bit and now we are alone again. WE travel and keep ourselves occupied with our pontoon boat!
been watching your videos for over a year, absolutely love you guys, we live in Montana as well, we went to Florida last winter to try our hand at sailing, and will be back at it this coming winter, we bought a macgregor 26 and it currently lives on a trailer in Georgia. Its a wonderful life yall live, hope to make it there one day.
Welcome back....I am looking forward to just you old folks sailing I really enjoyed the kids but a new chapter awaits you and I will happily live my dream through you .....
Renee, you’re the younger version of me. And watching you and Keith reminds me of my dreams of escaping society. Love living vicariously through you , another fellow Texan.
Well the new chapter has begun, and off with smooth sails and prayersfor gentle following seas. My the wind take you to where you please 🙏 safe travels and I for one look forward to watching your journey as long as you will have us. Keith, I have full faith that your health and weight-loss journey will be another fantastic change for the better to add to your journey 🎉 keep up the tremendously great job!! Renee, your storytelling literally keeps me looking forward to starting my days with your channel ❤
renee, you're funny. you said, "...I'm not a boat person..." I just about spit my coffee out when you said that! You, Ms. Renee, are a sailor! A frigg'in great sailor! Don't kid yourself. Thanks for your videos.
She is finally back in the water again! 😀 It's going to be nice to follow your new adventures, even though it is just in the Caribbean. And yes Renee, that Sunreef 60 is absolutely stunning! My favorite cat at the moment.
Great video So nice to see you both back on the adventure and taking us along with you, Keep going you are an inspiration to all of us. Keep them coming please
Love the kids but You both have always been the stars of the show, can't get rid of us that easily!
Renee don’t be silly. Nobody’s gonna stop watching you are the heart and soul and the narrating voice we all love
Very true.
100% agree!
💯
Debatable. Videos are kinda depressing with all the focus on the kids leaving
@@e4peace So say all parents
I have been with you every episode from the monohull beginning. Thanks to Zatara - I have sailed around the world - and know much more about sailing than I have a right to know. Keith is my favorite superhero. The dude has brains and money - and a kiss my grits attitude - and has the ability to tear up when tearing up is the best way of saying "I love You" to his family. I'm looking forward to this next chapter. (By the way - Keith has inspired me into a weight loss phase as well - and I will measure my loss against his - and try and keep up during the coming months.)
I agree to joining keith on loosing weight.
Big facts Keith is the OG
Anytime I'm laying in bed and a huge party is happening nearby, rather than be frustrated by the noise, I try to celebrate that friends and family are connecting and that makes me smile.
I love the sound of people having fun. I often go out and sit on the veranda to hear the music and laughter better.
Same
what a great way of thinking, never thought about it like that
I’m always happy for those that are having fun and enjoying their music and laughter !
Reminds me of when did, and still do sometimes….
Mr. Random, Thx for that incite we been going through a few long time biker friends passing, Sharon's car tire blowout need all new ones, my truck window came off the track, and maverick pooped in the hall.. all's good ♪ turn up the ♪ music B thankful we made it this far..
I’m 62 years young and I absolutely love Finn’s channel!! You all are amazing parents and have raised your kids right so everyone of them will do wonderful in life no matter what they do!! Love the ZATARA family!! So nice seeing you 2 keep going and doing what you love! God bless from Oklahoma!
Don’t worry Renee and Keith. We love the show and tune in every week. Please don’t stop filming the show!!!
Congratulations Keith and Renee! YOU DID IT!! The kids were raised to be productive adults, and the home was back in the water.

Promise I will continue watching every week!!! BTW, I am and I live in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico
My mother's is 93 and lives with me. She is one amazing lady. Funny wize and so much more. Good for you on helping mami.
Came to watch about boat life, stayed because of Keith's wisdom. Will never stop watching!

I like Keith because he is a very smart man and has great DIY skills but I would really like him to show us all how smart he is by taking back his health from a crappy diet and lack of exercise that has obviously destroyed is body.

I'm glad you're back. I kinda wondered what you guys would be up to without the boat. Continuing sailing with just the two of you and I'm here for it.
Keith is NOT out of shape... ROUND is a shape..... Glad to hear everything and everyone is doing well.....
Keith needs to do something about that or he's going to have a heart attack but he already knows that. I used to be close to that big and its very very bad for you in multiple of ways.
So exciting!
Keith needs to have a big salad, with water at every meal. 😮
I just got over a virus and lost five pounds! I feel so much better, like younger! Hope I can loose another five pounds!
I'm sure if they take the first step and avoid fastfoods, sodas, etc. he will lose lots of weight just eating a little better.
With everyone off Zatara, it opens opportunities for friends and patrons to join you for extended periods so that boat doesn’t feel so big and gives you additional watch hands for overnight & long passages. It must be very satisfying to know that Zatara is in great condition to take on new adventures.
I would love to be friends with Renee & Keith. They are very down to earth people! I really enjoy watching their videos. These are amazing people!
I love the two of you grabbing the Bull by horns!! NOW the vids get very exciting! Have fun you two. Thanks for sharing.
Great work on the boat. Your Montana base is great too. I have family (Mother's side) that migrated to Montana and Alaska. My cousin is a retired Green Beret that still resides up in Montana. My mom's brother Steve left Northern MN and her brother George both went West. I cannot tell you how we sailed those lakes in Northern MN when I was a kid.

of course I will still watch and enjoy your show. Your kids are great too and I have enjoyed watching their channels. This is a wonderful time for you both, to have a new type of adventure, you will still have plenty of time with your kids albeit not daily. I am about 6 years ahead of you in empty nesting. It is a hard transition but like you two it has been a wonderful time to be a part of me watching my kids be involved in life itself, independently. Such a blessing!! Grieve and also enjoy this time. Life gives us seasons, new seasons can really be fun!
Keith looks in his element fixing things .very interesting viewing .
How exciting! Let the adventure begin! Now your focus will be on each other and exploring harbors together.
Empty nest years are an adventure too and you will find plenty to keep your fans entertained and coming back. My husband and I are having the time of our lives! You will too!
New intro...I cried...just a bit. No one will stop watching...we love you guys. Oh and your reference to the Wynns losing their life raft and that hatch coming undone, was a super scary episode...I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. So glad they made it to their destination unscathed. They also sealed theirs in. When Keith works on stuff...pay attention...ask questions, you never know if it will be something at some time you will need to do. Stay safe!
Good to see her with new rudders and back in the water! That boat will seem huge with just the two of you.
Looking forward to your new adventures. Have no intention of leaving. Thank you for always sharing with your extended family 💜
Nice, I have seen mirrors under the engines so you can see the bottoms.
Never stop watching. Followed from the very start of your journey 🙂
OF COURSE we will continue watching! Love all of your content!
Love all your videos, but water videos are the beat. Glad you are back on the boat.
Thanks!
so happy you guys are back on the boat!
Love the new opening! Being an empty nester I will love following your new adventures with just the two of you.
Looking forward to following you guys again on your new journey's just the both of you, I have followed you both since you boat that single hull in FL watching you lay the sails out on the grass etc..think you new journeys now will still be awesome
Back to the big blue! Zatara will be mucho happy!
Cap you ar emy inspiration for seeing the show, and your wife is the perfect companion, she is thoughtful and very supportive of you. I love you guys and will keep seeing you for sure. I haven't finished watching this episode... so wirte you later guys
Aloha Mates, of course, I will continue to watch. Always forward. As many say, the Zatara's Crew is righteous and the parents Renee and Keith are Smooth...
When cleaning mold from surfaces, use vinegar. It effectively kills the fungi and prevents spores from becoming airborne and potentially affecting your lungs.
I'm so excited for ya'll. Ya'll are headed for a great adventure. I will always be watching. Ya'll are the best!

Excited for the new adventure!
Renae you had me rolling explaining how Keith gets you to help him that he doesn't give good instructions tighten that pull that white thing I swear you guys are my husband and I alto we go to bed at 8:00 but I can't wait tell you guys get in the water I just love any kind of videos you put out and thanks for the updates on the kids
Keith and Renee are why I watch the channel! Carry on!
Can not wait to see what you 2 will be up to. Your video's are always my favorite! Thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us!!
I can't get enough of watching your amazing life on the water! It's like living the dream! 🌊🐟❤️
Maintenance completed and the sea awaits. Hope you enjoy lots of happy adventures!
Hooray!!! You are really back, alone, but back. Kate & Jack must be really busy, since I haven't seen a video since the one when they got there. Finn looks like he is really enjoying his van life. Can't wait until next week. You and Keith will do just fine. Happy sailing.
It shows how you have dedicated so much to raising your kids. Now it’s time to enjoy some time with each other and you time! Loooonnnggg time subscriber!
Happy travels. Good to see y’all back out there.
I really appreciate your videos. I'd LOVE to live on the ocean blue, however currently, it's just not an option due to health issues with a family member and as such, may never be able to do something as adventuress as this. As such, I live vicariously through your videos. We live in SE Idaho. I suppose we're probably about four or five hours from where ever you guys are in Montana, so that's pretty cool. I've watched all of your videos and have really appreciated watching your family grow up over the last eight years. So, thank you for sharing your time with me. You guys are amazing (as far as I can tell through this tiny lens you provide on the tubes). Keith is the man. Good job dude! As a father myself, I appreciate how you do all the things. You guys are the best. Please keep em coming. God bless! Now as empty nest yachtees, I'm curious what's next.
Cant believe the kids are gone! 8 yrs went by so fast. I hope you 2 will be safe out there by yourselves, I remember everyone taking turns on passages & all hands on deck a few times.
Not easy having and empty nest. Welcome back, I have been watching from the start of your channel, I am not going to lie, I miss your kids. But I love that you and Keith will have great adventures and get to remember what made you fall for each other in the first place. My husband and I have been empty nesters for about 8 years, did know if I was going to make it for the sadness, but I did, one came back for a bit and now we are alone again. WE travel and keep ourselves occupied with our pontoon boat!
been watching your videos for over a year, absolutely love you guys, we live in Montana as well, we went to Florida last winter to try our hand at sailing, and will be back at it this coming winter, we bought a macgregor 26 and it currently lives on a trailer in Georgia. Its a wonderful life yall live, hope to make it there one day.
So excited for your next new adventures Renee and Keith! I bet you are missing those great kids of yours so much. Sail safely!❤️
There you are - the two of you handling Zatara. Enjoy the journey!
Welcome back....I am looking forward to just you old folks sailing I really enjoyed the kids but a new chapter awaits you and I will happily live my dream through you .....
Renee, you’re the younger version of me. And watching you and Keith reminds me of my dreams of escaping society. Love living vicariously through you , another fellow Texan.
I love this Family and I love these 2. Keith is so funny…. Renee is awesome in the relationship and the videos are awesome ❤

Trippy intro to the show....We've been seeing you guys and the kids for so long....safe travels
renee, you're funny. you said, "...I'm not a boat person..." I just about spit my coffee out when you said that! You, Ms. Renee, are a sailor! A frigg'in great sailor! Don't kid yourself. Thanks for your videos.
She is finally back in the water again! 😀
It's going to be nice to follow your new adventures, even though it is just in the Caribbean.
And yes Renee, that Sunreef 60 is absolutely stunning!
My favorite cat at the moment.
