I live in Europe and here you can get a category B Skipper license at 16 years of age and a driver's licence at 18 at the earliest, so I also had my skipper licence before my driving licence
Hey, I'm that retired sailor that wrote to you before. Well, Congratulations CAPTAIN JACK. Looking forward to seeing you on the water!!! Fair Winds, Smooth Sailing...and following seas.
That was so nice to get some closure on your amazing family adventure by visiting the home you sold to start it all. When Kate was driving, you couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. Good stuff kiddoes. Look forward to the Tonga adventures Capt Jack.
You and your whole family have a wonderful and contagious joy for life. You’re on a great journey full of twists and unexpected turns. Thanks for taking us all along!!
Congratulations Captain Jack! Please take care of beautiful McKenzie! Wow, she is a doll! And I love how you look at each other. Can’t wait to hear more about your relationship!
One of the many reasons we love you is that you talk about your failures (driving test) as well as your successes (getting your captains license). You are a real and honest guy; a rare and admirable quality. Cheers to you and your whole, and extended Med crew, family.
Congrats Captain! Now that you and Kate are soon heading off one direction, Finn in another, and Mom n Pops in yet another, hopefully we’ll have triple the entertainment here on TH-cam. Can’t wait to see where life takes each of you. Honestly I’m gonna miss the boat adventures with most of the family together, but you “kids” can’t stay with the parents forever, even if they’d love it. Just never lose your family connection no matter the distance, you’ve only got one blood family in this lifetime, make it count and enjoy the journey!
A very deep comment made to me when I passed my coaching course ''You've just got a piece of paper but now you really need to learn 'how' to coach''. It is something no classroom can teach. But well done Captain Jack.
Congratulations Captain! Yes, everyone has the same reaction when they return to childhood digs, it all seems so much smaller than we imagined...weird but it just happens. It also brings back lots of memories of being a kid, back when things were so much simpler. Looking forward to seeing the adventures you & your siblings are heading for. Kate driving...now that's terrifying!
Congratulations on getting your Captain course completed. Never a doubt in my mind. You leanered a lot in the years that you all went round and round the world. Looking forward to your next video, which are getting better and better.
Jack you are going to do great! These classes and tests are but a mere formality to the knowledge and experience that you have. Take your time on your priorities, we will be here when you get back to the videos, and as grateful as I am to watch you and your families videos, I know that this obstacle is a mandatory next step in your life journey!! Get it done my friend!!
CAPTAIN Jack….. 🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 awesome video, thank you so much for showing us the old neighborhood that was great. All the best to you and all of you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Congratulations Jack ,can’t even imagine how proud your mom , dad & siblings are of your accomplishments. I’m a grandmother of 8 & I’am as well. 🎉😊 good luck & will continue to watch you episodes as well .
Congratulations Captain Jack. Your vids are so interesting and many of us live vicariously through you with your worldly experiences. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the Tonga adventures.
i've been following you and your family for almost two years now. and it's really strange to see you guys on land even for me - i can not imagine how different you would feel - but i'm really excited to be a part of the new chapter of your life throughout the videos. i wish the best for you
Kinda crazy to see these kids grow up and go become adults on us. Congrats Captain Jack! You seem like a very genuine person and wish nothing but success and happiness from you.
👏👍🏼👏👏 when I got my captains license years ago, you brought back memories of those darn 😊 flip cards, that was very stressful times ! Out of about 100, only 12 passed.
Huge props, Jack on the 100 ton license ! I grew up on boats and had many friends that got their 100 ton. I never did because I was focused more on other things, but 2 of my friends went on to captain sportfishing boats in Cairns, Aus fishing for 1,000 lb. Back Marlin. That Certification will be a giant benefit to you as you travel. I am looking forward to your time in Tonga. I have been there while crossing (a part) of the Pacific on a sailboat 25+ years ago and really loved the place (I was in Vavau mostly). Love your vlogs - best wishes for continued success !
Congratulations captain Jack !!! I’m proud of you ! Driving for the first time at 16 is definitely a sign of being raised on a boat ! I hope you kids really understand how fortunate you are to have the parents you have, don’t waste what you’ve been blessed with !
Congratulations Captain Jack! It wasn't long ago that you were so unsure of what you wanted to do. So glad you found your next step and you seem excited about it. I started reading The Twelve Rules of Life based on your recommendation. Good book so far.
Good onya Captain Jack! 🏴☠️well your almost there buddy, great to see the family ventured back to your old roots, it does seem change when you head back home, don’t things change. Thank you for allow us to be part of your adventures 🇺🇸🙏😇👍⛵️
Congratulations Captain Jack! I'm very so happy for you. I would have no fear with you, on the road or on the sea. You are a great Captain. We love you, dude!
So different to see your content on land and not of the ocean of some sort, Amazing how may view already as well for just posting this just today SUNDAY!!! Shows all the love for you Jack. Safe travels my friend,
You all are awesome, it's bittersweet. I loved watching the whole family every week but I know both you and Finn are going to do great. Kate is going to be amazing with you!
Congratulations Jack. We are a family from great falls Montana. And can't wait to watch your next chapter of life begin.heck yas😉happy safe travels. Your parents must be so proud. So awesome
Congratulations Captain Jack! So proud of you. So much is changing for you all at once. Lots to process. Definitely look forward to the next video. I can’t believe you put out as much as you did taking the test and everything that was a lot. I’m glad you got to meet up with the med crew. Was it glory that came at the very end I couldn’t see. Sending love from LIZ in California.⛵️😎🤟🏻💜🐬☘️🇺🇸
Thank you very much Jack for taking us on your journey. You’re awesome you’re going to do extremely well be yourself love God more than anything and have faith. Much aloha from Hawaii Jan Michaels. 😉👍
Interesting that you got your captain’s license BEFORE your drivers license. That’s backwards for anyone else, but very appropriate for someone who has circumnavigated the world at such an early age. Congrats, Jack!
Oh man, Renee and Keith have just got to be losing it over all three kids leaving at the same time! I always thought that Finn would leave first with his Wanderlust and wanting to drive his van and then I thought oh Jack will stay on the boat for a few more years, then he'll leave and eventually Kate will leave. Bottom line: my heart really goes out to these parents because I know they're crazy about their kids and empty nest syndrome won't even begin to describe what these two are going to go through. I really wonder what the future holds for K and R because they obviously can't handle that big boat just the two of them. So it'll be really interesting to see if they bring back Luke and Glory or some other young kids who want to seil who will provide crew and social interaction etc. Congratulations on your captain's certification Jack and thanks for a great video!
So happy for you. What you kids have learned in the past 5 or 10 years will carry you a lifetime. And you'll keep learning. Now how about keeping two hands on the wheel.
Bravo capitaine Jack for your licence. I wish you a lot of sailing adventure and i know you are going to be a damn good one. At start i was kind of sad to know that the family adventure was ending, but then i started to follow each of you kid's video with your own new things and i was hook again. My time sailing is way behind me now, but i'm buying a big RV to motor around, and guess what, i'm leaving Montréal next june for Montana, Wyoming, Utah and then to stay for the winter in Arizona. I'm going to keep following you guys on youtube...Capitaine Jack, bon vent...French sailor goodbye.😁😁😁
Good work captain Jack. Looks like you got this down pat. Can’t wait to see you running your own boat one day. Keep the videos coming. You do go work. Til next time. Thanks
Captain Jack - so you did it. Congratulations. You have so many skills in sailing but you need to have the licence so that you are allowed to. nice that you spent your time with your family to visit your old hood. enjoy it. have a good time!
Nicely done mate. Good editing and good content. I am a carryover fan of the main channel, and this is great how it ties in! Keep up the good work, also Congrats.
Congratulations Captain Jack! No need to apologize for time between videos, you have even very busy. Don’t worry about being a little rusty on driving, it will come as fast and you will have your license! It is always strange and different Togo ack and see your old neighborhood after being gone for a period of time, things do change. It is great that you all are going to get your driver’s license and you have already gotten your Captain’s license and starting on your career! It must be a bit of a shock on your parents that their kids are grown up now! Looking forward to your next video! Congratulations again Captain Jack!
YA BUT IM MAD AT YOU ...but CONGRATULATIONS SERIOUSLY JACK.. hard work and all the years of sailing help thank you Mr FATHER.. I Mean Kieth well Mr Captain Jack Sparrrrrroooowwww your plan is set in motion remember TAKE CARE OF KATE DONT LET HER OUT YOUR SITE make sure she is safe at all times PLEASE I know you have a lot of trust in people and thats ok BUT BE VERY CAREFUL and good luck to the both of you and take GLORY WITH YOU so she can be with Kate. and hopefully mom and dad show up
Congratulations captain Jack Swallow!
Ahhh... I knew this comment was coming...
@@jackwhitakerr LOL!
Jack and Finn posting on the same day!! Congratulations Captain Jack!
Good job
and that’s all you can think to say. How about “what a great video”
@@landahoy5217 haven’t had the time to watch it yet, but I wanted to leave a comment congratulating him and was just excited
The wifi was turned on today
A Captains license before a Drivers license, respect 🤙🤙
That is more common than you might think.
Always at sea, so there is no time to take a driving license.
Plus, most (many) sailors are drunkards 😝
I live in Europe and here you can get a category B Skipper license at 16 years of age and a driver's licence at 18 at the earliest, so I also had my skipper licence before my driving licence
As a teacher I have observed that Keith is such a natural teacher. Teaching someone WHY will make it stick far better than rote memorization.
Hey, I'm that retired sailor that wrote to you before. Well, Congratulations CAPTAIN JACK. Looking forward to seeing you on the water!!! Fair Winds, Smooth Sailing...and following seas.

Very enjoyable Jack! I loved hearing you guys reminisce about your childhood home.
Cap'n Jack.....has a nice ring to it. Congratulations Skipper.
Wishing you fair winds and calm seas. Godspeed.💙🙏⚓
Congrats!! It has been a blast and motivating to watch you and your families journey over the years. Hard to believe it has been years.

Thank you Jack for sharing your journey. You and your family inspire so many people. I’m very grateful to be able to follow your adventures ❤
I just so love this family. Been watching Zatara from you guys were inches high. Will be watching you all until you stop filming. Great watch.
Bloody great seeing you on your new Adventure Jack.
