💩 OOOOOHHHHHH CRAP! Just realized we forgot to put the brand of Catamaran we’re on. 🤦🏼♂️ It’s a 2006 Alliaura Marine Privilege 585. If you want to know more about life on this cat, or the Z Crew, give us a shout in the comments. Thanks so much for being part of our adventures…and a HUGE shout-out to our Patreon’s, it’s your support that keeps these videos flowing 🙏🏻💘 www.patreon.com/the_wynns You can watch another boat tour on Zatara’s channel here: th-cam.com/video/YhNmK1Xf9RQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Guys... Jason the sound guy here.. You MUST run your audio through a EQ to remove the horrible low end rumble.. so many YTers neglect this because they mix and edit on headphones that can't reproduce these frequencies/// it has made this video hard to listen to until I sucked out the low end on my end.
@@JackMayer I have house speakers and run my sound through a home style amplifier.. std computer speakers won't reproduce the low end sound waves.. A sub woofer system might depending on the freq gates in the system.. . on my headphones I hear a slight rumble in the wind, but it isn't throbbing like it does on the big speakers..
@@MrJJSimonds Hi *Jason the Sound Guy!* There are many *Grammar Police* on You Tube who investigate the wrongdoings of poor sods who fail to follow correct grammatical practise. But never in my experience has there been a member of the *Audio Police* available to scrutinise the _errors audio,_ until you came along. Well Done! Can I make a special plea for us elderly members of the audience who are hard of hearing, that you focus strictly upon those TH-camrs who overload the audio channel with loud crappy music, which drowns out their whispery voices? Of course the Wynns don’t make such mistakes . . . it's the other TH-camrs just starting out that make this error. I will be eternally grateful if you and your crew could fix that . . . Thanks!
Their previous boat was a 50+ foot Beneteau monohull. At the time, they still had their other daughter sailing with them, so 4 kids total!!!! (they have a fifth, but she is older and hasn't been on the channel) They were miserable on that boat, so Keith decided to get a bigger boat and go multi hull. They are really happy with this boat.
Hello GWTW’s, I was the one that asked about the dinghy race that you spoke about in the last vid with the Z’s, It was great. I watched the OR,WA, & AK # 01 to 017. They were fantastic, makes me wish I would of taken the left fork in the road, not the Right. I’m 70 yo & can’t do much due to a bad foot- oh well. Thanks so very much for sharing, your vids are SO GOOD! Take Care, Joe
I love the Zatara family!! I love even more that they accept everyone, despite differences. Judging by this comment section, it's something A LOT of people could learn from.
So, Wynns, I have watched a few of your videos (which I like) and now I am totally blown away by this Z boat. I am going to show my age by this but, back in the 70's I lived on a 30 foot Tahiti Ketch (all wooden boat) for a while. We eventually sailed it to San Francisco. I can't think of a single thing on that boat that used electricity other than the starter for the Volvo Penta and the radio. Even the cabin and running lights were oil lamps. I also can't think of a day that I wished i was anywhere else. Living on the Privilege 585 looks exactly as you described, like a cruise ship. These guys are the one percenters of cruisers.
Nice people ! So many people like yourselves that are separated from their homes because of Covid 19 . I'm glad that you have this opportunity . I hope it all works out . Getting along and talking is the ticket.
It sounds odd to say but seeing these guys makes me nostalgic for the days when our own kids were still at home. They are grown and parents themselves now so that's great, but see these clever, well spoken teens, and Finn too is just wonderful. Just kidding Finn. lol That funny quick wit reminds me of my own boy at that age. Nice to see good folks open their home up to fellow travellers.
Finn is at that age where he's sharp with comments, sometimes he pushes the limits, but that's what 13 year-old's do. It reminds me of my younger brother at that age...extremely funny...most of the time 👏
Great video Nicky and Jason! We have good and sad news. My mother in law who I love dearly has started the downhill spiral and we are getting ready for life changing again. The good news is that eventually we will have the freedom to sail away on our boat and start the sail life we have yearned for after stumbling on your channel accidently a few years ago. Best of luck getting your boat in Tonga. Cheers from Ed and Melinda
@@gonewiththewynns we will keep our chins up. We also have no name for our boat yet. Our friends have not come up with any either. How did you choose or end up with Curiosity's name? Our girl is completely gutted now and we are starting to renovate her. She was an old gentleman's dream and he never got the chance to finish her. When we brought her home we blew 3 tires on the trailer but the most exciting day was waking up the next morning an seeing nothing but boat out the kitchen window. I am going to have most of the basic stuff done this winter and hopefully next summer we will be in business. My wife and I would love to meet up some time with you guys somewhere in the world and cook you supper (vegetarian of course). Ed and Melinda
So cool you got to meet up with the Z-Crew again. I am thinking it is making life a little more enjoyable since you can not get back to your own boat. So nice of the Z-Crew to welcome you aboard. Glad to see both families not letting this pandemic slow you down. Always look forward to both channels putting out great content.
Teen Tuesday video today on Sailing Zatara. Jack runs through the kite boarding gear. Maybe next episode he'll teach us all the "how-to's" of kite boarding! Jason, hope to see your dream come true and see you out kiting soon! Glad you are all able to be out on the beautiful blue and not landlocked inside a little apartment!
I love that the name of the boat is named after a character in my favorite book “the Count Of Monte Cristo” Zatara is the name the smugglers give to Edmund Dantes when he joins their crew. Zatara means Drift Wood in portuguese
Thanks for the fun fact! Cool to know. If you watch Sailing Zatara's earlier videos, they say they actually named it after the boat on the movie Captain Ron. But that's cool to know there's more connection in the name. Is there a way to tag Zatara in comments so they see this? I'm newer on here.
Totally thought yall were gonna board with us. I mean small distance, but also a family of 5 from Texas. We too met up with yall on that rainy Miami Boat show day. . I hear ya, wish yall could get home. Till then. Glad yall can enjoy time together. It was a little deja vu watching yall and Zatara. Love yalls tour and the perspective from yall. See you next Sunday! Chris, Jolene, Carter, Chase and Caleb.
I watch both of your channel an theirs... love you all! Makes my life stuck on the hard tolerable... thanks Wynn's for all you do...your a blessing to follow!!!
Great to see you both again, keep smiling, stay happy, keep spreading joy and good vibes as you always do. You guys are amazing, it broke my heart to see you get near tears on the last video. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. You guys are awesome! 😍
Some years ago I said what with all the new sailing channels we shouldn't be surprised when they show up on each other's channel. Archer is amazing family.
I was drinking my coffee when Keith started introducing himself and Renee... thank goodness I didn't spit up on my laptop! LOL... I started following Sailing Zatara after your boat race, and indulged on catching up on many of their videos. Happy that you two are with them. The snuggling after turning on the fan is adorable! Can't wait to watch your adventures with them and on Zatara!
What's cool is that two people who strike me as die-hard Californiesque Leftists can get along with a family who loves God and country. There are definitely lessons to be learned about this word "tolerance" that I hear so often.
Zatara parents have political views which are probably further right than most but they have a smart business brain each and have made a well paying brand out of their sailing life.
@@utubewillyman Sorry if I was rude to you I apologize. I was a bit put out by the negative commits here. Please, by all means, why not ask them? Jason and Nikii are awesome people and were born and reared in Texas, worked in Dallas for several years, then sold their business and home went RVing for several years, and after that journey was over-purchased a Leopard 43 Sailboat...They are stuck in Fiji due to the COVID-19 their boat is stuck in Tonga!!! Have a nice and Blessed Labor day.
No doubt from mom Renee (Keith being the prime instigator of sarcasm in the family). It's one of the things I've often struggled with in watching the Z crew is the high amount of sarcasm which in the long haul is not really going to serve these kids well as they move into adulthood. But it's probably also one of the things that makes them very funny to us as the viewer. Anyway Kate is lovely. I think it would be awesome for Kate to have her own segment every now and then. She's very creative and I think it would be a great outlet for her. What do you guys think?
Really good friends took their 4 boys of cruising on there boat in the 90's. (Age 2-12). The boys have all gone on to successful lives in pro sports, business etc. Its an amazing life style that produces such well rounded people. They actually got the sailing bug thru our family , how scary! Cheers Warren
Haha "Boat Hopping" is better than "couch surfing" Nikki!! Just want to thank the Z-Crew for hosting you aboard Zatara!! Hopefully Tonga opens up soon! Fair Wynns and Following Seas Curiosity!!
I just want to say Jason , you and Nikkie , should both be professional photographers. Watching your vid of those amazing shots under the waves was amazing, spectacular , as is all your amazing photos and vids One of these big boat companies should just buy you a brand new yacht of your choice. I have never met a more positive loving, fun couple ,of love of life and every creature in it. You make living in this trying time so much more pleasurable and fun. You both are so mature. for your age. I love all your adventures thank you. for all you do
Amen to that Mark S, I love the Wynns and miss seeing them on curiosity... Praying they get back to their home soon. People can be so rude and mean and so self-absorbed that they can take a few minutes to be thankful and pray for the Wynns to soon be back on Curiosity!!! Jason and Nikki sending love and hugs to you both, THUMBS UP to you... GOD Bless You both, Praying for angels to guide you.
I don’t know how I missed this one. Z crew are an amazing family, you fit in with them well. Two of my favorite sailing channels. Along with sailing Florence and La vagabond. Thanks for a z crew tour from a different perspective!
Hey you two! I just wanted to say, THANKS! Thank you for making the content that you do, thank you for being who you are. You inspired me. I was in a depressed state of life, with Covid changing the world, when I came across your channel. I fell in love with it, binge-watched every video you've made. And realized that I had a similar dream of adventurous exploration. So we purchased an RV and a boat, and are now using your energetic, care-free, explore-what-you-can, change-the-world-for-the-better approach to life- inspiring us to create our own, and sharing our adventures through our eyes, for our family and friends, hoping to inspire them to lift their heads up and go explore (safely during Covid ;) And I eagerly await your new content each week! Thank you!
How bloody awesome is the Z crew, what a combination. Its great you can hook up with them and get a lifestyle BACK... Awesome, cant wait to see what you get up to from here!!
So nice to see the family back together😄 Keith & Renee know how to sail with style. They make for great watching. Can’t wait to see all the shenanigans unfold😆
This looks like a lot of fun! Finn was a hoot. I'm a middle school teacher and a mom and I totally loved meeting the kids. That would be an interesting and fun way to grow up. Have a great time ya'll!
Well guys if the borders are opening from New Zealand and French Polynesia then maybe soon?!?!??! Can't wait until you guys get back to your boat!!! Love to you both! You guys are the best...💜💙💚
@@listay1 US citizens can leave NZ they just can't go to NZ. If you have information contrary to this information I received please share it. And what problems did Zartara cause? Thank you.
@@listay1 Please explain when they were tested for COVID-19 and giving a negative on the test. So how could they have caused any problems for NZ when they were leaving due to COLD weather... And without a doubt, if NZ had a problem with them leaving they sure could have stopped them!
Wow..... Mom, (pretty lady BTW) Dad and three teenagers and now you guys.... equals.... NEVER a dull moment!!!! I REALLY hope they lift the curtain and you guys can get to your boat SOON!!!
Wonderful, sounds like things are moving in the right direction. I'm so happy that you two stepped for him without your efforts and others the out come probably wouldn't have been good. Thanks for who you are and what you do.
Always love seeing what you are up too! Seeing inside different boats is fascinating and seeing how families go full time sailing is really neat! Cheers to your adventures and times with the Zatara family.
Glad to see you both getting the opportunity to have more some fun with friends, Wishing you all a great time during these difficult times, Stay safe 😎
Just entered for the van! Fingers 🤞 ! I LOVE your channel! Totally dedicated to watching every single clip! Not to mention, Sailing Zatara was the first channel I couldn't stop watching! So the joint videos are absolutely awesome!
If I had a SV and I was in the area, I would be honored to have you both ( all seven ) as guest for as long as you wanted! I grew up in a large family and miss the chaos. You can always find a way to Zen your way out of the NOISE. But you can never replace family love....or extended family love. Sailing communities ( Beach ) are the best!👍♥️
OMG! 😆 *sqee* So adorbs! Contagious happiness when you guys are at sea. Can’t wait to be part of (vicariously enjoy by watching) your trip to NZ. My buddy T-bone opened a disk golf course in New Plymouth if you guys end up in the area, I’m sure he’d take you out for a round with fine craft beers included.
When you are outside your country, you should strive to be a good ambassador for your country. The Wynn’s are an excellent example of this. Sadly, the Zatara’s are not.
I agree! That's why I was sad to see the Wynn's with them. Will not be watching this video. Keith thinks its funny how disrespectful he is... it's not.
Retired & Restless, I never realized that being well-behaved while a guest was a grandiose concept. It seems pretty simple to me. As far as your assumptions/inferences about me goes, I find them somewhat ironic and laughable that you got all that from a few sentences. Ironic because while you are seemingly advocating that we should be accepting of differences among all people (a worthy concept), at the same time, you attack me for having an opinion of the Zataras that differs from yours. FWIW, I unsubscribed from their channel because I found them to be arrogant at times. In my opinion, arrogance is not a positive trait to display when visiting a country.
Since I follow both channels on a few different platforms I already knew you were living on Zatara. But it is pretty awesome to see the two channels cross paths in this manner. I absolutely love both channels for different reasons. My family is working on taking the steps to doing some sailing and possibly full time cruising one day because of watching you guys. We found your channel 3 years ago and then the Zatara channel right after and we love what you do so much we became patrons. Happy to support you guys.
No matter how good of friends you are, living with another family in tight quarters is not the greatest idea... You are bound to get on each other’s nerves.. let’s just hope it’s for a very short time
Hope you guys can continue to stay safe and keep the vids coming. I've been following Sailing into Freedom channel and it looks like everyone is trying their best to cope in these difficult times.
I'm always so glad when my favorite channels get together. Wish it was better circumstances for you but I think you all will have great times together. I love the fact that boat community comes together for each other.
When I seen that the Z-crew was going leaving New Zealand and going to Fiji I new that you two would be back together. I keep hoping that Tonga opens up and you are able to get back to Curiosity. It would be wonderful if Tonga opened up like Fiji and you could sail there! Praying that it happens quickly.
Mark has had his tests and now we're waiting to hear back from AstraZeneca. And no, Mark's family can't join him and he can't join them. That's Covid and border shut-downs. His wife flew to South Africa and the borders shut down before they could reunite. Hopefully with the medication Mark will have time to get back to South Africa. Curious Minion
I think the teenagers brought a vitality and freshness into the scene.... Cool new vibe :) loose canons are exciting if they're firing pyrotechnics and not canon balls....they strike me as good kids. Nice comfy accommodation too.... Hope you have a wonderful time ! Looking forward to the updates :) Best wishes........J
I have watched almost every Zatara video and maybe only a few of yours. You know the problem with this whole YT thing is that it is a giant time suck. I did enjoy your tour very much. I was also touched by your compassion with Mark as well. How about an update on him? Thanks and stay safe.
Hey from Cordova Alaska, we might be distantly related, Wynn family, we even have a family farm named Wynnwood in the Midwest, my guide dog and I are new to your channel, Thanks for letting us hop aboard vicariously. Happy Adventuring to you all
That is awesome. I've been watching both your channels for quite some time now. You guys back when you had the RV in Alaska, and the Zatara crew pretty much day 1 of quarantine.
Those kids are super-cool. My idea of hell would be a long passage in a family with kids - but these guys could change my mind. Oh, and what a fabulous boat.
Just a quick note about Omaze. For every $1 they collect they only give $.15 to the charity. That is a very pathetic 15% charitable contribution. I have a little bit of experience in the world of charity and it is clear Omaze is a for profit business that runs raffles and gives a small percentage of their profit to charities. They give the 15% to charities so that they can legally run the raffles. I have no issue with a for profit raffle company, but it bothers me that they advertise themselves first and foremost as fundraising/charity site when that isn't the case. They try and make the claim that 70% of their costs go to sourcing/general costs/management of the company and only 15% goes to "Omaze". However, anyone with half a brain realizes in that 70% there will be salaries and compensation to board members/owners/managers etc. The point is, they are just a raffle company that has decided to give a bit to charity to make what they are doing legal. On the other hand, it's a great deal for the companies who are receiving the charity, it isn't costing them anything so why not let Omaze run one of their raffles with you as the charity.
This is key info to know. I was thinking about dropping a good chunk of change thinking it was ALL going to protecting natural spaces through the charity Access Fund and thought this promotion was a great way to generate great PR and goodwill for Vansmith. What a disappointment !!
@ SuburbanHobbyist. True Dat. I could mention a few names of a few corporations who act as charities growing and saving money using volunteer labour,Tax exemptions, Building equity. Other people's generosity and Good will And theres more,
The Wynn’s are actually boatless. Nicky lost Curiosty in a card game while in the US so they are working various jobs to buy another boat. Nicky cooks and Jason deep dives into the bilges.....you heard Nicky say they have identified other boats. Perhaps they may also need a husband wife team for odd jobs. All kidding aside, you guys rock and I feel your sadness for not being able to get home. I’ve followed Zartara and you from day one when you guys got your boats. Great people, G rated entertainment, educational and above everything else great ambassadors to the boating community.
Gone with the Wynns < Jason < That’s not what I heard from a credible source. Nicky was at the table her eyes we’re glossy as you pleaded “don’t do it! not Curiosity “ she looked at you, took a big hit of Southern Comfort and that was it....😂 Hope you guys can find your way home soon. If I remember correctly you have a lot of work ahead of you. Your subscribers are rooting for you, enjoy the Texas hospitality. Oh I forgot, you made a comment about Zartara TP stash, you have to remember there’s a lot of heinies on Zartara .🤭 ..Chuckles..
I can't Believe SV Archer is anchored right behind y'all (When you showed Keith the first time)! they are another youtube Sailing boat/channel :) We follow them but they are super behind on uploading. I just couldn't believe i recognized their boat from that distance!
The 🍍 Cup was hilarious and needs to be reprised every year just so we can see more of Luke Warm & Sandy Bottoms again! Ah yes, teenagers ... That's gonna be scarier than your 'scariest cave' experience and just as murky 😀. "Act natural" of course turns into a bit of a centerfold pose for Finn, Mr. "I woke up like this ..." Add some chest hair and he can be Burt Reynolds. (Where's that hairy chest centerfold emoji when you needed it 😂?) Actually, Finn is one of my favorite ZCrew members ever since I watched an earlier Zatara episode of his emotional bond with their cat when Zuko went temporarily missing. Now his guitar 🎸playing's been pretty rocking lately, so way to go, Finn! Wow, "hobbit hole" was an apt description of Kate's room, which she's quickly growing out of, sorta like Alice in Wonderland. And how sweet was it for her to even think that theirs is probably not an Easy Bake Oven... heehee. Loved💕 it! As for the Zatara tour, how amazing that just 15' more in size than Curiosity seems to yield triple the living space! I wish the designs of our land homes can be half as self-efficient and space-effective as these beautiful water cats! P.S. ZCrew "adults" looked pretty good for "72 yrs old", haha, but not if they continue chugging down bacon and other animals fats 😉.
I was right there with you , until the bacon and meat comment. Why is it that you grazers feel the need to take a swipe at us carnivores at every turn? How about you do you, and keep you nose on your face, where it belongs, not in other people's business! I come from a Texas ranching family, and most of my grandparents, as well as great-grandparents, ate eggs and bacon or sausage every day for breakfast, a lot of the time, making cream gravy from that delicious sausage or bacon grease; then mostly beef for lunch and dinner; occasionally fried chicken, and the only "seafood" was catfish, bass or perch, caught out of one of our stock tanks, battered in cornmeal and fried! They all lived well into their 80's and 90's! It seems to be what kind of food you were raised on determines what "Healthy Eating" is. You just go ahead and enjoy your side dishes, and leave the entrees for us!
@@cigman2000 The animals consumed by most Americans nowadays are not the same as those your family ate in the past. HEALTHWISE: The medical community do recommend a mostly plant-based diet with whole foods instead of highly processed one laden with animal products to help ward off preventable illnesses like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and many types of cancer which are huge burdens to our medical system (but do keep doctors and pharmaceuticals rolling in the dough 😂). ENVIRONMENTALLY-speaking, raising animals for food is extremely polluting and wastes so much natural resources as well as degrading surrounding ecosystems. Factory farmed animals are also the primary recipients of antibiotics used in America simply because their "living" conditions are so terrible that they literally die without it. So that brings us to ANIMAL WELFARE: Realistically, the recommended American serving of meat/fish at mealtime for an adult is about the size of a deck of cards but I don't think most of us really follow that guideline. Instead we tend to overly demand and consume meat. Chickens, for instance, have been fed hormones and selectively bred to grow 300 times faster than in the times of your grandparent. So fast that their bones break under the rapid weight gain. Even "grass-fed" cows still spend much of their time packed into crowded feedlots without any kind of shelter under all kinds of extreme temperatures just so they can gain that necessary market weight. Then the hellish long-distance transports to slaughterhouses. I mean, really, from conception to death, animal agriculture nowadays is both cruel and unnatural. Not to mention unnecessary since we live in the #1 country in the modern world with so much available information and better, kinder food choices at hand. As for Keith & Renee of the ZCrew, they seem to have a great sense of humor and were always the first ones to poke fun of themselves, referring to themselves as "rednecks", etc, but IMHO no one who've been willing to take themselves out of their comfort zones and State-side life to test, literally, new waters just so they can "show their children the world" aren't really "rednecks" at all 😇. If to you @cigman2000, sensitive flesh eater (and I certainly hope not cigarette smoker too), what I said sounded offensive, it shouldn't be since I actually have huge respect and admiration for Keith, Renee, and their family. As for leaving the meats to you and stick to the side dishes, no problem 😀. I'm merely following scientific, medical standards and dietary recommendations.
Wow! what a boat! Very nice family as well. I love to hear the expressive teenager's. So different then what you find back here in the US nowadays. I would say they made the right decision getting out of Dodge! ;-) You are going to have much fun with them. Glad you all are safe and hanging in there.
I am just waiting for Zatara to sail into one of the ports in India. Then I will be able to take them out to see the "Taj Mahal". Now isn't that wishful thinking Captain 'Jack' Sparrow😜😜😜😜
Great to see you with that nice family. The 'ooo's' of delight from the camera operator when the dishwasher was revealed were not lost on me Jason! Division of Labor buddy, life might get a bit easier for a while even if things are a bit crowded compared to Curiosity! We have adult kids so I appreciate how fast teenagers normally grow. Indications are Kate is going to be tall so I had visions of her having to clean her teeth while sitting on a stool in a year or two and maybe even kneeling after that.
5 teenagers now....gotta include Jason and Keith. That's one cool boat! And it's always fun to be around Texans (non-native Texan here...but 20+ years in DFW area) Lots of stuff to track here....with Millennium and now Zatara and Curiosity (soon hopefully)....
💩 OOOOOHHHHHH CRAP! Just realized we forgot to put the brand of Catamaran we’re on. 🤦🏼♂️ It’s a 2006 Alliaura Marine Privilege 585.

Love the Zatara and family. The Wynn’s are so lucky to visit their boat and be a part of the family for a little while.
Highlight of the episode. Loved the kids posing/flexing for youtube
I like it a lot when channels I watch interact with each other.
You can't really sense how big the boat is until the interior tour starts and you realize it just keeps going on and on.
Their previous boat was a 50+ foot Beneteau monohull. At the time, they still had their other daughter sailing with them, so 4 kids total!!!!

Hello GWTW’s, I was the one that asked about the dinghy race that you spoke about in the last vid with the Z’s, It was great. I watched the OR,WA, & AK # 01 to 017.

Finn is at that age where he's sharp with comments, sometimes he pushes the limits, but that's what 13 year-old's do. It reminds me of my younger brother at that age...extremely funny...most of the time 👏
A family with 4 teens that can survive for more than a year on a sail boat has got to be doing okay.
the food stock alone must be a full time job
Looking forward for more Gone with the Zataras in the future
I am so excited
Great video Nicky and Jason! We have good and sad news. My mother in law who I love dearly has started the downhill spiral and we are getting ready for life changing again. The good news is that eventually we will have the freedom to sail away on our boat and start the sail life we have yearned for after stumbling on your channel accidently a few years ago. Best of luck getting your boat in Tonga. Cheers from Ed and Melinda
Hang in there! 💙💛💙
@@gonewiththewynns we will keep our chins up. We also have no name for our boat yet. Our friends have not come up with any either. How did you choose or end up with Curiosity's name? Our girl is completely gutted now and we are starting to renovate her. She was an old gentleman's dream and he never got the chance to finish her. When we brought her home we blew 3 tires on the trailer but the most exciting day was waking up the next morning an seeing nothing but boat out the kitchen window. I am going to have most of the basic stuff done this winter and hopefully next summer we will be in business. My wife and I would love to meet up some time with you guys somewhere in the world and cook you supper (vegetarian of course). Ed and Melinda
You are wonderful, gracious people who spread goodwill. Hope you get off that boat soon.
So cool you got to meet up with the Z-Crew again. I am thinking it is making life a little more enjoyable since you can not get back to your own boat. So nice of the Z-Crew to welcome you aboard. Glad to see both families not letting this pandemic slow you down. Always look forward to both channels putting out great content.
It's so beautiful how people come together in difficult times. Looking forward to more updates soon!
Teen Tuesday video today on Sailing Zatara. Jack runs through the kite boarding gear. Maybe next episode he'll teach us all the "how-to's" of kite boarding! Jason, hope to see your dream come true and see you out kiting soon! Glad you are all able to be out on the beautiful blue and not landlocked inside a little apartment!
I love that the name of the boat is named after a character in my favorite book “the Count Of Monte Cristo” Zatara is the name the smugglers give to Edmund Dantes when he joins their crew. Zatara means Drift Wood in portuguese
Thanks for the fun fact! Cool to know. If you watch Sailing Zatara's earlier videos, they say they actually named it after the boat on the movie Captain Ron. But that's cool to know there's more connection in the name.
Is there a way to tag Zatara in comments so they see this? I'm newer on here.
Totally thought yall were gonna board with us. I mean small distance, but also a family of 5 from Texas. We too met up with yall on that rainy Miami Boat show day.
.
I hear ya, wish yall could get home. Till then. Glad yall can enjoy time together. It was a little deja vu watching yall and Zatara. Love yalls tour and the perspective from yall.
See you next Sunday!
Chris, Jolene, Carter, Chase and Caleb.
He’s playing Red Dead Redemption 2! Hell yes !
Really cool boat though. I’d love to do this someday.
I watch both of your channel an theirs... love you all! Makes my life stuck on the hard tolerable... thanks Wynn's for all you do...your a blessing to follow!!!
Great to see you both again, keep smiling, stay happy, keep spreading joy and good vibes as you always do. You guys are amazing, it broke my heart to see you get near tears on the last video. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. You guys are awesome! 😍
Glad you two are in good company. Be safe. See you two next week.
I could see archer in the background too! So cool to see so many of my favourite sailing channels all coming together
Some years ago I said what with all the new sailing channels we shouldn't be surprised when they show up on each other's channel. Archer is amazing family.
Secret Squirrel yes definitely! It’s just really nice
Thanx covid for showing us just how versatile, flexible and creative we can be. I just moved to Mexico.
Your CV gig looks really awesome!
I was drinking my coffee when Keith started introducing himself and Renee... thank goodness I didn't spit up on my laptop! LOL... I started following Sailing Zatara after your boat race, and indulged on catching up on many of their videos. Happy that you two are with them. The snuggling after turning on the fan is adorable! Can't wait to watch your adventures with them and on Zatara!
Trust me...you don't snuggle in the tropics unless the fan is on 🤣
@@gonewiththewynns I'm having a quiet little giggle here. I lived in Kuala Lumpur before they had AC. And Detroit, MI in the summer. 😁🤣
We've been following you guys since lockdown and it's so nice to see you on board the Zatara. You guys are going to have such a blast!!!
What's cool is that two people who strike me as die-hard Californiesque Leftists can get along with a family who loves God and country. There are definitely lessons to be learned about this word "tolerance" that I hear so often.
The central lesson probably being how to be a gracious and grateful guest. To hosts or host countries offering you shelter during hard times
Very well summarize with lots of insight
@@elizabethjocollins4313 No judgment, just an observation. I'll believe it when I hear it from them.
Zatara parents have political views which are probably further right than most but they have a smart business brain each and have made a well paying brand out of their sailing life.
@@utubewillyman Sorry if I was rude to you I apologize. I was a bit put out by the negative commits here. Please, by all means, why not ask them? Jason and Nikii are awesome people and were born and reared in Texas, worked in Dallas for several years, then sold their business and home went RVing for several years, and after that journey was over-purchased a Leopard 43 Sailboat...They are stuck in Fiji due to the COVID-19 their boat is stuck in Tonga!!! Have a nice and Blessed Labor day.
Gone with the Wynns is part of the Z-Crew Excited.
A Heart From the Wynns this is Huge to Me. Thanks Guys. Good Luck on the new HH Catamaran.
OMG! The young girl was so polite.
And so mature for a 13 year old. Seems so nice.
@@alexd302 Yes, I agree! Very rare nowadays. And where she picked that up is a puzzle too. The rest onboard can come across as a bit rude :-)
No doubt from mom Renee (Keith being the prime instigator of sarcasm in the family). It's one of the things I've often struggled with in watching the Z crew is the high amount of sarcasm which in the long haul is not really going to serve these kids well as they move into adulthood. But it's probably also one of the things that makes them very funny to us as the viewer. Anyway Kate is lovely. I think it would be awesome for Kate to have her own segment every now and then. She's very creative and I think it would be a great outlet for her. What do you guys think?
Really good friends took their 4 boys of cruising on there boat in the 90's. (Age 2-12). The boys have all gone on to successful lives in pro sports, business etc. Its an amazing life style that produces such well rounded people.
They actually got the sailing bug thru our family , how scary!
Cheers Warren
not sure what it means to be a 'zit master' lmao
Greatest crossover in TH-cam history
Couple of my favourite channels hanging out, what a absolute treat, thanks
Haha "Boat Hopping" is better than "couch surfing" Nikki!! Just want to thank the Z-Crew for hosting you aboard Zatara!! Hopefully Tonga opens up soon! Fair Wynns and Following Seas Curiosity!!
You two ARE CRAZY!! And a lot of fun to watch on your journey too! Thank you for sharing it with us!!
I just want to say Jason , you and Nikkie , should both be professional photographers. Watching your vid of those amazing shots under the waves was amazing, spectacular , as is all your amazing photos and vids One of these big boat companies should just buy you a brand new yacht of your choice. I have never met a more positive loving, fun couple ,of love of life and every creature in it. You make living in this trying time so much more pleasurable and fun. You both are so mature. for your age. I love all your adventures thank you. for all you do
🙏🏻😊
Amen to that Mark S, I love the Wynns and miss seeing them on curiosity... Praying they get back to their home soon. People can be so rude and mean and so self-absorbed that they can take a few minutes to be thankful and pray for the Wynns to soon be back on Curiosity!!! Jason and Nikki sending love and hugs to you both,
THUMBS UP to you... GOD Bless You both, Praying for angels to guide you.
I don’t know how I missed this one. Z crew are an amazing family, you fit in with them well. Two of my favorite sailing channels. Along with sailing Florence and La vagabond. Thanks for a z crew tour from a different perspective!
Hey you two!
I just wanted to say, THANKS!
Thank you for making the content that you do, thank you for being who you are.
You inspired me.
I was in a depressed state of life, with Covid changing the world, when I came across your channel. I fell in love with it, binge-watched every video you've made. And realized that I had a similar dream of adventurous exploration.
So we purchased an RV and a boat, and are now using your energetic, care-free, explore-what-you-can, change-the-world-for-the-better approach to life- inspiring us to create our own, and sharing our adventures through our eyes, for our family and friends, hoping to inspire them to lift their heads up and go explore (safely during Covid ;)
And I eagerly await your new content each week!
Thank you!
How bloody awesome is the Z crew, what a combination. Its great you can hook up with them and get a lifestyle BACK... Awesome, cant wait to see what you get up to from here!!
My two favorite sailing channels, for completely different reasons, all on one boat. I live.
Sad no races. Someones chicken.
So nice to see the family back together😄 Keith & Renee know how to sail with style. They make for great watching. Can’t wait to see all the shenanigans unfold😆
Oh boy, here we go. Kite surfing, yep. Lost my shorts down in Corpus learning that. Keep em tight Jason, it's a blast.
The best comment :)
Oh no! I'll tie a double granny knot 🤣
@@gonewiththewynns :) :)
How fun two good families together enjoy
This looks like a lot of fun! Finn was a hoot. I'm a middle school teacher and a mom and I totally loved meeting the kids. That would be an interesting and fun way to grow up. Have a great time ya'll!
Very cool, very real, a true useful collaboration. Dream seekers all.
Well guys if the borders are opening from New Zealand and French Polynesia then maybe soon?!?!??! Can't wait until you guys get back to your boat!!! Love to you both! You guys are the best...💜💙💚
New Zealand's borders aren't open. Zatara left before the borders opened and caused lots of problems when they left.
@@listay1 US citizens can leave NZ they just can't go to NZ. If you have information contrary to this information I received please share it. And what problems did Zartara cause? Thank you.
@@listay1 Please explain when they were tested for COVID-19 and giving a negative on the test. So how could they have caused any problems for NZ when they were leaving due to COLD weather... And without a doubt, if NZ had a problem with them leaving they sure could have stopped them!
TH-cam Heaven my two favourite sailing channels all in one place Thank you.
Wow..... Mom, (pretty lady BTW) Dad and three teenagers and now you guys.... equals.... NEVER a dull moment!!!! I REALLY hope they lift the curtain and you guys can get to your boat SOON!!!
😆😆💙💛💙
Wonderful, sounds like things are moving in the right direction. I'm so happy that you two stepped for him without your efforts and others the out come probably wouldn't have been good. Thanks for who you are and what you do.
Always love seeing what you are up too! Seeing inside different boats is fascinating and seeing how families go full time sailing is really neat! Cheers to your adventures and times with the Zatara family.
This is going to be just an awesome series of being with Zatara! Cannot wait for the future episodes!!!
Glad to see you both getting the opportunity to have more some fun with friends,
Wishing you all a great time during these difficult times, Stay safe 😎
Just entered for the van! Fingers 🤞 ! I LOVE your channel! Totally dedicated to watching every single clip! Not to mention, Sailing Zatara was the first channel I couldn't stop watching! So the joint videos are absolutely awesome!
If I had a SV and I was in the area, I would be honored to have you both ( all seven ) as guest for as long as you wanted! I grew up in a large family and miss the chaos. You can always find a way to Zen your way out of the NOISE. But you can never replace family love....or extended family love. Sailing communities ( Beach ) are the best!👍♥️
It's great to see you guys get together - enjoy both of your channels.
OMG! 😆 *sqee* So adorbs! Contagious happiness when you guys are at sea. Can’t wait to be part of (vicariously enjoy by watching) your trip to NZ. My buddy T-bone opened a disk golf course in New Plymouth if you guys end up in the area, I’m sure he’d take you out for a round with fine craft beers included.
Ohhhhh man. Disc golf and craft beer. That’s like my dream Sunday 👍🏻
Something I miss dearly from the USA.
This is great! Glad to see you guys visiting others people we follow.
When you are outside your country, you should strive to be a good ambassador for your country. The Wynn’s are an excellent example of this. Sadly, the Zatara’s are not.
I agree! That's why I was sad to see the Wynn's with them. Will not be watching this video. Keith thinks its funny how disrespectful he is... it's not.
After reading your comment, I wonder what you think you're the ambassador of?....Tolerance?....nope
SuperMurf44 , it’s not about tolerance. It’s more about how one should behave when they are a guest in another country.
Retired & Restless, I never realized that being well-behaved while a guest was a grandiose concept. It seems pretty simple to me. As far as your assumptions/inferences about me goes, I find them somewhat ironic and laughable that you got all that from a few sentences. Ironic because while you are seemingly advocating that we should be accepting of differences among all people (a worthy concept), at the same time, you attack me for having an opinion of the Zataras that differs from yours. FWIW, I unsubscribed from their channel because I found them to be arrogant at times. In my opinion, arrogance is not a positive trait to display when visiting a country.
Agree. I will not be watching this video also.
I’m always glad to know you are safe. I so miss the intro song on older sailing videos La La La La La La
I love the snuggle scene!!!! 😘😘
Starting the "love boat" are you, delos has lost that title lol
Haha. The love boat 😜
Man that snuggle at the end! WOWZER.
Since I follow both channels on a few different platforms I already knew you were living on Zatara. But it is pretty awesome to see the two channels cross paths in this manner. I absolutely love both channels for different reasons. My family is working on taking the steps to doing some sailing and possibly full time cruising one day because of watching you guys. We found your channel 3 years ago and then the Zatara channel right after and we love what you do so much we became patrons. Happy to support you guys.
We couldn't do it without our Patrons! 💙💛💙
You two and Zatara are by far my favorite you tubers.
No matter how good of friends you are, living with another family in tight quarters is not the greatest idea... You are bound to get on each other’s nerves..
let’s just hope it’s for a very short time
Bruh ;-;. Are you dumb?
@@mel4340 not as dumb as your reply to the OP makes you look
@@xBINARYGODx yeah sure
Hope you guys can continue to stay safe and keep the vids coming. I've been following Sailing into Freedom channel and it looks like everyone is trying their best to cope in these difficult times.
Hope Keith comes off better in person.
Love both your channels and am so happy you guys are collaborating!!! I bet it was crazy and fun!!!
So glad you’re aboard another boat and not stuck on land. ❤️
It is a pretty boat.
Probably much better for family life and long term living.
If you cant be at home on your own boat, be with the Z crew, life is never dull with Zatara
I'm always so glad when my favorite channels get together. Wish it was better circumstances for you but I think you all will have great times together. I love the fact that boat community comes together for each other.
When I seen that the Z-crew was going leaving New Zealand and going to Fiji I new that you two would be back together. I keep hoping that Tonga opens up and you are able to get back to Curiosity. It would be wonderful if Tonga opened up like Fiji and you could sail there! Praying that it happens quickly.
Yay! Glad to see the Z crew picked you up. Can't wait to see the sailing adventures!
Please give an update on Mark! Has his wife & family been able to join him?
Mark has had his tests and now we're waiting to hear back from AstraZeneca. And no, Mark's family can't join him and he can't join them. That's Covid and border shut-downs. His wife flew to South Africa and the borders shut down before they could reunite. Hopefully with the medication Mark will have time to get back to South Africa.
Curious Minion
Your video quality has improved tremendously I haven’t watched you guys in a while
I think the teenagers brought a vitality and freshness into the scene.... Cool new vibe :) loose canons are exciting if they're firing pyrotechnics and not canon balls....they strike me as good kids.
Nice comfy accommodation too.... Hope you have a wonderful time ! Looking forward to the updates :)
Best wishes........J
I have watched almost every Zatara video and maybe only a few of yours. You know the problem with this whole YT thing is that it is a giant time suck. I did enjoy your tour very much. I was also touched by your compassion with Mark as well. How about an update on him? Thanks and stay safe.
Mark has had his scans and everything looks good! We're just waiting for AstraZeneca.....
Fun family, you fit right in. Huge cat just like a very comfortable home on the water.
Hey from Cordova Alaska, we might be distantly related, Wynn family, we even have a family farm named Wynnwood in the Midwest, my guide dog and I are new to your channel, Thanks for letting us hop aboard vicariously. Happy Adventuring to you all
Welcome aboard & thanks for sailing with us!
I have been following both of these channels for a long time. It’s always good to see you guys together. Jack and Finn are always such clowns! LOL
That is awesome. I've been watching both your channels for quite some time now. You guys back when you had the RV in Alaska, and the Zatara crew pretty much day 1 of quarantine.
Love Texas. Time to do a raid on Tonga to get the Wynn s boat back :)
Now you can snuggle.! Aww! So cute. 🤗
Loved the little hobbit bedroom,what a boat.!!!
I would say the Wynns have landed well, sadness aside
Those kids are super-cool. My idea of hell would be a long passage in a family with kids - but these guys could change my mind. Oh, and what a fabulous boat.
Just a quick note about Omaze. For every $1 they collect they only give $.15 to the charity. That is a very pathetic 15% charitable contribution. I have a little bit of experience in the world of charity and it is clear Omaze is a for profit business that runs raffles and gives a small percentage of their profit to charities. They give the 15% to charities so that they can legally run the raffles. I have no issue with a for profit raffle company, but it bothers me that they advertise themselves first and foremost as fundraising/charity site when that isn't the case. They try and make the claim that 70% of their costs go to sourcing/general costs/management of the company and only 15% goes to "Omaze". However, anyone with half a brain realizes in that 70% there will be salaries and compensation to board members/owners/managers etc. The point is, they are just a raffle company that has decided to give a bit to charity to make what they are doing legal. On the other hand, it's a great deal for the companies who are receiving the charity, it isn't costing them anything so why not let Omaze run one of their raffles with you as the charity.
Thanks for sharing that. Good to know about any charity.
This is key info to know. I was thinking about dropping a good chunk of change thinking it was ALL going to protecting natural spaces through the charity Access Fund and thought this promotion was a great way to generate great PR and goodwill for Vansmith. What a disappointment !!
@ SuburbanHobbyist.
True Dat.
I could mention a few names of a few corporations who act as charities growing and saving money using volunteer labour,Tax exemptions,
Building equity.
Other people's generosity and Good will
And theres more,
All or most transactions are C a s h
The Kara and Nate of sailing. Always great content.
The Wynn’s are actually boatless. Nicky lost Curiosty in a card game while in the US so they are working various jobs to buy another boat. Nicky cooks and Jason deep dives into the bilges.....you heard Nicky say they have identified other boats. Perhaps they may also need a husband wife team for odd jobs.
All kidding aside, you guys rock and I feel your sadness for not being able to get home.
I’ve followed Zartara and you from day one when you guys got your boats.
Great people, G rated entertainment, educational and above everything else great ambassadors to the boating community.
@judd_s You're incorrect...Nikki lost it in a game of dice 😂
Thanks for the kind comment!
Gone with the Wynns < Jason < That’s not what I heard from a credible source. Nicky was at the table her eyes we’re glossy as you pleaded “don’t do it! not Curiosity “ she looked at you, took a big hit of Southern Comfort and that was it....😂
Hope you guys can find your way home soon. If I remember correctly you have a lot of work ahead of you. Your subscribers are rooting for you, enjoy the Texas hospitality.
Oh I forgot, you made a comment about Zartara TP stash, you have to remember there’s a lot of heinies on Zartara .🤭
..Chuckles..
@@judd_s5643 very bad joke. unable to go back to home, as compared to loss a boat because of gamble?
I can't Believe SV Archer is anchored right behind y'all (When you showed Keith the first time)! they are another youtube Sailing boat/channel :)
We follow them but they are super behind on uploading. I just couldn't believe i recognized their boat from that distance!
And another adventure begins! That is one beautiful boat. Hopefully this time you'll end up at Curiosity!
Wow! What a boat! glad to see that you're able to keep on the water during these strange days! Fair Winds---
Keith a vegetarian....ahh no! not going to happen :). So glad you're making the best of your stay in Fiji.
love the z crew.. in fact its so rare that they were the only ones i thought of when seeing the title. lol.
The 🍍 Cup was hilarious and needs to be reprised every year just so we can see more of Luke Warm & Sandy Bottoms again! Ah yes, teenagers ... That's gonna be scarier than your 'scariest cave' experience and just as murky 😀. "Act natural" of course turns into a bit of a centerfold pose for Finn, Mr. "I woke up like this ..." Add some chest hair and he can be Burt Reynolds. (Where's that hairy chest centerfold emoji when you needed it 😂?) Actually, Finn is one of my favorite ZCrew members ever since I watched an earlier Zatara episode of his emotional bond with their cat when Zuko went temporarily missing. Now his guitar 🎸playing's been pretty rocking lately, so way to go, Finn! Wow, "hobbit hole" was an apt description of Kate's room, which she's quickly growing out of, sorta like Alice in Wonderland. And how sweet was it for her to even think that theirs is probably not an Easy Bake Oven... heehee. Loved💕 it! As for the Zatara tour, how amazing that just 15' more in size than Curiosity seems to yield triple the living space! I wish the designs of our land homes can be half as self-efficient and space-effective as these beautiful water cats! P.S. ZCrew "adults" looked pretty good for "72 yrs old", haha, but not if they continue chugging down bacon and other animals fats 😉.
I was right there with you , until the bacon and meat comment. Why is it that you grazers feel the need to take a swipe at us carnivores at every turn? How about you do you, and keep you nose on your face, where it belongs, not in other people's business! I come from a Texas ranching family, and most of my grandparents, as well as great-grandparents, ate eggs and bacon or sausage every day for breakfast, a lot of the time, making cream gravy from that delicious sausage or bacon grease; then mostly beef for lunch and dinner; occasionally fried chicken, and the only "seafood" was catfish, bass or perch, caught out of one of our stock tanks, battered in cornmeal and fried! They all lived well into their 80's and 90's! It seems to be what kind of food you were raised on determines what "Healthy Eating" is. You just go ahead and enjoy your side dishes, and leave the entrees for us!
@@cigman2000 The animals consumed by most Americans nowadays are not the same as those your family ate in the past. HEALTHWISE: The medical community do recommend a mostly plant-based diet with whole foods instead of highly processed one laden with animal products to help ward off preventable illnesses like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and many types of cancer which are huge burdens to our medical system (but do keep doctors and pharmaceuticals rolling in the dough 😂). ENVIRONMENTALLY-speaking, raising animals for food is extremely polluting and wastes so much natural resources as well as degrading surrounding ecosystems. Factory farmed animals are also the primary recipients of antibiotics used in America simply because their "living" conditions are so terrible that they literally die without it. So that brings us to ANIMAL WELFARE: Realistically, the recommended American serving of meat/fish at mealtime for an adult is about the size of a deck of cards but I don't think most of us really follow that guideline. Instead we tend to overly demand and consume meat. Chickens, for instance, have been fed hormones and selectively bred to grow 300 times faster than in the times of your grandparent. So fast that their bones break under the rapid weight gain. Even "grass-fed" cows still spend much of their time packed into crowded feedlots without any kind of shelter under all kinds of extreme temperatures just so they can gain that necessary market weight. Then the hellish long-distance transports to slaughterhouses. I mean, really, from conception to death, animal agriculture nowadays is both cruel and unnatural. Not to mention unnecessary since we live in the #1 country in the
modern world with so much available information and better, kinder food choices at hand. As for Keith & Renee of the ZCrew, they seem to have a great sense of humor and were always the first ones to poke fun of themselves, referring to themselves as "rednecks", etc, but IMHO no one who've been willing to take themselves out of their comfort zones and State-side life to test, literally, new waters just so they can "show their children the world" aren't really "rednecks" at all 😇. If to you @cigman2000, sensitive flesh eater (and I certainly hope not cigarette smoker too), what I said sounded offensive, it shouldn't be since I actually have huge respect and admiration for Keith, Renee, and their family. As for leaving the meats to you and stick to the side dishes, no problem 😀. I'm merely following scientific, medical standards and dietary recommendations.
Totally awesome start to the adventure guys. I’m sure you will have loads of fun together. Looking forward to it 👍
Gosh. Instant community. Thanks for the update.
Wow! what a boat! Very nice family as well. I love to hear the expressive teenager's. So different then what you find back here in the US nowadays. I would say they made the right decision getting out of Dodge! ;-) You are going to have much fun with them. Glad you all are safe and hanging in there.
I am just waiting for Zatara to sail into one of the ports in India. Then I will be able to take them out to see the "Taj Mahal". Now isn't that wishful thinking Captain 'Jack' Sparrow😜😜😜😜
Great to see you with that nice family.
The 'ooo's' of delight from the camera operator when the dishwasher was revealed were not lost on me Jason!
Division of Labor buddy, life might get a bit easier for a while even if things are a bit crowded compared to Curiosity!
We have adult kids so I appreciate how fast teenagers normally grow.
Indications are Kate is going to be tall so I had visions of her having to clean her teeth while sitting on a stool in a year or two and maybe even kneeling after that.
Ha, she’s gonna grow outta that room (literally) in the next year or so 😂
5 teenagers now....gotta include Jason and Keith.
That's one cool boat! And it's always fun to be around Texans (non-native Texan here...but 20+ years in DFW area)
Lots of stuff to track here....with Millennium and now Zatara and Curiosity (soon hopefully)....
So cool, I really looking forward to see more of you hanging out on Zatara. I hope you guys stay for a while
