I worked on this one for a bit, debating whether I should post it or just scrap it and start a different video. In the end, I decided it's better to upload something rather than nothing at all.
I will be doing a follow-up video covering any points I failed to explain and such.
Let me know what you think :)

    Love HURTZZZZ (Hz) or 1 Hurt is the reciprocal of 1 second…. a second hertz hurts worse than any frequency or cycle of disappointment from expected permanence of a relationship …. Yet without Hertz (Hz) THERE IS NO FLOW OF LIFE LIGHT ITSELF! Isn’t true love a wave that ceases to exist if you grab it like a photon of LIGHT?? You Zatara folks are our Huble micro/marcro LOOK into the universe itself…. OK… I know it sounds like Brussel Sprouts or Bovine Shibboleth (B.S.) EXCEPT most cannot differentiate between Bull & Cow Paddies in a Magnetic Field of Genderless Bovines… Right? or is it Left?? Thanks Jack … You actually POETICALLY express Clearly the ANGST of a young adult Male looking for love “IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES around the WORLD!

    6:48 It doesn't sound stupid, Jack. It sounds genuine and heartfelt. You understand your life being at sea, and the joy of meeting and connecting with new people will always be cut short. You can anticipate it, even when you'd rather deny it. You continue to put yourself out there and share your life with others all the same. Not everyone has the kind of strength you've shown by a willingness to be vulnerable.

    G'day Jack, I too grew up on a boat mate. I sailed with me parents until I was 19-years old. I lived on the boat for 11-years. I finally left the boat to begin my studies at University. I know exactly how you feel mate, especially in regards to relationships. It was literally impossible for me to find any promising relationship while I was sailing. As soon as I met a girl, it was time for a new passage....and I had to leave. It was absolutely nutters! I definitely empathise with you, Jack. I was also a major introvert as well, which obviously didn't help approaching girls. It wasn't until my Junior year at Uni that I met a girl in my Chemistry class. I'm currently working on my Graduate Studies....However, that girl I met in Organic Chemistry, is now my fiancée. I proposed to her in May! Our wedding is scheduled two weeks after I graduate in December! There's definitely a special person that's specifically waiting for you, Jack. You'll certainly find her and realise...It was absolutely worth the wait. Cheers brotha & Blessings from Margaret River, Western Australia 🇦🇺.

    that monologue was relatable. i dont live on a boat but i live in 6 months in america and 6 in italy. it’s like you’re constantly having to say goodbye to people you love, constantly missing people because your life is in so many places. when im in italy i miss home, when im home i miss italy. and so when an opportunity comes to see someone, for example a friend from america is coming to italy, im filled with hope. hope things work out, hope i get to see them, hope all my expectations are fulfilled, but you cant do much with hope. hope without action is nothing, useless. sometimes the actions cant happen, plans fall through. that’s where im at right now. the longing feel insufferable. i feel for u

    It doesn't sound dumb Jack. You're trying to get a grip on your feelings, which sometimes we just can't. I felt the same thing when I lost my dad. There is that longing for him to come back and for things to change in a good way, but you know in the back of your mind it won't. And it is hard to find the right words to describe how you feel, because sometimes there are no words to describe it. I hope you're doing well and other wise that is also okay. You're not alone Jack, even if it feels like that sometimes.

    *Jack this is the best video I’ve seen from all of yours, your family’s, and of Finn’s videos.* No fluff…it was authentic, honest, and you shared real feelings that people can connect with…so I felt that I got to understand and know you a bit better (your full personality has been a mystery to me). Some say that suffering is waking up each morning and desperately trying to be happy living a life you’re not content with or when vital needs are not being met - it can suck the life out of you especially when lonely. A social life is an incredibly important need in human life especially at your age. You’re an awesome young man and it may be time for you to make a change in your life - changes are scary but often bring rewards. Maybe consider picking one of those beautiful places that you connect with and temporarily stay there to see if you’ll become happy there. You don’t have to make it a permanent change…your family can always pick you up at certain time to move on. Trust the signs and listen to your gut and all will be well!

You have had an amazing 7 years traveling and growing on a yacht with your family, but by the tone in your voice, the emotion I feel and watching you the past year, you are ready for YOUR next step in life!!! Your folks are great and completely understand kids grow into adults and need their life too. Your sister scooted off to school and is enjoy a life in the US! A young man needs a life too and you are at a precious age to grow and experience that life. I left home at 18, did a career my dad was proud of until 23 and then was miserable at work and life and decided I needed something different, left my job, got broke, started a business and then developed an amazing life with awesome friends and created a great family with a wonderful woman I met in my late 20s.... BUT, I had to take the step to change my course. Sit with your mom and dad, they are awesome, and will completely get it. I just watched their week alone on the boat and they too are going through lots of soul searching for their "next step". Finn and Kate will be great if you move on...you're not leaving the planet, just pivoting and stepping in a new direction! IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO PIVOT sir Jack! You will be fine and really love the next part of your growth in your 20s. Well wishes my friend. 🙏🙏🙏 Keep vlogging regardless of where you go and the new board rocks!!

Cherish the good times & good moments, especially with your family. We all are here a limited amount of time, when you become my age you realize just how short it is. I had my first child at 62 when I was retired & he’s now 15. These have been the best 15 years of my life. You just never know what lies ahead or when the best laid plans disappear, so as I said, cherish the moments, live each day to the fullest. Love will strike when you least expect it, trust me!

But soon you will be looking back and realizing that things do work out exactly the way they are meant to. Take deep breaths, and rather than letting those thoughts tell you that you aren't that good at something, start to choose better thoughts. For instance, "i am a fantastic storyteller! I have a lot to offer. With my combined experience, I am becoming a verifiable BADASS!" Because i assure you, these are true things. Don't let self doubt confuse you buddy... you are enough. You are loved. And you are absolutely worthy of feeling loved in whatever way brings you the maximum joy! You are such an inspiration to so many, including your siblings. Be proud of yourself.

    Jack, since you and Finn seem pretty versed in older songs (presumably from your parents' influence), there's a quote from a post-Beatles solo song of John Lennon, one of his last... "Life is what happens to you, while you're busy making other plans"... it's true, but you can choose to go with the flow... remember, friends, acquaintances, even family, can come and go, oft times on a whim. Enjoy them while you have them in your life, cherish the memories. If they stay in your life that's great, if not, remember them, the good and the bad that they gave you, but don't let it mire you down. Yes, it's true, you and Finn are going through the same thoughts and feelings, but you both are experiencing a life few have had the chance to enjoy. With a crazy world out there, I sure wish I could join you guys and just have idyllic days at sea, and visit all the historic ports and meet more interesting people than those I am exposed to where I live... don't be so ready to give up the life you and Finn have now, enjoy it!

    You are an amazing storyteller and I relate to how you feel, I grew up as an expat overseas but we moved every 2 to 3 years. Nothing was as hard as the goodbyes. You know your time is limited (yours much more than mine ever was) so you learn how to feel close, fast, and everything is so much more intense than when it plays out in normal life time lines. For me, all these years later, I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s hard to live through but I am grateful for having had it. I hope you find what you’re looking for and a contentment with it when you do. Please keep telling your story, it’s raw but authentic.

    I really love the cinematography in your videos (especially this one). It has a wonderful nostalgic feel to it and I can really imagine you/your family watching these back decades from now and still feeling that spark of magic from the moment the footage was taken 😊. On a different note- I just wanted to commend you on being so open and honest about your feelings and struggles. I live on land and have no doubt that in many ways my life and experiences are different from yours since living on a boat comes with its own challenges, yet I also find myself reminiscing on the past and wondering when certain things (making or maintaining relationships being a key one) became so difficult. Sometimes I swear I blink and time has disappeared and bonds that seemed unbreakable have either wilted due to distance/differing lifestyles or broken entirely. I wish I could say something to make that reality less sad, or your own situation seem easier to bear, but I also can't pretend like there are easy fixes nor like my words can have much impact, no matter how well-meaning they are. But I hope that perhaps just reading my comment might reassure you even slightly that you are not alone in this experience, and even those on land struggle to remain close even when they really want to. Money, life experiences, time, mental health- there are so many things that can leave you feeling like you are all alone on your own little boat, drifting out to sea. What I have always found comforting, however, and which I am grateful to say I have personally experienced, is that God uses that experience for good. No matter how much things might suck now/in this moment, there is always opportunity there somewhere. We often just can't see it at the time. God bless and wishing you a future with strong relationships that will stand all the tests of time, space and distance.

    Pirate Jack-- thanks for posting this. Life is full of twists and turns, whether youre on a boat or not. Much of life is about trade offs. . . the life experiences youve had with your family traveling the world for 7 years is something many people would love to have-- but one of the tradeoffs is that constantly traveling makes relationships difficult- friendships as well as romantic interests. Youve got a great heart, and you will find someone-- probably when you are least expecting it. Dont worry about the story telling-- I always enjoyed your videos. You just have a different style from Finn's. Youve got a lot to offer. . .so dont let that get in the way of you posting more! Hang in there!

    Hey Jack life is like a “buffet” you can take as much as you want or as little as you want and you can go back as often as you like until you find what you like the most. Take your time and enjoy the sampling before you decide on one thing .😊 p.s. I had to add to this comment my parents moved so often that I went 10 schools 3 different high schools and a lot of friends. I learned to make friends fast and enjoy the moment I had three serious girlfriends December 22, December 24 and December 26. I married the December 26th girl about 38 years ago. My best friends were and are my brothers and sister. They never left me they never let me down. God bless brother and remember if you love someone don’t be the guy who says “I wish I would’ve told him/her I loved them the last time I saw them!

    jack, when i was younger i had a similar situation as you, but in an entirely different setting. our family showed horses nationally here in the USA for many years when i was a pre-teen to late-teen. show season would start in late april and would run through october. we juggled end and beginning of the school years as we were on the road. i always felt / knew that we developed relationships differently than 99% of my peers and other people. our true "friends" were on the road and at the shows because we grew up together and shared many things in common throughout the show season. little did i know that when i stopped showing and getting ready for college, those relationships pretty much ceased. i wasn't ready for that! sure, we stayed in touch some over the course of the next couple of years, but it was waaaaayyyyy different than it used to be. definitely not like old times together showing horses. as i became a young adult, i had to REALLY work on relearning how to develop lasting and meaningful relationships. it worked out, but it did take a lot of effort. will you find your forever someone at sea? who knows...maybe / maybe not. but the key takeaway from your childhood is: your mom and dad sacrificed heavily to make sure that you have had the type of lifestyle you have had. obviously, you seem grateful for this, and have grown into a fine young man. your next steps will undoubtedly take you in a different direction. maybe you will now get the opportunity to "see the world" from a entirely different perspective. maybe consider living some time as a land-based adventurer...yes? no? maybe? there is truly a pot of gold at the end of your life's rainbow. believe this! after horse-showing, i met the gal of my dreams in college, married, had children, and are now living our dream life as a retired couple in florida. no one has a crystal ball for you, so all the more reason to carpei deum! keep pressing on and living life. you WILL find your way! i am quite confident of that!

    Jack, you did an amazing job with your video. You were speaking from the heart. I can tell you for sure when you meet the right girl, everything will fall into place. Traveling around the World has its upsides and downsides. You get to see things that most people will never get to see, but you also get to meet people that you may never have met if not traveling by boat. You have to do what makes you happy! It is your life and when you are ready, you will start treading water in your own direction so to speak. Your a smart guy. You can do anything you set your mind to. You’ve got this! Keep your chin up. Excellent video my Friend!

    Jack you’re way better at story telling then you give yourself credit for. It’s refreshing to see real and raw emotions coming from a social media personality like yourself. Use that feeling for fuel for another thing your good at. Music!! I always imagine you and your brother writing music together. This emotion you’re feeling usually makes me write something with screaming guitars while I scream too. At any rate doooooder the saying is it will happen when you least expect it. I find those words speak the truth.

    All so normal…especially these days…on or off a boat. I am terribly sorry you are going through this pain. Hurting is so painful, but really makes you a more compassionate and better person over your lifetime. You are clearly a wonderful person; we have all seen it in so many ways. And nothing sucks about not sharing parts of your life with all of us. 💓🙏🏼

    I’m the same age and know exactly how you feel. Even me being on the boat for 2 months feels extremely lonely and isolating sometimes.

Thank you for sharing this was honestly so good to hear!!

    Jack, there comes a time when you have to make your own way. If you're happy on your parents course. great. At some time, the call of every child to make their own way becomes the dilemma. Part of adulthood is defining and making your own way in this crazy world. Stay/Go.... look inside and define that dilemma.

    Jack, i so enjoy your rare and sincere reflection on life. It’s a great adventure you have on the boat, doing the many things you love, but the conundrum of giving up much socializing and personal relationships. Perhaps your calling is not being a videographer like your other family members, but perhaps a journal or biography to publish down the road. Best wishes ☮️❣️

    You are so authentic in this which is very much appreciated on social media where everyone tries to portray perfection. If you are praying for something and it hasn't happened then it wasn't in the master plan. Even on land it seems hard to maintain relationships or to find sincerity. I recommend listening to unanswered prayers by Garth... because one day you will look back and hindsight is always 20/20. Good luck. Stay true to yourself and good things will follow.
