You don't need a "hot water heater" because hot water is already hot. You need a water heater.

Good day to you all, the reason I'm writing is to let you know that I'm concerned about a dark mole on mr Whitaker's right temple area. Has he had it checked out to be sure it's not serious? Love your videos ❤!

I cant believe everyone is grown up....I remember watching you from your first episode....its been a journey and I have loved watching your kids grow into young adults. It is crazy how fast time has flown. Thanks for the memories!

True, i feel the same

All of your kids who lived on the boat can qualify for a US Coast guard Captain license for at least 50ton with the time and experience they have had on Zatara. They would need to take a registered course online and schedule a test to pass then submit the paperwork for the license. I used a school out of key west and it was amazing and passed on my first try. Strongly recommend it for everyone.

Experience doesn't count until 18yrs old. 100 ton for sure though. =)

I’m beginning to believe Renee is the hardest working behind-the-scenes KZreadr producer in the cruising community. Keith, you have a treasure in her!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, if you define, "hard working" as striving to be the most ugly Americans abroad you can possibly be. People like them are why the world thinks Americans are entitled shitbag c***s. Have you completely ignored some of their behaviours????

As moms I know the best feeling in the whole world is to have your whole family under one roof so we can hear them breathe, make sure their tummy’s are full are they’re warm and safe. No matter how old they get that’ll always be the best feeling in the world. That’s what keeps us happy and safe.

You’ve been such great parents. Your kids will have everything they need to be safe and successful- due to skills they have from mom and dad, self reliance, good sense, kindness, etc. happy Mother’s Day to you 💐

Keith this is Greg, Lauren's husband. That alignment sure brought back a lot of memories. I worked on locomotives 15 years ago and we would pull the engine, EMD or GE and rebuild them then have to do an alignment. Our alignment had to be within .0025 on all 4 sections of the couplers. Sometimes it could be done in a day. Several times it took a week of 12 hours shifts to get it aligned.

Years ago got trained in laser shaft and motor alignment and that made that job so much easier could get down to .005 deviation on 3 axis

Always remember. What does Boat stand for? Break out another thousand. Great show. Thank you.

You've now got me wishing the rest of the year away so I can watch Chasing Gold. I think that will be a fantastic series of videos.

I was staying in the keys a few years ago and came across the History of Diving museum. I'm a lifelong avid diver so took the time to check it out. I was so blown away by how great the collection is and how well displayed & contextualized it was in the tour following the timeline of diving. Judging from the outside I wasn't expecting anything spectacular, it's fairly nondescript and on an isolated bit of the highway, but was such a wonderful surprise once I got inside. I even went back a second time since I was staying for an extended period. It really is a fun educational gem in that part of the keys, I highly recommend to anyone with an interest in diving, history, or just a love of the ocean to check it out, and I'm sure kids would really enjoy it. Thank you Renee for including it this week's video! It deserves the love :)

Love you guys. Keith needs to get that mole checked out that is on the right side of his temple. Good luck to everyone.

I was thinking the same thing !!!

Watching Keith for a few years now, repairing everything on Zatara, is educational & enjoyable over here. I think I can see Keith's oil and gas days when Keith (you) does/do all this maintaining of the various systems.. Great edu for blue water cruisers. Like to technical descriptions. Love the details! Do intend to continue watching you all as your family changes. Also watch Cruising Kiwis whom I found through this channel, and their life drama & challenges. Anyway, hey I really enjoy to hoodie I bought form Finn. Renee I think it is terrific you appear in curlers. Very down home. Thanks, Los Angeles

Treasure Seekers eh? Now that sounds like nothing but pure fun. Jack, that was pretty funny at the dentist. Mom, the curlers looked awesome. Kate, you're always precious. Finn, stay on that guitar. You're great. Dad, you're brilliant. Take care everyone.

We only have one left in the nest. Life is very different! Proud of them as they start there own lives. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Thanks for sharing your adventures

Jack speaking "Gauze Mouth" there is no google translate for this dialect 😆. Keith is such a MacGyver Techie, Mr. Fix-it. Crazy how much you need to know to sail. Congrats. Will be sad to see the birds fly their nest but it is good. Daddy Keith & Mommy Renee Birds trained their youngster real well to face the world. Blessings to you all!

Great video! Renee you are so talented! I love this family. I follow your channel since the very beginning. Every week we look forward to seeing your videos. Your story is inspiring and you’re such a hardworking family. Safe travels and good luck in your next journey can hardly wait to see your next adventure!❤

Thank you for sharing your adventures. I love watching you beautiful family. Sailing Zatara is one of my favorite KZread subscriptions. It is so fun watching you and your kids' travels. Thanks again for sharing the journey.

Your patience is paying off. Keith, you are so knowledgeable that those installing the engines can't try to slide on any issue. Good for you and thank goodness you are where you are in life to keep people honest. You want it done right so there are very few problems in the future, and it takes time to do that, and you are doing that. Renee, it would also drive me nuts with all the dust and dirt. My condo was destroyed by outside rain and broken water pipes, so I ended up living in a construction zone myself for over 6 months, I'm a neat freak too, so my heart goes out to you living with the dust, dirt, and chaos. Hang in there, it looks like it will be over soon, and you will be back to living your adventures once more.

Great job with filming and editing, sometimes take for granted how time consuming and what an eye for filming you have. Signed up for Incogni, great discount, well worth it.

I LOVE YOU KEITH, RENE, JACK, FINN, & KATE❤❤❤❤❤

I enjoy your videos so much, excited for the engine start up!

Even though we may have days, weeks and months to prepare before we enter into our next phase of life it can still be a large hurdle for us Thankfully Jack and Kate are going to be working with people that you have known for while. That can make the transition smooth for all of you. I am excited to see you all enter the new arenas in your lives. Wonder filled times ahaed.

We are so excited for your new journey!!!!

Looking good, Renee! You have a beautiful family ❤ can’t wait to see the engines running. Jack and Kate are so brave going out of their comfort zone and trying something new. I’m sure they will have a fantastic summer!

Excellent content!! Thank you, very inspirational!! Where to next?

Jack, I can feel your pain.I had my wisdom out at twenty one

I was in Tonga in 1975 working as an engineer on the MV Willowbank, loading Copra, we also called at. five Ports in New Guinea, also, New Ireland, New Caledonia, New Hebrides - British Solomons - Bougainville - Tahiti - Samoa - Fiji, I have also been to Pago Pago - Honolulu.

I recently found your channel and have enjoyed the sailing adventures. I was enamored with expensive large boats years ago. Your travels have given me something I could never achieve. Keith is quite the mechanic. When he used the phrase "turning to the right" I totally understand as I was a water well driller. Seems like there are a lot of breakdowns. Renee is quite the movie producer. Enjoy the videos.

I think it’s so fantastic how well you have raised your children! How intelligent they are which of course I can tell it’s from you and your hubby. And what wonderful choices they have made in their life. You’ve got the whole package. You are so blessed. Thank you so much for sharing all of your lives on the channel Stay safe and blessed. Love grandma Tampa

Loved that ending! Can't wait!

Renee, I just love your videos, always interesting, informative and fun! Also, great editing skills you possess!

Ooooo, I love the Keywest!! Y’all will enjoy it!

Love the finale!!!🎉 Super excited for y’all in 2025!

those are georgeous engines!!! can't wait til their humming!!!

Okay, the ending is so intriguing! Looking forward to it!

Another great episode! It will be sad seeing your kid's leaving the boat, I hope Jack and Finn will keep posting on their personal channels, it will be interesting to see their journeys on their own! By the way, I have signed onto the Incogni site.

Greetings from Puerto Rico, I have been following you for a long time, I was in my other house in Florida and I see that you are there, much success and many blessings to you and your beautiful family, I hope to see you one day

Wow. The Chasing Gold preview looks so professional. 2025 going to be "can't miss"!!!

Treasure?! Will Kate do videos while in Tonga? What a beautiful family! Blessings to all!

Thanks for all your content. I have watched all your videos from day one.Happy Mother’s Day

This should be very interesting, can't wait 👍🙏♥️😎

I simply love this episode’s closing … Sailing Zatara - Chasing Gold 2025. You both and the kids are a joy in my life.

I LOVE Key West!! Well to be honest i love all of Florida, and I'm Canadian! My son and i took a two week road trip from Ontario Canada all the way to Key west Florida and back. After spending a few days in the smokie mountains we spent a week of that trip traveling all over Florida. We drove the entire pan handle, spend two days in Orlando, spent some time in the everglades, swam at Daytona beach, West palm beach, and Bradenton beach, went to Universal studios Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando. We only spent one day and one night in Key West and i regretted not staying a few days longer. I loved the wild chickens running around all over the place. What an incredible place Florida is.

WOWSERS you all sounds like you’ve got all your motors revved up for some great adventures. Happy sails!!

Great end to the video, I like the teaser!

Thank you for the upload. Jack your hilarious. Glad to see you did well during your tooth extractions.

Jack and Kate are going to have a blast. Loved the teaser at the end, can't wait!

Omg. I freakin love it. Chasing Gold. BTW I was out on an island and diving nearby when we heard the first radio calls that Mel Fisher’s crew found the treasure, we followed the boats back in, the town was lit that night and next day. Everyone was so excited. Epic idea Keith and Renee

Great video! Liked the side trip to Key West! I always like going through whatever museums I come across, rarer am I ever disappointed in doing so. Fortunately I have the room and all four of my wisdom teeth are in place. I hope Jack heals fast from the extractions! Changing the engines, specially the brand of engines has certainly had its challenges, but when finished I am sure it will prove very much worth the effort. Looking forward to your next video!

I love the fact you have shaftdrives.I have gone with brunton sigma drives instead of bullfkex for sligning shsfts on my 4jh57 twin engines.Cheers, Ross.

Love the ending of your video. Has my interest peaked !

Wow Renee the Lobster tails looked WONDERFUL! God bless each of you. Ty for the amazing videos!

Thank you for taking us all along on your adventures! My husband & I have made a few investments that we hope will pay off soon & we hope to be filming some of our own adventures soon! Until then, I'll keep watching you folks so thanks again for sharing!

I love your videos as well as Jack & Finns channels! Renee, could you please share the link to where you got your curlers? I’ve let my hair grow to just below my shoulder blades & it’s very thick. I wear it up in a messy bun almost every day & would like to wear it down with curls. I’ve ordered similar ones but they were cheaply made & there were very few of them. Yours are exactly what I’m looking for & I would appreciate your help. Thanks & much love to you & your family!

👍🏻 💯 % on scubadiving. When I purchased my boat in '80, it had scubatanks (twin shorties) in the boat. Both where hydo'd in'47

You guys are so transparent about everything, what did that time in the boat yard cost and everything that was done to the boat while you were there, including what Kieth fixed and replaced?

Chasing gold, I like it :)

I am assuming Jack has a power of attorney for Kate to authorize him to make necessary potential decisions? Always good to cross your T’s and dot your I’s.

If worst comes to worst, he can always say he’s her husband, they have the same address and last name on their driver’s license Me and my sister both have blond hair and blue eyes. You can tell we are siblings In grad school, we were roomates For sone reason, everyone thought she was my wife in our apartment complex I got so tired of telling people she is my sister that I just acknowledged she is my wife because it was less time consuming. It would always turn into a conversation if I had to correct everyone and say was my sister, normally I was in a rush It got awkward one time when someone started telling me how beautiful my wife is…and I had to tell her she is my sister because that was about to be real awkward if I acknowledged that I had a hot wife Anyway, it did dawn on me that if something bad happened to her in an emergency situation that it would be easier to just tell the doctors at the hospital that I was her husband and to perform whatever emergency procedure is necessary versus having to wait a few extra minutes to wake my parents up to get the same answer Now that she has a husband, he can do the honors but in an emergency situation, you got to do what you got to do to get R done

If any of the people you take out are divers, please have an attendance list. Years back, a couple went with others to the great barrier reef and while they were under the sea, the captain left with the other passengers. When they finally came up, the boat was gone and they died out there with no one rescuing them.

In the many years I’ve been watching, I’ve been seeing the day coming where the kids go their way.

God bless this next journey! I can say, “Jack speak caveman!” (Think Meet the Parents)

That's great you came across Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum. I live in Sebastian, Florida a couple of hundred miles north of Key West. Just off the coast of Sebastian is where Mel first found the treasure of the 1715 Spanish galleon fleet that sunk during a hurricane. He has a very interesting museum in my little town as well. They have expanded the search down to Key West and have found other Spanish galleon wrecks there. Mel passed away in 1998, but his daughter, Taffi, runs the Treasure Museum in Sebastian.

I enjoyed this video 😊

The History of Diving Museum is a GREAT little museum and is very worthwhile. Just down the road is Lazy Days on Islamorada. It’s a great restaurant right on the water - I had the best and most memorable lunch I’ve ever had there. Also, when going to the Keys, before you get on the Overseas Highway, stop at Robert Is Here at Florida City - it’s a super-sized fruit stand that serves the BEST milkshakes in the world! And while in Key West, if you visit the museum, DO NOT make Robert The Doll angry.

Make certain to replace fuel lines and don't use old lines again, during the exchange of your engine with a new one it may have been stepped on many times, and no one notices. As a lifelong marine diesel mechanic on Alaska commercial fishing boats, I have seen owners reusing old fuel lines that ruptured during break-in periods and caught fire.

great job

Nice trip to Key West!
