You don’t need to give any apology. It’s your Channel, your Content. If people don’t like it, watch something else. What makes your channel great is your authenticity. You can’t please them all.

The true subscribers know Keith! He owes no apology. Seek humour in darkness!!!

They hinted at romance on the boat, and I’m guessing Finn and Maddie. But it’s wonderful to see a bunch of people just living life together! Super cool

Maddi and Glorys singing was fantastic.

I freaking LOVE Keith's sense of humor. Sarcasm is a 2nd language in my family. To be able to use humor and sarcasm when talking about past tragic events is a blessing. It means you aren't hurting anymore. Keith obviously loves ALL of his children deeply. The man gets weepy at the thought of the kids leaving the boat life. Thank you for all the laughs!

As an Englishman the sarcasm and dark humour is well known to us. We use it in all kinds of situations with all our friends and family, and we all have a laugh about it. It's part of bonding for us and others around the world. The alternative is to mope around or be on eggshells, which isn't a good way to live.

would be interesting to see each kid of make one of their favourite meals for the group and that way they could all experience a new dish especially from Brazil and Saudi.

Hope that the young lady gets to fulfill her dream to stay longer and sail the Amalfi Coast with y’all!

Renee, for future reference it's really easy to make Chik-Fil-A Sauce. In case you can't get it regularly and everyone likes it. Here's the ingredients: 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Mix everything together and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Imagine knowing this family and thinking Keith ever has ill intent then thinking you get to demand some kind of an apology for how someone else handles their life? If you have watched this family longer than 2 episodes you know their humor and love. Renee, you do not need to even address those weak people. Love you all, keep it up!

People are addicted to outrage. Ridiculous of them to demand an apology for YOUR tragedy. You do you, Keith and Rene.

Keith and Renee, thank you, thank you for giving these kids this life changing experience!

It’s so amazing that you can take young kids from all around the world, put them on a boat having never met before ,and get along so well. This channels doing a lot more than watching y’all have fun, we’re seeing humility, and integrity once again. Thanks for being awesome Whitaker family and Guests! 🙏

Renae, your eyes told the whole story when you told us about your stillborn birth. Dealing with a devastating loss and coming to terms with it shows true courage.

For all you’ve given anyone whose watched your videos it’s astounding that a group of people would feel entitled to demand anything from you. Those of us who have followed your journey know that Keith’s comments were not malicious and, in fact, likely helped people move through their own grieving process. Keith is a tremendous person, father, and husband and anyone who has followed your journey knows this fact.

Feeding a bunch of growing kids is costly, time consuming and never ending challenge for the primary cook. Always nice to have the pack mules that consume to carry what they eat. The crew seems to be enjoying themselves and that is always good.

Renee, my grandfather was a tough man. His saying was “if you get your feelings hurt, it’s your own damn fault for having weak ass feelings” so we grew up poking fun at each other’s misfortunes and made it through life just fine. Love your family!!!!!!!

This is the best channel I've found on KZfaq and Finns channel is great too, I think you need to adopt all the new kids so they can stay with y'all forever 🤣 and never let anyone steal your sunshine, your healing process belongs only to you.

You owe nobody an explanation or an apology for anything! Continue with your lives as you see fit.. I love watching your adventures.

Keith and Renee are amazing. Beautiful couple and great example to the world on how to parent, how to work together as a team, how to build a family tribe, and how to be a couple. I’m sure they have their issues, their challenges, etc. like everybody else. But, I love everything about what they are doing and who they are: from Keith’s repair jobs and ship maintenance and planning, to Renees, social media skills, commitment to excellence in her videography, and her family management. They are both so awesome. The kids don’t know how fortunate they are to have such grounded, humble, committed and talented parents. I pray for your safe and fruitful travels.

As a Saudi I really enjoy your videos since you guys were at 60k! I was screaming when I found out you were having a Saudi member on crew I appreciate your efforts for our guy renee your a truly amazing woman and mother This is one of my favorite youtube channels the video quality is amazing I hope to see more of your videos in the future

I’m hopping I can financially do this with my family one day. Sailing the world. I’m a dad of 3 at the moment from Mississippi and it’s good to see a family with similar values do the things I really want to do. Keep loving life!

No one owes anyone an apology. The fact that you could have easily edited those comments out of the video but didn't speaks volumes. It makes you more genuine and aren't trying to hide anything. It's obvious that it was said in jest. Actually I think it took guts to include those comments in the video. You're very authentic.

As for food and chores I think it’s great to expose these kids to different things. I love how you have made it work for everyone to have a great experience. And honestly as a former vegetarian turned keto I appreciate you guys eat a lot of meats and that’s awesome! 👏🏼😉 and please don’t apologize humor is an art form that seems to be disappearing! ❤

I just wanted to add, you guys did nothing wrong, your a normal family. We all had bad situations in are life, losing a family member is hard, but also when you have a pet that pasted, its hard. I like Keith will never forget what happened, its his way of getting over a sad time. Great Vids..

Humour on the darkest of days is the remedy the world needs more of..... shout out to you and your family!!

Sarcasm is often used to deal with difficult situations. It's not that it normalizes what happened but rather a coping mechanism used to help deal. If you're curious, there are several reputable studies conducted on the subject. Much respect to you and Keith, Renee!

please dont ever feel like you owe anyone an apology for what someone else has said to one another in a video. I think thats what makes your channel great and AUTHENTIC is your unapologetic humor and your amazing " we are who we are" outlook. I hope you don't ever have to feel like you have to second guess what you are posting because someone doesnt have thick skin no sense of humor or whatever it may be because if they were offended it probably will happen again and this channel probably isnt the place for them..lol WE LOVE YOU Z FAM!!!

Renne - First and foremost you don't need to apologise to anyone for your life. None know the circumstances and context of your life. YOU ARE A GREAT MOM ! Love kieth for his wry sense of humour and outlook to life. Hats off to you and kieth for taking in and looking after 10 kids presently. The experience for these guest kids is a life time adventure cum exposure. Till next time.....happy sailing and fair winds.

Keith is a good man, and you have an admirable family. Life is hard for everyone at times. Getting through has your family has is a sign of wisdom and maturity on his part. It is obvious he loves you all.

Renee, you're a great Mom to all the med crew, you share you're ❤️ and take care of each one. I enjoy videos about you & Keith, relationships with your own kids and with us the viewers & how you explain the kitchen, providing meals and provisions. Amazing lady & truly Amazing life.

Sarcasm and joking about different life events(good or bad) is a very “American” thing. I know you have viewers from all over the world, and people view it differently. My family is the same exact way, and it’s a big part of why I enjoy your content because I can relate. Keith and my own father are incredibly similar 😂 Same personality, sense of humor, etc. Hell, they even have the same facial hair

Awesome family. Mom works so hard supporting the family with all their needs. Dad is so smart he’s a wizard. I just stumbled on your channel and I’ve been hooked ever since.

John, the Apostle was given his Revelation to write the Book of Revelation on the island of Patmos in about 90 A.D., Praise God!!

Renee, I am married to a guy with the same dry, sarcastic humour, & it is one of the things I love the most about him. Over the years his political incorrectness has upset many folks who don’t understand that’s how we roll, my mother included. But he is my husband & I also possess that same dry humour & it goes both ways, it just isn’t seen by most folks. And for the record, I ran over my daughters foot when she was 11. And yes, 10 years on I too joke just like Keith does when she is dawdling to get in the car. Time heals all wounds, & laughter is the medicine we choose to use in those times. Thankyou for affirming that Keith had nothing to apologise for. Folks have forgotten how a strong marriage works. It involves a lot of banter. Also thanks for the Penne pasta bake recipe... Gonna give that a try. 🤙🏽 Much love from Down Under 🙃💗

I love this very traditional family doing untraditional things.

Renee I’m only halfway through this vlog, just wanted you to know as sandwich, Queen Meal Provider, you have my respect. AND then you revisited a painful chapter in yours and Keith’s life (as if anyone else had a worthy say) with such integrity, you have my total respect.

Props to you Renee for being an awesome mother!

It is natural to make light of something tragic. My mom recently had cancer and the AMOUNT of cancer jokes we made is astounding. It helps us process, makes sure we don't forget and just bring attention to what happened in a better way

Please keep Glory on, she is such an amazing character and mature beyond her age. All the crew is great and I'm sure they are having the time of their lives. I'm glad you guys all laugh together. I don't care for a victim mentality, so Keith doesn't owe me an apology. Finn's and the Crew Monday videos are stellar, right up there with Renne's amazing filming and editing, but with a different perspective. I'm sure it's hard to keep veggies fresh on a boat for long periods of time. On long passages you probably have lots of boxed, canned, dried, and frozen foods which is understandable. Kate sure is getting tall. Watching your family grow up has been so entertaining. They each bring something to the table. Thanks for sharing with us fans over the years!

This channel never needs to change. The authenticity of your thoughts, opinions, and feelings is exactly what drives people to watch and love what y'all are doing. Please don't cave in to the hypocrisy of the current society tries to gouge in our everyday lives. Keith Rene and all the crew stay true and never apologize, that is what makes y'all GREAT

Rene, you and Keith are genuine people. And that's why I love your videos. If anyone thought Keith was serious, they are part of that "woke" culture... and obviously don't know who you are. I know what it's like to grieve, and sometimes humor (dark humor), is what's needed to move forward. The real fans, know and love you guys for being you. Keep the REAL videos coming!

Amen! Y'all betta sing!

Humour is just one emotion that we all go through in order to deal and cope with grief. It’s important to be able to process loss, that process being many faceted. It was used in the British forces constantly to help with highly stressful situations, without this process we would simply not be able to process it which leads to complications down the road. It can appear to be “dark” and insensitive, but it’s how it’s a perfectly normal human reaction, and important for individuals to accept and to use it. It’s certainly not for others to criticise those that use it, it’s not for them to judge. Please never apologise for using it. I wasn’t offended, I never would be. Thank you for sharing this with us, it’s very brave of you, but so important for those in that process that it is acceptable to use it. That things will get better, and that they are not alone in that grief. It’s part of life. Cherish the happiness and live your life’s to the max. XX

You brought these kids on the trip of a lifetime. And your kids get to experience this year round. Great channel awesome family. I've been watching your channel for a couple years now. And in my humble opinion both yourself and Keith are amazing parents. Keep sailing and bring us many more smiles. Love from Bristol Connecticut!!!

Keith & Renee, I am really enjoying this group of young people all have shown the kindness your family does engaging life. I hope they all grow in life from this experience with many opportunities.

I admire your generosity and patience, I raised two kids and their close friends, I just can’t imagine 8 teens in such tight quarters…..best of luck, your kids are so fortunate to have that lifestyle….I wish more parents could show their kids that level of togetherness and how critical it is to raising good humans…..bless you both

Dear Renee, please don’t ever feel the need to apologize for something that absolutely does NOT concern other people, especially strangers that have nothing to do with your life! There will always be some people that have to say some unnecessary things, so please just ignore them! Love you guys!!!

The time and effort that goes into these videos. Amazing Renee

Anyone else catch Kieth walking on the street with his arm around Jacks shoulder? I love this family. And Luke is the coolest guest this far.

I love you all and I enjoy everybit of your boat life. Great to see the kids enjoying new friends, and I would like to specifically thank you for respect showing to Ghanam on his food as he does not eat pork, samo here, and just thought that I needed to thank you guys for that and for the joy you bring us as followers or viewer's, love from Kosovo.

I really liked the first crew but this crew just makes me smile. Awesome job at picking an amazing group of young adults.

You made me hungry, Renee!! You guys struck gold with this crew. What a bunch of amazing young people!

Well done Rene and Keith. Thanks for a great get a way show. Always stay authentic and true to yourselves, no need to apologise. Safe travels to all of you.

sometimes you have to use humor and sarcasm to heal. and he has no need for any apology! he is such an awesome person!

You are making such a positive difference in each of these young adult's lives. Thank you for that. They will be eternally grateful for the rest of their lives. God Speed.

Just another amazing episode. I just maybe wanna mention that each new group of sailers is getting better and better . Can't wait for the next one. Love you guys.

u don't need to justify ur humour and past experiences anyone thats watched for a while gets you and understands. that's one of the great things about your family the way yous joke about "serious" or said to be harmful topics as a way of coping and just for a laugh love ur family and how chilled and light hearted yous are, people took offence to a joke about grhanam and there all just snowflakes... anyway

Don’t apologize for ANYONE…your channel. And if those folks have been watching long enough then they’d understand the humor. Keith reminds me of a buddy of mine, good guy, dark humor, big heart. Love the channel and keep doing what you’re doing!

I totally agree with you I’ve been married for 45 years. My husband was in a really bad accident in 2015. in the hospital six months in a coma for 2 1/2 months and everything we went through in our life we laugh about it.that’s why we are still together.and about two weeks after he came out of his coma we laughed so hard about something I almost peed my pants.I never dreamt I would ever laugh about,humour is key to a good marriage.

Awesome I'd love to visit this Island.....I've studied the bible and biblical history my whole life! What a blessing! So glad you mentioned John and Revelation

What an amazing experience your giving these young people! Your hearts are so big to invite so many people into your home and just show them the world. (But also thanks so much for sharing this with all of us too! Love going along on the adventure.) ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Please don't apologize for someone else's lack of understanding.. I can understand from their perspective, but they need to understand your's as well. I'm a nurse and believe you me we definitely have dark humor. I have seen so much over the years and have consoled many family members upon the death of a loved one after we did all the life saving measures we could or just a loved one that passed due to old age, etc. Even my own relatives. I performed CPR on my uncle at the hospital I worked at as I saw him take his last breath and my aunt was in the hallway wailing as I called a code blue while doing chest compressions. I recently performed hospice care for my dying step-father, the brother of the uncle I mentioned and I helped him pass without pain. In both of those situations I showed little emotion because it was not about me, but about them. Maybe that is because I have seen death many times, but also I wanted to support my family and be there, not myself. It is very difficult so humor helps us deal with those situations. It does not mean we do not have empathy or even sympathy. We often times grow very close to our patients and their families. I morn losses like anyone and losing a child for me would be the worst. I've always said we all have an expiration date, but we will certainly miss those that have passed. Love you all and God bless you and the naysayers from good old Ft. Worth, TX. Actually, I'm here in Kemah, TX as I'm watching your video on my sailboat hoping to get out there with y'all asap, but roadblocks keep coming up. Just had knee surgery ten days ago for example so anyway we will be "out there on the water" soon!

You and Keith have the same kind of relationship that we do. We are sarcastic, quick witted and try to make each other laugh. Love you guys!

Lol Keith is the funny out-a-pocket dad that makes jokes make people uncomfortable and I love it! Lol reminds me of my uncles and brothers

Cannot say enough about how much I enjoy these videos. I am sure I'm in good company. You are all delightful and it is a joy to watch. Thank you!

Aren't people entitled little fluff balls these days? Demanding apologies while enjoying the free entertainment you so graciously provide. The only thing I would ask is for more close up camera smooches from captain Jack! Zamm Zaddy! Lol❤

No apologies needed! Growing up in Montana I am used to real people. Laughter and joking is the only way can make it through life. One of the reasons I love your channel is Keith being real. So refreshing!

What fun they are all having! I can imagine how challenging meal planning can be! Kudos to doing it so well for so many!

Love this crew! All such amazing kidos! Absolutely no apology needed to anyone! Y’all are an amazing family and the love shines through! ❤

Renee - we call the times where people fend for themselves for meals “EMFH”. Every man for himself. So, I’m giving you my acronym to use moving forward. So all you gotta do is tell everyone, “Yo, tonight, it’s EMFH.” Now, Keith, I know you’ve done a lot of repairs and improvements on the boat recently but I’m always watching for that “Fix-It Porn”! Thanks to both of you as always for the amazing content. And Renee, just when I thought your photography and editing couldn’t get any better, it does. Those nighttime drone shots in the last episode were MAGIC combined with the music. Just beautifully done. Thanks for the opportunity you are giving all the kids on the boat! Yours included!!

wow shes such a super mom, keith you truly are blessed to have such an amazing wife!

Everyone deals with things in their own way and time. Laughter or sarcasm is often the best form of making light of a bad situation. Y’all have an awesome family! Live free! Live happy! Keep on truckin! Or sailing…Cheers from Arkansas!

Awesome video guys!!! I think it's funny that people say the kids don't get to interact with other kids. Just ask the haters if they let their kids have slumber parties for a month. That is incredible. I bet most kids in the US have never had a friend stay one night at their house. You all are so awesome for letting others get a taste of the adventure life. See y'all next time.

So is beautiful blue eyed Madeline and Finn falling in love? Also, Renee you owe NO ONE an apology! God Bless you and your family. Love from Texas!

I led teams of people in a multinational corporation for many years and always preached: "feedback is a GIFT". Positive reinforces, builds confidence and motivates you to do more of the same. Negative causes you to reflect and think what you might choose to do differently in future. Don't let praise go to your head and don't be defensive when criticised or the gifts will surely stop coming. Listen, grow and develop. Hope that helps Renee.

If you're Ok and Keith is Ok, do not bow to the people who are so upset with their own emotions that they feel they have to change others. I wouldn't watch if you would have handled this any other way. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Great Med Crew as well!

You have grown so much I just I remember starting to watch yalls videos I think maybe a year after y’all started and today I got the alert and I decided to start watching and there was about 30 something views and when I’m finished with the video you already have half 1 million congratulations I love this new crew. I love this video today. It was a little different from usual, but it was an awesome video.

It looks like as you would expect... the kids are living their best lives.. Lots of positive energy on the boat. I would offer that Keith's humor is infectious.

I hate that people want you or Keith to apologize for anything, or even having to explain. It’s so dumb. We are all different, and I appreciate you for you. And Keith. God bless.

I'm sorry that some people requested an apology from Keith or an apology to you, anyone who has watched you guys for a long time already know his sense of humor and we understood it exactly as how it was intended. If people don't like it then don't watch. This isn't a scripted reality show folks, this is real people saying and doing what they please and we have no right to judge. Keep up the great content and please don't second guess your comments, we love you for exactly who you are. XO

Cheers from Minnesota! Been with you and your dream from the very beginning.

Renee you don't owe anyone an apology, it is your business how you deal with things as a family

No apologies… y’all have dealt with it. Don’t worry about the comments. You’re fine. People who have no idea are imposing they’re thoughts on y’all. Love the posts

It seems that every week I end up saying "another great video". That's because it always is!! The hi-light of my Thursdays is watching your videos and looking forward to the next one. Awesome how everyone gets along and shares in the responsibilities as well. If you do this again, it's going to be really hard to find another amazing group of young people to bring aboard. I haven't heard one negative comment from any of them! Much love to you all and continue to have a great time on board Zatara!! See ya next week!!

Y'all are my people. Thanks for sharing your life with us!!!

No need to apologize. The one thing that that I love about this channel is that you guys are real. Anyone who follows this channel should know that Keith is a comedian and reality turns a gloomy day into a sunny day in paradise. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I like that you are always teaching - that makes my heart leap. Even when internet people have no business making comments about your (or **to** your) family sailing on the water half way around the world, you still set aside time for making a teaching moment from it. That's courage!

You don't owe anything to strangers on the internet! I appreciate your outlook on life Renee and Keith. Also i have a question for the crew if they'd like to answer, ive always wondered if you could have ANY pet to live with you on the boat (special boat animal that would be totally fine at sea) which would you have? Safe ttravels for everyone:)

I look forward to yalls uploads every week! You guys did a great job at picking out the "crew .2"

Don't apologize to anyone on here, you guys are awesome!

Sarcasm, humor and forgiveness are the keys to a happy relationship. I love the way you all roll, it's fun and refreshing.

I really enjoy Luke's sense of humor! Great group!

I’m not sure why people are so quick to be offended. You were talking about something personal. Something incredibly painful for your family. All I could see was a man dealing with pain the best way he knows how. If Rene is all right with it, and so is Keith…. Why would anyone else be upset. 😊 you do you! Thanks for the episode.

Honestly Renée ignore the comments saying Keith needs to apologize. Your real viewers know you, they know Keith and you guys didn't even need to share about Jane but you did and you did it authentically as YOURSELVES.

Mama Renee, I feel compelled to comment (again...😅) I am grateful you took the time to share details of your family's traumatic loss. You needn't have, and it has no doubt cost you (again..). I amongst others am stronger for having learnt from your example that the darkest times can be experienced yet recovered from. The vast majority of viewers can also see the successful coping mechanisms you have all employed. Finally I must opine that it is not for others to comment on how a family survives traumatic experiences, better only to celebrate the fact they did. God bless you ma'am, you and your entire family owe apologies to no one. xx🤗🤗

We all deal with our past issues differently. Anyone who has watched your channel for any length of time, knows you all are good people. Trolls are going to troll, that's all I'm going to say. I love you guys and am thankful to come a long with you on your journeys. And I love how you keep your family running Renee, even taking care of these guests. You're awesome! BTW, milk is one of those grocery items we hate to run out of. Made many of midnight runs to the store to get it, lol. But then again, we're from Wisconsin and I'm pretty sure that our blood is 60% dairy!

Thanks for sharing your story.

In the 1970's I was a 17yo cook in the Royal Navy, on Aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal 1100 meals 3 times a day And again in the 1980's on carrier HMS Illustrious feeding around 1000 men three times a day. I'm very good at frying egg and chips.... Breakfast is the most annoying meal as there are so many things to bring together at the same time... Fortunately our food was all delivered by Helo when we were at sea... :) Your comments about humour and sarcasm, I'm with you there. Absolutely.

More episodes like this, please! It's great to see how much goes into the day-to-day living on the boat, and really getting to see what Renee doesn't normally like to highlight... which is how much she does behind the scenes to make sure everyone is happy! Also, anyone who has watched more than a few episodes of this channel understands how much Renee and Keith both love their family. I can't imagine the lengths that Keith and Renee would go to keep their family happy. For crying out loud, one of the reasons they moved their entire family onto a boat for so long was to make sure their family remains close... physically and emotionally. Keith doesn't owe anyone an apology for his sense of humor, and it should be obvious to anyone who has watched their channel that he uses his sense of humor to keep his family happy... NOT to hurt them! Lastly, if Renee had a problem with it... nobody should have any doubt that she would have handled it with him directly, and we'd never see Keith again 🤪
