Have been watching now for months and have been impressed with The Master and Commander, Keith! His knowledge of every aspect of that catamaran is close to unbelievable. It appears that he researches every little detail to understand its function and its relation to what is before it and after it. I am 87 and retired Navy and would be proud to work around and with someone like that. God bless you Keith and your wonderful family. I will be watching for many months and, perhaps, years of your adventures. Fair winds, smooth sailing and following seas......

Hey Rene, my name is Sam, male 28. I love how excited you were for your new sink. It’s makes my heart full. I see my mom a lot in you. She passed 2 years ago and just things like this made her so happy. And I was able to do things like how Keith does for you. Anywho just wanted to share with you. Enjoy your kitchen, it came out nice. Great work.

@lemuelcasillas7572 Ай бұрын

The upgrades are impressive but I’m in awe of how your “kiddos” pitched in to help. Kate’s dive to help with holding back the water and then helping with the sink 👍🏽. Most kids won’t even lift their fingers.

@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725 Ай бұрын

they are "Kiddos" but actually the 3 of them are valued crew mates and the smooth running of Zatara is due to good leadership and the entire crew working as a team. Is good that you are working to a time when they leave the boat . Does Kate have plans to leave and go back to shore living for schooling or work?

@JosephTMeiroseIV Ай бұрын

Every boat needs a "Keith". His skillset is seemingly endless.

@elizabethandrus3848 Ай бұрын

Watching your husband work on the boat is like watching a kid with a brand new Lego set to build. He loves it, and you are trying to avoid stepping on all the pieces! I have learned more than I ever thought I would about boats from watching your channel. Love it all!

Yet another interesting video reflecting a cross section of the realities of boating maintenance. Not surprised to see Kate providing intelligent assistance to Keith, with her quiet get it done personality. She has the smarts to be a captain someday and will have accumulated a wealth of marine life skills and technical knowledge through active participation. Keith and Renee must be proud.

Renee --You might like to have a 'cutting board' made, to drop into that sink, like the dish rack... just in case you need some extra counter space (or to actually cut food), while you're not washing dishes. Keith -- I like all the cameras you added... maybe one or two at the top of the mast? Also, how long before you install a couple of pumps/holding tanks, to drain and fill the oil, at the flip of a switch, LOL?

Good onya Renee ;) Your expression reminded me quite vividly of me wife's sheer joy, after surprising her with a new sink, faucet, and countertops for our catamaran. In order to continue peace & harmony, while on passage, I must continue to remember: Happy Wife...Happy Life 😁 LOL. The sink is an absolute beaut...Nice choice. Good luck with the rest of your upgrades and maintenance. Take care and many blessings! Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺.

Great video of the progress! Sorry about the snag in fitting the engines but glad it could be overcome easily. Also glad you are working with such an attentive and accommodating group doing the work. The kitchen remodel looks really great, like that larger sink! Glad the upholstery work went well. It is amazing that after living with things for a period of time you come up with little modifications or changes that make daily life a little easier. The security camera will save a lot of steps in keeping track of all the areas of the boat again making life a little easier too. I hope that the project finishes without anymore glitches and you can be on your way out of any storms ways before the season starts. Looking forward to your next video!

I always love seeing Kate, she’s really blossoming into a lovely, polite young person and I adore seeing her interaction with Keith. It’s bittersweet to see the kids leaving the nest but it’s also great that Mum and Dad acknowledge things will be a bit different in the boat handling department now and have taken the appropriate action to update.
