Thanks for the shark votes, everyone!! She refused to believe me the entire trip 😑

@TheOaksHeart2024 5 месяцев назад

I say it was a shark for sure.

@LukeAndersson1 Год назад

That was a shark, you could tell by the back fin moving side to side rather than up and down. Totally a shark. Cool!

@user-David-Alan Год назад

You are becoming a Florida girl! All tan and enjoying the great outdoors. Three things I want to remind you of when kayaking. I know it's like having another dad. Always have a life jacket with you, have a whistle, and check the tides before you go up in the mangroves. I know people that went in and got stuck because to tide went out. They had to wait 8 hours before the water got deep enough to come back out. The beach at night is awesome. Hope you had fun and yes, a shark.

@kellyhays23 Год назад

These are great things to remember. Always appreciate your comments and advise David!

@irelage7646 Год назад

Kelly I bought a Cresent Ultralight. Your videos are inspiring. Would you do a video of your setup both kayak and camping? You are a gifted videographer and editor.

I spent first 35 years of my life in Clearwater so this is fun. I can delete several lame vids off my phone since your vid is superior & covers so much. If you kayak there again know that there are several spoil islands from channel dredging through there that have beach & trees that you could camp on. Eat at the original Frenchy’s & get the grouper cheeks & a Reef Donkey beer. The Beach Fire has good seafood too. Thanks for putting living mollusks back in the water.

Used to go to Tate’s all the time. Such good food. Grouper sandwich is amazing. Kaia is amazing. Stoped in there almost every morning for breakfast. And I used to work at Frenchy’s . Lol Glad to se you enjoyed my home town where I grew up and lived. This video makes me miss it a lot.

@maxrun934 Год назад

Ok. Mission accomplished......ate the grouper sandwich at French's rockaway ...... Thanks for all you do. , showing new places and trips.

@marlysmithsonian5746 Год назад

There is an island out that way that you can only get to by boat or kayak. You CAN camp on it but that is the only way to reach it. You should try to find out about it! Have you gone to any of the springs near Ocala? There are some east of Ocala that we loved when we lived there! Salt Springs is amazing and those crabs reminded me of it, lol. This is so awesome I live south of Clearwater now but considering moving a couple miles from that causeway. What do you think? Do you like that area??? Oh, that was NOT a dolphin. They swim in swimming areas in Indian Rocks Beach and their fins are different, manatees swim with us too at that beach. Enjoy yourself!

I love clearwater beach! And we have the best sunsets here on the gulf side. Caladesi Island is also an awesome place, glad you found it to explore. You should check out Chassahowitska River and campground. You can hang out at the 7 sisters spring heads and if you're feeling adventurous, you can make your way to The Crack, which is a spring vent.

@joemeloche277 Год назад

Kelly I’m am so excited that you were able to come to Clearwater Beach, Dunedin causeway (which leads to honeymoon island), Caladesi Island, and of course Frenchys (hope you had their “she crab soup”) I live just north of there by five minutes in Palm Harbor. What did you think of the white sand? Oh by the way yes that was a shark 🦈 did the sand dollars turn your fingers yellow? 😂 I’ll admit it is so cool seeing my home town on your videos… would have loved meeting you and saying hello. Be careful of those lighting storms they can be nasty the good things is they don’t last to long. We joke that it could be raining on one side of the street and not on the other… Glad you were able to experience are beautiful area. Joe M

@southerngirlyall6497 6 месяцев назад

Do you think my inflatable kayak would be OK from the causeway to Caledesi?

@TheAdventuresOfDougan Год назад

The ‘little birds’ were most likely Sand Pipers, the bigger birds were, of course, Sea Gulls. It’s illegal to ‘take’ (ie catch) certain Groupers. Some can grow as large as 500 lbs, and the bigger they are, the older they are, so, most spear or pole fishermen (and women) tend to steer clear of Grouper. Wouldn’t hurt to ask your server who they buy their seafood from, and check them out 😉

@timfields6130 Год назад

@@kellyhays23 That was a shark. To make sure, I watched video on 52" screen. The color and shape of main dorsal fin suggest Spinner shark (overall harmless to people), plus note the second dorsal fin moving side to side. Dolphins do NOT have a second dorsal fin. Right now Florida is loaded with them, especially this time of year during the mullet migration. Our sharks in Florida do move up into the shallow waters. I've been catching (and releasing) them in the backcountry just an hour north of Clearwater. This was an awesome video.Keep up the great content and enjoy yourself here in my Native Playground. I do have one request and I'm sure others will agree, please stop playing on your phone while driving. We'd all like to keep you around.

@TheAkashicNomad Год назад

@@timfields6130 sounds like you know what’s up! I didn’t go to the extra trouble to check a large screen etc. 👏 as Kelly says, “RU-vid knows all!” It looked like 2 fins, and I figured 2 dolphins swimming side by side. Plus, have seen tons of dolphins in the bay and around tampa bay etc. (I’ve lived in tampa bay for 11 years or so 😊) Heard of spinner dolphins, not spinner sharks. Cool. Learn something new everyday! 🦈

BIG SAND DOLLARS !

@jamesadams2334 Год назад

Kelly don't go into the water after dark. Tampa Bay is the second largest shark breeding ground in the world. Only the Great Barrier Reef is bigger. 1 foot of water is enough to get attacked. They come into the shallows at night to feed.
