    Clay-- I hope you realize what an absolute treasure you have in Stephanie. She is beautiful, positive, intelligent and shares your passion for the water. Treat her with respect and tell her you love her every day and you two will have a wonderful life to share.

    What a magnificent video. Of all the fine segments you have brought… this is the most compelling and memorable. I grew up down there and dove there often before the statue was placed but have not seen it in person. You have shared an amazing connection between God and the beauty of the ocean he created. As an old commercial diver, I felt this connection every single time I went under water and got back in the boat. Your knowledgeable comments and respect were wonderful . I am very grateful for the memorable peace you have shared here you two. You made me feel there again. Bless you both.

    This was an AWESOME video. Love the words with the background music and felt it. REALLY FELT IT! I thank God for my presence still here on earth after several illnesses... I'm so grateful. Hopefully, soon can own my own boat to have memories like these with my family as well. Thank you for your videos. I love them all!!! Blessings for both!

    Brings back memories! Our family bought a marina in Key Largo in 1970. It was Jack Daniels marina in the 60s. We changed in to Paradise Isle Marina in the 70s. Now it's Jules Undersea Lodge. I ran snorkeling trips to tourists out to the statue and several Pennycamp reefs. Miss those days life was much simpler in the Keys then. That Beach looks like Nest Key? Enjoying all the videos, keep up the good work!

    I really enjoyed seeing footage of Key Largo and the underwater Jesus statue! Other than snorkeling tours back in the day, I haven't seen much beyond route 1. It was very interesting to watch. The beach looked very serene as well. Type of place you leave with lower blood pressure lol You get my vote for more content on this area! Love to see more content on islands and sandbars in the lower Keys as well. Thanks for sharing another great episode! It was top notch as always

    Grew up in S Florida, and in high school in the late 60s, went out on friend’s family trimaran weekly, in that same area. Caught fish, snorkeled. One of my fondest memories and you two are bringing it back! And later, in 70s, canoed with friend twice in the Everglades from Flamingo to Cape Florida. Camped there and fished for our dinner. Mangrove snappers. No mosquitos. A win! Would love to see some fishing off of Cape Florida although I have no clue about water quality.

    Clay and Stephanie
    Growing up in S Florida (now in Atlanta) fishing canals for Snook and baby poons, fishing on party boats crammed in like sardines and bridge fishing from Largo to Duck Key, buying a little 13 ft Whaler at 15 yrs old, tooling around and fishing the flats around the islands with no navigation, no cell phones and a quarter to call my Mom on Sunday to pick me up, I never had the opportunity to dive the Statue. Now as an adult, yalls video touched me in a way that brought back those childhood memories and inspired me to grab another couple, rent a house down in the Keys and hunt down that Statue. We are planning a late April early May trip. Thanks for the awesome footage and sharing your experience ❤️

  • @meddude1959
    @meddude1959 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    GREAT videos! I enjoy what y’all are showing very much. You were asking about “content” and what we’d like to see you show on the channel. As an OLD Scuba Diver, I’d like to see some more content on diving & Dive sites in your area of the Florida Keys. Who knows, I might just find myself in the Keys with my family in the future.
    I never was a Successful fisherman. But I’ve never been able to catch the type and variety of fish Clay & Stephanie show in the videos. Keep up the WONDERFUL job y’all are doing with the channel and please keep the videos coming!

    Hello guys! First I want to start by saying your film making ability is off the chart!! Cinematography, editing, angles, etc. is just awesome!! I love to enjoy adventures like that with my wife & “camped” on the boat by Elliot Key many times. We live in Key Largo full time now after moving from South Dade, but I am not familiar with that island. I wound love to know where it’s at. However, I understand if you don’t want to “make it public”. How about a hint though. Keep it up guys. You might get your own show! Tight lines.

    • @pokinatchapunkrawk
