I say it was a shark for sure.

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

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.

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

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.

That sunset 🤌🏼❤

Really enjoyed this! I lived at Clearwater Beach for 7 years. I miss the sunsets and live music at Palm Pavilion. Caladesi is great as well, the beach side is untouched paradise. Thanks!!!

The sunset was almost as beautiful as Mimi. Thank you for sharing your experiences and keep up the great work😊

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

Crazy I see you going to my local store I shop there at the same Walmart and I lived on my boat in the middle of Clearwater beach marina I shop at the Walgreens in the video I just love watching your video

Really enjoyed the trip, saw Gary a bunch, honeymoon island is great , ferry boat was awesome,

Wow very exciting night ,the food 👌

Crazy seeing this on KZread when I literally grew up there and was at all of these places just about everyday.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly…..if it wasn’t for the fact that we enjoyed your singing and off off broadway performance in the car, so much, we would read you the riot act on your driving while looking at your phone! My wife and I think that if we had a daughter she would have been just like you! You are such a joy! We just love ya!

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.

Another great video. And I'm glad to meet Mimi. Never a boring moment.

Ahhh! At my birthplace and home town. Just moved to Tennessee. This makes me want to move back home again.

Definitely a shark😮😬

Such beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing!

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!

Frenchy’s is the best! Grouper is one of the best things about Florida. It’s about to be the best time of year in Florida. November and December is the perfect weather. Basically early summer weather everywhere else.

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.

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 😉

Are there phosphorescent plankton in those waters. Would look spectacular around those paddles.. ( Though at night).

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.

So I’m wondering what is your opinion on the state of Florida we have so many places but which one do you love the best and why do you like it more then the other places

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

@@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.
