I moved to Florida specifically after watching the awesome vids on this channel. Love life by the bow!
That’s so awesome Bill thanks!
I’ve been following you guys for a long time now and I must say, your production quality is insane. The additional time that goes into producing something like this doesn’t go unnoticed - even from casual RUclipsrs like me. Great work!
Thanks so much Darryl!
Second that!
Third that
@@joshvetter3589 thanks Josh!
@@WoodsmanSkills thanks Robert!
This is, by far, THE BEST, video you have EVER made. The scenery is just incredible!! Thank You!!
Thanks so much Gary!
What I love about being on the water is no noise no politic no religion no hate nothing just peace and beauty
I can’t believe how perfect the sound is especially while moving on a boat! These RUclipsrs at home better step their games up!
Thanks my friend we try our best!
@@LifeByTheBow My thoughts too. Wasn't as though he was going easy on the throttle. And yet he spoke in a normal tone, not yelling.
first thing I noticed.. his sound design is solid
Those drone shots are absolutely mental. Beautiful. Nice work gang. This is living.
Thanks for watching!
as a south Floridian this is both crazy and awesome. The weather is so fickle with storms and weather conditions and growingup you hear the stories of when things go bad.this is just amazing!!.
It is an amazing trip but always come prepared in case things take a turn for the worse.
Comeon man. Maybe 20 years ago it was sketchy. Without radar and good electrics or hand held transceivers ex ya.
But ya everything is dangerous when your not prepared
We don't live in the 80s anymore. This once sketchy trip to the aging generation is now a feasible journey with everything available these days.
First time on your channel. You have the best drone footage I have see on a video. Love the low close up shots. Most people think this is to risky but you make it look easy.
Thanks so much Tim welcome aboard we post new videos every Monday!
While this trip was epic for your group, 62 years ago my dad & myself traveled from West Palm Beach to Grand Bahama Island & back in an 18 foot skiff powered by an 80HP Volvo I/O. We made the trip with another same size craft & encountered 6 - 8 foot swells along the way. My Dad wad an excellent boater & this was accomplished decades before modern electronics like chart plotters & Loran or GPS. You maybe know something about using Nautical charts & offsets for the Gulf Stream Current. You probably do not know how to use a sextant for navigation but the "old timers" did.
Sounds awesome Robert! Thanks for watching.
Man I bet that was an epic adventure!!!
Your. Pushing n g limites of maxium wavers big waves. Small boat
Being a sea lover, boater, scuba diver , fisherman and a photographer I find all I love in your videos. Super high quality content. Found your channel a week ago and I am addicted
Thanks so much my friend really appreciate it!
My head and heart is full of the magic days in my memory of West coast Fla., And the Keys, cruising perfect weather, crystal seas, fair winds, it changes everything about you, forever.
Amen to that, thanks for watching
Great video. And it was nice that you repeatedly warned people that this was not a trip for the average boater. Experience is the key.
Thanks Tony!
South Florida is such an awesome place to live for a boater and fisherman.
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for the support!
Your laughter is as refreshing as florida's water.......your body color is as clear as florida's sky........
You are the sole reason why i see these videos......
Wow I’m at a loss for words with the beauty of this video and can feel the excitement you all are experiencing as the adventure unfolds. Ty fir this gift.
Thanks so much! We appreciate it. We are happy you’re enjoying the channel.
Angel has my literal dream boat. Every single aspect of hat boat is perfection.
Hey Matthew his boat is a beauty! Thanks so much for watching my friend
I had the privilege of making that trip from Ft. Lauderdale to Bimini on a 25 ft Grady White. By far one of my best memories on a boat.
That’s great news! It such a beautiful crossing on the right day.
From the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate you guys delivering on these great videos. I absolutely enjoy them, some of the best quality I've ever seen, y'all do a great job. I'm retired now, and can't get out like I used to, have to sell everything. So once again thanks , this really makes my life better by seeing these wonderful videos of fishing, the ventures, and the scenery is phenomenal.
Can’t thank you enough Marvin, thanks so much for the kind words!
The wife and I watched your video last night and really enjoyed it. It was like a trip to the Bahamas without leaving the couch. We enjoyed the drone views and the crystal blue ocean. Thank you for sharing this footage with the world.
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the best videos I have seen on youtube, that's no joke.
Thanks Bryce! I appreciate the support!
Crossed from Largo to Bimini by sail some 25 years ago or so. Was foolhardy, but blessed with perfect weather similar to those glass conditions you experienced. Memories forever.
Happy to hear everything went well for you! Wishing you all the best!
Just the title on this episode is gonna make me want to quit my job, sell my house, and buy a boat. Curses you two, Life By the Bow!
For real
Ha ha just make sure it’s a Pathfinder Brian ! Thanks so much my friend.
You should check out Diy water worlds videos.

Amazing video Clay and Stephanie. Always learning something new with your great adventures. SMALL BOATS are short sweet and to the point 👉 Underwater footage was spectacular for Me with 🐢 🦞 🐟. Thanks for making us feel we went too. Great Group of boater too. Have great day 🌅
Thanks so much my friend appreciate always seeing your comments!
Balls of steel. Don't think I'd do this with a single engine boat. Thumbs Up!
Haha thanks for watching Brian!
Well you earned my subscription for respecting our waters bro! You are always welcome to the Bahamas! Good content!
Thanks so much!
Incredible perfect weather on that run!!
It was the perfect day to cross 👍
That water is unbelievable!
It was beautiful!
Wow that took guts but was well worth it. Thanks for taking me with you. Best, Stan
Thanks for watching Stanley!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching rest!
Ok, even though you didn’t reach out to me for that trip, that has taken it for my favorite video you guys put up. Next to the three bay boats doing the keys! Can’t wait to see the new boat and new adventure’s!
Thanks so much my friend! We had so much fun
Wow we are so lucky to have such a beautiful world the ocean is so awesome thanks for sharing your trip with us God bless!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching Dean! Appreciate you
I found your channel last winter and the summertime vibes really helped cheer me up, and reminded me of home on the beach. Now I'm deployed in the Middle East (yes it's still happening out here, OIR) and been here 6 months and it's obviously depressing...but this channel helps remind me of home and keeps me high on the summer vibes, thank you!
Man, I gotta get a boat!
Thank you so much for your service. Really happy to hear that we can provide some kind of outlet for you to enjoy while away from home. God bless & thanks for watching!
Fantastic run! Thanks for always sharing such great insight. My wife and I are hooked. We have recently gone from a 58’ Fly Bridge to a 21’ Bay Boat. We actually never took our 58 across. We would love to tag along on your next trip to Bimini. Please let us know if and when that would be a possibility. We are inspired! 👍
Thanks so much my friend also congrats on the new boat!

This had to be the same time I was in Islamorada. We chartered a fishing trip on Aug 14th and the water was so calm. It was such an incredible day on the water.
It was an incredible time Tom! When the weather is this calm there’s no such thing as a bad day…
What’s good Clay! You two are brave souls. But, you travel with God. And you are blessed by the Graces of his mercy’s! Love to you both. Keep up the content.
We love you too Mark thanks so much!
I love when you guys go to the Bahmas
We love seeing your comments thanks so much!
Great episode! Stumbled on your channel recently, and I really like the content. We're inland lake boaters, but it's on my list to try some offshore lifestyle at some point!
Thanks so much Eric got to drop that boat in the salt water sometime!
Great video, as usual. I was going to do the crossing the 8th of August but I had to get back to Miami when I was like 5 miles out. It was super rough and windy, not comfortable and somehow dangerous, even for my 320 Cobia. Keep it up!!
Hey Luis it definitely can’t get nasty! Thanks so much for watching.
I've been learning a bit about fishing lately, too, so can we talk about it?
@@LifeByTheBow your videos are like Hollywood quality. Keep it up.

A sign of a good Skipper is when they want to do something but figure it out that doing something is not Safe.
Good call.
I love the Bahama crossing vids. I think it’s so cool that you did it in your bay boat this time. It’s definitely on my bucket list to do one day. You and Steph make some of the best videos . I really love the channel. This one was so good. Glad you guys had such awesome safe conditions for your trip. Keep them coming Clay n Steph 👍💪
Thanks so much Robert a lot more to come very soon!
Just WoW!!!!! Love the video so much. One of the best, if not THE best, videos I’ve watched in a long time. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much. We really appreciate that.
The way Stephanie looks at you Clay at the beginning of the video… it’s like she knows that you got this and that you’ll deliver. My goal in life my man!
Thanks so much Ben!

Super exciting run and glad you had several other boats with you guys. Back in the 60’s we used to run to Bimini from Elliot Key too and that beautiful water is so worth the trip. Nice job under water with the bugs Clay! Videography was stellar as always… almost felt that water. 👍

Not going to lie, your little fleet going across with the drone shots looked EPIC.

Thanks so much Jake!
Hey, nice ride over. You just gave an old salt some good memories from many crossings some 40 years ago. Thanks.
Glad you liked it my friend!

Sounds like an awesome time Jeffery! Really appreciate bet support 😎
Super trip. Thanks for giving me a new bucket list item!
For sure Clyde thanks for watching!
Love watching y’all’s videos!!! So jealous watching here from Eastern North Carolina. Maybe next year I can get the family and boat to make a run like that. Kudos to you and Stephanie!
Thanks my friend!
You guys are amazing!! One day I will be purchasing my very first boat and I would love to join you guys on a trip across to the Bahamas. Stay safe guys and please keep the footage coming.
Thanks so much!
The ocean is no place for a beginner eg. Reading waves current
Wow! I am hooked....The footage was SUPER captivating and love the shots. Editing was on point and I will be watching more of your videos. (journeys) From a boat boy from MA to your FL expeditions....🤙🤙Keep it safe on the waters!
Thanks Chris welcome aboard!
Awesome! I love all of the Bahama Islands, but Bimini is right up there on my list, very near to my hometown Andros #1st.
Thanks you guys for producing such amazing videos, so glad I'm subscribed!👍
Keep doing what you love, your audience certainly appreciates being brought along on the journey!
Stay safe!

So awesome! Bucket list for sure! Can’t wait Brother! Thanks for the inspiration, stay blessed!
Always trying to inspire people to get out and go take advantage of this beautiful earth. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful video. Great trip to Bimini. I did that many times in my 21’ Seabird. My gunnels were quite a bit higher than your Pathfinder so i never gave it much thought safety wise. I did pick my weather just as you did. Great filming, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Lee back in the day 25 feet was big so it’s nothing that a little old 23 couldn’t handle!
