🚨 NEW EPISODE LIVE ON OUR YOUTUBE TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY 🚨
This one has been a long time coming...
After buying Walu in New Caledonia, it was finally time to bring her home to Fiji. What followed was a 730-mile, 7-day passage full of challenges, setbacks, laughs, and more boat problems than I care to remember.

Sail drive issues, stripped controls, broken reefing lines, fuel leaks, blocked tanks, days of no wind, and arriving in Fiji with just 20 litres of diesel left in the tanks. To make things more interesting, two of the crew had never sailed offshore before.

There were also some incredible moments along the way... swimming over 3,000m deep ocean, catching fish, watching the crew grow in confidence, and finally arriving in Fiji to the sound of the famous Fijian welcome song.

Fair warning... this episode is over an hour long 🍿😅
Grab a drink, put your feet up, and come along for the ride.
⛵ 730 Miles 🌊 7 Days at Sea 🔧 20 Problems 🇫🇯 One unforgettable arrival

We're nominating our husband, dad, and captain, Clay, for .

The funny thing is, searching through the files we haven't found too many epic photos of him. He's usually behind the camera, documenting the stoke of everyone else.

Many years ago, put his own dreams on the sidelines to raise four boys to become watermen. He believed that if he wanted to teach them a life connected to the ocean, he had to immerse them in it. So he moved our family across the world to the South Pacific.

Not because it was easy.

Not because it was comfortable.

Because out here, being salty isn't a hobby. It's a way of life.

He creatively found ways to work, took risks, left certainty behind, and built a life where our boys learn respect for the ocean, fishing, surfing, sailing, hard work, resilience, and adventure every single day.

If you really want to know whether a dad is rad, don't look at the dad. Look at his kids. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Today, those four boys are growing into the kind of young watermen that make us incredibly proud. Not because of trophies or followers, but because of the values their dad lives every day.

Clay grew up looking up to the Hobgood brothers(salty crew founders), fellow Brevard County legends. He never imagined one day he'd be raising his own crew of salty kids on the other side of the world.

Take a scroll through our page or check out our YouTube channel and tell us what you think.

Is Clay a Rad Dad or what?

Happy Birthday to the Queen of Walu ❤️

No fancy gifts. No restaurants. No crowds.

Just exactly what she wanted...

Fresh fish, a quiet beach, a bucket for shell hunting, and an afternoon exploring with the boys.

Calvin and I managed to put dinner on the table, while Mum and Silas disappeared down the beach on one of those long walks that seem to make time slow down.

After all these years of adventures, one thing hasn't changed — it's the simple things that make her happiest.

Happy Birthday babe. Thanks for being the heart of this crew and saying yes to this crazy life with us.

❤️⛵️🌴🎣

Got tired of boat jobs, saw the fishing charters heading out with no clients… so I seized the moment.
“Hey you guys going fishing?”
“Yup.”
“Sweet… I’m in.” 😂🎣
Peace out fam ✌🏽
4 hours later I came back with my first yellowfin tuna and the owner sold it straight to Cardos Steakhouse in Denarau 😳🔥
What a day.
Take advantage of opportunities when they show up people… yewww 🤙🏽

Somewhere deep in the Yasawas… where the water still glows blue, the clocks don’t matter, and the only traffic is reef fish and passing squalls. 🇫🇯🌴

Hard to believe places like this are real sometimes. 🤙🏽

First fish to hit the deck of 🐟🔥

Although I didn’t reel this yellowfin in… (compliments to ) I did gaff it and eat it, so I reckon that still makes me worthy of a photo 😂🙌

Stoked to get some blood on the decks of the new boat, a tail slapped broken metacarpal and even more pumped to get the boys onto this action soon. 🤪🌊

Cold winter night in Orlando chasing invasive species with bows… and Nelson ended up landing an absolute monster freshwater catfish 😳🔥

Definitely one of the funnest nights we’ve had in a while. Go check it out on YouTube now! 🤙🏽

Photo of the boys with our Cloud 9 family ❤️🌊
One of the most amazing things about this lifestyle is that you don’t just make new friends… you make new family. From sharing resources, laughter, meals, and adventures, the connections made along the way become something truly special.
For us, that’s exactly what we found here at Cloud 9 — one of the most unique restaurants and bars in the world, floating in the middle of the ocean, held in place only by chains to the sea floor. An unreal place made even better by the incredible people who call it home.
What makes every destination in Fiji so special is always the people, and the crew here are no different. Vinaka vakalevu to our Cloud 9 family for always making us feel so welcome. 🙌🇫🇯

Packed up… again.
Flying back to Fiji with everything we’ve got — the whole family.
This one hits a little different…
photos full of gear, chaos, and the people that made this place hard to leave.
Season 1 was all about figuring it out — the wins, the setbacks, the lessons.
Season 2… new year, different boat, different perspective.
Let’s go 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Stay tuned, season 2 on the youtube is coming in hott
