Swamping 2012-09-28
I haven’t had many opportunities to go to the swamp in the past month. As the full moon approached, I was trying to free up some time so I could take advantage of a late afternoon low tide. Friday was my last chance, and I ended up arriving at the water late, with only my … Continue reading
Spring tides
Ha! That title is a bit of a play on words. Since spring has arrived, I could be referring to the time of year, but we just had a new moon, so I could also be referring to the bigger than usual tides that come when the moon and sun align. Either way, the low … Continue reading

I did do some exploring, and I set up the video camera a couple of times for some short clips. Here … Continue reading
Mudding on July 23
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. The last time I went out at low tide, there was no low tide. Yesterday, there was a very good low tide.

I ventured out around 17:15 today. I was hoping to catch the low tide, but I knew, from the wind, that there might not be a low tide. When I arrived at the creek, it was obvious that the wind was pushing water up into the creek. I decided to paddle to a distant mudding … Continue reading
