I just released a silly video that was shot in the aftermath of the May 30, “I am going to die here” video. I didn’t make a trailer for this video. Hopefully the description I put on Clips4Sale describes it well enough. Here are some still frames from the video …
August 6, 2011
Today was another hot, humid day with a mediocre low tide, but I’ve been out in worse conditions. Heather Blake came along to keep me company and operate the cameras, which means I came back with some great still photos and some awesome video.
Heather hogtied me and I struggled for my life in the treacherous swamp mud (while she suffered in the intense heat, operating the camera). I had a pretty good time in the mud. It wasn’t one of my really deep spots, but I was tied up, so it didn’t need to be very deep for me to get completely covered.
Cleanup was uneventful. We packed up and headed back, since the weather was threatening to get ugly. We got rained on just a little before we got off the water. Getting rained on after mudding in the salt marsh can be a good thing.

Swamping on Aug 2
We went swamping, late on August 1, and early on August 2. Dolphin dropped in for a visit on the first, so we took advantage of the available low tides to play in the swamp. The tides were less than optimal, but we found a couple places to play. Our time window was limited to about one hour on each trip, but we avoided the midday heat, so it was pleasant, just getting out on the water.
We had Heather Blake with us, taking photos and shooting some short video clips. Heather took the photo shown here. She got out of bed at 04:00 so she could be at my place at 05:00 to join Dolphin and me for breakfast and head out with us at 06:00. We were on the water before the sun peeked over the horizon. It was pretty, but nobody should be out that early… nobody. Heather would probably agree.
The drought situation has not improved on the home front. I am hoping that Tropical Storm Emily will swing close to my coastline and bring a few inches of rain, but it doesn’t look likely. My pond gets lower and lower each day. It can’t get much lower before it will dry up completely and force the occupants to relocate or die.

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. The tides are not the most predictable thing, but I am not disappointed too often.
So, if you’ve been keeping up, you remember that, the last time I went out, I discovered a new spot I wanted to check out. Well, yesterday I explored that spot. The first thing I noticed was that it had a great area in which to set up the camera for shooting, and water for cleanup was relatively convenient. Once I got into the mud, I discovered that it got pretty thick a couple of feet down, and there was some timber below the surface that obstructed sinking in a few places. The area is quite large though, and I didn’t have the time or energy to explore all of it. I am pretty sure it will go on my mudding site list under the heading of “great for shooting an afternoon video”, because of the excellent location for setting up a camera, adjacent to the mud, where the setting sun would be behind the camera.
I did shoot a video. The stills in this post are from the video, which will probably be released in about 10 days. I still have a swamp bondage video to release before it, which will come out this week.

The drought
Well, drought conditions have caused the level of my pond to drop to the point where there is very little water left. I decided to take advantage of the low water level to clean out some of the debris at the bottom of the pond, and also to dig a little deeper in hopes of hitting some water. I dressed in latex briefs and rubber boots for this task. By the time I was finished, I was covered from head to toe in mud and dirt. I shot some video while I was working, and took some photos when I was done.

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 spot and have a look around. If there was no mud, at least I’d get in a good paddle. When I arrived at the mudding spot, most of the mud was underwater, so I paddled around and checked out a few nearby spots. I found a spot that has good potential. I’ll have to return to it when the tide is lower.
On a completely different note. We’re in the middle of a serious drought, here. I won’t be using the clay pit until nature provides some water for me to clean up. My shallow well, that I use for watering and outdoor washing, has gone completely dry, and my big pond is now just a mud puddle. Unless I install an outdoor water faucet that is connected to county water, I have no water outside. That means there is no way to rinse off the clay before coming inside to shower. I’m hoping we get some rain, but we need a lot of rain to change the situation, so I don’t expect to be able to use the clay pit in the next 2 weeks or more. What we really need is a tropical storm, or at least 5 inches of rain.
Sorry, I don’t have any pictures from today’s trip. I shot a little bit of video (about 1.5 minutes), but it was not worth sharing. I’ll be going out again, soon.

Travels
I’ve just returned from a rather long and arduous trip that started on July 4 … in case anyone was wondering where I went. I didn’t upload a new movie yesterday, but I should have one ready for next Monday. I’ve got some catching up to do in the office. I hope everyone is doing well. You people are way too quiet.
p.s. I got to meet Nessie while I was roaming in distant lands. Once I get my act together, I’ve got a picture of Heather, Nessie and me, all together.

Swamping on June 25, 2011
Heather and I went out kayaking today and the tide was unusually low, so we visited one of my deepest and most treacherous mud holes. It was difficult getting there. I pulled Heather in her boat behind me in the deep mud, and I fought off vicious, determined crabs. It was like running a gauntlet. The crabs were attacking me from all sides. Lucky for me, they’re only 3 inches tall, even with their pincers in the air. They were pretty brave little bastards, considering the size difference between us.
When we finally arrived at my sinking hole, it was great. I fell into the mud and nearly went all the way under. That spot just swallows you whole, and it has got to be my deepest spot. I’ve not yet found the bottom and I’ve gone down about 7 feet. It is well over my head. So, with Heather’s help, we shot some total immersion clips, a couple of head first dives, and a cannon ball jump that took me completely under in a great splash. It was kind of cool to be able to go completely under the mud, just by jumping in. Once I was under, I didn’t resurface without an effort.
Heather is working on editing the video clips, as I write this. She is also responsible for all of the still images in the attached gallery. I hope you guys enjoy the stills. Please leave comments with your thoughts and questions.

Movie release
The 2011-06-07 Swamp Bondage movie is now available on Clips4Sale.
Why is everyone so quiet? There haven’t been many comments, lately. It’s always great to hear from you guys, and it’s a little disconcerting when it gets too quiet. You can comment on pictures, videos, posts, and pages. Also, if you’ve had an adventure you want to share, please feel free to post and upload your pictures.
Also, I added a new photo to the Tarzan Page. It’s a shot of me, climbing around in those Italian briefs.

June 13 movie release
Today is the official release date of the May 24 Clay pit Follies movie. You can now purchase the clip in my Clips4Sale store.
I did go out to the swamp on June 11, and I recorded the following clip. It was supposed to be longer, but I failed to start the camera recording for the second segment.
Later in the day, I played in the clay pit and drank too much beer. I didn’t do anything exciting on Sunday.
