Deep Mud Adventures
Late Season Mud
It was an unseasonably warm day, and there was a pretty decent low tide, so I set out in hopes of getting in the mud and shooting some video. I put on my Body Glove (full body wetsuit) for protection against the cold mud and water. I put jeans, boots and a shirt on over … Continue reading
End of Season Mud
Well, I went out paddling on Tuesday (November 4) after I voted in the mid-term election, and again today (November 5). Tuesday’s trip was a nice paddle, and a pretty day to be on the water, but the low tide was really lame, for some, inexplicable reason. I did wade around a bit, and found … Continue reading
A Perfect Fall Day
I put on my super-tight jeans and asked Mudwarden if he wanted to accompany me into the swamp. After updating his life insurance, he agreed to come along.

I started out shooting some scenes for my documentary. For my feature video, I paired a cropped white t-shirt with … Continue reading
A Great Way to Start the Day
I found some jeans that I can barely wriggle my ass into. I have to do an awkward little dance to get them over my hips. This morning, I put together the rest of the look. I cut off my long sleeved camo shirt, used a rope for a belt, and slipped into my diving … Continue reading
A Bad Day in the Mud is Better than a Good Day on the Golf Course
I hope I didn’t offend any golfers with my title! I went out kayaking today, around the time of low tide. I needed to do some maintenance on the creek, and I took my mudding gear, in case I could manage some time in the mud. The tide level did not bode well. If I … Continue reading
Trip Report for Sept 2
In spite of the fact that I was way too busy in the office to take time for mudding, I ventured out to see if the low tide was back to normal on Tuesday morning. As it turned out, I found very good conditions when I arrived, so I procrastinated on my office work and … Continue reading
