Deep Mud Adventures
Quicksand!
There is nothing quite like jumping into soupy, bottomless mud, with a 35 pound lead weight in tow. I’m probably lucky I didn’t just go right under. This all started when I remembered, at the last minute, that I wanted to catch the low tide at 16:00, today. It was already 16:00 when I remembered. … Continue reading
Really short sink
The moon was full and I was hoping for one last muddy adventure before the tides slipped into darkness. I expected an exceptionally low tide, but when I arrived at the water, I saw that the prospects were not good. Once I got out onto the water, I encountered a stiff wind, blowing up the … Continue reading
Inversion in Mud
Cleaning up after yesterday’s experience got me to thinking. I’ve been doing this total immersion, and inverted immersion for a long time. I’ve had a few problems with mud getting into places where it does not belong. Going under while inverted is particularly hazardous to the sinuses. You can keep mud out of your ear … Continue reading
More swamp bondage
My last trip into the swamp left me lusting for a repeat performance. I’ve been pretty busy, but the new moon was tomorrow and my window of opportunity was about to pass. The wind seemed to be shifting from the south to the southwest and even all the way to the west at times. The … Continue reading
2012-07-14 Swamp Bondage
I have been wanting to do some bondage in the mud for the past month. Today was a very nice day for an outing. The tides was not really low, thanks to a moderately strong wind out of the south. However, I don’t need a really low tide to play in the woods, so it … Continue reading
July 4 mudding
Conditions were very good for swamping on July 4. We had a full moon, so we had a very low astronomical tide a few hours before sunset. It turns out that the wind was also cooperative, so the tide really was low, and it stayed low for a long time. The bad news was that … Continue reading
A rather short excursion
It was really hot today. I drug my feet and got out to the swamp towards the end of low tide. As it turned out, there was also a storm moving in, so I had to do a quick in and out. Biting flies are a bitch on a normal day, but in the hour … Continue reading
2012-06-08 – What a day!
The day didn’t start out so well. I got up at 06:00 to get ready for a video shoot with a model. She was supposed to arrive at 08:00. When nine o’clock rolled around and there was not sign of her, I tried calling her but got no answer. I had to assume she was … Continue reading
Great day for mud fun
When I got up this morning, I wasn’t sure if it would be warm enough for mudding by the time the tide went out. I tackled some heavy yard work after lunch. When it came time to get ready to pack for the swamp, I was overheating, and I was ready for a cool dip … Continue reading
Outtakes
The weather has been cool and cloudy here for over a week, now. Fortunately, I have lots of mud video to edit. Today, I spent some time putting together the out-takes from the April 27 clips. I tried to keep them short, so I could offer the clip for free, but I’m still not sure … Continue reading
