Deep Mud Adventures
Swamping, April 27
What a trip! The wind was blowing out of the north this morning, which is very unusual this time of year. We had a cold front coming in, but it was still quite warm and sunny. So, with the wind blowing the water out of the estuary, I had an exceptionally low tide that lasted … Continue reading
Swamping, April 20
I went out to the swamp again today. It’s amazing what a difference 3 days can make in the tide. I had an awesome low tide on Tuesday (April 17), and today, the low tide barely happened. I was still expecting the tide to go out for another 30 minutes when it turned around and … Continue reading
Swamping in Latex
I went out on March 30, 2012, with Heather Blake and a new pair of latex briefs. I asked Heather to shoot video, while I exercised the new latex in some thick mud. The mud I selected was just deep enough for me to pump my legs and sink up to my waist before the … Continue reading
Free Swamp Short
This is just a quick update, from the March 22 trip. As I mentioned, in my previous blog entry, I shot some video, but precious little. The result wasn’t worthy of my clip store, so I’m just adding it to my blog, here, for everyone to watch. I hope you like it. The image on … Continue reading

It’s in the Can
As they say in the movie biz, it’s in the can. We shot the claypit suspension movie today. The shoot was originally planned for Friday, but the weather was very nice today (Thursday) and the forecast for Friday was deteriorating. Most everything went to plan. We set up the suspension tripod, two cameras, and a … Continue reading
Unconventional mud, 2011-10-23
I went out mudding on Sunday, October 23. It was hard to get away. I’ve been working 7 days a week, lately. I actually had to slip out between tasks. I was lucky I could time my trip with low tide. The tide wasn’t really low, but it was low enough to expose some thick, … Continue reading
Swamping on Sept 3, 2011
Today was my first trip out into my swamp since the hurricane. I didn’t notice any major relandscaping since the storm. The tides are not very low this time of year, and today was no exception. I still took advantage of the low tide and enjoyed some deep, inviting swamp mud. I shot video, but … Continue reading
