Inversion
Some Sadistic Fun
I moved the mud from my old mud pit into the 100 gallon tub so I could do this scene. I enlisted help, so I could be lowered into the mud. I was suspended by my ankles and my wrists were tightly bound. I’m pretty sure I could not have escaped, so I’m glad my … Continue reading
The Best Way to Beat the Heat
I noticed that the tide was really low, yesterday, as I was driving my dog to the vet (she got a clean bill of health, thank you for asking). I checked the tide charts and headed out this morning about an hour ahead of low tide. I could have arrived even earlier; the tide was … Continue reading
Halloween in the Swamp
I got these awesome gold pants a few years ago around Halloween when they were on sale really cheap. I wanted to find a superhero top to go with them, but I never did. I finally purchased the top you see me wearing, here, and discovered that the finish on the pants had been tarnished … Continue reading
I Got Really Muddy, Today
I set out into the swamp, today, wearing a white shirt, leather pants, leather boots, a blindfold, and handcuffs. I got lost several times before I realized that I’d have to take the blindfold and handcuffs off if I was going to find any good mud. You might say, after weeks with no mud, I … Continue reading
It was an adventure
I have some regrets, but I got a moderate low tide and no rain. I think the tide was assisted by a wind out of the northwest. I wish I had left earlier. When I arrived at the creek, the tide was already pretty low, so I lost about 40 minutes of play time to … Continue reading
A Paddle and Some Mud
Regarding the morning of July 21, 2015: It was an early morning low tide and I hadn’t been out in a while, so I really needed to go for a good paddle. My heart wasn’t in it until I got out on the water. Mornings on the creek are generally quite peaceful and the air … Continue reading
Saturday Afternoon Swamp
I could let the video frames speak for themselves. The peat was really thick, thanks to a lack of rainfall. I did a “straight” sink, which was fun, because the mud closed very slowly over my face. I got at least 10cm below the surface while I still had an open tunnel to breath through. … Continue reading
A Really Hot Day in the Swamp
I wasn’t really expecting much from the low tide, yesterday, so I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at the creek to find the tide was quite low. I arrived late, and I forgot my dry bag with my extra clothes and sunscreen, among other things. I didn’t want to load the boat back onto … Continue reading
