Total immersion
Super Moon
Well, the super moon did nothing to save my streak of tepid low tides. I did manage to have a short sink, but it wouldn’t have been worth the trouble if I hadn’t stopped to record some of the final segments for my documentary. You remember, the documentary that I was supposed to finish this … 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

Catching up!
I’ve been pretty busy since my last blog entry. I’m trying to keep up with work while building a new boat trailer and spending some time on the water to stay sane. I went out on June 12 with Stahr to shoot some video of her introduction to the swamp. In order to convince her … Continue reading
Another Great Low Tide
We had another awesome low tide, today. I got to enjoy some of it, but I had other priorities that cut into my time in the swamp. I did shoot a clip, today. I didn’t set out to shoot another trash collector clip, but there was trash, and I was wearing black latex briefs. How … Continue reading
