Excellent Mud Day
Some mudding days are better than others. Once in a while, the stars align so I can get on the water on-time, the weather is near perfect, and the low tide does pretty much what it’s supposed to, when I expect it to. Saturday, July 12, was one of those days. Before you get all … Continue reading
Splashdown in New Thong
I finally got back out to the swamp, yesterday. Between inconvenient tide times and hurricanes, my swamp time has been limited. I even had a great low tide, yesterday, as we’re heading for another full moon (spring tides). I have this new Tarzan thong that is a thong with front and back pieces that hang … Continue reading
If At First You Don’t Succeed …
I’m not sure why I didn’t think of it, before, but today, I cut a piece of bamboo (about 12 feet long) and took it with me to the swamp to replace the log that broke under my weight a couple of days ago. The idea was to hang, upside down, over the deep soupy … Continue reading
Back in After a Short Break
I had to take a few days off from mudding. My list of unfinished chores was getting pretty long. The turtle pond was in dire need of some attention, my grass needed mowing, I needed to repair some equipment, the house needed cleaning, and I had video to edit. The sh*t hit the fan on … Continue reading

Swamp Drama
I set out, today, to shoot a video for Andy (in the U.K.), with a cropped white t-shirt and blue speedos. I went in search of a good spot where I would be abandoned by a renegade group of natives in a a cruel bondage predicament. I wanted to have my hands tied behind my … Continue reading
Late Start
I got off to a late start, today, but it was a very nice day and I figured there was no harm in getting out, even if I missed the low tide. When I arrived, I found the tide wasn’t as low as I had hoped, but I had about an hour before it would … Continue reading
A Much Better Day
Well, today’s trip into the swamp went much better, and I had a good time. The difference was probably down to a good night’s sleep. I picked out some translucent, purple, latex briefs for this trip, and I brought my breathing tube, so I could stay under for a while. My plan was to sink … Continue reading
