Total immersion
The Best Laid Plans
I ventured out to the swamp, as planned, this morning. My destination was the really deep, not-so-thick mud spot that is only available at extra low tide levels. I wasn’t sure, when I got on the creek if I’d be able to play there, but I went there to have a look, and it was … 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

Back to the Swamp
I went into the swamp, today. I brought my new camera guy, and I wore a new pair of metallic blue swim trunks. In preparation for this trip, I did something a little different; I shot some video, while I was getting things ready, and I had camera guy shoot some video when we arrived … Continue reading
Exploring, Day 2
On Sunday, April 27, I ventured out to Hunter’s Creek, alone. I went out several hours before low tide, so I put in several miles upstream from the mud spot and paddled further upstream, just beyond a beaver dam. The scenery above the beaver dam was spectacular, and the wildlife was abundant. I got out … Continue reading
Three consecutive days of mud
I don’t even know where to start. You probably saw my previous post from Friday’s adventure. I tried again on Saturday, but this time I took my professional audio gear to deal with the wind. Saturday was a rough trip; my toes got so cold in the mud that they were pins-and-needles for at least … Continue reading
