Exploring
Damn Flies
I went for a sunset paddle on July 21. I thought it would be fun to visit a mud hole I haven’t been to in a years, take some photos, shoot some video, and also enjoy a nice long, late-day paddle. Unfortunately, the biting flies were too much for me to enjoy my stay in … Continue reading
A Windy Day in the Swamp
With an impending full moon and no recent rain, the afternoon low tide was likely to be pretty low. The wind was blowing pretty hard, which threatened to create a wind tide, but I figured it would be nice to go for a paddle, even if I couldn’t find any mud. The wind turned out … Continue reading
April 17 Vlog Entry
Yesterday (April 17) the weather was mild, but the wind was chilling. I hadn’t been out in a while, so I really wanted to get out on the water and get some exercise, if nothing else. I took one camera and a tripod, some warm clothes, my water bottle, and my blue, PVC shorts. I … Continue reading

What Doesn’t Kill You …

Returning to the Beginning
Yesterday, I set out on an adventure with the goal of locating a spot I had last visited when I was still shooting on a VHS analog video camera (over 20 years ago). In my past exploration, I hadn’t been able to find a location without a lot of timber that made sinking nearly impossible … Continue reading
