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
May 14 Mud-Break
I started making a video blog about this trip, but my narration just sounded corny. I went out today because the tide was looking like it might get very low and I needed a break from my demolition project. The weather was a mild 70F/21C with a light breeze.

October Tide Levels
