General mudding
Quicksand!
Today, I revisited the quicksand. It was a fun trip, but the quicksand wasn’t very deep. It might be a good thing that it wasn’t much deeper, because I got pretty well struck, a couple of times. That sand sets pretty hard, and it isn’t easy getting it to let go, when you can barely … Continue reading
Busy, Busy, Busy
This update is a little late. I was out last week on Thursday and I stopped by my peat mud hole to see how it weathered the winter. I hadn’t really planned to sink, because it was getting late, but the peat mud looked so good, I had to jump in for a quick struggle. … Continue reading
Mostly Muddy
The weather was pretty good today. It was 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20C) and sunny. There was a strong gusty wind that gave me a bit of a chill. The low tide was amazing. It was low from the time I set out on the water until after I returned to my car. That was about … Continue reading
Exploring
The weather forecast today was for rain and thunderstorms, but it was looking pretty safe around 10:00 this morning, and low tide was around 11:00. I figured I wouldn’t get time to play, but I wanted to have a look around and take a short stroll through the bog, if nothing else. The weather was … Continue reading

Warmer Weather has Arrived
The weather has warmed significantly in the past 10 days. I ventured out, yesterday morning, to clear some log jams in the creek, and slog around a bit in boots and tight jeans. I wasn’t ready to dive into the bottomless mud and swim in the cool water to clean up, just yet. It wasn’t … Continue reading
Late Season Mud
It was an unseasonably warm day, and there was a pretty decent low tide, so I set out in hopes of getting in the mud and shooting some video. I put on my Body Glove (full body wetsuit) for protection against the cold mud and water. I put jeans, boots and a shirt on over … Continue reading
End of Season Mud
Well, I went out paddling on Tuesday (November 4) after I voted in the mid-term election, and again today (November 5). Tuesday’s trip was a nice paddle, and a pretty day to be on the water, but the low tide was really lame, for some, inexplicable reason. I did wade around a bit, and found … Continue reading
