Rainy Season
Looks like we’re entering the rainy season in my swamp. We’ve had rainy weather the past few days and we have rain forecast for the rest of the week, at least. Once the ground is saturated, like it is now, the creek rises quickly when it rains and takes a long time to drop. That … Continue reading
Wind and Water
I’ve been trying to go out in my kayak all week, but low tide has been in the morning, and I’ve had business to tend. I finally got out this morning, although low tide had shifted to just after 10 a.m., so it was more like a midday thing. As these things often go, the … 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
The Plan Fell Through
I set out, today, with a plan. I had dragged a waterlogged log to where I could use it to span a pool of deep, soupy mud for a bondage adventure. I used the log to assist me in crossing some mud on my way to the spot I had selected (top left photo). The … 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
Return to the Newport River
The clock was ticking, and there was still a lot to do before I could leave the house. Low tide was at 3:30, and it was already 3:00. I wanted to go back to the Newport River to play in some of that awesome river mud. I also had to stop at the bike shop, … Continue reading
Heavy Mud
I have been out sinking twice in the past couple of days. I’ve also been shooting video. I’ve just been too busy to edit anything, or blog about my experiences. On Friday, the excitement was mostly under the mud, so I’m not sure how much video I’ll be able to use from that trip. I … 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
