Swamp Marathon

I went out an hour before low tide today, because I was pretty sure I’d have another lame low tide. I figured I’d find a good spot, set up, and wait for the mud to be exposed, even if only for 20 minutes.

Well, the tide was already pretty low when I arrived at the creek. It was lower than I’d seen it in weeks, and it was still going out. I’ve been wanting to do a swamp explorer video in my jean cut-offs and today was a great opportunity. I had packed only 2 cameras (the 2 lighter ones), and I had the wardrobe I needed in my bag.

In a cropped white t-shirt and short jean cut-offs, I set out through the swamp, in search of danger. I left the kayak by the creek and carried all of my gear into the deep swamp. The crossings were treacherous. The mud was very deep in places. I had several narrow escapes.

I wrapped up my slog-a-thon by collapsing into the mud and just disappearing into the depths. That was so much fun, I did it twice. However, even after shooting many setups and lots of struggles, the tide was still low. It was lower than when I had arrived.

I stripped down to my thong and I did some off-camera bondage that left me wanting more. I slogged my way back to my boat and spent a few minutes cleaning up, before I climbed back into my boat and headed to the peat swamp.

The weather was beginning to threaten about the time I got my boat pulled out of sight near the peat swamp. I wasn’t sure what to do, but I figured I was as safe from lightning in the swamp as I would be out on the water, so I changed into my black speedo and went into the woods to check out some peat mud.

I got rained on a couple of times while I was doing my thing in the peat. It would start raining, then stop before I could get untied. Low tide was at 11:00 am, and it was now almost 3:00 pm, so it was time to wrap things up and head back. The tide was rising pretty fast. Also, the thunder had become more distant, so it was a good time to make a break for the take-out.

The video I shot today is pretty good. It’s like a deep mud extravaganza. It is so good, it will probably be my next release. I sure hope it sells well, because I spent the lion’s share of today in the swamp and at my workstation, editing the video. It was a great day, though. It was nice to get back into the mud, and it was especially nice to have extra time to play.
