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 3 hours, and it was really low, too! I’m afraid that doesn’t happen often, and sadly, I didn’t take full advantage of it.
This past winter turned me into a wimp. I just didn’t want to be cold. So, I explored the spot I wanted to explore and I slogged through some rather deep mud. I sank in just past my navel, and I had a good struggle. I shot video of most of my adventure, using just the GoPro. I was on the move the entire time, so it was impractical to set up the Nikon and the audio recorder. Which means the audio in the video is muted. The gusty wind would have messed with the audio, anyway.
The spot I set out to explore wasn’t very deep. It sure looked good, but it varied from knee deep to upper thigh deep.
I’ve already edited the GoPro video, and I must say it’s pretty sexy, even though I only sank up to my waist on camera. There was some good struggling, as I dragged my boat through some thick, deep mud, and there are some good muddy-crotch shots. I’ll probably release the video soon, because it’s the first one of the season.
