The high tide this morning was only about half as high as a normal high tide, so the prospect for a low tide looked promising. The forecast was for rain, so I knew it would be a race against the weather. When I set out, the sun was shining and I expected to get 1-2 hours before the rain. Of course, I had protection for all of my gear, so I’d just have to get everything stowed and try to avoid lightning as I paddled back to my car.
As luck would have it, I had just finished my first video when I heard the thunder. Less than a minute later it started raining. I had to wriggle out of the mud, grab my camera and make a run for the kayak.
