Well, it happened again. I paddled a great distance against the current (both ways) so I could subject myself to a grueling trial of man against mud. Insidious, body swallowing, sucking swamp mud, that is. Of course, it was all great fun … for the most part. I’m trying to get out on a regular basis so I can get my body back into condition. I allowed myself to get soft and now I’m paying for it.
This vlog was too long to offer it here in a format any larger than a postage stamp. Hopefully, you’ll get some insights into the trip; more than I could possibly convey in text. It was overcast, so the light was very good for video. I don’t think the sun came out even once, in 5 hours.
As I mention in the video, I did not take the torturous shortcut. Instead, I paddled the easy/long way to my special spot, then I backtracked into the shortcut so I could visit some fun mud that I usually have to slog past without exploring, because I am exhausted, and the tide is coming in, by the time I get that far. As you’ll see in this video, it’s not likely that anyone will ever follow me into that channel. It requires some calisthenics, even with a small kayak.
I’ll probably release this video in it’s full 1080p resolution in my clip store, in case anyone wants to pay to see the HD version. I also have a lot more video I could include.
Hello Doug…
By all means do a full 1080p clip with as much footage as you can include…or a couple of video clips of this adventure. Looks to be great viewing for us, your loyal followers.
I’m getting it ready for the clip store. It takes forever to get a clip edited, make a teaser/trailer and a composite promo image. 🙁
