June 12 Trip Report

I got off to a late start, today. It was a work day, after all. I arrived at my sinking hole at 17:45 (5:45pm) and the tide was really low. I expected a low tide the day after a full moon, but I wasn’t sure about the exact timing. As it turned out, it was nearly perfect. The tide didn’t start coming in until the sun was about an hour from setting, which is my cue to get cleaned up and off the creek.

I took my breathing tube and my lead weight. I was intent on doing a weighted sink with just enough bondage to make it feel dangerous. Technically, sinking with a lead weight tied to your body is inherently dangerous, but I wanted it to feel dangerous. In this case, I started out with my wrists tied behind my back. I let the weight pull me completely under before ending that one.

I went back in with my ankles tied together and the breathing tube to enable me to stay under for a while. That also went well, but I must say that having my wrists tied behind my back felt like the more dangerous of those scenarios.

After my weighted sinks, my action cam had 17% battery and about 5 minutes left on it’s SD card. I was really in no place to change out the battery and the SD card, although I had spares with me, so I recorded a couple of head-first dives and turned the camera off for my remaining time.

After the camera was off, I did two more weighted sinks and I went completely under while I struggled vigorously against the rope that was linking me to the heavy weight. It was a really good time. I’ll be a little sore where I had ropes wrapped around my genitals. I tugged pretty hard on those ropes and they got pretty tight, but I got so horny, it was definitely worth some minor rope burns.
