It was really hot today. I drug my feet and got out to the swamp towards the end of low tide. As it turned out, there was also a storm moving in, so I had to do a quick in and out. Biting flies are a bitch on a normal day, but in the hour or two before it rains, they are vicious.
I slogged around in a convenient spot, and I got in up to my chest in some bottomless mud before I decided to pull myself out. I adjusted the camera and went back in for a couple of minutes. Once I got out, I went into the muddy channel to get just a little cleaner so I could slip my jean shorts back on before making the hike back to my boat. The sky was getting ominous, so I didn’t waste any time getting cleaned up and loading my gear for the return trip. Once my boat was loaded and I was making headway, I took a few minutes to watch the weather and take a couple of photos. It’s a good thing I didn’t hang out much longer, because it got really ugly about 30 minutes later. Fortunately, I was back home before the wind kicked up and the sky turned black.
We got about an inch of much-needed rain, so I’m not complaining about that. I ended up with about 7 minutes of video of me in my red latex briefs. I can’t get enough of those briefs. 🙂
