\"2015-06-26_slogging\"<\/a> I had to skip a day to give my sinuses a break. Between mowing grass, pollen, and getting muddy water up my nose, my sinuses can get pretty messed up. I slogged back out to the same general area, today, and the tide was very low, and I was late; d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, all over again.<\/p>\n

This time I had a plan, and I didn’t leave anything important behind. What I wanted to do was to pick up right where I left off on Wednesday (June 24). I brought a length of bamboo so I could secure myself to the submerged log by my genitals and pull myself as deep as I could go. I wrote a detailed blog entry about the predicament on deepsinkinguys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"2015-06-26_exploring\"<\/a>Before I even got to my spot, I had to stop to explore a pool of mud that I thought was rather shallow. Apparently I hadn’t explored that exact spot, because it turned out to be rather bottomless. Since I wasn’t actually ready to go under, I had to turn back and resume my trip to the designated spot. I have a GoPro video of this little detour, and I sink almost to my nipples. It’s not a bad scene, but I only have the audio from the GoPro, which is mostly useless.<\/p>\n

\"2015-06-26_prep2\"<\/a>When I arrived at the submerged log, I had to set my bamboo support in place and tie on my double-ring tightener gizmo. In the photo on the left, I’ve already got the rope secured to my genitals and passed under the log on which I’m standing. I’m about to pass the free end through the double rings so I can pull myself down, but the winding through the rings won’t let me back up.<\/p>\n

The predicament itself was intense, and it ended when the tide came in and began to cover me. The video turned out really well, but I’m not sure it will be any fun to watch, because all of the interesting action happens under the mud. Oh well. At least I got to spend almost 2 hours immersed in crazy swamp mud. I don’t know when I’ll be going out, again, but I have a few videos to edit and release, if I ever get around to them. I’ve had a lot of other work to do, this month, so it’s been a slow month for mud videos.<\/p>\n

If you read this far, there is a free teaser video from my trip on the 24th<\/a> when the audio failed on my JVC. Download it soon. It won’t be here forever. You might want to right-click and download the file. It’s in MP4 format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
