I had to go back to the swamp today because I thought I left a piece of gear out there on April 4. It turns out that I did not, but the low tide lasted a long time, so I had time to explore some more and shoot some video. The tides are in a low pattern because the winds haven’t switched back to the south since the recent cold front. The wind was cold, but the temperature was very inviting today. As long as I wasn’t standing around with a wet body, I was fine. I’m pretty sure, once the prevailing summer winds take over, I won’t have such great low tides to play in, so I’m trying to enjoy them while I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I shot a dozen or two clips on my GoPro as I explored, or tried to explore some new places. I didn’t get far because I kept encountering really deep mud that I couldn’t cross with all my gear. I like to leave my gear in my kayak and drag it behind me but the water was too low for that to be a practical option. I ditched the kayak and discovered that I was literally surrounded by bottomless mud. I’m sure you can imagine how that made me feel. <wink><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This free video clip is a really fast edit; by “fast”, I mean that I only include a short portion of each GoPro shot … there is a lot more and some of it is pretty good. Sadly, the GoPro seemed to catch a lens flare in 2 out of 3 shots. I’m not sure how I could get so lucky; I guess the sun was very high in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
