The tide was still going out when I arrived and it stayed low long enough for me to get immersed in one of my favorite spots. When I arrived at the spot where I leave my kayak to hike to the mud hole, I realized I hadn&#8217;t been there in a while and the swamp grass had overgrown my paths. I had to spend some time cutting back the grass so I wouldn&#8217;t get cut up too badly. The hand I use to hold my machete got lacerated in multiple places. The blood was dripping from my thumb for several minutes after I finished. I should probably go back out there at least once more before the grass grows back, to make it worth the blood loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once I got set up to record my messy adventure, I dove right into the muck, head first. I did two more dives before I returned to more conventional activities.
