Today looked like I could find some mud if I was creative and timed it just right. I did what I could and I shot some video. I even managed to do my first total immersion scene of 2023 (unless you could my polar plunge dive on Jan 2 &#8230; which wasn&#8217;t really an immersion scene).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vlog below, takes you though most of my trip. When I first arrived at the creek, I had some time to kill as the tide was still going out and it wasn&#8217;t nearly low enough, so I posed for some video in my newly tailored denim shorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, I went to a spot that I knew would not be under water at the current tide level, but I had to clear debris and water from the spot before I could sink (all covered in the video).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next I changed into a red, PVC brief and did a desperate, feet-first, total immersion. The video only has a brief clip of me, coming back up after going under. That&#8217;s about where the camera battery decided to give up and I didn&#8217;t have enough going on to bother finding another battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry the scenes are so short, but I had to limit the video to 2 minutes. It&#8217;s still better than a handful of still frames; just not as much resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls poster=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-13_denim-poster-frame.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-13_vlog540p.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The low tides have been shamefully inadequate, this week.
