I hadn’t taken the shortcut in a long time. I wanted to take TannerQS through it, but I’m really glad I didn’t. There is no way he would have made it through. It took me 2.5 hours, yesterday and almost 100% of that time was slogging through waist deep or deeper mud. The few chances I had to paddle were very brief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started out around 16:00 and I finished my trip close to 20:00. That includes a few miles of paddling on open water and cleaning up after the muddy slog. Either way, it was a marathon and a full body workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this clip, I struggle with my boat, I play in deep mud, and I use every method I can think of to move my body and my boat towards the goal. The tide was going out the entire time I was struggling desperately to make progress. By the time I was half way through, there was very little water left in the channel, so the going got really hard. I didn’t have the luxury of waiting on the high tide, because it was getting dark. It was a really good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
