The sun was still in hiding today. I decided I had to get out for some exercise and fresh air. I put on latex briefs, my bike pants, diving boots, an insulated, long-sleeve t-shirt and my kayaking shirt over that. I was dressed to get wet and stay warm, but with all the rain we'd had lately and several hours before low tide, I really didn't expect to do anything more than paddle around.
When I got to the water, the water level was at least 12 inches above the maximum for good mudding. I didn't care, it was nice to be out on the water; in spite of the weather and high water.

I shot a few minutes of video while I explored a swampy wooded area. The video isn't very exciting, but it's different. I look pretty funny in my bike pants and neoprene diving boots.

From there, I took another short paddle and decided to do some more exploring on foot. This time I stripped down to my latex briefs and went looking for a place to have a little fun. In spite of the fact that all of the best mud was underwater, I managed to get a pretty strenuous workout and I rather enjoyed myself. Cleanup was tricky, since I was a good distance from the main creek, but I managed to get clean enough to get dressed and paddle back. After a short dip in the creek, which was surprisingly warm, I returned to the takeout just as it was getting dark. Low tide was an hour or two after dark.
