Continued to sink, felt the mud trying to suck my mukluks off, gunk from the bottom is rising to the surface with an unholy stench. How far will I sink?! Thank God for the knee-high mukluks. Following the pit stop I use my paddle as a shovel and move bushels of mud and weeds to the side, hoping to hit firm bottom at some point. A miracle I was able to get back in the kayak without capsizing or being swallowed up by the mud.

Point of my post? None, really. Just thought I would share.
Were there any crawdads singing?

Did you read that book? I really enjoyed it. No crawdads singing yesterday. But the loons were acting really loony, skittering across the water, whooping it up. Maybe the weather made them think it was mating season again.

GREAT book. Glad you had a nice day on the water.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled broadcast...

It is the same reason that the detail is limited and things like your GPS are slightly off.
