We also had occasion this weekend to find this cool little inlet with lots of nature and wildlife like turtles, frogs, etc. We took the drives out and popped up the rudders. On the AI, I rolled up the starboard tramp and pulled in the ama. I split the paddle into 2 parts, and I paddled the right side, and my 11 year old the left. We really had to push over some spots, but it was all soft and mucky, so not harmful, just an effort - but worth it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cylL1f1OF5I

 If it gets any thicker, you will need a 4x4 attachment! |

Good call, send out the scout in the blue boat to check out the terrain. |

So you survived the excursion. You could have been killed jsk. You and your family braved the elements. And survived.

What a beautiful photo of your beautiful fearless wife. I think she could kick the (censored) out of any beast who happened upon her. |
