Looking for fellow sinkers in NE Florida

[Sinkman61]

I’m seriously interested in finding others that would love to go sinking in NE Florida, from Saint Augustine up to Jacksonville. I know some areas that have an abundance of seemingly bottomless tidal mud that’s also very private. It’s a great place to go sinking. There’s one requirement...you need to wear good foot protection that won’t get pulled off by the suction of the mud. That’s because, like most Intercoastal areas of NE Florida, there’s a ton of oyster shells that can do serious damage should you step on one. Anyhow, if you’re interested in going, shoot me an email at jbohemier61@gmail.com. For you spammers out there, don’t waste your time filling my email address with spam. I don’t use email for anything official, so your spam will simply be deleted in mass quantities.

For some reason I’m not getting emails in my in box in here. Send it to my personal email account...jbohemier61@gmail.com. Or you can call me at 904 471-2629. I screen calls and block unwanted calls, so make sure to say something when the answering machine picks up. Oh, and don’t bother texting me...it’s just a old POTS line. I wouldn’t put a phone number in here that’s of any real importance. Ask for Scott. I’ll return your call. That goes for anyone interested in going sinking with me. Just give me a call.

Low tide has has flipped back to mornings. I can go sinking on Tuesday, Thursday, or over the weekend if anyone is interested in going to my spot. Mornings are best also because it’s supp to be a rainy week. I like getting to the spot about an hour before low tide. There’s plenty of water nearby for cleanup. Call if you really want to go.

I sent an email to your gmail account on the 5th. The subject was QS Forum. Maybe it is getting filtered as spam?

I’m continuing to look for highly qualified people who have a strong desire to be trapped in deep mud and/or quicksand. Here in NE Florida we are the quicksand Mecca of the United States. We don’t have occasional spots with quicksand. We have thousands of acres, much between the Florida state line down to Cape Kennedy, with a particularly high concentration located between Jacksonville and Saint Augustine. You won’t find such a large concentration of quicksand anywhere else in the country. But this is all tidal, meaning it gets covered up twice a day, everyday with 3-5 feet of water. But it’s like clockwork. So much so, that we know exactly when it’s going to happen. And we know when it’s all going to be exposed too. It’s deep. It’s extremely sticky. It’s supercharged. And while its inherently dangerous, with some simple safety precautions, it can be perfectly safe. But, it’s NOT for beginners. Experienced mudders only please. That’s because if and when you get yourself stuck, only you can get yourself unstuck. Nobody’s going to be strong enough to pull you back out. And there’s numerous areas where rescue equipment simply won’t be able to get to you. Those interested and REALLY want to go sinking here in NE Florida but don’t know where to go can call me at (904) 471-2629 and ask for Scottie. No Trolls, no inexperienced. All incoming calls are screened. Trolls are simply blocked. DISCLAIMER: I am NOT responsible ANY for your actions when you are here in NE Florida. If you decide to enter areas known to have deep mud and/or quicksand, its entirely up to YOU to mitigate any dangers associated with sinking into such materials. It s also up to you to be able to extract yourself from even the stickiest, deepest, or thickest quicksand/mud that can be found, regardless of location. Don’t expect help because you probably won’t be getting any. There’s areas where help simply can’t get to. Be aware, this mud is subject to being covered over with tides twice a day. Failure to abide by local tide tables is your own fault. Always leave ample time to escape from an incoming tide. Plan every sinking adventure as if you were going to be completely trapped and mitigate ALL risk from that perspective. If you’re not sure that you can get yourself out, then don’t go in to begin with. Just STAY OUT. Many of these areas are for highly advanced mudders only. Be fully prepared to have to dig yourself free. DANGERS include possible drowning from incoming tides, heat stroke, dehydration, poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, alligators, infections, deep cuts and gashes from oyster shells. Other wildlife may be present. YOU MUST WEAR PROPER FOOTWEAR THAT CANNOT BE PULLED OFF YOUR FEET BY THE SUCTION OF THE MUD AND QUICKSAND. This is to protect your feet from any oyster shells or other sharp objects that you may encounter. They can cut like razor blades. Do not wear boots with heavy soles as they will create an intense suction that you may not be able to counter and/or escape from. That includes, but is not limited to hip and chest waders and knee high waterproof boots (mockers). If you wear such items anyhow, make sure you can escape from them, as most likely you’ll be leaving them behind, buried in the mud. Tennis shoes, flip flops, and other low cut shoes are NOT proper footwear when dealing with the suction created by sticky mud or quicksand. They will be pulled off your feet. Full soled wetsuit (neoprene) booties/scuba diving boots work best. Please, if and when you sink here, take everything you bring in with you back out. Please, don’t litter in our state. Leave nothing behind but your footprints. Thank you. Serious, experienced sinkers only.

If you are afraid of getting dirty, this is NOT for you.
