The Mud Flat Cowboys are a brother and sisterhood of ocean adventure
kayakers located in the northeastern U.S. Subject to change without
notice, MUDCOW headquarters are located in the Passagassawakeag Bay in
Belfast, Maine.
The MUDCOW live for kayaking adventure on the ocean, trouble is we
can't always find it -- the ocean, that is. You see while we do not have
anything so glamorous as tsunami's and big surf, we on the east coast have
our own share of adversity -- a tidal range so tremendous that our
favorite put ins are often (to put it mildly) a long walk from the water..
We believe that along with adventure and exploration, swearing, grunting,
and mud are part of life fulfillment.
We are a spiritual brotherhood, organized in no particular fashion,
anarchical rather than hierarchical, with no membership lists -- but
somehow we know who we are -- and we can usually pick each other out in a
crowd. Unlike our sister organization on the left coast, we welcome
everyone in on our team. And also unlike our brothers and sisters in the
land of eternal sunshine, you can join it like you would a country
club but be forewarned, there are no golf carts, no caddies, and no bar.
We look for people who are easy-going, open-minded, adventure-oriented,
who have a good sense of humor and a penchant for adversity. (Oh heah, you
gotta like mud).

Muddling Along
The new video will take off from the original Guide video
and concentrate on skills to kayak squishy, boggy, and otherwise feculent
areas.
