Polar Bear Plunge

We celebrated the new year at the Auke Village Recreation area, watching a bunch of crazy people take a dip in the ocean. I've heard of people doing this, but I'd never seen it before. What a riot! Are they a bunch of brave people? Or just insane? When we left our house, the thermometer read -5F (yes, that's correct - NEGATIVE!!) The water was in the low 40s. Insane, indeed.

Ready, set, go!

Holy cow!

Yikes ! I'm outta' here ! ! !

This is how civilized people dressed that day.

Happy New Year everyone! May you get out there and do something crazy every now and again!
