Polar Bear Swim 2007


It's official. I did it. I didn't want to say anything for fear that I might not do it. But I did. It was cold and very wet. Raining and the waves were something. The theme was "Tropical" so I dug out my hat from Mexico, put on some parrot paraphernalia I had, but then ended up covering it all up with hubbies housecoat.....want to see a silly picture?



There I am in my hat and orange skirt...don't I look warm!!!




It's now official time to go in!!!!!




And now without further adieu Polar Bear swim 2007

LOL Oh my..... crazy.... couragous! My hubby did one in Halifax on a business trip and he's been begging to do another ever since. Unfortunately (considering the very elderly population in the area) the one closest to us is at a Naturist Beach (Crescent Rock), so I think I'll pass! kudos to you!
