On February 20, 2016, I was back for a fourth time for the 13th Annual Portage Lakes Polar Bear Jump.
 |
It was 65 degrees that day. Well, at least the air was. The water looks a wee bit colder. |
 |
Not bad for 43, eh? And the blue beard wasn't the oddest thing at the lake that day, by far. |
 |
Work it. The beard matched the speedos. BAM! |
 |
The Leap. Even knowing what to expect cannot prepare a person for how cold that water is. |
 |
I hit the water, caught my breath, and did a flip. Then I headed for the ladder. |
|
After getting out of the water, I headed back to the beach to meet up with my folks. Except, they were looking for me at the tent. By the time we met up, I had air-dried. :) I got dressed and we all went for hot chocolate and doughnuts. |
