I took a proper polar plunge this morning in calmer but no less colder water. It could have been on my birthday but we were still in the middle of the Drake Passage then when the water is unforgiving and deadlier.

Amazing!
You know that Orcas eat men right?
If it's only men, then I'm safe. 😄
It is unnecessary risk. Nice experience, i give you that, but why the risk? Unknown waters are unknown waters.
If i sound like a father, well... that's excellent 😀
All risk is unnecessary unless you wish to progress your life or society.
When a society moves from freedom to safety, that indicates the start of the decline in that society.
Totally understandable however, as once a society has peaked it need not worry about pushing boundaries or risk.
As a father you are doing your job, but as a child you are not going to live a full or satisfying life unless you make your father uneasy with the risks you take.
Risk is necessary in general. Sometimes it is not. That is all.
Anyway our beloved woman had a nice experoence. We will keep that
It may be a risk to you but it is an experience for me. If it wasn't here, I would still plunge in Lapland in February.
Exhilarating experience! Good on ya!
Way too cold there 🥶🥶😅 what makes it dangerous? Is it predators or water currents that could take you down or is there something else?
Time and temperature?
