(Emma) As we pull into the rocks at the “jumping site” I am starting to shiver. I am shivering because I have a decision to make. Should I jump off the 30 foot cliff into the 43 degree water; or should I stay dry? You might think I am stupid, but I am. I chose the first option. To jump.
It is my turn to jump. The man starts to count down; 5,4,3,2,1, JUMP! I got my nerves and took a giant stride into the water; just as he told me to do. As I start to plunge toward the water I am feeling like a maniac! What am I doing? Jumping into VERY cold water!
Then my body starts to shift. I am turning into a sitting position. As my butt connects with the water I start to freeze! The water is cold and I just want to get out! So in the end I do and it is all fine. And right now I am sitting in a loft nice and cozy in my down coat. It turns out that even when you are cold you will be able to warm up; even if it might take awhile! Here’s the video:
