Happy New Year's EVERYONE!!!!!

pic- Your card is stunning!!!!   Thank you.

Laffin's post #3 is giving me a headache...

I love glitter!!!!  Pay the phobes no mind. 
  

I'll be a few hours behind you and heading into the Pacific - unless I lose my nerve which is entirely possible since it's -4 right now.  Would taking off my boot and sticking a toe in count as a "New Years Dive".

  

It wasn't that cold in the North Sea, the sea between England and the Netherlands. The temperatre was around 37 degrees fahrenheit, no wind and sunny. I  only got really cold feet and took two dives. Last year it was 28 degrees fahrenheit, no sun and a lot of wind.... even before we were able to hit the water it was really painful.

Jim, how did your dive go? And whats the water temperature there? Here it was around 3-4 degrees celcius.. which is... 40 degrees fahrenheit?

For the doubters: It's an instant cure for ANY hangover... your body simply has other priorities during and after the dive.... gone is the headache and the nasseua.
  

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve and I wish all of you a very healthy, happy and prosperous 2011.

Holy cow that was cold!  It will be about four days before I can find it to pee again.  Over all it was fun, though.  It was a beautiful sunshiny day with the sun beating out the cold.  I won't lie to you though.  I didn't get all the way in.  Just up to my waist - twice - but neither time could I bring myself to make that final plunge.
