went for a late morning cold plunge at local recreational beach cove. the wind was blowing pretty good on the other side of the cove creating 1.5 meter waves. on this side it was calm, very beautiful.
I wasn't alone as number of people were walking the same beach. seabirds were also hanging out. the water temp 6°c, air was 3°c, which is pretty mild this time of year.
the group left the beach at same time I entered the water. they stopped their vehicle at my shelter watching with surprise. I waved to them, they waved back, laughing they drove off.
started my prayer, body relaxed, the distant snow flurries made its way to the cove. turned my face skyward to feel snow landing on water. seabirds and gulls appear to relax coming closer. after 6 mins decided to head for the beach, dried off.
hung out for two minutes in my dry robe. warmed up doing jumping jacks, few push ups, running in place. ravens hopped on top of the shelter to watch me, they seem amused.
went back in water for additional 2 mins. finished with complete head immersion under the water. began to shiver, time to get out. got dressed, packed up wet clothes, headed to the car.
won't get too many opportunities to do late morning plunges. grateful for holiday schedule away from work. drove to local coffee shop, finished warming up over a cup of tea planning next outing.
