Midwinter Madness by maggiemae

Midwinter Madness

They are crazy! But seem to be having a lot of fun. About 30 people braved the winter sea to win prizes and be part of the event. One guy was out within 5 seconds, others were in for over 10 minutes! This guy with the pink parasol had no wet suit or T shirt and he was splashing this group! I caught his mischievous face on another shot but this is where he started to splash!
Got to love it!!

Looks like fun!

why would you do that? we wear wetsuits when the sea temp drops to 20°c and even then it is too cold!! :)

Totally mad capture, a bunch of people did that in Hobart recently - all nude.

@tonydebont good grief, Tony though that wouldn't be quite so bad as I saw recently on 365 in England - nude cycle rallies!

Too cold for me.
June 25th, 2013  
What a great crowd
June 25th, 2013  
that will certainly get your heart going.

Crazy but fun .....love the fun they all seem to be having.....I can't see you in there maggiemae!!!
Funny we were checking the weather in Glasgow on Sunday evening for our trip the following day & the day time temp in Glasgow was the same as the day time temp in Hamilton NZ. Yours in the middle of winter & ours in the middle of summer!!! Something wrong somewhere!!

I've done a polar bear swim, but we only had to dip and get out ; ) Fun shot, Maggiemae.

Brrrr! Even as a hardy Scot, that sends chills down my spine :-)
