The Polar Plunge
Took part in the annual Great Barrier Island polar plunge yesterday. I managed to stay in for the full ten minutes. Just before we all went in someone spotted a couple of fins and as we were debating sharks or dolphins, six dolphins appeared together literally surfing in on the waves. It was an amazing sight. They must have heard the noise on the beach and came close to show off.
After the plunge we were given hot pumpkin soup to thaw out.
This is the view from the house at Whangaparapara. Imagine waking up to that every morning?
