New Years Day Penguin Plunge

Do you know the muffin man? Yes? Well do you know the Peguin Plunge? It is an annual event that takes place in deep cove at 2pm every New Years Day. Over a thousand people show up dressed in the most ridiculous costumes. There were vikings decked out in all the viking gear (i mean like everything... they had the horns, swords, and furry cape like things) there were two dudes dressed as massive advent calendars complete with candy! (they gave out the candy to little children.. which may have been a little creepy.. just imagine "Hey there little boy, do you like my costume? Im an advent calendar, open this little door and you'll find candy inside! kid: Thats what the last guy said..) The water is just above freezing, which was refreshing. As I jumped in i started to hyper ventilate and any time my mouth was in the water I would take in huge gulps of sea water.. good times. There is always an unofficial competition duing this event, the competition is who can make it through the treacherous waters to be the first to reach the infamous dock of doom. Because I had to swim with a camera and tuque, it gave others a chance to win. I came top 15 nonetheless. WATCH VID!
