I skinny dipped in Lake Superior. Dan did too. He was in and out in 5 seconds (shrinkage is a real thing). I made it about 2 minutes.
Estimated Water temperature is 56 degrees. I don't think I've ever been in water that cold before. Went in to my neck.
We were hoping for the northern lights and they never appeared.
Not going to one up you on cold water skinny dipping but...
Seaside Orgeon, we went to check out the goonies house and the various locations they shot the film, me and my wife. Middle of summer about fifteen years ago, when we lived in Longview, WA. The hotel was right on the beach and it was around one am, no one but people having campfires on the beach, mostly fucking were in the area, so we got horny and stupid. I mean this was the pacific, could not possibly be freezing in the summer right?
Wrong.
So very wrong. We both stripped down, and splashed into cold hell.
She only lasted a minute, I spread my arms wide and fell into the water.
I came out at a scared 9 year old boy. It was so cold it reversed my time and puberty back almost all the way to the beginning. I ran out grasping my manhood hoping it was still there.
Apparently North west Pacific is much colder than its southern sister.
I learned a vital lesson.
so we sat in the hotel's bath tub in hot water for awhile, trying not to wake up my cousin who was watching the kids.
But you and Dan are troopers, Mj. Woo for you!
