Itilleq<\/a>, Greenland. Population 89.<\/p>\n

Initially, our ship Vega<\/em><\/a> planned the polar plunge off the beach at Itilleq<\/a>. However, the low tide made it impossible – the shells are too cutting. So, after they scouted a few other possible sites (all have the same problem), they called it off.<\/p>\n

Irene is NOT giving up.<\/p>\n

“Let’s go back to the ship and jump off there.”<\/p>\n

Plunge is plunge, not walk into<\/em>. Beside I don’t think walking into<\/em> freezing cold water is appetizing, nor feasible.<\/p>\n

An hour and an emergency meeting later, they announced that at 5:30, polar plunge will commence, from the ship.<\/p>\n

HOOOOOray, we let out a huge cheer at the pool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>THANK you Sarah Scriver<\/a>, thank you captain, and thank everyone who made this possible.<\/p>\n

First thing first. I’ll have to sign away my little life. Dr. David Botero and his bag is on deck, should anyone is have medical emergency. Have a drink. Ok, they said the shots are for after. I’ve none of it: I’ve to have it now, just in case I plugged to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean or the cold water stops my beating heart … at least I’ve my last drink, -:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… the short walk down and being leashed (in case of a cardiac arrest …), … and I actually made it back -:). I did a short swim but have to turn back, 1) there are more people waiting to do the plunge; 2) it’s bit too cold.<\/p>\n
