A family that plunges together... |
All week I threw in little blurbs and hints about a possible
‘polar plunge’ later in the trip. The suspense, excitement, and anxiousness
built up within the group as our final day neared. Finally I told them that
today was the day, and it just so happens to coincide with us being in front of
a glacier. So as ice floated by us we put on our game faces to challenge
ourselves with the coldest of polar plunges.

Me backflipping in front of a glacier |
Dawes glacier has
been active this year. We saw it calve several times during the morning kayak so
we could understand why there was so much ice floating around the boat. The
ice, coupled with the imposing Dawes glacier in the background, made for a
pretty incredible scene for the polar plunge.
About ¾ of the 21 guests onboard the Safari Quest this week strolled out
in their robes with towels and worried looks. Excitement quickly took over as
Carol volunteered to be our first plunger.
Each
jumper came back more reinvigorated and a little more bonded with the other
jumpers. It is a rare group of people who get to do such a thing. But that can
be said of things we do almost every day here with UnCruise. So here is to
pushing yourself and expanding your boundaries, and here is to the polar
plungers.
