As promised, here is a short video from this year’s Polar Bear Jump into the Ottawa River. Click on the image below and shiver along with the participants.
Polar Bear Jump – Video and Additional Photos
Below is a collection of additional photos from the day. Enjoy!
As the event progressed, the rain began to come down a bit harder and keeping the lens clear and dry became a problem. My (Ron’s) feet were getting a bit wet too so when my father (92 y.o.) headed back to the car, I was quite willing to follow him, leaving Graeme behind to work on the video.
