Accidental Swimming Lesson

[icarus_chained]

Note to self: the river in February is COLD! Also: river mud grabs and pulls, and then holds tight. Bank climbing is also difficult. On the plus side, those boots were absolutely worth the money. Two minutes after full imersion, and the water is only starting to come in. Downside is that they then hold it longer. Cold slog, buy clothes, change shivering in department store toilet. Oh joy. My legs are still numb, and my hands are tingly and smell of mud. Not to mention my boots. I'd hug them, but I only just got dry.

In conclusion, impromptu swimming lessons, in February, fully clothed, are sooo not fun.
