I think I'll wait until the boathouse opens up again in May, thanks.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/01/02/freezing_cold_p.php#comment-91927 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/01/02/freezing_cold_p.php#comment-91927 Comments Mon, 02 Jan 2006 23:38:14 -0500 <p>the guy running towards the shore on the left... is that ex-survivor richard hatch!?!?</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/01/02/freezing_cold_p.php#comment-91892 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/01/02/freezing_cold_p.php#comment-91892 Comments Mon, 02 Jan 2006 13:44:40 -0500 <p>Last year I attempted to do this because I hadn't been in New York for a New Year's in a while.

Well, I didn't actually swim, rather, I sprinted into the water, submerged myself, stood up and yelled, "Holy shit that's cold!" and then promptly ran back to the beach. It was fun, and the trip to the aquarium afterward made for a terrific start to 2006.</p>
