Drop #33: Jump off a Cliff into Water




Cliffs on Block Island... Obviously I will not be jumping off of these!

 
     This drop is pretty lame.

     I think the main reason why I chose to put this in my bucket list is because I've chickened out of it before (or, more so, I wasn't properly dressed for it). Summer is right around the corner, so the opportunity should present itself sometime soon. I would love to get this over with and cross it off my list.

    I remember a few summers ago, my husband and I met up with some of his friends to do this. We had to walk through some woods, but as soon as we got to the wide opening, there were just cliffs surrounding a large pond. I didn't have my bathing suit but even if I did, I can't say that I would have jumped. The cliffs were probably a good 20 to 30 feet high or higher, although you could easily find a ledge at almost any height in between.

    My fear most likely lies in the unknown; what if I hit the ledge on the way down? Is there something on the bottom I can hit? What if I can't get to the top fast enough because I sunk so deep? I think these are valid questions. Yet, I also need to remember to take some risk in life. I mean, jeez. I don't do much risk-taking. Anyways, my point is that I hope to polish this drop off this summer. Now only if I can work on looking decent in a bathing suit...
