We could see Marcella's shadow floating in the water below us. "It's not that bad once you get in!" she chattered from the darkness.The night air was...chilling me to the bone. I reasoned with myself that at least the water would protect me from the biting wind. I stepped past Belinda and leaped into the darkness. The water was freezing and immediately shocked my system. After a few seconds, the initial bite of the cold wore off and my body acclimated to the temperature as well as it could. . Guns empty and fuel low, Regina found her field, circled, got permission and landed, taxied to the ammo area and killed the engine.
