Well, it was a balmy 32 degrees F with a water temp of 46 degrees F for the 2008 Plunge! But the sun was out & it was not snowing :-)

I don't know how many $$$ were raised this year but I'm sure it beat last year. There were over 800 Plungers!
Everyone did a Great Job :-) :-) :-)

Judy, GREAT pics! In the one pic, are there people on surfboards out there????

And inquiring minds want to know, what is the red thing by alan's head? looks sort of like an ax...and what is the yellow thing going across rodney's chest? I know, inquiring minds...LOL!

Maggie is so cute...just adorable!

Cynde - the yellow thing going across Rodney's chest is a float....just in case of a rescue the float can be wrapped around a person. The ax looking thing by Alan's head is part of his hood! I had to ask too.....sure does look like an ax! Too high-tech for me LOL

Looks like another successful plunge! Great pictures, Judy. George and Kenny did great, I know I couldn't do it, way too cold for me. Maggie is a winner too, looks like she had fun with the guys! Nice turnout.

Great pics of the plunge. Congratulations to all the hearty ones who did it! Maggie seems the most prepared! This is not my style since, unless in a dry suit for a spring class, I reserve my winter plunges for Bonaire water around 80 degrees.
