Hello, Due to Covid, they changed the plunge here. Particpants could show themselves plunging anywhere they wanted, but caught on video. Before they plunged into the cold Chesapeake Bay. Take care, enjoy your day!
When I lived in Chicago there was a group who jumped into Lake Michigan every day all winter long. On many days they had to chop a hole in the ice. Not everyone is sane.
...we have had New Year's Day plunges here too, I have done a bunch of crazy things, but not this! Thanks Bill for coming to the party, take care and come again.
We have one of those plunges around here too, but it is February. Sometimes they have to use a chain saw to break through the ice first!! Too cold for me!!
I do like your new banner photograph. I certainly wouldn't want to take the plunge but they are trying to support the local community. I wonder how many did?
Bill - brrr, not me, either!!! Around here, they cut a hole in the ice of the lake, and jump in it to raise money for Special Olympics. Madness for a good cause!!! Happy New Year!
It's too cooooold!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Brrrrr
ReplyDeleteI like the header!
It's also cold here ... -3, and it gets even colder on weekends!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the creativity here?
ReplyDeleteGo Gemma!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be too cold for a plunge, lol.
ReplyDeleteYes people do so here too, but the official dive at the beach was cancelled. Some people did so on their own in a canal in Amsterdam...
ReplyDeleteHoliiii Bill !!
ReplyDeleteI love the words written on that stone, they are very Tolkian.

Ah Bill, I was looking forward to seeing your image in Spandex in the blog.

The Toronto Polar Bear Club could not gather this year... thanks to Covid-19.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a winter passion I don't have! Love the new header pic!
ReplyDeleteGreat new banner and... no way, but reckon you jumped right in!
ReplyDeleteHere in the Netherlands, Scheveningen, there were a few that went into the sea but the warm pea soup with sausage was missing.
ReplyDeleteI am assuming you only took a picture of the Plunge Sign and did not actually take the Plunge itself?! lol
ReplyDeleteNo plunges her this year. It went virtual, people pouring ice cold water on each other.
ReplyDeleteI bet the sea is cold there even in an August heatwave. I'll stay dry thanks!
ReplyDeleteSomeone should be dare to particiate!
ReplyDeleteThat gave me a chill just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteWell, did you plunge??

ReplyDeleteThis kind of activity gets on the news around here. Strange and uncomfortable way to do so!
ReplyDeleteNo way for me to take the plunge...I always feel chilled, even in the house :)
ReplyDeleteI had to google for the meaning of plunge, but yes here people enjoy taking one on New Year’s day. It’s not for me though.
ReplyDeleteIt was cancelled here. Covid...
ReplyDeleteIt is usually a big event here but was cancelled this year!
ReplyDelete...we have had New Year's Day plunges here too, I have done a bunch of crazy things, but not this! Thanks Bill for coming to the party, take care and come again.
