  6. 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!

  16. 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.

  26. I like the challenge to be creative, I wonder how many took it up?

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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?

    All the best Jan
