Polar Bear Plunge 2013

The day started early for us, we left for Sandy Point State Park at 6am.

We were some of the first to arrive in the pre-dawn hours.

Of course, that didn’t stop us from getting to the drinking just after 7am.

The event is an alcohol-free event, unless you are with a Ravens Roost.

The beach was fresh with snow, but within hours, it would be a sea of bathing suit clad people.

The super plungers (plunging once an hour for 24 hours) madeÂ theirÂ 23rd hourly dip. Â You need to raise $10,000 to be a super plunger.

The blue wrist band indicates we were part of the group doing the plunge.

Captain Dee-Fense stopped by and said hello.

It was really cold, and the ladies mostly stayed inside the RV.

The press was there getting a picture of all the various Roost members and this is the picture from the backside.

By later in the morning, the lot was filling up nicely. Many roosts charted buses for the event.

The time had come for us to don our bathing suits and had to the beach.

Remember, it is not safe to plunge if you have consumed alcohol.

The beach had become overrun with people.

Nothing like an “O” to let you know you are in the Baltimore area.

A last minute check before heading into the water.

Go time!!! Â We all made a way into the water for the ice cold plunge!!!!

At the time of this post the Roost had raised $785. Â Check this page for more information or to make a donation:
