Once again it was time for the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge and we rocked it out in full force.

It was Sunday February 3, 2008 this year and Robert and I went down once again. This was our third consecutive year and probably the best year weather and donations wise. We raised over $300 between the two of us without really going out of our way much. The weather was 52F at plunge time with a water temperature of 42F. Once again there was a record number of plungers this year and people in attendance. I haven’t seen the totals for total contributions this year, but I but it set a new record too.

In the picture above you can see my lovely “swimming cap”. The only thing I dislike about the plunge is the fact that I’m underwater less than five seconds and I have to deal with a cold wet head for the rest of the day. I briefly (and mostly jokingly) wore this lovely homemade swim cap as a thought on how to stay dry. And yes, that is a plastic bag with a drum stick holding it together. Yes, Robert had a set of drum sticks in his bag, actually it was more like purse with all the random crap he had in there.

After the plunge we hit up Dogfish Head once again where we both enjoyed a couple beers including a Fort, now that’ll warm you up! DFH also gave us a pint glass each, and assumingly to any other plungers that came after the plunge and spent at least $10 on food. Since they did not advertise this it was a nice treat. I also walked away from DFH with a new dope hoodie sweatshirt. It is brown with an off-centered DFH logo embroidered on the left chest with green hops silk screened over that, it’s fresh. Thanks Dave & Jody for the gift card for my birthday, that was a great treat.
