oh that looks so cold, how long were they in the water?

it's just a plunge (in and out). but, there are some people that have had a few more beers and stay in the water longer (like they have something more to prove) .

My daughter did the Polar Bear Plunge here on Long Island last year..into the Atlantic Ocean! This year she's dragging her younger brother along with her. You can't believe the crowds that show up to watch.
I think these people are CRAZY out of their minds!

That sure does look FREEZING COLD!
Great pictures!
