Hey everyone let it be know my 9 year old daughter Heather braved the freezing cold of the Chessie today. It was a blast my second plunge her first I could not be prouder

I know I know but it is for a good cause

Heard a report over the radio that lots of folks, including some Ravens players were going in. I do this in OC every year on New Years Day...you had a MUCH warmer day this year than we did! Can you say SHRINKAGE:eek2::eek2:

 

[crabby and son]

Were there any sharks lurking this year.........it's back:fishing2:....Gary

John - I almost didn't recognize you with that cat on your face. Looks good. I went back and forth over the Bridge today and saw you guys .... at least I know you were somewhere in that mob. That has become a MAJOR event. Hey, what's in all those large tents? Assume vendors but curious who and what? Jim

 

[AIK68J]

Jim -3 front tents were for changing there is a ladies and mens tent the one on the end is the Superplungers/Celebrity tent with hot tubs and doors (the public tents had to slide in the sides really suxed). The bigger ones in the back got food, vendors (no fishing gear and there were birds working just on the other side too), Pig races, games and the rest for the medical stations and check in. They got it pretty organized with the exception of the changing tents.
Gary - No shark I think he stayed in this year

Way to go, John. Thanks for the pictures. Looks like, um, fun! I know you were there with you daughter and all, but c'mon.... where's the pics of the hot cold chicks in bikinis?

Either I live under a rock or have my head in the sand OR the news did'nt cover this much, because I did not know this was happening today..........Sorry John, I wanted to make a pledge. Great job though to you and your daughter.

If you'd like, I could donate some money to "Having your Boys Dropped back down into place:yes:

smellslikefish - you must be under a rock .The local media - radio/newspaper and TV has been promoting the plunge for a few weeks.

Sorry but the dreaded "shark" could not make it- too much ice to risk getting trapped when the tide started in.Hopefully next year :thumbup:.

 

[AIK68J]

I was worried about the ice myself and getting trapped in the tidal areas (what am I gonna do with all this shark repellent)

Just donated.......Gave your daughter that last little push she needed to meet her goal.... Even gave you a little John........even though you wore that goofy hat.

Your probally right Skip.........but I cant hardly stand watching or listening to the news........tooooo depressing. If I hear about one more "Parent killing there child" or "Someone getting run over while changing a tire" or the 2 Owe"s.......OweMalley and Owebama, I'm gonna Go Postal:yes:
