Alumni News & Announcements Polar Plunge - 2012 The weather was predicted to
be very cool with wind and rain, not so much. The, "Bear-cat", was not
available so we got the, "Emergency Response Vehicle", very big and an
attraction none the less.
The winter being so warm the water was up to
the low forties, absolutely fantastic. Light sun, breeze and good size waves
made for a good day.
Two observations, first was that as I trotted onto
the water that at 42 degrees I focused on the waves and not the temp of the
water. The second was a surprise. Many people rush in then out, at least in the
area I was in, no dunk.
Never realized that, I thought everyone went
under, it's the gift that counts and all there raised over 120,000. dollars.
Back to the plunge, as I got almost got chest high a big wave was coming in and
I thought that this was perfect to ride, which I did. Pretty sure the riding
was my choice and not the waves choice. After four years, under the Alumni's
name, we have donated eighteen hundred dollars.
Good
job by all. Ed Ryan
