New Year’s Day. Polar Bears storm the shores at Jersey. Around town with Jean Bredin, Blogfinger staff. © 1/1/17. Click for marvelous enlargements.
Says Jean: “I think a very exciting thing, not to be missed, is the Polar Bear Plunge on New Year’s Day sponsored by the Sons of Ireland in Asbury Park.
“I was in the middle of the melee absorbing the enthusiasm of the participants…which was very high. But I was too close to the water’s edge, and the incoming waves went up to my ankles. It’s a good thing I’m not shorter or it might have reached my…….knees.
“The water didn’t seem too frigid, and the sun was warm. I almost wished I could jump in too; they were having so much fun—-taking the plunge !”
