Coney Island Polar Plunge 2013

The fun doesn't stop in Times Square for New Years. On New Years Day we headed on over to Coney Island to check out the madness. The Coney Island Polar Bear Club and friends were plunging into the Atlantic!!! They are the oldest polar bear club in the U.S. About 1000 people took part. 
When we first arrived I happened upon these two packages!
Sweet Bot costume.
Notice this mans hat. A replica of the tower behind him.
Popeye!!!
Chan chillin out...pun intended.
I got my free hug!
Here they are lining up.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I get cold just looking at these pictures.
Brave or Stupid?
I totally dig this outfit.
And they're off.
Captain Duck Face
No costumes needed, just guts. If these old geezers can do it I could totally do it but I'd rather not.
See? He's still alive!
Representing!
OH GRANNY!!!
Nice Tux!
I would love to know this man's story. 
Unfortunately, due to the mobs of overly eager photographers I wasn't able to see peeps jumping in the water.  But I had fun checking everyone out as they came out.

Cheers everyone! Stay warm!

Pin It!
