Once again the ugly black spot on my photo ops!
I could say it is a whale or something out in the Atlantic.
But actually these pics are from Aron's Polar Bear Plunge.
It was suppose to happen 2/8/10 but a major storm
came through and it was changed to 3/14/10.
A much nice day by far, a little hazy but a lot warmer!!
There was not much beach access in March. I don't know what they
will do with all the tourist that are soon to hit the beach areas.
We ran into Mrs. Lashora and her daughter Diane, Mrs. Lashora lives on the river and taught
in Millsboro. Her husband was a vet , Diane is a nurse. Mrs Lashora has to be in her 80's and has jumped for the past 10 years. She is amazing. She use to jump horses of a tall platform into
a pool in Atlantic city back in the 50's, Look it up it is a amazing story.
Now on the Aron.....
The walk to the beach. There were I think around 10,000 people jumping in.
The boardwalk was like the 4th of July with people.


Aron and Brett being directed to stay off the dunes.
duh,, you think that is why those guys in orange are standing every so many feet????



This is a look south on the beach.





They had the Lewes rescue boat and divers in the water.
The water was 42 degree and a little rough.




Redskins and St paddy's day. I am ready to jump!







Stones on the shore.







The whistle finally blew and they are off!







Aron and Brett in the lead...










You can still see Aron's head, he was about to dive in.









Running out, I have never seen so much red skin on the beach in March.
Everyone was red from the cold water - not sunburn this time!
And it was over just like that! In and out they came, all
for a great cause -SPECIAL OLYMPICS!!

What a "COOL" thing to do for such a good cause! Looks like a great day on the beach in the winter! Soon it will be a lot different there, huh??? Proud of you Aron!!
