In addition to all those who
took the plunge Saturday, several people came out to watch and enjoy
a little time on the beach.
It takes a lot of effort to put together a plunge event. At the
beach there were changing tents for after the plunge, clean dry
towels and blankets in ample supply, music to lighten the mood, and
safety personnel to assure that all the plungers were safe in the
water.

Rescue divers were in the water the
entire time, just in case. Luckily, their services were not needed.
