Taking the plunge on New Year's Day
Polar Bears, Run-and-Dunkers jump in
Men, women, boys, girls brave annual rites
Participants of the Run-and-Dunk event sponsored at Old Silver Beach in Falmouth by the Cape Cod Center for Women decide leaving the water Thursday is a good idea.
Photo essay by David G. Curran
On this, the first day of 2009, Cape Codders decided to test the temperature of Buzzards Bay.
Their considered opinion: The water was cold. Really, really cold.
With air temperatures hovering between 10 and 20 degrees, well below freezing, swimmers plunged in at Monument Beach in Bourne and at Old Silver Beach in Falmouth. Being rational souls, they plunged out again as quickly as possible.
Several hundred people watched at Monument Beach at noon as the aptly named Polar Bears engaged in their annual plunge, which raises money for the Bourne Food Pantry.
Slightly later Thursday afternoon, the Cape Cod Center for Women held its annual Run-and-Dunk at Old Silver Beach.
Monument Beach Polar Bears make a splash.
Monument Beach Polar Bears head for land.
Participants in the Run-and-Dunk at Old Silver Beach conclude the dunk.
Having conquered land and sea, Run-and-Dunk participants pause for a group portrait.

LOL, couldn't agree more. Time for them to take a bath, instead of the Massachusetts taxpayer. If you ever read HCarr's book, you'd see how he describes the midget as giving away jobs, esp. within the MBTA. Cellucci created sweet package deals while now, the trains are ready for the scrap heap. Southie has their own dunk into the icy bay. Not for me. I'm all about comfort. Give me a warm whirlpool on a cool summer night, no ice for me!
