Enjoying all the Cape Ann “plunge” photos — didn’t realize there were so many of this happening that day. Figured our four were the only crazies out there. Saw the video on your latest update — we should have ours up on YouTube (from one of our friends) sometime soon.
Thought you could use this photo — our own version of the “polar bears”.
One of the Blue Shutters innkeepers, Patty Sapienza (that’s her in the black t-shirt and balloon hat), joined three friends for an annual New Year’s Day swim. They’ve named themselves “The Blue Shutters Dips” — and they’re attracting a growing group of followers. There were plenty of them on Good Harbor Beach — at 11am today (1/1/11) — to witness their plunge.
There are other photos on our website blog/diary and on the Blue Shutters Facebook page.
Hope you had a great holiday — Happy New Year
