2012 received a downright "cold" reception, figuratively speaking, at Point Richmond Beach with another gathering of polar bears and fans of polar bears. A total of 65 people showed up for what is estimated to be the 10th annual event at this location. Approximately 21 swimmers entered the water measured at 45 degree F earlier in the day. The swim began at 11AM to take advantage of the benefit of the high tide. One of the attendees, a retired psychologist anonymously declared all of the swimmers including himself "crazy!" Following the dip swimmers and attendees alike enjoyed several homemade dishes including chilli and cornbread, chicken soup, corn chowder. Several scrumptious desserts were served as well, along with drinks. The favorite warm up drink of the adults was hot buttered rum. Click on photo to enter..
