New Years Day Polar Bear Plunge

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Keller Williams on the Water

New Years Day Polar Bear Plunge Anna Maria Island Style - Here on Anna Maria Island, we've got our own version of a Polar Bear Plunge.   It will be at 12 noon on New Year's Day at 12th Street South and the Gulf of Mexico in Bradenton Beach (Coquina Beach).  It is sponsored by Clancy's Irish Pub, 6218 Cortez Road in Bradenton.  The plunge and post-plunge party at Clancy's with the Jack Tamburin Band is a fundraiser for Caring for Children Charities, which helps disadvantaged children's programs in Manatee and Sarasota counties.  For more information, call Jan Crudele at 941-952-1109.

The water temperature on Anna Maria Island in the Gulf of Mexico will be around 70 degrees for our Polar Bear Plunge on New Year's day.  (Anna Maria Island water temperatures peak in the range of 84 to 86°F around mid August and are at their minimum around mid February, in the range of 64 to 72°F .)    So, for a polar bear plunge it's certainly not as cold as up north, but that's why we live on Anna Maria Island.    The air temperature for New Years Day 2014 on Anna Maria Island is forecast for a high of 73 and a low of 55.  Let's just hope that the high is there by noon for us!

If we had one this year it will be in the mid 80s.  Not the same as the Northeast.

Now that's my idea of a 'polar bear' plunge -- because I'm a big baby when it comes to cold water!  Have a great New Year!

You got me there for a minute. I was thinking of those people who go into icy water and I really can't imagine it. Enjoy your "polar bear" plunge. Don't forget the sunscreen.
