As if today weren’t exciting enough, it’s the Polar Bear Plunge out there, thousands of people in bathrobes and Cat in the Hat hats stripping down (though chilly, it’s sunny and pretty comfortable) to jump in the water.
A Lewes Fire Rescue boat floats offshore, and wet-suited divers gather at the waterside, in case anyone needs to be saved. Little airplanes buzz the beach.
“Ten minutes!” someone calls out. The mood’s euphoric, silly, excited. Everyone’s taking everyone else’s picture. The Lieutenant Governor’s somewhere in the crowd.
Les UD‘s lean over their balcony, stoked.
