JaneC Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I am wondering if there is any interest amongst those that cannot attend the Easter Bunny Plunge on Easter Sunday in joining me in a pre Easter Bunny Plunge on Saturday April 16. Time and place to be determined once we have a better handle on weather, etc. You must have the following:- Food and a hot beverage- Drysuit with proper footwear and appropriate under layers (if you don't have a drysuit, inquire about borrowing or renting)- Neoprene cap or hood- Neoprene gloves or poggies- Wool or fleece hat- Wool or fleece gloves or mittens- Down or synthetic insulated jacket that fits over your PFDIf you have the following, you should also bring them:- Storm cag- Warm outer pant layer (worn at launch to unload and pack boat)- Spare under-layers (in case your primary set gets wet)- Padding to sit on (camp chair, carpet square, piece of foam, etc)- Hypo kit (various items to help deal with hypothermia for yourself and/or others)- Group shelter Please see the Easter Bunny Plunge posting for details I may have missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneC Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 The long range forecast, as of today indicates that it is going to be a nice, somewhat sunny day with mild temperatures AND a lots of WIND. 13-18 mph. That’s too much for me for my first day out. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfolster Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Just a thought: You could do a one-way south-to-north run, maybe Riverhead to West Beach, or Rye to Odiorne (need to think about harbor entry during ebb), or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Caivano Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Since I can't do Sunday now, my Saturday is open. I am interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
