Governor Markell will be joining the other insane swimmers this afternoon in Rehoboth, as they all take part in the Polar Bear Plunge. I believe the Polar Bear Plunge was postponed from February due to one of the many blizzards we received this winter, so the Governor is being wise in doing it now rather than when the air temperature would have been below freezing. Sure, the water temp will still be cold and heart stopping, but at least the air temp is 50.
I guess this is a tradition now, as I frighteningly recall Governor Minner taking the plunge as well.
