On Saturday morning, many brave (crazy?) souls were at Crescent Beach for the 9th annual Turkey Plunge to benefit the Friends of the Shelter Island Public Library, running, walking and diving into the bay, which sported a temperature of about 40 degrees.
Here are some photos of one of Shelter Island’s most beloved events.
