The event is organised by Looe RNLI.
Even though the weather was overcast, the wind abated and rain held off.
First to the marker bouy!.
Earlier the volunteer crew move the Atlantic 75 B-793 Alan and Margaret onto East Looe beach.
One of the volunteer crew Brian Bowdler braves the surf to take the marker bouy in the bay.
Looe RNLI's D class D-741 Ollie Naismith makes her way out into the bay to act as safety boat.
After the dip, Guy Cooper bring the marker bouy back to shore.
New year dippers pose!
Looe RNLI's D class D-741 Ollie Naismith returns to the river and boathouse.
Hot coffee and tea with cake was available afterwards in the boathouse.
Well done to all - I understand that over £770 was raised for Looe RNLI.
The volunteer crew are never off duty, 90 minutes later the crew were alerted to a kite surfer in difficulty off the Banjo Pier.
The inshore lifeboat was launched to go to his assistance.
