Cold Water Boot Camp

Yawl be Safe out there.
 
I had an experience in cool, but not cold water. I capsized a sailboat and was wearing my life jacket. My GF wasn't wearing hers but then again she is a very good distance swimmer. I describe myself as a good survival swimmer. After righting the boat and re boarding with the help of another boater, we managed to get back to the ramp. My GF was shivering like a leaf though but the life jacket actually helped keep my upper body warm enough.
 
Yea, even though the water temps here never get much below the 50's ... that is low enough to kill you if you are not protected. I wear mine 99% of the time when I am alone in the boat...and when under way. R
