Re: [Paddlewise] winter paddling

From: Mark Zen

i've seen debates between wet suit and drysuit, with folks asking, which
is better. it isn't quite that simple.
===================
i have been diving in a farmer john bottom and vest wet suit in 43 deg
water and my experience was that very shortly my left arm quit functioning
(no problem), then my left leg quit working...  i decided to  returned to
the boat while i still had something functioning.

i have felt the coldness of 40 degree water against unprotected skin in a
drysuit.

thanks for asking, but neither of those choices is for me.
bye bye bliven
