RE: [Paddlewise] Superior death

Thanks. According to the map at
http://www.geo.mtu.edu/%7Ejrbudd/kites/superior/, the surface
temperature of Lake Superior in the vicinity of Pie Island on
those dates was 7 - 9 degrees C. (45 - 49 degrees F.) -- not a
good time to be paddling solo, as I assume he was.
