Yesterday I wore a dry suit till I got splashed getting out of my boat for a breakfast break..then it was a wet suit. Cya Bob Denton Delray Beach, FL > Down here in Fla. We almost always just wear swim suits. If it gets cold we will put on a T shirt. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
The springs are usually 68F summer and winter. That's 5mm wetsuit country as far as I'm concerned and cave divers always use dry suits. The ocean temperature in my corner of Florida is around 78F and the sun is surprisingly fierce! I was in the local St. Pats parade on Saturday and stupidly forgot to wear a had and got quite sunburned. cya -----Original Message----- From: Joe Pylka [mailto:pylka_at_castle.net] Sent: Monday, March 15, 1999 11:28 AM To: Bob Denton; dldecker_at_se.mediaone.net; paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Drysuits - insulation >Down here in Fla.

I couldn't go more than 1/2 hour before I got chilled out without thermal protection. So a wetsuit was de rigeur even there. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
