Oh, I also spent about 10 minutes swimming in the Atlantic (not on purpose) in polypro and nylon, and didn't get chilled. As I write this it's 71 F in Charleston. Sea temp 30 miles offshore (nearest buoy) is 69 F. I've been snowed on in Southern Michigan in May. Charleston in April is warmer. :) Steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Feb 24 2000 - 13:09:02 PST
