 Another thing it says is "if you don't have a drysuit, and the water is
40*F, don't go out".
------------------------------------------
It would be interesting to know how a wetsuit or drysuit affects the number.
For example, if no protection gets you exhaustion or unconsciousness within
30 to 60 minutes in 40 to 50 degree water, how would a wetsuit or drysuit
change those numbers?
