"15 degrees C - horribly cold!"
Balmy conditions.
..."definitely wetsuit and Cag weather"
Cags. Not the ultimate paddling gear. The arms fill up at the elbows with
aggravating trickles of cold water. If you swim, the arms fill with water
and make progress difficult. I want an electrically heated tuiliq with CO2
fired floatation roll-aid/sponsons built in.
"...and a warm beer when back on the land :~)."
Warm beer? You have rights under the Trade Practices Act consumer protection
provisions and in contract law if the local publican can't chill the beer
properly.
