I know it's not kayak related, but it is cold water related. http://www.boston.com/dailynews/203/region/Sailor_survives_19_hours_in_wa:.s html I thought a radio blurb said the sailor did not have a pfd, but there is no mention of a pfd in the newspaper article. I know I would not want to spend 19 hours in the local water. Last week it was 63 degrees on the outside of Cape Cod - where the sailor was would have been a little warmer, but not much. His cold water survival course REALLY paid off. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
