Anybody else at the Sweetwater Symposium last year, when the water was 60, and we got blown off the Bay by strong winds and horizontal rain? It was so bad that classes were cancelled for the rest of the day. By the time those of us on the water got off, we were all shivering. I was so cold I got dragged into somebody's heated car. FYI, I was wearing a Farmer Jane with a long-sleeve fuzzy rubber shirt. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I was wearing lightweigh capilene bottoms, neoprene shorts, light weight AND expedition weight capilene top with a goretex drytop, a fuzzy rubber hood and helmet and I was shivering! Wished I had brought my drysuit, but my gosh, it WAS Florida! steve Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe N 45º 39' 47" 250 NE Tomahawk Isle Dr. W 122º 36' 16" Portland, OR 97217 Web: www.aldercreek.com Phone: 503.285.0464 Email: aldercreek_at_qwest.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
