G'day Mark,

As a skinny but very fit person I agree Mark. I have to wear many (6) layers
to remain warm (ie not shivering) for any protracted length of time (~30
minutes) in even quite warm (15C) water. Wouldn't fancy my chances of
survival compared with yours in really cold water.

All the best, PeterO
