REMINDER FOR COLD WATER PADDLING!
Be sure to dress appropriately for the water conditions present. Wear materials that maintain their warmth even when wet, such as wool, as well as taking a dry change of clothes in a dry compartment to change into. Wearing jeans, anything cotton especially, is HIGHLY DISCOURAGED!
Also be sure to wear your lifejacket AT ALL TIMES, as thicker layering of clothes can lead to a feeling of being "weighted down" when wet, as well as decrease mobility. The shock of cold water can also very quickly decrease mobility, almost instantly.
Be sure to do a very honest assessment of your paddling skills and cold-water knowledge before you venture out. We want to ensure we get to see you again when the warm-water months roll back around!
