Title: Re: Getting wet Post by Westwood on Aug 14th, 2009 at 10:51pm
The rule of thumb I usei is if the canoe tipped would I be able to get to shore alive. If the down wind shore is a 1/2 mile away and the water is cold as in May, you are dead. As others have said, don't plan on getting back into your canoe or swimming with your canoe. Get you and your partner to shore.
If the water temperature is in the 40's you really only have minutes to get to shore. Westwood |
