I would have guessed a 2 hour event in a body of water like Lac La Croix would surly have caused some level of hypothermia?  The article read as though they just got to shore, shed wet clothes and went on.

Right?  I found that to be very strange.  I'm thinking it must have been very warm out for an extended time and the surface waters were not that cold.  Like ST says though, on a large body of water especially one being churned up with waves I gotta believe it wouldn't take long to go numb.  Maybe they were wearing wet suits.  8-)
