Cold water? Don't paddle without PFD!


...so hypothermia isn't the most lethal threat in cold water, but drowning is.

Note: 45 degrees Fahrenheit is 7 degrees Celsius. The actual water temperature along the Dutch North Sea Coast is about 5 degrees Celsius (41 Fahrenheit), inland river water temperature (Lek, Rhine) is about 4 degrees Celsius (39 Fahrenheit).

Thanks Joris for this video-tip!
