you know i'm cold blooded, lol....i will say that as I came out of the water, I announced to onlookers "no photography allowed!"
detoured to Sauble beach on the way back (lake Huron) and it felt like FL water temps in comparision...with the forecast looking good for this weekend, I could end up in the St Lawrence for a dip...i think the contaminents in there actually help to keep the temp up!
back on topic, did you know that lake Couchiching is only about 15'
deep...that makes it easy to warm up the waters pretty quickly, maybe you should take your blueblocker, 30 spf and swimsuit up in Nov
you're a real trooper!
