SUMMARY:“Hands-In” Cold Water Paddling
DESCRIPTION:Join SMSKN for this presentation by Tom Bergh\, at the MIKCo Bo
 athouse on Peaks Island. Paddle over or take the ferry.\nCold water paddli
 ng introduces magnificent\, wild\, and challenging worlds to our adventuri
 ng. Clouds of new bird species\, whales and other marine mammals\, vast an
 d remote wild spaces are open to us with our ability to paddle safely and 
 wisely in cold environments. Sea kayaking began in the cold reaches near t
 he Arctic Circle over 4\,000 years ago.\nWhat is the water temperature? Is
  it raining\, windy or cold? How long will I be wet? How long will I be in
  the wind? Do I have any safety spots? How cold is it for my body? How act
 ive am I going to be? What have I recently eaten? How hydrated am I? What 
 is my skill set? The most important skill sets for cold water paddling are
  effective common sense and reliable judgment. How switched on are you to 
 be out when the margins are small the backup remote?\nAfter a presentation
 \, there will be the opportunity to practice rescues - or just experience 
 the effects of icy water on manual dexterity. Kayaks will be available for
  the practice session. Bring extra warm clothes to change into.
