Cecil, cool info about the average water temps. 51 yrs ago I spent a summer on Isle Royal, a national park(island) 12 miles off the coast of Canada in lake Superior. Being 12 and about as sharp as I am now, I'd swim everyday it wasn't rainin. The guys that worked trail maintenance only got to go to the mainland of Mich on the fourth of July and of course all the island residents knew to go down to the big dock and watch these boys return. Being young and basically cut off from civilization they tended to over indulge in the evil liquids. I distinctly remember seeing one fellow get off the plane and weave back and forth many times till he got to the other side of the 10' wide dock and just step right off. When he came up he said "gosh dang" or something real similar, "that's the quickest I've ever sobered up. It WAS frigin cold.
