Good account and plenty to be learnt. Thanks for putting this up Rhino. Gives plenty of detail about how things can go wrong, even with a kayaker who taken some safety precautions. Also interesting that even without any heat retaining clothing of any substance, he was still conscious, though cold and hypothermic. Its re-assuring that if one has the minimum of emersion designed clothing it will give reasonable time in current water temperatures.

Thanks for the full picture... point taken, no use of having the safety equipment if you dont know how to use it.
