If your kayaking in the icy cold water around here and you're not that good at it, you are better off wearing a wet suit.

To Willlie Hunt of Pouch Cove:
Incase you missed the earlier posting on this incident, both men were experienced kayakers and the man was wearing a semi-dry suit as well as a life jacket. Perhaps you should go back and read the earlier post.
Sincere condolences go out to this man's family and friends. -
