I believe the article said the water temp was in the 60s. Add to that horrendous wave action and panic, look at this chart, and understand that it truly is a miracle that the one guy survived.
Hypothermia safety
What I said was IF they were not delusional and still had rational thought, they might have NOT taken off their life jackets.
I live near Lake Michigan. My friend has a 21 foot cuddy cabin cruiser. Until he got a marine radio and GPS on it, I refused to ride outside the breakwater on it. I also told him until he gets RADAR, I am not going to go out father than 2 miles........
Lake Michigan water temp is about 44 degrees in the HEAT of August, right now the temp is 38 at the surface and 34 15 feet deep.......
