Fall is here. Rivers are nearing their winter chill
Local water temperatures are now below 50 degrees. Hypothermia is a concern for anyone who should fall overboard. Operators of small craft are advised to have all on board wear full emersions suits that are designed to both serve as a life vest and to protect the individual from the cold.
