About 8 years ago myself and another fellow turned over a canoe in January while duck hunting. Both of us had wader's on (neoprene) and fortunately we were only about 15 feet from shore. The water temp was 38 that day and the air temp was 26 degree's. I made the shore within 30 seconds. My buddy almost didn't make it. Neither of us had life preservers on. I said my prayers that night as did my buddy. Bottom line, is we both count our lucky stars as it could have been much much worse. Guess your learn your lesson or you don't. We did. My prayers are certainly extended in this case.
