Sweet!
I don’t have to deal with cold water. My concern is that, if I do fall out on a lake, it seems that under water plants are quite thick & one could easily get tangled in them.
Dress for the water; not the weather
Thanks!
I need to make sure I have the proper clothes for sure. Def need some neoprene booties. 😄
Thanks!
