Going to give my cold water PSA. While the temperature has been nice out in the afternoon the morning and nights have been cold, in the last 30 days the water temperature of the Allegheny has dropped 20 degrees down to 50°. Please wear a life vest and stay close to shore if you do not have proper attire(wetsuit or dry suit). Cold water kills.

Don’t forget to tell someone where you are going, and what times you are heading out and planning on returning especially if you’re going alone. Your contact person can alert help if things don’t go as planned and they don’t hear from you. Letting your contact person know what your vessel looks like and your clothing will also be helpful.
