That doesn't really matter. You can die of hypothermia right off the
Southeast coast, right here in Charleston...for a good part of the year.

Look at the core temps and effects of them. If you get down to under 90F,
you're in serious trouble....The water sucks it right out of you.

I believe you Larry. When I was in the Congo one night the temperature went
down to 70F. The next morning we found people dead from hypothermia on the
side of the road. The change from 100F + down to 70F was too much of a drop
all at once.
