...National Weather Service Cold Water Safety Message...

* Water temperatures are currently cold, around 50 on the lakes and
  lower 50s on the rivers, which can quickly cause hypothermia to
  anyone immersed in the water. According to the Maine Warden
  Service, when the water temperature is below 60 degrees, the
  average submerged person could lose dexterity within minutes and be
  unable to accomplish simple tasks. Anyone on small boats, canoes or
  kayaks should plan accordingly if recreating this weekend and use
  extreme caution to avoid this threat. Paddle smart from the start
  and always wear your life jacket!
