Seeing nice weather in the forecast and dreaming about getting out on the water? Sounds amazing! Just remember to take proper precautions to keep yourself safe. Even though air temperatures have been getting warmer, doesn't mean water temperatures are matching just yet. A lot of the bodies of water used for recreation in our area remain fairly cold. So, if you're planning to venture out for a nice paddle in the kayak or take the boat out for a little fishing, always remember to wear your life jacket and/or cold water protection gear to protect yourself from the harm of cold water!
