Right Tahoe is cooold. I guess it keeps it beautiful though keeping humans out.
Your a book of experience, probably one of the best in the world and you should write short story’s of your time at sea.
Another way of the water getting you in the cold is your muscles lock up as you probably know. It takes the strength right out of you even your hands can get too numb to be able grab on to things if in too long. I almost didn’t get out a few times like the Kern as u can’t be in it very long. One time a fish saved me by coming up started sucking on my toe and yike got sudden adrenaline to get out.
At least surfing you have a warning when you start shivering but you got to listen.
In that cold water of some lakes and rivers you have no warning. Almost like or close to flash freeze you have to time it to your tolerance.
If they dive deep as you know they just can’t get right out fast either so I guess being tied to a rope wouldn’t help much.
At Tahoe they have places off rocks or whatever they just jump in a swim back out warming to the sun or stay in the shallows.
I heard the water is so cold it preserves body’s of those drowned in the past.
