Day 10.133: Coastal hazard message
We're a long way from the UK. This becomes obvious when things occur in our families, or when tragedies are in the news, or even when we are trying to find a timezone intersection to make a phone call. Sometimes we are reminded when we get a weather warning like this one (from a COASTAL HAZARD MESSAGE sent late last week):
...VERY COLD WATER WILL RESULT IN HYPOTHERMIA RISK TO PADDLERS...
I had no idea paddling could be so dangerous.

Could it be people paddling canoes?
ReplyDeleteYes indeed - as was quite clear from the rest of the warning. The concern was that a warm day would send lots of people out in boats on water that was cold enough to quickly cause problems if they ended up in it!
