Emergency authorities caution boaters about water temperatures remaining cold

With the warmest day of the late Spring over the weekend, many headed out on the waters to boat, kayak, canoe, paddle board, and the like.  Ridgefield Emergency Management officials say even through air temperatures were in the 80s, water temperatures remain cold. It is still in the lower to mid 50s across Long Island Sound and not much warmer across bays and lakes.  Emergency officials say cold water drains body heat up to 25 times faster than cold air and cold shock causes an immediate loss of breathing control. This dramatically increases the risk of sudden drowning, even if the water is calm and you know how to swim.
