- It isn't *my* sense of hot and cold (though I never do enjoy the Atlantic
- Ocean, I'll admit) but what I heard about survival times in the water. I
- heard this on NPR a while back. My vague memory is that in the winter,
- you could last only a few minutes, while in the summer it was a couple of
- hours. This supports my memories of the Atlantic Ocean.:)
