This hat is also useful in deflecting rain.
It’s easy-----
Do 1/2 of a roll. That way your boat will be over your head and it will keep the rain from hitting your head or your body.
When you need to breathe, just scull up for a breath.
What The Heck!?
the BEST is when it’s raining or snowing.

Temperature
Hey, it’s -20 at my house right now, and it’s -25 in town with a low of -35 tonight. How many of you folks would like to go paddling today? 
Think!
Do you really want to talk that person into paddling with you??
Be thankful if she cancels…
You Have No Fear!

Watch out for boat wakes, too
Rolling washes off the rainwater NM
Water is still open here in MI.
Here in lower Michigan, most of our rivers are still open. With recent temps in the 40’s there’s no problem getting out on the water. Both, the annul Day after Thanksgiving on the Rogue River and New Years Day, Pine River Paddle had much warmer weather for paddling than usual and were well attended.
It is so nice to go out with no jet skiis, or large power boats flying by creating wakes and eroding the shorelines. There are even a couple of Kingfishers still hanging around. It is so peaceful.
Hopefully many of my fellow paddlers are able to do the same.
