If you haven't see people in wet suits
Posted by: Celia on Sep-25-12 9:02 PM (EST)

Either you aren't seeing the serious paddlers or you don't recognize a dry suit. I personally agree with dry at those temps, but I paddle with one person who can tolerate a brief swim in a thick wetsuit down into the 40's. (With a good cag on board.)

I strongly suspect that you are not remotely ready for Lake Superior. Get to the folks recommended in this thread for a proper intro to paddling that lake.
