A friend and I got tossed out of a zodiac into Skilak lake one December day. Full waders, wading jacket zipped up tight, and gloves on. Had to swim about 100ft back to the boat because the knucklehead driving it was pretty balled up trying to right himself. I floated like a cork and looked like a surface torpedo headed in for the kill I was swimming so fast. Got back to the boat, wet up to my elbows and across my shoulders, but no worse for the wear. Was reminded of a few lessons that day. Always wear the PFD was #1. Didnt have it on and the shore looked a long [bleep] ways off!
Good deal. You did well and we're lucky. That lake and it's neighbor have killed a helluva a lot of people.
