Default Hypothermia and water temperature.

With the limited boat traffic on the lake this early in the year, and for the next couple of months, it could be some time before some one was able to help some one in the water. Even at 50 degrees you would need assistance within an hour or so before you lose consiousness. Here is a great site for reference.
