Lake Atitash. It's just off I-95..just north of the Mass border. It was New Years Day. .... 40 some years ago...The ambient temp was 50 degrees. Bright and sunny. An old coot was sailing around in light air and sailed in to a hole.

He was in the water for maybe a half hour. They finally got him out and "Walked" him back over the ice (1/4 mile ) to his VW Camper with the heater going full bore. He was pretty cold but he thawed out in the camper with no ill effects.
