Bluewater Bridge in Sarnia, We float drift from the Waterworks to just under the Bridge then some of us may go to the bottom for a little fun!

Sounds like fun! How long are you typically in the water? I'm still a wetsuit diver, saving up for a drysuit, so have be a little conservative about cooler temps.
 
Hi Smiffy : I'll be wet also, pretty much the same I think I will be going dry by next spring. The drift will take only 10 minutes so being wet is not too bad if you have a two piece I'm not sure on a one piece 7mil. Last time we did this a few of us braved going to the bottom and thats where you get cold! Are you close to us?

Not really close; check out the buddy finder, my co-ordinates are 45 -78, which is Haliburton, Ont.

Just an advice, for these tempertures, one piece 7 mil is a no-go. Two pieces is the "Bare" minimum with neoprene socks, an underskin in polyolefin (not just a lycra skin) and a good pair of mittens.

Yeah, I hear what you are saying, I don't fancy freezing my arse off. I'll either have to get my self anther layer or a drysuit
