Body Heat Question -

So yesterday we went for a walk in the rain.  We were meeting with the chiefs daughter who had lost half her foot to an infection.  We had "borrowed" some crutches, and Salsa another Sea Mercy boat with us, had some shoes for her damaged foot.  We got her to take her first steps in 1.5 years!  Hopefully the family will encourage her to continue to try walking.

As we were walking home we found that even though the temperature is 75 degrees, the rain made it so cold we were shivering.  Now the question (Bet) that we have is how fast does a body lose heat when in 30 degree water versus 30 degree air.  Is it 10 times faster?  2 times faster?

Enjoy,
Courage
