Re: Coast Guard Suspended Search
Unless you are in a "Mustang" or even more protective "Gumby" suit your ability to survive in cold water is very limited. I've been out of the USCG for twenty+ [man I'm old] but there are survival charts. They calculate the times a person can be expected to survive in certain water temps. The decision to call off SAR cases is based on these charts as well as conditions and station time capability.
Nobody wants to learn of anyone lost at sea, crappy decision to make
