Labradors love cold water, after all they originated in LABRADOR Andrew Labrador: Portuguese for 'a worker' Applied to a place, and a dog. From Wikapedia: "In the 1830s, the 10th Earl of Home and his nephews the 5th Duke of Buccleuch and Lord John Scott,[12][13] had imported progenitors of the breed from Newfoundland to Europe for use as gundogs. Another early advocate of these Newfoundland dogs, or Labrador Retrievers as they later became known, was the 2nd Earl of Malmesbury who bred them for their expertise in waterfowling.[12][13] During the 1880s, the 3rd Earl of Malmesbury, the 6th Duke of Buccleuch and the 12th Earl of Home collaborated to develop and establish the modern Labrador breed. The dogs Buccleuch Avon and Buccleuch Ned, given by Malmesbury to Buccleuch, were mated with bitches carrying blood from those originally imported by the 5th Duke and the 10th Earl of Home. The offspring are considered to be the ancestors of modern Labradors.[13][14]" So although it may mean worker I Portuguese, that is not the origin of the breed name. Andrew |

They are much slower to to warm as no convection currents are started. |

I think it's more likely it was the being thrown through the air and hitting the water that did it. Many of your grandfather's colleagues will have been in water, and died or been fine.

Ouch! Yep, cold seas can kill you in a few minutes if not instantly. Sinking the head under such cold water will at first, give you a huge pain in the head and, cause you to take a sharp intake of breath. Caving; the water is a nominal 6deg. That caused sharp pains when ducking the odd route and I often felt the urge to breathe in. I read that, in still water, there is a chance of maintaining a small amount of warmth by keeping quite still. On the other hand, being clothed and wet in cold moving air is bad due to evaporation demanding heat. Matters get a lot worse if you stand near a hot fire in the same conditions. ....Ray. |
