We did not, however, learn about shrinkage. We were in dry suits. Not wet suits. DRY suits.
Rutabaga bought a bunch of dry suits to give the staff something to use early season, allow customers to try/rent, and to just get everyone more familiar with the idea behind a dry suit. It was successful. NRS and Kokatat provided us with suits (at a good discount, thanks Farley and Michael!) and we figured there’s no better time than now, given the ice was off the pond just a few days ago.
No one was really excited about putting their hands and faces in the water (we hire smart people). Still, we had fun. Margaret had a little trouble due to her abundance of hair. Strangely that’s never a problem for me…
