Okay, I just soaked my hands and feet for ten minutes to try and warm them up and I think they are feeling better now.
The water temp in the sea is a balmy 57F today and I am still trying to warm my cold hands up after going in for about ten minutes. I saw two other guys in the sea today besides me and they looked like they were having trouble with the cold water too. It is cloudy today and there is no sun at all so sitting in that cold water felt extra cold today. Normally when the sun is out you feel some warmth from it, but today it was just gray skies and cold water on my skin. Heating the hands up is key to typing well, so now I am going to heat up water in my little heating device in the kitchen and soak my hands in the hot water for a while. Okay, I just soaked my hands and feet for ten minutes to try and warm them up and I think they are feeling better now. My little space heater works well to heat up my hands too but it costs a lot more money to run, so using the small hot water heating device seems to be the most cost effective way to get the job done. My hands are working a lot better now after my hot water soaks and now I can get my work done a lot faster. It is not easy heating up the hands when you are trying to type some HVAC stories, so I think the better way is to warm them up before you do the typing job.
