As fast as Creampuff is, I would bet that she will generate enough heat to stay warm. The hot drink idea is a sound one. There is one swimmer at Horsetooth who feeds on Payday bars. His kayaker gives him an unwrapped one, he dunks it in the water and eats. The water is clean in Horsetooth, but that is not my idea of feeding. He does well. He has swam it 6 times and is always in the 3 hour and 30 minute range.
