After your feet go numb, what is the next sign of hypothermia? I need to know what to look for. My feet go numb first. After one or two fingers go numb, i decide it's time to get out. What signs do you look for that tell you it's DEFINITELY time to get out? btw even when just the feet have gone numb, i make sure i'm no more than about 100 meters from shore.

I wrote about hypothermia for both GQ and Boating magazines a few years ago. I volunteered to become hypothermic myself by immersion in the waters off Cape Disappointment in Washington State.
