E5 reports the water is cold. He is fine, boat ramp retrieval of glider which had only minor superficial damage though everything is wet. Crash landing and rescue is a misnomer, just an outlanding on a rather soggy site with paddle board transport of pilot.


Calling a forced landing on a lake an "outlanding" IS the misnomer.
