The water temperature is really crucial for survival. Down here in SOCal where our water varied from the mid 40's in spring to the upper 60s-low 70s, we hit our peak water temps about this time of year. I imagine that might the case with your water as well, but I am only guessing.

What really works best for our conditions if you get in the water is either a wetsuit (something you cannot don quickly in case of an emergency) or a float coat, which is an ideal garment, especially if it has a beavertail. Unfortuantely, they are not cheap.

Enjoy your trip and take care....
