Dress code? Interested in peoples' thoughts about whether it's dry suit time yet or not...? Cool at launch time, not so cool as day progresses, water not yet that cooled down...

I'm thinking one could go either way but the water is not all that cold yet. This morning the air was pretty cold today and tomorrow will be 10 degrees colder at the start. Since I don't like being HOT, I will most likely wear 2 layers of hydro-skin tops for warmth and insulation (One long sleeve insulated and a thin short sleeve over it) and one long hydro-skin bottom. I will bring an extra hydro top and dry top in case I want something dry after the lunch break. A dry suit may be overkill but everyone is different.
