Hi Tom,

3/4 is still a bit light for the water temps.. even in CT, I suspect. You
don't want to go out in water colder than you're prepared to spend an hour
or so in. The hood, booties, and gloves may help, but still.. if you're
cold, and in trouble, you're going to be unhappy.

Being from CT isn't something that any windsurfer will hold against you..
you probably get better wind there than we do in the Chesapeake region.

If you do plan to go out, go when the wind is in a favorable direction..
just in case. Anything offshore might be a hindrance if you get in trouble
with a light wetsuit.

Brian
