We sail all year. On out last boat, where the cockpit was open to the wind about January 1 ski goggles came out instead of sunglasses. Fleece socks.
Windblocker fleece pants are great. A thin balakava under a thicker hat. Our new boat has a dodger, so less is required.
The freezing character of brackish water depend a lot on the location - the Bay itself very seldom gets ice, at least in the south, but creeks where the harbors are vary a great deal. Some are nearly fresh water. I would ask sailors who have been in your harbor whether it ices frequently. I know in Deale, the north fork of the harbor is often free while the south fork is solid.
