How cold before I get worried?

Boat is in Norfolk, forecast to be 14 deg Mon and Tues nights. I am in California, should be about 70 today, but lowering to 60 by the end of the week . Sea water temp in Norfolk is probably still above 40, not worried about the bay freezing, but there is now water in my domestic system. Do I need to scramble and get someone to put a heater in there? Or will it stay warm enough given that it is in the water? There are plenty of boats in the marina (Little Creek), can't believe all of them got fully winterized, but maybe they all have heaters?

This is not something we deal with in California. The boat was winterized for last winter for Virginia, but after launching last month I commissioned most of the stuff.
