 | All,
Just graduating from school in April and feel a well deserved Hatteras
trip coming on. No need for congrats...it took me 5 years :).
Before my job training starts in June, I was thinking about heading to
the outer banks for a few days of sailing as it's kind of on the way to
my training. I, however, know very little other than what I've read or
heard.
How are the conditions in June? I've been looking for some statistics
online, but I'm missing all the good sites as all I've found is realty
advertisements.
How dumb is it to go by yourself?
Can you find a place to stay by yourself?
Any info would help me out. As you can see I know very little...

I'll add some more information. I am an intermediate sailor (make
about 50-60% of my jibes in rough water), love to freestyle. I
definantly want to sail in the sound, and crowds don't bother me a bit.
Other sailors make me feel safer, especially if I'm thinking about
doing this alone.
Anybody need an extra for a house in June :)?
Cheers again,
Lucky

| Hard to find an individual place unless you rent a room at one of the motels.
See if you can shack up with someone from rec.windsurfing. You can also camp
out pretty easily as the weather there is nice in June.
The SWw trhermals start to kick that time of year so you can expect to be
rigging some small sails in the afternoon. Winds are stronger in the
Rodanthe/Waves area than in Avon but there are more shops and people in Avon.
It's only 20 minutes away so it's no big deal anyway.
Check out http://www.windvisions.com/Hatteras/hatteras_launches.html for some
site information. I'll probably be down there quite a bit, making day trips on
the weekends.
Glenn

| Lucky, I sort of did the same thing last year in cape cod... your best
bet might just be to head over there, and chum it up with the local
sailors. - that's what i did, and ended up finding a job, a room to
rent, and stayed all summer. Windsurfing is a small community, and
rec.windsurfing is (atleast slightly ) smaller. and i'm sure there's
tons of hatteras sailors who are neither posters nor lurkers, but can
give you some more information. anyways, depending on what kinda
vehicle you drive, just camp out. i lived in my truck for a month quite
comfortably ... just gotta know where to park at night :)
