Hi Serkan,

There are a couple of decent places for wind, if you're up for a 5-6 hour
drive. Hatteras would be my first choice. Canadian Hole, or anywhere on the
Outer Banks is going to have better wind. There are lots of shops that you
can call there for local info and "local forecasting". Your next best bet
might be Jim K's place in Atlantic City. I haven't been there, but Marc, and
a couple of the others on this group have. I've heard that if there's wind
in the NE, it'll be there.. Other than the ocean, there's good sailing on
the sound side, by Jim's shop. His link is
http://www.extremewindsurfing.com/

There's also a chance of wind in the Hampton Roads area. I don't know many
launch sites there, but Glenns' site has a couple of ideas, and some great
maps under the "sail" link: http://www.sailwet.com/

Good luck, and let us know if you find wind!

Brian
