Best DC launches on a NW Autumn wind   Message List

Dear Baltimore/Washington DC area Windsurfer:

With autumn approaching, here are a few nearby launches I recommend when the cold fronts finally punch through leaving a NW or W wind in their wake:

Daphne, since you live in Northern VA, I recommend the following on a NW wind:

1) Mason Neck S.P.  It is best on a NW.  The link is:  http://www.windsurfresource.com/mason_neck_state_park.htm
However, the down side is that there are tons of weeds near the shore.  If you can tolerate walking through them, than this is it.  As a result, Mason Neck is best in Spring on a NW when there are no weeds.

2) For a longer drive for you, consider Elk Neck S.P.  The link is:
http://www.windsurfresource.com/elk_neck,_md.htm
but is a 2 hour drive from NVA.  Has a large fetch and faces NW.

3) Another option is to go to Saint Mary's college:

this too is a 2 hr drive from NVA.  This too is good on a NW, and you can
possibly hang out with other windsurfers there at the school that Farrah Hall started

4) Another option is Oxford:  http://www.windsurfresource.com/oxford,_md.htm
this is about a 90 min drive from NVA

5) Or, you can drive the 3 hours to Dewey Beach DE:

Hi Jim,
 
Thanks for the great website. I actually live in Gaithersburg now and I did'nt think there were any places to sail from down on the Potomac. Have you ever sailing down here? Maybe I'll check those launches out this weekend.

Thanks again, Dave.
