Thanks for sharing. When I got back into windsurfing 20 months ago, I
was using a 1984 Mistral Comp Light until I finally kept breaking so
many old components, that I never knew if I was going to sail or paddle
home. I finally took the plunge to buy some new equipment. The new
stuff rocks!

I have not sailed in SC or Canada, but do sail near Clearwater, FL on
occasion. I went with the Louisville crew last spring to Cape Hatteras,
and it was excellent.

Glad to hear your 13 year old son enjoys sailing too. Hopefully this
year will be his year to hook in and plane. My son is only 4 months
old, so I will not be taking him this season, but soon I hope.

I just found Lake Carnico, in Carlisle, KY on Google Maps. Do you live
near Lexington?

You mentioned Cox's Park in Louisville. Yes, some of the locals
frequent there, and I live only a mile from there, but I have had a
couple of scary days out there with currents, debris, and barges, so I
usually don't consider it as one of my options.

Take care,
Creston
