Windsurfing
I was wondering how many fellow RV’rs and rv.net enthusiasts also have the windsurfing bug? I would be interested in hearing about, and seeing (pics) of, places you have been and how you outfit your ...

Thanks Rice for the outstanding comprehensive write-up on Hatteras, I will definitely be referring to it when we get to Ocracoke next week.
Regarding your question about McConaughy and walking equipment down: you can't see it, but in the 1st picture just to the right of my rig there are stairs cut into the bluff side--made for a very easy walk down. Since my buddy was down below in his truck camper, I left my gear down there all week. I'm not sure if that was such a good idea though as sand got into my mast--the two pieces were so tight it was like they were welded together--to get them undone I had to use tie-straps and pull them apart using our pickup truck!! I guess I need to clean my gear and get all that fine sand out.
That's funny about Oklahoma--I have relatives or "kin folk' as they say in OKC. Been meaning to stop by there as they have a lake right in the city called Hefner that is supposed to be a very good spot.
Very nice Jibe Rice in the video, I'm sure you could teach me a thing or two! Corpus looks great and I may PM you about further info (where to stay, etc) as we get closer to that trip. And tell Carey that's an awesome shot--I can see why he needs an escort on the water!
We do have one 80 watt solar panel mounted on the roof--I'd like more. We are power hogs. This summer I decided to forego extra solar in favor of two Honda 2000i generators. The generator that came with our rig runs on propane (rig motor is a diesel) and is very inefficient. We are well-versed in quiet etiquette, so should be ok.
Thanks for the info regarding the cell phones in Corpus--we have a wilson range extender. So far, it's been great at bringing in signals in marginal areas. The real test will be Ocracoke--last year we had to use a pay phone--all we could do was laugh as we got put on hold while standing like fools in the rain.
Congratulations Wind Surfer--it sounds like you are well on your way to full timing. I don't know much about 5th wheelers, but you seem to have the organizing well in hand. Hope to see you soon at all the spots you've wanted to visit!
