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 ...

Carey's folding mountainbike is highly modified and he works on it all the dang time. But he loves riding it--the 20" tires make even fairly easy stuff challenging and fun, and it can handle the challenging terrain.
I still ride one of the KHS folding bikes we bought back in 2004 or so, but I'm about 1/100 as tough on mine as he is on his. In fact, mine is made of the leftover parts of the two we bought at the same time; he destroyed one of them.
I demoed a Specialized Safire (women's mtb) at the Big Bend event. It was great rolling through soft stuff that usually stops me cold, but other than that, all it did was make harder terrain easier to tackle, and I'm not really interested in harder terrain--I just like having fun.
We both sold our houses in 2003. (We'd never even lived together when we moved into the RV!) They sat on the market with almost no showings, much less offers, for six months. Then we both got offers on the same day, and they closed within a couple of days of each other. It would have been great, except the RV was in the shop so we had no place to live, or to put all our stuff.
My recommendation for another computer comes from a previous post where you said, "The real issue we are going to have to deal with, is only having one computer." I never realize how much I'm on the computer until we're somewhere that Carey can't access his desktop computer (it's under the bed, which he modified to come to vertical (instead of an angle, like most motorhome beds over the engine) and a desk cantilevers out with the computer and monitors on it, but we can't deploy it when the bedroom slide is in and we never put the slide out if we're somewhere like Walmart).
If he needs/wants to be on the computer, he uses mine and I obviously can't be on it then, and I'm the one who does all the travel planning and logistics. I'm happy to read a book instead, but if the slide is in we're probably traveling and I need to be logisticizing. Or mindlessly surfing the internet.
My computer is a big old laptop (desktop replacement) that the battery doesn't work, so last year we added a netbook-sized computer to our quiver. We use that when we're in the car or can tolerate the tiny screen. It uses a lot less electricity than either of our other computers, and has a 12-volt plug that works in the RV. (We have a modified sine wave inverter and it burned up the AC power cord on that computer--our other two computers work fine on it, though.)
Your computer needs are bound to be different, but if it was a concern to you at all, then be mindful. If it looks like you need another, I wouldn't let it fester.
I tried to PM you, but you don't accept them. Yeah, you have to have photos on another website to link to them. For a while, some of the services like photobucket or flickr or whatever didn't allow links to them (understandable--it's their server space). I don't know what it's like now because I just put them on my own website and link to that. If you don't have a place to host the photos you wanted to post here, let me know and you can email them to me and I'll upload them on our site and you can link to that. I love looking at how people arrange their stuff in the limited space they have, especially problematic shapes like masts and booms.
