I am looking for a decent place to sail in the easterly that may hit us
on Saturday. Massachusetts or Rhode Island would work for me. I would
love to have an area that offers some safe sailing so my wife could go
out as well. Any thoughts?

If you want to go to RI, Fogland is probably one of the more popular
and safest beaches out there. It's totally flat and fairly shallow in
low tides (waist/chest deep from 5ft to 300ft off the shore).

Hey, this is the Pete from North Grafton you met last week at Fogland.
(BTW, we got skunked for the rest of the day, unfortunately...)
I second the post above that says Third Beach is good on Easterlies. I
think it is supposed to veer to SE later in the day, but that is still
okay. There is a point that protects from the chop from the south, so
if the wife and kids will will likely feel comfortable and safe if they
stick close to shore.
I will probably see you there, I am currently lobbying the wife and
kids to join me for Saturday!

Hi Pete,
I figured that with you serious ***ion to this sport that you would
be lurking on this site fairly regularly.
It may blow fairly strong on Saturday and I would love to get out.
Third Beach might be the ticket. Do you think that they would let a
person in there with a small RV?

I am not sure about the RV at the Third Beach Parking lot, I don't
recall seeing any there in the past (but of course I wasn't looking),
but there is an RV park right down the road, so you probably would be
okay etiher way.
It may end up being *too* windy for family windsurfing on Saturday, but
I wouldn't mind getting out on my 4.7. The forecast will be more solid
by Thursday/Friday, let's see what develops. I am even thinking about
playing hooky and going down there on Friday (in addition to Saturday).
