James,

I am in Winston-Salem and usually sail on Jordan Lake with my Hobie. I also have a Cape Cod catboat that I keep on Kerr Lake but wasn't able to get it in the water this year. Kerr is the largest lake in Virginia and extends a few miles into NC. It is half again bigger than Lake Norman and controlled by the Corps of Engineers so there aren't many houses around it. I am closest to Lake Norman but it is so built up and crowded that it is too dangerous. I have taken the boat to Emerald Isle and one year, had a week there of perfect sailing weather. I'm hoping for some rain to fill the lakes.
