James,

There are some problems with Gaston Lake. First it is narrow and long and there is a causeway splitting the lake so sailboats are limited to one side or the other. Then there is a problem with hydrilla - weeds that choke up the lake, and the lake is crowded with homes all around it. It is relatively small. The good part about it is that the level is maintained at +/- a foot if possible by getting water from Kerr Lake. Kerr can fluctate quite a bit.

I am thinking about the regatta at Jordan also but it depends on how much rain we get to fill it back up.
