Hi there,
I need some ideas on where to spend Thanksgiving sailing, and after checking airfares from upstate NY (Albany, really upstate!) to anyplace really warm, I took those places off the table. I am off from the day before Thanksgiving to that Sunday, five days, so we can leave Tuesday night, two days before Thanksgiving.
We are very novice sailors, been sailing all summer but always with a more experienced sailor, so we would like to go to a place where we can take some lessons for a couple of the days, and then maybe rent a Soling or J type boat for the last day or two. We are over 14 hours to the Carolinas, so they are out. I was thinking the Chesapeake, but I don't know if there is any sailing still going on down there around Thanksgiving. I know it gets cold there, but cold is relative. (We sailed last Saturday on Champlain, did a race, and it was 37 degrees at the start!) But marinas and sailing schools may be closed by Thanksgiving.
Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance!!
