Yes, most of the Sunfish activities are on the Spanish Water, or out in the Caribbean Sea.I've got relatives in Curaçao but I've never actually sailed there. I think they sail near Spanish Waters on the south side of the island. I've been out in the swells on a Boston whaler going from Jan Thiel to Klein Curaçao which was pretty amazing. You'd go into a trough and then back to the crest of the wave with flying fish and dolphins tagging along to keep you company.
Im hoping to sail around Shelter Island. No, not in the famous race, but just spend the day sailing around on my own. I’ve also fantasized about sailing around Long Island. Not around the end of Montauk point, but I’d start on the north shore and go around Orient point into Gardiners bay and follow the peconic River on the north side of Shelter island. Head south through Peconic bay down through Shinnecock canal and take the south bays back east towards Patchogue. Definitely not a single day trip and most likely not on the sunfish. Although it would be quit the adventure on a fish.
Seaotter, I sailed a Hobie 17 from Assateague Island! I hand rolled the trailer up the boardwalk, pulled the boat onto the sand, dragged it to the shore, carried the mast, sail, rudders, wings, etc down the beach and set it up. Sailed for a while (Man! Breakers are hard to punch through!). Then I had to get it back up to the trailer!!
I solicited 5 guys surfing, offering liquor for their troubles. The 6 of us hoisted the 320# boat up on our shoulders (mast still up!), and carried it up the beach to set it on the trailer...
The party that night was legendary. Other campers on the beach no doubt still talk about us, not in a happy way...
