My son lives in Newnan, I was thinking of heading to west point sometimes.. ever sail there. where else around newnan is there?

Any Georgia sailors out there? I sail lake lanier and lake juliette and it looks like most of our local saillilng clubs have laser fleets but no sunfish fleets. I am looking for other sunfish sailors to do some practice match racing with on Sunday afternoons preferably at juliette since lanier...
