John,
Remember where he lives. Port Royal Sound is adjacent to Hilton Head, and almost to the Georgia state line. The current offshore water temperature at the buoy nearest Port Royal Sound is 54 degrees – warmer than Lake Superior ever gets. By the 1st of March, air temperatures will be as high as anything Fred is likely to see in Minnesota all summer and the flowers will be in bloom. Heck, the flowers will be in bloom all the way up here in North Carolina, and the ICW will be full of snowbirds heading north. Oops. Forget I said anything. As Dennis pointed out, if we talk about great weather, great sailing, and low cost of living all you folks in the frozen North (which, unfortunately, looks like it includes Atlanta and New Orleans tomorrow evening) will want to move here.

"Need some Guidance" Normally I would encourage anyone to set and do what they're planning. In this case however - why in the world would you pick March to try your first near shore sail? Everyone's thinking it - I'm just saying. John
