I highly doubt it, but I got a scare when Billy T (who I met on the ice at Bellport last month) posted in the Yahoo Long Island Windsurfing Group that shifting sands had wrecked the break at Democrat Point, or Demo. This would be terrible not only for all the people who love sailing the place, but for me personally (feel my potential pain!) as sailing Demo is my #1 New Years Windsurfing Resolution.
In all likelyhood Demo is fine. Last year my beloved Ponquogue didn’t seem to be working for a day, and in a panic I posted concerns which were disproved (by a fine session) the very next day.
Sands do shift, though. The darn things should stay put and keep everybody happy.
