I received a question about conditions on the Outer Banks from More Downhaul with no return email. Water in Roanoke Sound where we sail from Nags Head is warm. I would guess around 76F. I didn't wear a wetsuit when I sailed. The ocean is cooler. Today we surfed the ocean wearing shorties and were comfortable.

Concerning mosquitos, none of us have had a mosquito bite where we are staying. Last year after the hurricane, the mosquitos were bad when we first arrived and then diminished.
