What Dave said: All of Puget Sound and B.C. waters up to Johnston Strait. Also Clayoquot Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Want to try Nootka Sound someday soon with our 14’ gunter yawl.

"estuary" would probably have been a popular response.

Buzzards Bay out of Cape Cod is my territory

From Red Brook Harbor where I am moored across the Cape Cod Canal to mainland Massachusetts or along the western edge of the Cape to Woods Hole. A great area for my Typhoon to poke around, land at islets, and sail in to small coves.

We sail Morro Bay often, but also outside the bay in the larger Estero Bay (I guess it's kind of open ocean) - BUT we have a few great sailing lakes on the Central Coast of CA. Last year they filled for the first time in probably 20 years - same this year - so we have a LOT of great sailing here - and it's year-round too! BLESSED!!

The coast of Maine for me. My “trailer sailor” is kept on a mooring, so I can go out whenever the wind beckons.

As of today I sail on lakes with friends, BUT!, I'm scouting for a 20ish footer to rebuild before retirement (3 years).

The Neuse River between New Bern and Oriental North Carolina. In New Bern it is one mile wide. 18 miles east in Oriental it is two miles wide opening into Pamlico Sound. Practically perfect.

Same here, I guess the Salish Sea is really an 'inland sea' which includes many types of both open and closed water bodies including the Sound, straits, inlets, bays, fiords, a canal, narrows, rapids, passages, and could even include two lakes.
