Arrived in Arizona

Post by pat taylor »

We arrived in Arizona on Saturday. Two and one-half days of driving a Penske truck, with no cruise control, and a lousey AM/FM radio. It is good to read the chat line and see that the water sailing season is starting. I have been pretty busy, but as soon as I score a good session on Lake Pleasent, I will post it. The weather here has been really nice. I have a small pool, so I have been in the water. Have a good sailing season. Pat.

Pat, we want to know when the best winds are, how much you are going to charge for floor space?.
At least living in a sunny area you might be able to get a decent tan at last, you always looked so white!.
Don't be a stranger, good luck!.

Steve: You and Nancy, or for that matter, anyone is welcomed to stay here any time you want. Although I assume most people would pick the winter months. I have not sailed Pleasent Lake yet, but I stayed there once, and sailors were sailing it. That day the wind was out of the NE. Talking to the sailors, it sounded a lot like sailing da Bear. There are other lakes(reservoirs) in the area. The Phonex sailors have a web site like Minnesot, but there is not much activity on it. I hope that is not a sign of the sailing activity. I alreadyl miss the sailors and sailing activity in Minnesota, and I have not even been gone a week. Pat.
