Arizona Sailor Says Hello

[gottoaz]

It is great to see so many sailors register today! I have never been to this site but it looks like great reading. I grew up In Michigan City on Lake Michigan and miss the Great Lakes, but this time of year I enjoy our year round sailing. I have moved "up" to a Catalina 250 after sailing for six years with a Hunter 170. I sail on Lake Roosevelt east of Phoenix and went out to check on the boat today. A beautiful sunset with snow capped mountains surrounding the lake. I hope to hear from forum members and continue learning about this great hobby.

Welcome to the CF!

I moved from Prescott to Texas in '95. There weren't enough sailing places out there for me!

Pretty sure you'll find just about all you need in the search engine... else post a question we can get confrontational over....
Enjoy...

Hi Gottoaz,

We've probably already met, but not sure. We had a Venture 24 and just bought the Capri 26- Tourist in Paradise in A-28.

Thanks to all for the welcome! I agree there are not enough places to sail in Az, but I will say we make the best of the weather.
A28 sounds familiar, I get out frequently and have met many of the sailoprs at Roosevelt. I only wish we had two things:

• Abetter developed internet community
• a webcam at the Sheriff's Station above the marina. many times I would liek to go to the lake but wonder about the conditions. A webcam from that vantage would pretty much say it all. I am going to ask our new sheriff for his help with this...
