That would be great. I would love someone to come to Havasu and sail together a couple of days and then head to Lake Pleasant a few hours away. Keep in touch. I leave December 28th for Havasu but will have email and phone. My phone is 541-306-1848 Doug

Thanks, Doug. That is a generous and really tempting offer. I have a Monty 17 on a trailer here in Brenham,Tx. Just might take you up on your offer next winter. Fair winds.\ Tom Buzzi

I live at Lake Havasu for the winter and sail my M15. I stay at Crazy Horse Campground which is situated right on the lake. There is tent camping right at the beach in that campground. There are good bathrooms with good showers as well plus a small store, pool, and small marina. Its one half mile from town on the island.
Why do I bring this up? If anyone wants to come early or stay late for the AZ Winter Messabout at Lake Pleasant and spend some time at Lake Havasu, I am in a 40’ fifth wheel right on the beach. There is room for one or a couple in my luxury fifth wheel or in a tent at my fifth wheel location. I have lots of room where I am situated. Or you could tent camp on the sand by the lake but there is a small fee. Just offering this as an option free of charge. We have campfires on the beach at night, have group guitar led sing-a-longs, and go sailing. Caution: Sometimes the wind is much too strong to sail.
Feel free to post this anyway you want or disregard it entirely.

Lake Pleasant, AZ Winter Messabout February 15 Thru February 17 Any and all small sail powered craft are welcome – Potter, Montogomery, Sage, Compact, Welsford designs, Oughtred designs, CLC designs, self designed, ect – basically every one! Average daytime highs are 70 degrees and lows of around 48, lots of Sunshine. Come and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow small boaters and plenty of sunshine. Camping on the shore with room for tents and RVs but no water or electricity. Non-primitive camping available about 5 miles away and hotels/Motels are about 12 miles away. Scorpion Bay Marina and Pleasant Harbor Marina are about 3 miles away by water. Group campfires at night.Brats on the Beach (no sandy beaches at Lake Pleasant)Bragging rights for event winners! Lots of on the water activities in a protected area with: - possible 8 mile RAID event with remote desert camping - possible 5 or 10 mile long distance race(s) following same general course as the RAID but finish is back at the start. - rowing/paddling events - exploring events - just messing about. - "Itinerary" to follow.
Location is dependent on water level, but is likely to be in a deep narrow creek with little swing room so large boats need to be aware (unless they have a dinghy?) Best if the bow of your boat can be pulled up on a gravelly shore with stern anchor (deep water little scope) or pull the boat on shore. (roller or pad for hull protection is a good idea) RSVP with interests/questions to GILASAILR@aol.com Fees:No messabout fees except for Brats on the Beach Park Fees - Daily access $7 - Daily non motorized boat - $2 - Primitive camping fee - $15
