Feb 2, 2012 Landsailing Playas New Mexico 2012 Playas is a go for this year! Dates for this year are May 2-6, 2012. Everything has been ironed out, and we have
added an extra day to the event. We can now get on the lakebed on Wed
May 2nd. Even bigger news; I asked Kathy to marry me,
she said yes. We decided to have our wedding on the lakebed at Playas
on Sat May 5th. Everyone who comes down is invited, bring lots of cash
for wedding gifts... just kidding! For those of you who have been there, you know
how much fun this event is. If you have not had a chance to experience
sailing at Playas, come join in the fun. Winds are usually consistent,
it is a rare day when you can't sail. The sailing and atmosphere is
very laid back, just bring what you sail and sail what you bring. If
you don't have a sailer, there are plenty of opportunities to try out
various rigs. We camp right on the lakebed, so you can sail anytime you
like. There are a few guidelines everyone needs to
know about Playas. Only sail or human powered vehicles are allowed, no
ATVs, gocarts or scooters allowed. The folks who organize this event
also spend considerable time and effort to allow us to sail year after
year. Please contribute at least $25 per person to cover expenses such
as lease payment and porta-potties. It's a bargain no matter how you
look at it. The folks who set this up for us would appreciate it if we
can send them funds in advance. If you would like to do so, email me
and I will send you their address. Playas was a great success last year. There
were 50-60 people there; we had great winds three out of four days. A
few newbies showed up and everyone had a blast. The best news is that
it looks like things have been ironed out to continue to hold the event
in future years. Looking forward to going back next year. Hope you can
join us. Check out a video of some sailing at Playas here We are now affering screen printed t-shirts
with the windisfun logo on front and
back,Amaze your friends! If you are interested email for details. We recently purchased a Santana 21 sailboat, check out some pics and info here. Ice sailing:A couple of us went to Georgetown Lake for a great day of sailing last season, and a reporter from the Denver Post came along for the day. We all had a blast sailing. Check out the pics here. I often get questions regarding ways to transport a landsailor. Check out this page to see some creative ways to get your rig to your sailing spot. Ever wondered how to have a campfire, and the ability to cook over it as well? The tub from a washing machine makes a wonderful firepit, and with a few modifications it can be used almost anywhere. We use this setup for all our campfire/cooking needs. Email me if you have any questions.
Good Winds!!
