Things to do? Boating doesn't seem big unless you go to San Diego.


I find it somewhat difficult to accept the above statement. Arizona has an
extremely enthusiastic boating population, with various factions focusing on
their preferred aspects of the sport. I've been a boater in Arizona since
the late fifties (as a kid with my dad), bought my first boat shortly out of
high school and many since, and still spend virtually every weekend on my
boat, including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night just passed. In the last
72 hours, I have witnessed fisherman in bass boats, wakeboarders catching
big air, PWC people doing what they do, and cruisers chasing a glorious
Arizona sunset at a lazy 8 knots, cocktail in hand (oops, that was me). Not
bad for January. I have boated every body of water that you can launch a
powerboat in Arizona, and have kept a boat in San Diego, as well.

It might well be that I could be a credible informational resource for you,
in regards to boating in the Southwest. Career and housing advice might be
better left to others. Boating truly is my strong suit. It would help to
know what type of boat you have or are looking to acquire, and what you like
to do with it. With a little more information about what boating means to
you, I would be willing and able to answer any regional boating questions
you may have with some authority.
