There are no decent sailing areas in the mountains. The wind changes too
much. It's great to learn to read the wind.

Are you thinking of Ruedi Reservoir?

Yup--that's it. Never been there, but we knew some folks who raced a
boat there. I seem to recall they had a Lightning. Sound familiar?

Never been on Ruedi. Sailed Lake Granby a bit. 8300 ft elevation.

I spent an hour on Granby one warm summer afternoon in the mid-70s. A guy
we met there told me to take his El Toro out and knock myself out. Nearly
did with the low boom, but had a ball. Wind was about 8kts. and the scenery
is tough to beat. Paradise it was, that day. That was in August, and the
lake water temp was still in the low 40s.
