I've heard that there's a large lake in NW Arizona - do people sail on
it? Is it the one that has the Hoover Dam at the blocked-up end?

Yes AKA: Lake Mead; however, probably too cold to enjoy at Christmas time.

We're going to make our way from LV back to LA between New Year and 10th
Jan,which is when we exit USA for home. Can you charter a day sail in LA
or do you need to go south a bit?

Yes, day charter available; however, it will be cold.

Lots to see and enjoy in L/A area.

What are your interests other than sailing?

I think you guys are right about the cold bit. I live on the seaside at 32
south so I don't really know what proper cold is. That Lake Mead is the one
I've heard about - I suppose it'll be worth just going to have a look at it
even without the sail.

Other interests are Walking, Food, Diving. I suppose mostly I just want to
see what's in front of me and around me and drink it all in. 16y-o daughter
wants to go to Rodeo Drive. 20y-o son is an Elvis fan and also wants to buy
some genuine cowboy boots while we're in the States.

We've been back and forth to Asia for many years but this is our first
States trip.
