I know this doesn't exactly fit here, but I finally found a place to sail in Albuquerque...not perfect but fun. Balloon Fiesta Park. Afternoons during the week you have to dodge soccer players, but over the weekend it is mostly empty except for a few kite flyers. Decent wind last Sunday got me up to about 40mph/65kph on the north south paved strips. Sailing in grass is challenging but fun. Makes me appreciate big dry lake beds. Next time I'll take a camera person.
