Kevin,
I've heard that story also, and driving around this dry place you would be amazed at how many boats there are! I don't know if it is just a novelty to own a boat with no water around or maybe it's because so many people from other parts of the country live here and have brought their boats here or at least the desire to continue in their boating traditions. I do wish there were more cat or sailing shops here. We have only one sailboat shop that I know about in the state.
But as you can tell from our fleet, the love of sailing does strange things to people, even desert rats!
