Aaron,

From Salt Lake, Bear Lake a 3 hour drive, at most. It would be a comfortable day trip; ie come up in the morning, rig, hope for good wind, sail, take down, drive home. Keeping it a day trip will cut down on the prep time and hassle factors. You can rig and launch off the expansive beach in front of my cabin. No hassles. No cost. No crowds. Very low key. How much easier can it get???

Your fiancee should not get disillusioned. SLC has tons to offer.

Right now I'm lookng out at the Carribean-colored water with a mild 5-10mph breeze; perfect for learning cat sailing.

Send me a "private message" if there's a day you can come up and I'll give you directions to the cabin. Next week sometime would be best.

If you can't swing it because of your upcoming wedding, I completely understand--I'll catch you next time.
