I love sailing in the desert! LAKE MEAD! But I also sail the World! Lake Mead Marina is my home base in Boulder City. This can be the most frustrating and rewarding place to sail. Challenging fickle shifting winds, extreme temperatures, backdropped by a wild, austere landscape that transforms minute by minute. I started this channel originally to help new boaters on Lake Mead discover the many hidden coves and marinas and learn how to navigate the crazy weather extremes this lake has to offer.
I also offer instructional videos and boat maintenance how-to's. I am a certified American Sailing Association instructor and America's Boating Club (Las Vegas Sail and Power Squadron) Sail instructor. Currently, I am a Bpard Member (Secretary) of the National Women's Sailing Association.

Parade of Lights 2023 Lake Mead #thdesertsailor
How many have I done....and won?
This time with some new decorators and participants!
Resolution, Catalina 27, looked fabulous. She won first place in the sailboat category. a first time category for Boating Lake Mead, who runs the event. There were 2 other sailboats.
Conditions were pretty hairy with some winds and no full moon.
See ya next year!

How many miles do you think you could get on your little Merc with a full tank? Speed?
How much of this trip is just sitting on the cat watching the scenery?
Hello Nice teaching, I made my Lewmar exactly as you. Many thanks
Windy!!!
such a good video, thank you for the great tips
Glad it was helpful!
you gonna explain that white powder on your nose ma’am?
Lame
You don't like these winch handles? I want a big fan of them either.
Absolutely gorgeous short my friend
Thanks!
<------ is Josh, but shhhh. I advised Rachel to sandblast her rudder, she obviously didn't listen. With a 100+ psi compressor, and a sandblasting gun, Rachel could've finished it in 5 minutes. Instead, being a Sagittarius, and stubborn, she spent 3 hours and 19 minutes and 15 discs at $3.50 each.
I guess if one has a sandblasted, one could try that first!
Crazy people just leave them too flog. I had to replace a main halyard once due to chafing and since then every line has been made taught and placed well away from anything it could flog against
They actually got you to go up there. You must have been the smallest
Thanks for video could not work out why little brass brackets would not go back in!
I hope it's all worked out now!
Very helpful. Ive got an old sail i was going to bin. Not anymore. Thx
How often should you do this? Thanks for the great video!
NICE JOB!
Thank you, many useful suggestions
Hi! How can we go sailing to Lake Mead?
Beautiful! One Day i’d like to buy one like this one.
Great video! Thank you from Italy
Nice work and great hints!
I'm glad it helped.
Can the tailer be located around the circle in any of four places or is there only one place it goes when reassembling? I mounted my winch and the tailer isn't pointed where I want it to be.
Can a non-self tailing winch that is just like your self-tailing be upgraded to self-tailing easily and is there a kit (Lewmar 14 or Lewmar 16)?
No I don't think one can "upgrade" but I'm not the expert so not sure!
Hey is there a reason all didn't install matching coax connectors? Just curious ...perhaps you wanted it smooth. Just seems strange after spending money on the cable why not connect properly. That's not to say your solution won't work great but just seems if your worried about the coax separating then why not. Just saying;) otherwise nice job
the best ,clear and nice teacher.
Thanks for the support!
Thank you! Great tips, planning our first sailboat light parade for next year, this was so helpful and you’re so sweet & pleasant to watch!
You are a great captain! Thank you Naomi for your knowledge! Maybe next time we can fly the spinnaker 🤪
Thank you for suggestions and tips.
You're welcome!
Thank you very much you’re really awesome
That's sweet. Thank you for watching.
It says more about me but I always take a small hand coffee grinder. Also a pair of two way radios which are useful when laying shore lines.
I bring Walkie talkies too! And a huge amount of my own freshly grounded coffee from home as it is always so expensive in the Caribbean.

Orsum vid thanks 😊
Thank you, Naomi, for an excellent video. I am learning to back my 1965 Pearson Ariel 26 after adding a transom-mounted outboard when the inboard engine died. I'm finding that backing out steering with the outboard, then after the sometimes tricky transition from reverse to stop to forward, switching to the tiller seems to give the most predictable result with the full keel Ariel. I also appreciate the comments. It's comforting to know there are so many of us learning how to get along with our boats.
It's all about finding what works for you! Thanks for the comment!
This is good advice if your OB is mounted in a well such as is the case here. However, I have found that when my OB was secured to the boat on a transom OB mount, it was easier to maneuver the boat by steering her with the OB while holding the tiller amidships. That way you can use the thrust of the OB to quickly and accurately pivot the boat. Once you get use to it, you can use a combination of OB and tiller to maneuver the boat and impress yourself and others with your boat handling skills.
It's so true! Sometimes one is hanging way over the transom! And gear shifting and steering is easier done with anchored tiller and moving outboard directly. Whatever works! Sometimes I use both in parallel in really tight turns.
The, Good day,incredible , 📢
Indeed it was a great day!
Omg, this looks absolutely amazing my friend! Stunning scenery!
Well worth the drive. So much beautiful scenery so close to Las Vegas.
Looks like a nice day for it!
It was!
awesome i luv it
THANKS!
Can you make a guide for dummys version please 😂😂
Haha!
Great video! I maintained my Lewmar according to your instructions. Thanks!
Good to hear! Glad I could help!
Might want to mention prop walk.
Not a ton with this little motor. Much more on my diesel and deep heavy keel. Biggest issue is when the engine kicks up when put into reverse gear.
thanks, a big help!
I am so glad!
Wow! This video is awesome!!
Very Cool! Always heartwarming to see family celebrate a milestone.
I am so honored to have him as my sailing buddy and original teacher!
Happy 90th birthday to the helmsman! You raised a fine daughter/sailor. What a beautiful place to sail.
Aw! Thanks Kirk!
I'm about to have to replace the antenna and possibly cable on our Irwin 38 that just got hit by lightning. Which antenna did you get and how long was the cable you put in? Did you cut/splice it or have to use any extensions or was it the right length to go to your equipment? Oh, and just curious, what do you use the block(s) on the back side of the mast on that screwed-in bracket for? Thanks!
Thanks for the questions. I'll have to watch the video again to refresh my memory!
@@TheDesertSailor lol, no worries. I was able to cut and put a new end on up top without replacing the cable last year. I still gotta make our video from the lightning damage. Thx for the reply
thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video and excellent winch service work too. You can join me on my yacht any time you want
experts oil the pawls after they are assembled oil will soon find its way in.
How neat, didn't know you all did training down there too! This may have been when I saw all the sailboats out on the lake together, was one of the coolest things all those bright sails shining in the sun against the desert backdrop. Be safe out there!
Whew the wind looks intense that day... cruising by the afternoon though!😎
