By DAVE KADLECK Deseret News Sports Writer fniimniimmuiniHiiMiurmiimiiniminmiitiiiminMiTifiiHmiifumn An angry BEAR LAKE wind, taunted and teased for its lack of gusto, had final say over the weekend as it capsized and soaked a good share of Mountain West sailors competing in the third annual Browning Arms Regatta. They say that there is more money spent for boats and boating in America than for any other or recreational equipment sporting ' Anyone who was at any of our lakes over the Fourth of July should be willing to agree. This reporter checked in at Pineview Reserin an effort to get a voir just after sunup seat in the sand. AH day people came and people went. Some soaked up the sun, others swam a little, walked the beaches, laid out for a snooze. And many went waterskiing, on one ski, two skis, boards, saucers, bathtubs, etc. Pineview had about all the use that it could accommodate. It didnt compare in patronage with Coney Island out of New York or the Dorchester Beaches in Englands Dorset County, or the French Riviera at Cannes, or Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, the La Paz waterfront of the Baja of California or the Mexican tourist tramp at Acapul- So complete was its punishment, sailors were giving hearty thanks to gracious motor boatmen who raced to their rescue. I didnt think I would see the day when a motorboat looked so good, smiled Joan Crebbin. And she and her husband-skippe- r Fred Crebbin won the final leg of Scow competition. It was wet out there, Flying Dutchman skipper Bob Gidding admitted after spending a half hour with his cap- co. d In my day Ive it in all these places even on the coolish corners of Lake Katrine in Scotland, and the darned cold Torquay Bay and Normandy Beaches. And this is to say that for a hot July day, with beach towel and breadbasket, a shaft of shade and kind company, Pineview Reservoir in Weber County (east of Ogden, near Eden) is hard to beat sun-suite- sized craft. t'HimwMrw Pacific Coast Was High Fashion Time was when it was fashionable to go to California and keep company with kelp and clams. This was a way of life to flop out off to the seashore at the Oregon coast, or busy Lake Tahoe with its camivalistic capers. But no more need us mountain people roam so far for our beach vacations. This isnt to say that our Lake Powell matches the reflective waters of the Mediterranean, or that the wake of the Bear Lake boat is comparable to the mammoth mountains of water that curl up and over above the Honolulu reef. It isnt to say that Flaming Gorge is better surfing than Guaymus or that Rockport Reservoir in any way compares to Switzerlands Lake Geneva. It is to say that last week a lot of people, who would never have been able to get their boats into the far places of our planet, found the local recreation spots very much to their liking. With A Whole Ocean cars In fact, there were many many trailparked in the lots around the lakes ers and campers staked out near the waterways. Some of the boats had other-stat- e licenses. With more water than weve ever had before, the mountain country has become the boating with fishing and attraction for many people out-of-sta- te sight-seein- g thrown in. In fact, it has become downright fashionable toxat at Pineview, or Echo Lake or Kolob Reservoir for the summers vacation.
