Lake Mohave Katherine Landing D-28 Rendezvous April 3 - 5, 2009

Mark your calendars now for April 3 - 5 and plan on another fun-packed rendezvous at Katherine Landing on beautiful Lake Mojave, near Laughlin, NV. The date has been confirmed with the Lake Mohave Resort management and we have been assured the "motorcycle boys" won't be there until three weeks later! The weather is likely to be beautiful, the lake is full, so all we need is YOU! You do not need a boat to participate. We will make certain you get assigned to a boat so you will not miss any of the fun.

The Lake Mohave Power Squadron and the Phoenix Sail and Power Squadron are co-hosting this popular annual event and inviting the other D-28 Squadrons to join us. This rendezvous is all about boating activities and fun on the water. There will be plenty of boats for everyone to get out on the lake. And, of course, the food will be in abundance, as always. So plan now to attend whether you can bring a boat or not.

Reservations are required. If you are staying in the motel, Please call Dora Moore at 928-754-3245 to make your motel, campground, and slip reservations. She is there Monday through Friday 0800 - 1500 daily. If you can't reach Dora, you can call the Irvine Reservation Center at 800-752-9669. Either way Be sure to mention that you are with the Phoenix Sail and Power Squadron to get our special rates which are the same as they have been in recent past years:

Motel	1 King	$60.00 per night
	2 Doubles	$70.00 per night
	Kitchen Units	$90.00 per night

You will need a credit card to put down a deposit of your first night's charges plus tax. Boat slips can be guaranteed only if you are staying in the motel. If you make your slip reservation with Dora, please let Jerry or Kathy Anderson know also, so we can add you to the "boat list".

You may stay aboard your boat in the slip. If you want to reserve a slip but are not making a motel reservation, make your slip reservation with Jerry or Kathy at 480-540-9494 or Andersjd@msn.com. Be sure to give Jerry or Kathy your boat length, AZ or CA number, and arrival and departure dates. Dora assures me that she will make slips available for Power Squadron members that weekend. But you must let us know. I will be fax'ing her our updated slip requirements each week. Please give us your slip requirements as soon as possible.

The entrance fee to Katherine Landing is $5.00 for the 1st vehicle and $10.00 for your boat. The entrance fee and tenting campground are National Park Service facilities, so Golden Age cards are good for a discount for those 62 or better. If you qualify, the Park Service personnel can sell you a Golden Age card on your way in. It is good for all National Parks, National Forest boat ramps and campgrounds, etc.

The Planning Committee for this event is still working on many of the details for the rendezvous.

A fun and exciting time is planned at the upcoming rendezvous at Katherine Landing, near Laughlin, NV. Come join us for a Friday night cocktail party (bring hors d' oeuvres) on the motel lawn and dinner on you own after (possibly prime rib dinner at the Riverside Casino or seafood buffet at the Edgewater in Laughlin). On Saturday morning, participate in a special event by Lake Mohave and the Raft-up, tour beautiful Lake Mohave. Enjoy a dinner on the grille under the ramada on Saturday night then sing along to the Karaoke machine into the wee hours. On Sunday, meet us at the restaurant then challenge yourself and crew with our Predicted Log Contest. There is something fun for everyone, particularly the kids in the group and those of us who still think we are kids!

The Phoenix Sail and Power Squadron is assisting the Lake Mohave Squadron is hosting this popular annual event, and we are expecting an excellent turnout from the D28 Squadrons.

No boat, or boat in San Diego or docked at Lake Pleasant? No problem! You do not need to bring a boat to participate! We hope to have all types of boats available so that everyone will be able to get out on the water and enjoy the action. New members particularly are encouraged to get involved with the Squadron and join us for a fun weekend.

A newly revised Poker Run will happen on Saturday morning. Lake Mohave is going to setup the game and rules. The hints indicate more than one game on the water on Saturday. Bring your GPS or someone else, dead reckoning skills, sense of humor, and sharp wit and prepare to use your navigating skills. The poker run will lead us up lake, where we will raft up for lunch. Some boats may venture on up toward Willow Beach and the dam after lunch. Others may explore the lake . Saturday evening we will award prizes, followed by a group of grown and mature men and women howling at the moon in concert with the coyotes and trying to tell you they are singing with the karaoke machine. On Sunday morning we will run a Predicted Log Contest followed by a early lunch before leaving.
