Snow (Birthday)
Cruise
Lake Pleasant
19 January 2008
This is the first cruise of the year
and is has the dual name of Snow and Birthday. Although snow
is rare in the lower elevations of Arizona, if we are going to
get any January is the prime time. The birthday is associated
with 15 Phoenix Sail & Power Squadron members with birthdays
in the month of January. Among them is P/C Connie Johnson, JN

Connie had her foot in a cast and was unable to walk so
alternate transportation to the launch ramp was arranged.
