District 28 Katherine Landing Rendezvous
April 20-22, 2012
Lt/C Sharon Weller

The 2012 Inland Rendezvous was a great success. The weekend began with a Welcome Party on Friday evening under the shade trees at the Katherine Landing Motel. We shared great snacks, beverages and conversation. There was a gentle breeze on Friday evening that helped cool us down from the hot temperature. LMSPS Squadron members that attended were, Mike and Barb Accardo, Pat and Barb Bramble, Dave and Maureen Evans, Vic and Jane Kearns, Bob and Bev Kelly, John and Jean Militello, Al and Eileen Trueman, Jo Anne Waller, and Joe and Sharon Weller. Attending from Oceanside, CA were Jerry and Marilyn Porter, and from Phoenix, AZ were, Bill and Connie Johnson, Dan, Kim and son Peter Sheen, Chuck and Jane Peterson, John and Pat Yount, Bonita Gibson with daughter Kimberley Wimberley and grandson Austin Estep.

Saturday morning breakfast at the Katherine Landing restaurant was a great time to plan our activities for the day. Four boats braved the somewhat windy morning and got on the lake by 10:00 AM. The Happy Puppy piloted by Jerry Porter with passenger Marilyn and the Aquastar piloted by Dan Sheen with passengers, Kim, Peter, Chuck and Jane Peterson, blasted all the way to Willow Beach, AZ. The #1 Seven Crown rental piloted by Bill Johnson with passengers Connie and Emma the dog, as well as passengers John and Pat Yount, Bonita Gibson with daughter Kimberley Wimberley and grandson Austin Estep and the SheepNTrees piloted by Joe Weller with passenger Sharon Weller and JoAnne Waller, explored the shoreline around Telephone Cove, and had lunch at Cholla Cove. After lunch, Bill's boat continued up the lake to the power lines, down to the dam and then back to the Katherine Landing marina. SheepNTrees made a short day of it and went back to the marina around 1:30 PM.

HOT & HOT were the words for Saturday night! Temperatures were reported to be 105 by 4:00 PM with a breeze under 5 mph. The group met under the ramada at the Katherine Landing picnic area for an evening BBQ. After grilling various meats, we enjoyed a pot luck dinner. As the sun set, we began to cool down and we were all happy to see the temperatures cool to 90 degrees. Thanks to Dan Sheen for bringing the lights and generator so we could "party" after dark. The Park Ranger stopped by to let us know that the "snakes were out and feisty" so he recommended we stayed near the lighted area and not venture into the darkness. After that warning, the party broke up and folks went back to their motel rooms and homes.

We had a great weekend and big thanks go out to everyone that attended and helped make this event a success.
