Our speed boat lost an engine while I was bobbing at the end of a tow rope, and we enjoyed the feeling of alternating between cool dips, and the evaporting energy of the intense sun. When I got home, I had such a bad sun burn, I could not move, literally, I had a high temperature, and was nauseous. I guess this was my first experience with a first-degree sun burn. So, Lake Havasu has a special place in my memories -- the bad ones. /s/ Paul Mitchell
