What a great way to cap off FBYC's year.
More than 140 members celebrated the close of the "regular" sailing season at the Annual Meeting and Commodore's Ball in Richmond last week. We announced our new Flag officers and board members, acknowledged our numerous award winners, danced and dined, and simply basked in each other's company.
All the details will be shared in the Log and future emails. But first, check out your fellow FBYC members enjoying the evening:

Materials begin to arrive on the 15th of November and will be primarily stored in the lot to the west of Fannies with the big red crane. The two lots between Fannies and the Bath House will be closed to members as of the 11/24/2021 and given to the contractor for his use. If you need to access the East or West Piers please park across the street or in the lot by the dumpsters. All boats need to be off the West Pier by the 11/28/2021 as demolition will start the on 11/29/2021(Monday). Thank you in advance for staying out of harm's way. Questions to Mark Wensell or Steve Montgomery.

The wind blew stink all week but that didn't stop our offshore boats from racing or our oysters from tasting sweet.
Well over 175 members slurped and shucked till they were stuffed during our Closing Day Race and Oyster Roast. Our stellar social chairs, Karen and Gary Akens, and their volunteer crew, served up three types of chili and hotdogs while resident musician Mike Dale entertained us all.
Folks were spread all over the campus, inside and out, so it felt comfortable being with each other after a two-year "pause." Also thanks to FBYC's Eric Perkins and member Carl Simon for doing double duty, roasting our catch.
Now on to the Commodore's Ball!
