Airing Friday night at 8:15pm will be the fan favorite "Ghostbusters." This month's movie night will be located behind Fannie's house on the lawn, so bring your favorite picnic blanket or feel free to spectate from the balcony of Fannie's porch.

In anticipation of this fun new venue's use, our club's staff has been kind enough to treat the property for bugs...so there shouldn't be any reason to be scared of ghosts or mosquitoes!  All Friday night J70 sailors are encouraged to mosey on over after hauling to join the fun...

Since 2005 we have assembled over 23,000 photos in FBYC's Flickr Account.  These pictures have been viewed over 2,000,000 times.  Over the years, we have shared our old credentials with many different volunteer photographers.  Flickr has now been sold to SmugMug - and in the process they have forced us to change our credentials.  Please contact Strother, Brian, Paul Almany, or Karen Soule to get the new credentials so we can keep the photos coming.
