HAPPY NEW YEAR BCYC!!
As we navigate into 2019 our ship is running strong and steady as she goes. I thank Commodore Colin Soucy and all those who contributed and participated in BCYC in 2018 to make this happen. It would take too much verbiage to recognize the major efforts some Yakkers continually make and I do not want to leave anyone out. Just go to the BCYC web site and take time to look back over the years at the happy faces year after year and know we are truly part of something very special. The BCYC new year really starts in July when we begin lining up our staff and getting people and events in place for the coming year. The only way to fully appreciate the TEAM effort and hours required that brings us to this point is to serve on the BOG, a staff position or host an event, so pony up folks because we need you to help keep BCYC the best yacht club on the Bay. Our BCYC web site has it all. The who, what, why, where and when is at you finger tips and it is also a work in progress so we need your continued input, comments, suggestions and photos to keep it sharp. Don’t hesitate to ask how to post something on the BCYC site; if all else fails Tom Bernhart is our go to. At last count, we have over 42 events planned for 2019, that’s not far from weekly but BCYC North and South overlap. Suffice it to say we have a great year planned. One of our upscale kickoff events is the change of watch at the Naval Academy (let’s make it black tie optional and boat shoes are allowed, thank you WF).
As we all move along in years, the bond between BCYC members becomes even stronger. As your new commodore I am very proud to be a Yakker and I will do my best to keep this ship running steady as she goes into 2019.
Benjamin Wilson, Commodore BCYC
