Waterford Yacht Club Newsletter – December 2025

Recent Events

Holiday Cocktail Contest and Celebration – More than 20 members brought so many holiday cocktails cups of cheer we didn’t have enough outdoor table space and had to move the event indoors.  The delicious offerings ranged from chocolate, a warm liquor punch and rum tropical drinks.  Out of the ten entrants Elfie Boersma and Ronnie Beach made especially tasty beverages and won the contest prizes.

Boat Parade Happy Hour – Tony and Karen Townsend hosted our Happy Hour at their home and let us view the Nassau fireworks display from their front yard and a big part of the Clear Lake Christmas boat parade from their back patio.  It was the perfect event to finish our 2025 program!
