Waterford Yacht Club Newsletter – July 2023
Recent Events
Pub Crawl: What an event a; triple stop Clear Lake Shores crawl! First: past commodore Mike and our favorite charcuterie planner, Tina Pantoja, opened their home to us with a delicious offering of wine and appetizers. Next, we adjourned to the nearby Galveston Bay Brewery for an assortment of local craft beers. Then, as the evening temperatures cooled, we walked across the street to Aspens, occupied much of the palapa, and enjoyed more cool beverages and live music. As with all of the WYC events there was abundant chit-chat. Thank you Soical Director Michelle who planned much of the event and photo bombed one of the pictures below; can you see her? In total almost 40 members and guests participated.

Freeport Cruise – Friday Sept 1 to Monday Sept 4: WYC will go offshore (or the ICW) to Freeport Bridge Harbor Marina for the long weekend.

Birthday Bash Pool Party – Saturday Sept 30 6:00pm to 9:00: Who would’ve thought that Waterford Yacht Club is still here after 24 years? We’ll have a party at the marina pool to celebrate. Look for an Evite with details and expect to dress casual.
Pirate Party – Saturday Oct 14 5:00pm – 8:00: Ahoy ye would be pirates. Join your maties at the Railean Buccaneer Bar for some grub and grog. Be the best dressed or most fearsome pirate and win valuable booty plus a fist full of gold doubloons.
