Waterford Yacht Club Newsletter – July 2026
RECENT EVENTS
WYC & WHM: Galveston Bay Education June 13th – The Recreational Boater Guy, Phillip Kropf, presented several great ideas for fully enjoying all Galveston Bay has to offer boaters. Thank you Rear Commodore Steve Nolin for arranging the event.
Moody Gardens Overnight – Fair weather and the desire to use our boats encouraged a large group of WYC members to tie-up at Moody Gardens in Galveston Island Offatts Bayou. We took over the dock and then enjoyed the restaurant, pyramid attractions, and the fireworks for a great weekend. Thank you Fleet Captain Amy Holdaway for organizing the event!
WYC Swag – Former Yachtsman of the Year Elfie Boersma has secured a small order of yacht club logo caps for sale. The hats are priced at only $25 each and, while supply lasts, available at upcoming club events. Also replace your missing or weather beaten WYC burgee with a fresh new one for only $35. Look for, or contact Treasurer Vickie Voorhies.
Lost and Found – After an exhaustive search through the Sundance Grill II, manger Paula Price and server Kayland found our missing 6 foot ‘Waterford Yacht Club’ banner.
