Waterford Yacht Club Newsletter – October 2024

Recent Events

WYC Birthday Party – The party was a birthday we could all celebrate.  We splashed around in the marina pool, ate pizza, won door prizes, enjoyed delicious custom cupcakes, and watched an outdoor movie.  Volunteer Simone Gordon did a masterful job of coordination for the more than 20 members who attended.  Thank you Simone!

Pancake Breakfast – Members had stacks of fluffy pancakes with all the trimmings (including bacon) and mimosas at this early morning event.  Volunteer host Teresa More made sure we got our fill, and a great start to a lazy Sunday.  Thank you Teresa!

CPR Class – Life saving techniques were practiced at this special education event.  Fourteen members attended, took a test and are now certified in Basic Life Support.  Many thanks to host Rear Commodore Bill Adams who did a great job in putting the seminar together.

On The Horizon

Chili Cookoff – This event will be both hot and delicious.  Bring a pot of chili (fav or experimental) or a side dish and win a kitchen door prize.

Battery Control Systems

Daniel Knierien, WYC Member and marine electrical expert, continues his hands-on lithium battery workshop. The session will feature a demo of Venus OS Monitoring, control, and history via local, online and MFD links. He will also demo an external-hybrid Battery Monitoring System with major components. Participation in the prior workshop is not required.

Volunteers: Let’s think about 2025.  WYC needs a few good yachties to help keep the club going.  It only takes some imagination and a few hours a month to make a big difference.  Several board positions are available so contact Steve Nolin or Daven Voorhies at commodore@waterfordyc.com or fleetcaptain@waterfordyc.com for more information.
