Waterford Yacht Club Newsletter – October 2025

Recent Events

Happy Hour Halloween Party – Tony and Karen Townsend graciously hosted a WYC party in their League City residence.  Many unusual visitors stopped by for tricks and treats including pirates, astronauts, witches, and fairies.

Dinghy Run – Local storms made small open boats on the lake a bad idea so Fleet Captain Elfie Boersma cancelled our outdoor event and turned it into an enjoyable indoor event at T-Bone Tom’s.  WYC’s adventure upstream Clear Creek will have to wait till another day.

On The Horizon

Chili Cookoff – Saturday November 8, 5:00-8:00pm – You’ll need an appetite to properly enjoy this delicious event as several members bring their favorite homemade chili, cornbread or other side dishes for members to sample.

Moody Gardens – Saturday & Sunday November 28 & 29 – The hotel is ready for the holidays and so is WYC.  Lets cruise by boat or land yacht to Offatts Bayou and spend at least one night.  Fleet Captain Elfie Boersma will work to reserve a block of slips so you can make individual slip arrangements by contacting marina reservations at 409 6831299.  Let’s plan on dining at the hotel buffet restaurant on Saturday night.  Members may also choose to anchor in the bayou but must provide their own dinghy transportation.  Poor weather conditions will require an event postponement.

Holiday Deserts – Saturday December 6, 5:00-8:00pm – Members shall gather at Pavilion B (or the Ice House) for some sweet treats and beverages.  Try to bring a homemade or store bought item to share.  The decorated boats in the marina make this a pretty evening.

Volunteers: There are always volunteer opportunities at WYC.  Either Social Director Amy Holdaway (amyjo67@sbcglobal.net) or Simone Gordon (spg33333@gmail.com) will gladly get you started.
