Bay Creek Yacht Club Fall Fun

Thirty-five stalwart members of the Back Creek YC (BCYC) persisted despite Hermine’s threat to roil the water of Chesapeake Bay over the weekend as they sailed to Oxford for a Labor Day Cruise starting September 2. At Oxford, the first night, BBQ burgers and dogs and Scottish Highland Creamery Ice Cream were provided at Brewers Marina. 

The next day there was a lunch at the marina, followed that night with a buffet dinner at the Tred Avon YC including hors d’oeuvres of crispy pork belly served with apple butter puree and crudités followed by dinner of braised boneless beef short ribs, grilled chicken, scalloped potatoes, summer squash, Caesar salad, fresh baked rolls and whipped butter, cookies, and coffee. 

On September 4, rather than fighting through the high winds, club members traveled by van to Cambridge for a feast at the Cannery with all you can eat crabs, five cheese or Jamaican burgers, along with fresh chilled watermelon. 
T

he Club’s Vagabond Cruise started September 5 at Zanhizers at Solomons (fortunately, the then tropical storm winds had abated). The cruise went to Sandy Point on the Great Wicomico, Urbanna Town Dock on the Rapahannock River, Reedville on Cockrell Creak, Olversons Marina on the Yeocomico River, Leonardtown on Breton Bay, St. Clements Island, St. Mary’s City, and back to Solomons Island on the 18th. BCYC’s Annual Membership Meeting will be in Annapolis, October 2.
