A full schedule of events through April has finally led us out on the water in May. Back Creek Yacht Club’s (BYCY) 14th Annual Change of Watch Ball will take place May 7 at the Oyster Cove Clubhouse in Grasonville, MD, with the sounds of the Tiki Barbarians to brighten up the “Key West Nights” theme.
Members will welcome our new commodore and flag officers, share the memories of great events from the past year, and acknowledge the contributions of our hosts and volunteers who make this club so great. Following the Change of Watch ceremony, the repast will start with mescaline green salad, cheddar buttermilk biscuits, followed by herb roasted prime rib with creamy horseradish sauce, white wine and tarragon marinated salmon filet with roasted red potatoes with leeks, mushrooms and oregano, as well as blanched asparagus with rosemary butter, and of course key lime pie.
A silent auction with sailing objects and travel options will also be held. Mary Ross and Pamela Budesheim will host the event. BCYC’s annual Spring Cruise, “A Journey Across the USA,” starts May 28 and will travel to a different state each day, starting with Delaware. The fleet captain’s meeting for the cruise, led by Ben Wilson, will be held Saturday, May 14 at the Rams Head Shore House, 800 Main Street, Stevensville, MD.
If these events appeal to you, go to our website, backcreekyc.org, and make plans to join us.
