I'm please to report, we've improved the Club - inside and out this Winter!.  We've also had to complete many tough repairs because it has taken quite a beating.  Here's a few of the maintenance broad strokes:

• The Fishing Bay Ramp had the grade improved and added a breakwater helping restore the beach.
• Fannie's House flooring was replaced throughout.
• The entance marquee on Fishing Bay Road has a new raised flowerbed.
• Jackson Creek Middle Dock fasteners were replaced in the lower end and finger piers.
• Many of the legacy trees were …

April 1, 2020  Dear Fishing Bay Yacht Club Members- The Club leadership continues to hope all of our members and their families are well and safe as we navigate the stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are updating our FBYC protocols and planning much sooner than we anticipated.  As many of you are aware, the Governor of Virginia updated his Executive Order (#55) on March 30, 2020 to extend the Stay at Home requirements until June 10, 2020.  The order has key elements specifically referencing what is and isn’t …

Come one, come all...This Wednesday at 6-7pm the YAMs are hosting our first ever virtual club happy hour!  Our theme will be a blend of nautical trivia and some other funny twists to engage everyone along the way. 

All you need to participate are the following:

1) Be sure to have your computer camera ready (we want to see each other!)

2) Sport your favorite and/or funniest sailing gear...think offshore sailing jacket, sunglasses, zinc on the nose, whatever you find fun to get into the sailing spirit …

Regretfully, Eric Perkins is no longer working for FBYC.  His helpfulness, talents, and can-do attitude will be missed at the Club.

We wish Eric well in his future.

Anxious about your boat in the water or on the hard? 

Rest assured that FBYC General Manager Brian Ankrom is on site most every day keeping an eye on "things."  Brian walks the docks each day, checking lines and boats.  So if you're tempted to go down to look things over...DON'T.

If your in-water-boat has a bilge alarm and notifies you remotely, Brian asks that you contact him first before rushing down to FBYC.  Middlesex county has asked all non-residents to limit their travels to the county due …

Dear Fishing Bay Yacht Club Members-

The Club leadership wants you to know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers as we all navigate the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Without exception we are all experiencing very turbulent times. Your safety and that of your family is of our utmost concern and we are making some changes in our planning for activities and use of the Club’s facilities.

1. Effective immediately, to ensure we promote social distancing and the safety of all of …

We're all on the hard and staying home to protect others; yet we do have to sometimes venture out for necessities.  Some suggestions for less-congested shopping include avoiding mornings so that the elderly can shop more safely and visiting smaller, local grocery stores with fewer folks.  You may not find toilet paper there but won't face huge lines.

We can also learn from our own Nica Waters whose "Fit2Sail" website has great ideas for provisioning on land as well as at sea.  Nica has made "Stocking up Sanely: preparing for …

In keeping with federal and state guidelines that are intended to "flatten the curve" of the Coronavirus spread, FBYC will postpone the Spring Clean Up originally scheduled for Saturday the 21st.  A new date will be selected when we are on the other side of this serious event.  For those willing and able, Grounds Chair Steve Montgomery will maintain a list of projects one or two people can tackle on their own time.  This will improve the Club's appearance and reduce the future workload. Please contact Steve at monty1221@icloud …

Greetings FBYC-

We wanted to inform you of the matters we addressed at last evening’s Board meeting regarding the impact of the COVID-19 healthcare issues.  Our continued goal is to promote the safety and well-being of our members, guests and the community in Deltaville and surrounding areas as best we can.

Based on actions recommended by the healthcare community as well as the announcement from the Virginia Governor declaring a state of emergency, we recommend that you limit your social interactions.  While you may not personally be in a …

Fishing Bay Yacht Club's Board of Directors has made the prudent decision to POSTPONE the Bermuda Hi Party, originally scheduled for this Saturday, March 14. Any future events, especially those held indoors, will be evaluated as we collectively manage the health crisis impacting our nation and the world. 

We ask those who have already paid the small charge for this party to allow the club to use those funds to cover costs already incurred.

We are continually reminded how fortunate we are to belong to FBYC.  Please take all necessary …
