Unfortunately, the pump out on Jackson Creek is closed for repairs.  Blocked or crushed plumbing is preventing pumped material from making it into the tank.  Repairs by a contractor are scheduled for next week.

Apologies for the inconvenience (again).

THANK YOU FISHING BAY!!

What a challenging sailing season we've all had.

But FBYC members responded by working hard to keep our community safe, our members sailing responsibly and our club working smoothly.  To say "Thank You" we're having our annual oyster roast in a different format--a Year End Tailgate Oyster Roast on Sunday, October 25 from 12 noon to 4 PM.  

We'll be serving pulled pork BBQ, sides and either steamed or raw oysters during the afternoon in a BYOB tailgate event.

To support social distancing, we will have …

David and Jacki Meiser and crew aboard One Trick Pony won the 2020 Brent Halsey Jr Memorial Trophy awarded at this year's Stingray Point Regatta--Covid-19 Edition.  They had two bullets, a second and third place in their PHRF-A division sailed in 20-25 knots on Saturday...and much lighter winds on Sunday.  They sail out of Solomons, MD.

In the other fleets, FBYC sailors took top honors:

One-Design:  Clark Dennison on Bad Decisions.

PHRF-B:  Bob fleck on Mad Hatter

PHRF-C:  Paul and Julie Ann Wash on Cheeky Monkey

Dave and Veronica …

This coming weekend we have a popular Captain’s Choice led by Doug and Alison Selden. Doug has been thinking of destinations where we will also be able to distantly socialize. We’ll meet at 5:30 at the picnic area near the East Dock, Friday, September 11 to discuss possibilities, taking into consideration the wind, weather, etc. Please sign up and join us on our last Captain’s Choice of the season.

The Around the Bay Cruise led by George and Lyons Burke is scheduled to start 9/18 …

Over the last several years, we have had an informal membership meeting over the Labor Day weekend to give members an update on goings on around the Club and upcoming plans.  You may recall that we held a virtual membership meeting earlier in the season and we have decided that under current conditions, it would be prudent to avoid an indoor gathering.  We have been communicating plans and events through various formats, The Log, Wednesday “blasts” and separate communications.  In general terms, the state of the Club is excellent.  We …

In the books. 

Never can it be written that Fishing Bay Yacht Club is without members who would willingly allow a pandemic and/or hurricane to come between them and loosely organized rallye followed by a socially responsible social.  This past weekend proved that that just ain’t so.

This year’s organizing committee had to adjust some of the founders’ rules that in the end, allowed a founder to claim first prize.  In the Wee Dram Deed of Gift [the non-existent document that governs this annual event], the rules …

OK. 

This year's 26th Annual Stingray Point Regatta may not look just like the others.  BUT...

The racing will still be exciting.  The fun quotient will still be high.  And everyone can still blow off some steam, perfect those spinnaker sets and share some awesome company while on the water.  We've got almost 30 competitors already signed up and we're already planning for good wind (fingers crossed!) and excellent socially-distant social activities.

This year's Labor Day weekend begins with Stingray.  Register at: https://www.fbyc.net/events/2020/200904-offshore-stingray-point-regatta/
