the yacht club and other times going to Spectre Island. The
kids spent the night hopping from boat to boat.
Shelby's birthday parties have almost always been held at
FWYC. They all involved some kind of water activity. One
year there were shark floats in the water as they watched Jaws
on a big screen on the point. It was scary, but fun! The whole
family has certainly enjoyed the great venue for gatherings and Shelby celebrating her 16th
birthday on the Point
parties as well as just floating around on Sunday afternoons
with friends.
Sailing and FWYC have certainly been a family affair in the
Jeff, Shelby, and Jeff’s Brown family and it continues to be, as they sail on Amigo in
brother, Russell, race on local regattas and represent FWYC in GYA regattas sailing
Amigo during a WNFR Flying Scots. One thing that they would like to see change,
would be to make it easier to launch the Flying Scots, so that
families could have easier access to the boats for day sailing and
picnics. They feel that family day sailing is an asset at FWYC
that should be broadened.
Jeff, Naomi and Shelby will be on the water and enjoying the
FUN at FWYC for many, many years to come.
