A
FCYC
s many of you know, our Club is a member of the Florida Council of Yacht Clubs (FCYC). This means that
YOU AND EVERY REGULAR MEMBER ARE MEMBERS OF THE FCYC.... SO WHAT?? WELL, KEEP
READING.....This membership keeps us aware of happenings in other member clubs, gives us an ear, and a voice,
on what is taking place in the legislature that may impact our Club. In addition, our membership in FCYC affords
our regular members reciprocal privileges at other member clubs.... the ability to charge your food and drink to your
FWYC club number and one free night of dockage at the various clubs. Many members travel by boat to some or
all of the 36 Member Clubs … ask some our cruisers about that. But you can travel by car and stop in to any of these
clubs (http://www.floridacouncilofyachtclubs.com/member_clubs.htm) for dinner, a drink or just to see the sunset...
[it is always a good idea to have your FCYC club card and/or a letter of introduction... you can get one from the office
Best to call ahead and get an idea of circumstances at the club and dress for the day ]. The Office has FCYC Cruising
Guides which give you information and directions to the club(s) by land and sea...
The FCYC Meeting in Pensacola Yacht Club is on 20 May... Come on over and see what it is like, meet some great
people from other clubs in Florida and have a good time. The general schedule includes an informal dinner off the
menu on Friday night, business meeting starting at noon on Saturday and dinner and dancing on Saturday night.
Keep it in mind...you have to register so that the club knows how many people to plan for. Contact me or Eric Mattiza
if you want to go.
