RECENT EVENTS
|
|
A jolly evening was held in the Crow's Nest on Friday 17 March to celebrate St Patrick's Day. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and, by extension, celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. The Claddagh Irish Dancers gave us insight into traditional Irish dances, which were spectacular. Thank you to all members who supported the evening.

Gordon’s Bay Raid
|
|
Eighteen boats sailed over to Gordon’s Bay this past weekend. We were welcomed by GBYC members, directing our fleet to their respective moorings, and catching our lines. The Mexican Party that followed was awesome. There’s a saying “what happens in Gordon’s Bay, stays in Gordon’s Bay”, well that’s all I have to say.
