Our lunch trip to the Rod & Gun Club was finally blessed with great weather and water conditions and was very well attended with thirteen boats and sixty-three participants. It was a wonderful sight to see the MBYC burgee flying on a parade of 13 boats gliding through the gulf with a blue sky and fluffy white clouds.
However, it was not without unexpected events. The Caxambas group started the morning by polishing their props in the picket fence channel next to Horrs Island, and one of the larger boats ran into challenges in the Everglades channel.
At the Rod and Gun Club we had the whole outside veranda to ourselves with the pool on one side and the channel on the other side. Our servers did a great job of accommodating our large group and the food was delicious. There was lively conversation at every table and many people met each other in person for the first time.
An overall wonderful day with a smooth ride back to our home ports. Also, a big shout out to Jon Schroeder for all the heavy lifting with coordinating this event!
