A few hardy boaters braved the Chill and warmed up at the February Monday Madness indoor event. In all there were 15 brave souls who enjoyed a beverage or two, all in the effort to keep warm. Nevertheless, the group was cohesive and smiling throughout.
Our last 2025 MBYC event was held on December 29 th for our Monday Madness at CJs. The weather was very pleasant and discussions were held while most of the country is dealing with snow and freezing cold, we are very fortunate to live in Marco Island. Everyone enjoyed the holiday season and are looking forward to the New Year.
Monday Madness at CJ’s By The Bay turned into exactly the kind of lively, close‑knit gathering that makes the club feel like family. With the wind kicking up and the temperatures dipping, everyone shifted inside—yet the energy didn’t miss a beat. One member even brought prospective new members to introduce them around, and they were immediately swept into the warm, easy conversation that filled the room. It became quite the mixer, with people bouncing between tables, reconnecting after the weekend, and welcoming fresh faces into the fold. A cozy night, a spirited crowd, and a perfect reminder of why these Monday meetups matter.
Looking forward to seeing you on Monday, February 23, same time and station.
