Extended Cruise to Naples Sailing & Yacht Club: January 2022
Seas the day with the MIYC......Are you ready to cruise..eat...talk...laugh...smile....and have a good time? Cruises are always an adventure, but so worth it! We decided to add a day to our Staycation by departing on Monday to avoid the winds on Tuesday. It is, of course, pleasure boating! Setting sail were the Fraziers, (Pelican), the Wallens (Flamingo), Gakers (Doma's Hideaway), Don Harty (Belle- Rose), and Nelsons (Change Order). We departed from the marina with beautiful seas, missing several of our yachts due to owners or boats being out of commission. Upon arrival we had a lovely Potluck after Docktails at the NSYC. On Tuesday we did some serious shopping on 3rd & 5th with a stop at Kilwin's for Peggy's taste of Mackinac Island. Tom W. had arranged for us to have dinner at Albertos where we were joined by Metzlers. Gakers discovered friends from home at the restaurant which added to the fun. Wednesday was another beautiful day so we boarded Pelican for a tour of Port Royal to pick out our preferred house and also stopped by Hamilton Harbor to see what the new owners were up to. We even had a few dolphins escorting us! Next was the scrumptious Seafood Buffet at the NSYC with whole lobsters and an incredible enormous buffet from starters to desserts with hot and cold dishes of freshly prepared seafood. The Metzlers, Heckenlaibles, Gormans, and Krepelkas joined us for the feast, and those who had not attended previously were amazed at the gourmet selections. On Thursday 37 Day Cruisers joined us for a luncheon with Geoff Walker(Lily) and Tom Morison (Infinity) providing water transportation and some day-cruisers riding back on the extended cruise boats. Port Captain Melanie recruited Captain Clacton for the sunset cruise which was terrific. We always need and welcome participation in the day and sunset cruises. We can help you get a Vessel Safety Check and you will enjoy taking fellow members aboard. We are looking forward to having you join us next year at this wonderful nearby home staycation!
