Gentle Members, Welcome back to MIYC for an action-packed season of fun on and off the water! The excitement begins with our Extended Cruise to Key West starting on November 1. Boaters and land cruisers will enjoy five fun-filled days and enchanting nights in the Conch Republic, where the pace is easy, and everyone is on Island Time. Cruise Captains Pete and Peggy Frazier have cooked up an enticing schedule of activities, and Resident Foodie Jim Rich has booked mouth-watering dinners for all, but it’s OK to just lounge by the pool if you want.

Back at the Club, Boaters’ Night on Wednesday, November 9 features Collier County Commissioner Rick LoCastro who will speak and take your questions on all kinds of topics, from the impact of Hurricane Ian and efforts to rebuild, to channel markings, to boating issues, to his assessment of the direction of our community and county going into the next several years. You won’t want to miss this chance to see firsthand what’s going on in local government, and Chef Brad will be serving a great choice of food as well. On Friday, November 11, we honor and celebrate America’s Veterans, and Members who are Veterans in a very special Evening Colors Ceremony dedicated to Veterans. Please join us for this important event, our chance to say “thank you” for the service, dedication and inspiration we draw from our Veterans every day. Please join us in our salute beginning at 5:45pm. You can also stay for dinner afterword if you get your reservations in soon. Monday, November 14 brings us a very special Day Cruise: A Beachcomber Party on Keewaydin Island, complete with Lobster Rolls and other goodies provided by our very own Chef Brad and his team. Bring your own bottle, lawn chair or picnic blanket, hop in a boat and spend a lovely afternoon with all your friends on an idyllic tropic isle just minutes away from home but a world away in spirit… We wind up November with a Sunset Cruise on Wednesday, November 30. Members with boats invite other Members, boaters or non, aboard for a cruise out to the Gulf and back with the golden setting sun as a magical backdrop. Sunset Cruises are some of Members’ favorite events, and many a great friendship has begun over a shared glass of wine aboard a Sunset Cruise boat. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy these great times with fellow Members! So many great events, so many opportunities for fun…and that’s just November! What will December bring? Stay tuned, and join your friends for these events. It’s time to get the most out of your Club. As the old song says, “Come aboard, we’re expecting you!” Cheers, Tom Wentworth, Commodore
