After a very busy and difficult week due to tropical storm Irene, power outages, and complicated real estate transactions, it was time for relaxation with my friends. The Fayerweather Yacht Club did not suffer any damage during the storm and it was a beautiful day, so cocktails on the deck with shrimp cocktail and a lobster roll sounded idyllic and it was! We had so much fun that we moved indoors as the evening began to chill (where did autumn come from)?
The Black Rock Yacht Club is closed due to damage from the storm, but members have reciprocal privileges with Fayerweather Yacht Club, so we had a number of BRYC members at our club last evening. I think some of the BRYC members were surprised to see the improvements at the FYC. The BRYC is the tonier club with swimming pool and tennis courts and one of the finest French chefs in the area (JP, who is a friend of ours), but the FYC has improved over the years and although basic in amenities has a lot to offer. FYC is offering launch services for BRYC members since the BRYC dock was destroyed in the storm and the Milford Yacht Club has offered their dining services. All functions have been cancelled at the Black Rock Yacht Club for the rest of the year.
Both photos are of the Fayerweather Yacht Club taken last evening just before my friends arrived.
