Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Take the time to introduce yourselves everyone. REAR COMMODORE I want to give big thank you s to the club members who showed up ready to work on October 15th at 5pm to lend their efforts to the clubhouse clean up. Never has there been a finer or harder working bunch of yacht club swabbies assembled in one place and with such determination in their eyes!. Dust was dusted, shelves organized, floors swept, bathroom cleaned and polished, windows cleaned, furniture vacuumed off and wiped, and lots more too...not bad for a little over an hour spent working with fun, friendly, people. I proclaim massive kudo s to: Phil W, Sabrina S, Laurie I, Rich I, JT, Carolyn T, Loyal S, Nancy B, Tina L, and JR. Well done! If I missed someone, blame it on my poor memory ok! Looking at the official BVYC calendar I should point out that if you wish to reserve the clubhouse for your own use, the available dates are filling fast. It is only $50 for members to reserve the clubhouse for their own private use. You can check the available dates by going to our website at and then click on the calendar link on the left side of the page. While you are there, you can also take a look at all the stuff we have going on in November and December. A busy place we are! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

FLEET CAPTAIN Fall Greetings Brownsville Cruisers, Our first cruise of the 2015-2016 season has set the standard for the upcoming year.

Our Friday night cocktail mixer and a fabulously prepared array of appetizers brought by the members kicked off a lively, fun evening of merriment.

The best part of the evening was surely the great stories and club camaraderie. Saturday brew tasting and pub crawl, shopping and dining in the downtown Poulsbo core provided something for everyone.

What would a cruise be without the traditional over the top Sunday brunch before shoving off? We may never know. The potluck brunch was amazing and the perfect ending to a great cruise.

Chili, cornbread and salad for dinner, prepared by the host boat, followed by cream pie and liqueurs rounded out the night's meal. The best part of the evening was surely the great stories and club camaraderie. Saturday brew tasting and pub crawl, shopping and dining in the downtown Poulsbo core provided something for everyone.
