Baby It’s Cold Outside—Unless You Are in Florida

In February, Back Creek YC (BCYC) members had a hyper-active social schedule in Florida and an active one in Annapolis with record snows and freezing temperatures. Focusing on wintering in Stuart, FL, the Southern contingent held happy hours on January 7 and 21, and a Southern Season Opener January 15.

Back Creek YC's Wally and Molly Stone hosted "Shrimp and Sausages" at the Tiki Hut at River Palm Cottages & Fish Camp on the Indian River Lagoon on February 16.

Then in February this lively boating group extended its enjoyable activities through the winter as well. For the snow bunnies, on February 4, to a happy hour party with Commodore Jamie Ritter at the Twisted Tuna in Stuart; on February 7 for a Superbowl Party hosted by the Yates at their house in Part Salerno, accessible by land and sea on the Manatee Pocket close to Stuart, and for some to root for Peyton’s success; February 13 for a Nautical Valentines Party hosted by John Oberright and Jo Rys at Sunset Bay Marina, also in Stuart, featuring pork tenderloin and sweet deserts; February 18 at River Palm Cottages and Fish Camp on the Indian River Lagoon for “Shrimp & Sausage” at Jensen Beach, hosted by Wally and Molly Stone, at the Tiki Hut at the Camp. On the 29th a Leap Year Dinner was held.

In Annapolis, members attended a performance of “Finian’s Rainbow” at the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts February 13, hosted by Cindy and Westbrook Murphy (Westbrook sings in the chorus of the Annapolis Chorale) which featured: “How are Things in Glocca Morra” and “That Old Devil Moon.” A pre-performance dinner was held at nearby Carpaccio Tuscan Kitchen.
