OPCYC Commodore's Ball

Smiling faces mean good and happy times. On January 16, the Old Point Comfort Yacht Club (OPCYC) of Fort Monroe in Hampton, VA, held their annual Commodore’s Ball.  The Pointers, as members of the OPCYC are called, held a Change of Command ceremony, handed out numerous awards, enjoyed a great meal, libations, live entertainment, dancing, and overall had a wonderful evening of camaraderie and celebration.

Among the several awards handed out was the Commodore’s Award presented to Carol Morris for her exceptional leadership, help and participation during the past season; and the Ben and Meme Williamson Cruising Award given to Andrea Berndt for her actions in furthering the cruising program.

While harking back to all the wonderful events of the past year, OPCYC members are now looking forward to an active and exciting 2016 season, which will be our 58th year enjoying the Chesapeake Bay and beyond. Anyone interested in joining in the fun of cruising, racing and socializing can contact any OPCYC member or check us out on the web at opcyc.org.
