A great time in Garrison Bay on anchor with our cocktail hour and potluck on shore at English Camp. Thanks to Larry Grunden for hosting with unofficial help from Wade’s trolley and Janine and Nick’s dinghy. Fabulous cakes from Susan Dean and Larry made for a nice wrap up to dinner! If you look closely at the view of the boats at night you can see the Big Dipper in the beautiful night sky.

Today's goes back to December 14, 1949. Although SYC was founded in 1937, we didn't have our own clubhouse until 1949. The building was originally a barracks building during World War II at Bellingham Army Air Field. The club acquired the building after the base closed and moved it to it's present location at Squalicum Harbor. This photo is our first meeting in the "new" clubhouse. The second photo shows a similar view taken this year. As you can see from the photos, we've made many improvements to the club over the years!
