Club or just a marina?
Sometimes, it can be in how things sound.
"The question of your boat’s seasonal home is often more a question of
where you want to spend
time than anything else.
Sure, there are always the considerations of amenities, but the sense of
community is just as important.
When people accustomed to the marina scene visit our club – North
East River Yacht Club – they immediately notice some subtle yet profound
differences. Beyond the
pleasant blend of power boaters, sailors and social members, there are
organized activities for all groups, ages and interests.
By nature, this creates a very engaging environment and a social
fabric that makes it nearly impossible to be incognito or feel adrift.
It’s a kinetic energy that plays out repeatedly throughout the season,
and I’m sure it’s not much different at most clubs.
Our Thursday evenings are the perfect example of the experience.
It usually starts around five o’clock, as long-time friends begin
rolling into the parking lot one by one and make their way into the
clubhouse, greeting one another and catching up on what’s new. Within a
short time, the bar in the Burgee Lounge is crowded, the noise level is
elevated to a healthy roar, and continues to build with each new
arrival. The staff are dashing back and forth to keep up with the drink
orders, adding the sounds of glassware, fluidics and fizz to the mix.
Mike I
just love your write ups of Thursday nights. I look forward to
them every week, whether we have raced or not. They are always so
entertaining, but this week you outdid yourself!
You completely captured the spirit of NERYC and what Ron and I love
best about the place, the sounds and sights of many people of all ages
enjoying themselves. And you were right, there were folks outside,
inside, at the water front and on the picnic grounds. It was
marvelous and you painted the picture for us. Bravo!"
"I am a parent and a sailor. I love the venue and all the sailing and family activities at NERYC."
"I live in Southern Chester county and one of my best things about the club is its accessibility. It takes me 45 minutes door to door from home to the club. No traffic ever!"
