Ahoy Mates

I would like to welcome y'all to the Kwajalein Yacht Club for 2010. I will take this time to introduce myself to those that don't know me. I have been living on Kwaj for the past 10 years, I met my lovely wife here and we adopted two wonderful children. I served on the KYC Executive Board as vice-commodore for several years. This is my first year as commodore but I have a very good support group to tell me what to do.

I look forward to a fun-filled year at the club. I would like to encourage all members to come out and enjoy the facilities. We have taken our annual plan and added a few more activities. Besides the monthly meeting on the last Saturday of the month and the monthly race on the first Sunday, and our 2 island famous parties (Commodores Ball and Swashbucklers Ball), and our spring and fall sunfish regatta and the Christmas Parade of Lights, we will be adding a couple of Bocce Ball tournaments with a couple of extra beach parties. There is more so check out the calendar.

I would also encourage you to go to our web site, www.kwajyachtclub.com (which is where you found this page) for more information related to the club. This site is updated regularly and has lots of information about upcoming events and news. There is a calendar with dates and activities that will be updated on a regular basis to provide you with the most current information. I look forward to the upcoming year as your Commodore. If there is anything you would like to see at the club or activities planned, please feel free to contact me or drop me a line and I will see what I can do.

Fair winds & favorable seas
