“The ship is always off course. Anybody who sails knows that. Sailing is being off course and correcting. That gives a sense of what life is about,” Michael Meade.
The year 2020 has definitely seemed “off course” for the Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club, but there have been some amazing corrections. It all began with the cancellation of the monthly meeting in March followed by the cancellation of the much-anticipated Commodores’ Ball. Despite the pandemic, the Yacht Club has been active and continues to welcome new members.
Much of this can be credited to members stepping up and creating new and innovative ways to remain active as a club in spite of COVID restrictions. They came up with virtual meetings, quarintinis, kite flying, a MASKerade contest, and talent show, along with the usual cruises and races, charity drives, and lighted boat parade. It all served to keep our community strong and active.
