I was not intimidated by the brand new, 15 million dollar Club House or the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of yachts docked along their waterfront, I had my LDYC Membership Card and stand off Sarasota Yacht Club, here I come. Actually, once they knew that Joan and I were comming for dinner, thanks to my college roommate and SYC member Elliot Rose, they bent over backwards to be the best reciprocal hosts anywhere. When we walked in, we were greated by the Commodore, the Vice Commodore, and the Past Commodore. At our table they created a replica of the LYDC
Burgee to fly next to a Past Commodore Flag. During dinner, the Membership Director and the Club Manager dropped by to say hello.
I have included some random pictures to give a feel for what this Club looks like, more information can be found in the public areas of their web site, sarasotayachtclub.org. Bill Schatz
