DKCC---A Sample Summary of a Year's
Events
Names of the individual
members hosting the many events were deliberately omitted,
due to security reasons.
The year started with
the New Year’s Rendezvous at Sealine Marina in Miami complete
with food, dancing and fireworks, followed two weeks later, by
the combined Holiday Party and Installation of the Bridge and
Board of Directors at the Surf Club on Miami Beach.
It was an eventful
year. In January, the Super Bowl Party hosted by members was most
enjoyable. We watched the Super Bowl and enjoyed a barbeque dinner.
The Chili Cookout
at Boca Chita (Biscayne National Park) in February was a lot of
fun and the food was wonderful. Chili’s ranged from mild
to H-O-T. Boca Chita Rendezvous always have a large draw. The
Mardi Gras Night Shore Party at the Coral Ridge Yacht Club was
extra special. We really felt that we were at the Mardi Gras with
our ornate jewelry, masks, New Orleans Benets and a host of other
goodies. Of course our members always enjoy a good dinner and
this evening was no exception.
We had a great time
at the St. Patrick’s Day Rendezvous at the North Bay Landing
Marina in March. The home made corned beef and cabbage was plentiful
and most of us went back for seconds and thirds. The dinner including
dessert had us waddling back to our boats. The rest of the weekend
was relaxing. We swam, rested and enjoyed each other’s company.
April saw us back
again at Boca Chita for barbeque ribs, a kite flying contest and
a memorable weekend. Boca Chita is a wonderful destination.
The Anchorage Marina
in Key Largo was the destination of the Memorial Day Rendezvous.
Our members and guests enjoyed the fish fry, a waffle breakfast
and dinner at a local restaurant. Swimming, fishing, conversation
and relaxing made for a very nice time.
The Annual Cruise
in May lasted 10 days. It started at the Lighthouse Yacht and
Tennis Club in Lighthouse Point, went on to the Jib Marina in
Jupiter, the Pirate’s Cove in Manatee Pocket, the Northside
Marina in Stuart, the Outrigger Marina in Jensen Beach and on
the way back to the Palm Harbor Marina in West Palm Beach, The
Boca Raton Resort and then to our home port.
The 4th of July was
celebrated at the Sealine Marina in Miami. We had a private room
for our festivities, the use of the Marriott Hotel and of course
the fireworks. The fireworks were so spectacular that it was decided
to do the New Year’s Eve Party at this same location.
In September, we celebrated
another holiday, Labor Day, with a successful weekend at B’hia
Mar in Ft. Lauderdale. As usual, good food and comradeship were
enjoyed.
The weekend Rendezvous
in October at Sunset Harbor on Miami Beach was well attended.
The Luau was fun and the food, delicious. Every one commented
that we should do this again next year.
We love Boca Chita, so another rendezvous was held there in November,
complete with a full grilled steak dinner (members supplied the
side dishes). Our Cooks did an admirable job, the weather cooperated
and we had a really good time.
The Holiday party
in December was held at the home of our hosts. As usual, there
was plenty of food and fun. The gift exchange had a novel twist
to it and we all ached from laughing so much.
As you can see, DKCC
is an active boating club with many activities scheduled
each
year. Please check our Calendar of Events for 2007.
