The 2021 sailing is underway!! The annual boat blessing and membership drive was held on January 31st at Hickam Harbor. While several familiar faces returned to the water, it is always exciting to see so many new facing joining our Club as well. PYC Member, Chris Hoskins, provided a history of the boat blessing traditions and then joined the PYC family for the blessing of the fleet. Following our annual tradition, every boat in the fleet graced the waters of Hickam Harbor in a fun filled sailing afternoon. Cheers to a GREAT 2021 on the water!!
