Oh what a night! Family Fiesta on the Dock
The EYC dock was rocking last Thursday at the first EYC Family Fiesta. Sergio’s Taco Truck was a huge hit! As was the piñata! Young sailors raced Optis and RS Teras, kids swam, and all enjoyed the colors of the setting sun. Fun was had by the young and the young at heart. A BIG shout out to Susanna Mortarra (party planner extraordinaire)for transporting us to the Yucatan Peninsula and showcasing an idyllic EYC summer night on the dock. And thank you Susanna and Justin for generously donating the delicious ice cream sandwiches from Klaud’s Kitchen making the sweet event even sweeter.
