Summer 2012 - already time to think about boating

VALOIS, Hector township, New York - With a winter that has been almost devoid of snow, already thoughts are turning to boats and reopening the Valois Point Yacht Club.

Last summer the club added a buoy for larger boats to tie up to the south of the VPYC dock and this summer will add another buoy, but to the north.

Some advances in solar technology also are pointing to a lighted pathway from the dock up the cottage.

That remains under study.

In the meantime, provided we don't get hit with a blizzards, the VPYC will be ready to rock sometime in May. Sometime depending on how cold it is, of course.

Here's a few photos from last season:

  1. If the boat was in the water, I'd think about going for a sail today. 70's and sunny on St Patrick's day!!!

  2. You didn't mention the dues. Will the longer season and improved amenities result in an increase in fees? And will there be a slip available for my inflatable giraffe watercraft (floatie)? Last year I had to carry it to the water.

    1. Plenty of room for the giraffe and the dues will remain the same - show up with wine or beer or a snack... Now, when we start building the clubhouse...
