Commodore’s Message

It is an honor to serve as Commodore of the Seafarers Yacht Club and to be the first woman to hold this position in our club's 66-year history. I am grateful for the trust and confidence of our members and look forward to building on the strong foundation established by the leaders who came before me.

My focus is on ensuring the club's long-term strength by maintaining our fiscal and organizational stability while preserving the rich history that defines us. With the publication of On the Chesapeake: The History of the Seafarers Yacht Club, Inc., we have taken an important step in honoring our legacy, and we will continue preserving our history for future generations.

I am also committed to strengthening our partnership with the Seafarers Foundation to expand our impact through education, community service, youth development, and the preservation of our maritime heritage. Together, we can continue making a meaningful difference both on and off the water.

 

Most importantly, I hope we continue to enjoy the spirit of seafaring, fellowship, and service that makes our club so special. I encourage every member to stay engaged, share your ideas, and join us as we work together to ensure a strong and vibrant future. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to serving alongside each of you. Fair Winds and Following Seas.
