The Spanish Main Yacht Club is heating up with the return of its resients for season. First was the Chili and Soup Cook Off on Jan. 19, and up next was the 26th annual welcome back party on Jan. 28.
When Patty Buck sent out invitations for the welcome back party, she wrote, “This gathering reminds us of how fortunate we are to live in such a wonderful place as SMYC, full of fun, love, joy and caring.”
