Due to the weather and lack of interest in having an event on land in lieu of the boating poker run, we are cancelling tomorrow's event.
Happy Sailing and Cruising!

Ahoy there everyone!
We are a few days away from the inaugural SYC Small Boat Poker Run! We still have four event slots open. I know there are more than 16 Club members with small boats! We'll also need a volunteer to for a harbor shuttle to transport the folks that are not able to tie up to the SYC docks due to limited space (don't forget your fenders!). (Click HERE to sign up to participate or to volunteer.)
As a reminder, all participating boats must be 26' or less. If you're launching at Back Creek or pulling out of your slip on the Chisman, that is where you will begin your poker voyage. There will be no required order in which you must go to each card station. Just make sure you hit 'em all! Legasea, Mills, Thomas, and Wormley Creek Marinas plus SYC. Be sure to thank them for hosting our dealers and allowing the use of their docks for our event!
The SBPR will begin at 10:00am and the card stations will be manned until 1400 (or 2:00pm for all you non-military scallywags).
One card will be drawn at each card stop (5 total) and the "dealers" will annotate who picked up their cards as they've come through.
Once you have your first four cards, cruise over to the SYC docks where you'll draw your fifth card. All remaining cards will be shuffled together, and each vessel will have the option to buy up one more card for $5.00 to better their chances of capturing the booty. The buy-up will occur after all boats/players are in.
All players must arrive at SYC by 1500 (aka 3 PM)!
As players begin arriving back at SYC, the picnic will begin out on the back deck (weather permitting) where the winners will be announced once all hands are in. That's right! I said winners, plural! There will be a prize for both best AND worst hand. This event will be a BYOB event so stock your beverage coffers to your belly's content and please bring a side dish to share!
Captains, bring registration fee ($25) when arriving. There will be a payee with cashbox to receive your payment + $5 if you wish to try and better your hand by buying up one card.
Someone will be seated next to them to receive your hand to be judged. Envelopes will be made available to put your hand into and mark to ensure your hand doesn't end up pirated.
Once everyone has arrived and all hands have been turned in, judging will begin.
Registration deadline is noon tomorrow, Friday, 13 Sept. Only SYC members are allowed to participate. Click HERE to register.
We will send a separate email out to the volunteers with card stop assignments as well as assignments for the club, dock and picnic volunteers.
Thank you everyone who's participating/volunteering! Let's make this a fun and memorable event!
