DYC Social Activities

"...there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats....or with boats....In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much rather not."

- Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

Note: Due to MWR policies, we cannot receive or expend funds for alcoholic beverages. Therefore; all our functions, except for those where a cash bar is provided by a facility such as JD's or a restaurant, will be BYOB. Soft drinks will still be provided by the club.
