A Creative, Magical Summer at the Club

My Memories of the Yacht Club

WORDS: BRADY CHAI

The Yacht Club is one of my favorite places. My father has been bringing me to sail since I was young. We would usually head off into the middle of the harbour and coast in circles along with his friends. Sometimes, they let me use the rudder to steer the boat when it was safe. Once, I almost fell off thanks to a prank my dad played on us. He was being goofy and pretended to throw me overboard. We were with his friends and we were going along at around 10kts, the boat was leaning towards the port side and the lower half of my body was submerged in the water.

Besides sailing, usually during special occasions such as after swimming competitions or school assessments, my parents bring the entire family to the Bistro at Kellett Island to celebrate. The first thing we do when we arrive is to visit the sea turtles. My siblings and I have been visiting them since we were babies, and we have to make sure they are well every time we go to the Club.

The one item we enjoy the most at Bistro is their dessert. You can make your own cake at the Bistro if you want to. They would separate the cake and the toppings, and you can decorate it yourself. My sister once made a smiley face sponge cake for me. Everything tastes better with whipped cream and sprinkles!

I think the Yacht Club is a fantastic place for our family. Besides the food and sailing, we also enjoy activities hosted by the Club such as Beach Clean Up and decorating Gingerbread House during Christmas. All in all, I think that Yacht Club is a great place for both adults and kids, and I can’t wait to bring my friends there when I turn 12.
