FOOD & BEVERAGE
One of the Food & Beverage Team’s ongoing goals is to deliver outstanding service.
We would ask if you wish to have cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before dinner, please plan to arrive 30 - 40 minutes earlier than your requested reservation time. This allows the team to offer a smooth evening to all Members and guests and lets the staff in both the front and back of the house properly prepare.
We appreciate and will always try to accommodate our walk-in guests as best we can in a timely manner; however, priority will always be given to those who make reservations and those who call ahead to ask about seating availability. Just as great restaurants do, we strive to pace our Members and guests for a better flow of service. This improves the timing in the kitchen and minimizes delays. We strive to exceed your expectations and appreciate your support.
SERVICE CHARGE REMINDER
The Club’s service charge is 20%; however, for extraordinary service, you may add an additional tip under the “Extra Tip” category. Bon Appétit!
Commodore’s Corner
I am especially happy this month that our new General Manager, Jay Butler, has joined CRYC. From his first day Jay was a great fit with members, staff and the board. His experience in the club world is already helping us to rise to the next level. Jay has a big job ahead to launch the new “Pointe” as the season taking off strongly. The interest from people wanting to join CRYC is growing. Our membership director is racing to get people in before the joining fees rise, or a waiting list is instituted. If you have any friends who want to join, this year will be their best offer!
CRYC’s controller, Kim Lodovico, has been working hard with treasurer, Barbara Gehrig and the Finance committee on finalizing the 2025 Operating / capital budgets. This year has been managed very well by Kim and the management team. The club is expecting not to have any assessments for 2024. The budgets will be presented to the Board at this month’s meeting. The capital budget requires a membership vote and will be sent out before the annual meeting for your review. The election of new board members for 2025 will be sent out to members for their vote and calculated following the 2025 annual meeting on January 13th. The Nominating Committee, elected by you, are interviewing candidates early this month and preparing a ballot to be presented to the membership. The candidates are the future leaders of our club, so your input is very important!
CRYC will have a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner for all of us. Come celebrate with your friends and family and leave the work to us! Have a healthy and happy Thanksgiving!
Best regards,
T. Fred Roche

CRYC Sailing & Water Sport s Foundation
I have had a lot of inquiries lately for more information about the Foundation’s history, goals, mission statement and Board so I will dedicate this article to that subject but am always willing to discuss it in person at any time. A great resource for information including our mission statement and events is our website which is crycfoundation.org.
The Foundation was formed when I was Commodore in 2014 by eight Founders including myself, who provided the initial funding. Two of the original Founders still serve on the Board of Directors, Larry Bohannon and me. We became a 501 C3 Charitable Foundation and all donations to the Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. Our original goal was to purchase the Sunrise Bay bottom or a part of it that was owned by five entities to preserve the Bay for our future sailing and water sports activities. We were unable to do that, and the Bay bottom was subsequently purchased by another nonprofit. Currently there is no indication that there is any effort to develop the Bay.
Our efforts then turned to how we could best serve the community and Members of our Club as well. We were successful in establishing a Summer Sailing Program in concert with Life Sports Fitness, who was also a 501 C3 and we provided scholarships to many of the kids who participated. When Life Sports Fitness ceased operations, we decided to establish a program on our own and were fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with the City of Ft. Lauderdale and the LYC Sailing Foundation. That program has been very successful for both the Community and CRYC as well. We also provide funding for other 501 C3 who have similar mission statements as well as many other programs at the club. Another one of our goals was to establish a Sailing Center and together with the Clubs dock improvement program on the North Dock we provided funding for the building of the Sailing Center which is located at the Northwest part of our property on Sunrise Bay.
Our Board Members are all volunteers and receive no remuneration and support the Foundation not only with their time but financially as well. The current Board consists of the following Members:
P/C Bob Epstein, President & Co-Founder
IPC Maynard Hellman, Vice President
Roz Alford, Secretary – Treasurer
Larry Bohannon – Co-Founder & Parliamentarian
P/C Chip Starkey
Commodore Fred Roche
V/C Kevin Cassell
Fleet Surgeon, John Berne
I am also pleased to announce the addition of two new Board Members
Meredith Campbell
Starr Fisher
Rich Barnhart
Paul Erickson
Gil Bieger
Although the Foundation is a separate corporation than the Club, the Club is the only Member and any changes in the By-Laws require approval of the Board of Directors of CRYC. The Foundation By-Laws are available for anyone interested. If you would like a copy just let me know and I will be glad to email you a copy. If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them at any time.
Please save the date for our major fund-raising event, THE PARTY WITH A PURPOSE, which will be on March 22, 2025
As always, Thank you for your support.
Sincerely yours,
Bob Epstein

Anna Marie Torres President
Nobody can deny the excitement generated, as usual, by Auxiliary’s programming. Just consider the extraordinary events they’ve brought us in the few short weeks since our Club reopened!
In September, we featured Michael Cavo, Manager of Beauty at Dillard’s, sharing important tips on how to look beautiful. We all left feeling better and more confident!
Last month, we were treated to a wonderful presentation on Self-Defense Awareness. After Hurricane Milton derailed our plans, we rescheduled this program for October 16th. Thank you, Christine Fingado, for your amazing presentation and workshop. We all feel a lot more aware and a lot safer!
The main event you’ve all been waiting for is upon us. Our annual Fashion Show is coming up November 13th! The theme this year is New York, NY and you can expect it to be as exciting as ever! As I pointed out last month, be prepared for great food, great fashion, great prizes, and great fun! This is an event you truly don’t want to miss. If you haven’t yet made your reservation, please do so ASAP. Seats are filling up fast.
Please join me in extending a very warm welcome to our newest Members, Vicki Beebe, and Dr. Keryn Hughes. If you have still not joined Auxiliary, please contact Jodi Dumas at jodidumas@outlook.com or (610) 417- 3855.

Mastering the Art of Cooking a Moist, Flavorful Turkey
One of the biggest challenges when cooking turkey, especially for Thanksgiving or large gatherings, is ensuring that it stays moist and flavorful throughout the process. For those of us cooking bigger birds, brining is a tried-and-true technique to keep the turkey juicy, even when it’s in the oven for hours. Here’s a simple yet effective approach to achieving turkey perfection.
The Brine:
A good brine locks in moisture and adds subtle flavor to the meat. For a straightforward brine, follow this recipe:
• 1 Gallon of Water
• 2 Cups Kosher Salt
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 2 Bay Leaves
• 1 Tablespoon Peppercorns
Bring these ingredients to a boil, then allow the mixture to cool completely before marinating your turkey for at least 12 hours. The salt penetrates the meat, helping it retain moisture during the long cooking process.
Cooking Temperature & Timing:
We recommend cooking turkey low and slow at 325°F, which provides an even, gentle heat that allows the bird to cook thoroughly without drying out. A good rule of thumb is to cook the turkey for about 15 minutes per pound.
While many recipes suggest removing the turkey from the oven once it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, I find a better result by pulling it out at 155°F. Once the turkey reaches this temperature, turn off the oven and let the turkey sit inside. The residual heat will finish cooking the turkey, producing a moister bird.
Covering & Basting:
During the first two-thirds of the cooking time, cover the turkey with foil to prevent excessive browning and moisture loss. For the final third, remove the foil and baste regularly. This method creates beautiful, golden skin while maintaining moisture inside.
To Stuff or Not to Stuff:
Though it’s tempting to stuff the turkey with your favorite stuffing, it’s better to cook the stuffing separately. When stuffed, the turkey needs to cook longer to reach safe internal temperatures, which risks drying out the meat. Instead, I recommend filling the turkey cavity with fruits and vegetables- apples are my personal favorite. These will add a subtle flavor to the bird while helping to keep it moist.
The Final Step - Resting:
It’s critical to allow the turkey to rest for at least 30 minutes after cooking. This resting period gives the juices time to settle, ensuring that every slice is moist and tender.
By following these simple steps- brining, cooking low and slow, stuffing with flavorful fruits and vegetables, and allowing the turkey to rest- you’ll achieve a perfectly moist and delicious turkey every time. Happy cooking! But then again, why cook when you can make reservations at the Club?

Captain’s Club Invites You to Join Us for a Special Luncheon!
At Coral Ridge Yacht Club, we are a community of generous individuals who are dedicated to supporting the causes that inspire us. This month, we are excited to highlight the work of one of our very own members, Jim DeFrancesco, who will be sharing his journey in founding and running a successful 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
We warmly invite all of you to join us for a luncheon on November 6th, where Jim will present the incredible work of Race for Life Rescue. In just a few short years, this organization has saved over 5,422 animals across 27 states and beyond, including relocating Potcakes from the Bahamas and most recently rescuing animals affected by Hurricane Helene in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
“At Race for Life Rescue, we believe every animal deserves a safe, healthy environment where they can flourish. Our goals are to reduce euthanasia by relocating animals to adoption centers with higher capacities and adoption rates, provide lifesaving supplies and emergency evacuations during natural disasters, and support underserved communities with the resources they need to succeed,” --Jim DeFrancesco.
Don’t miss this inspiring event! RSVP Now for the luncheon on November 6th
Open to ALL members of Coral Ridge Yacht Club. We look forward to seeing you there!

CRYC Cruisers
Dear Cruisers,
“Worst hurricane to hit Florida in 100 years.” With two of them within three weeks the possibility of our Naples trip looked like it would be a weather related cancellation. My hotel for instance messaged me they would not be open on Friday. The concerns were well found. But, alas, the sky cleared up as did the city clean up and the quaint town of Naples welcomed us with a little more wind and rain. We are a hearty group, so we ushered forth to enjoy a Margaritaville style of food and libation at the Sailing and Yachting Club Friday night. Saturday night was as promised a more formal night at the recently renovated spectacular Naples Yacht Club. It was great to know that we came and contributed to the economy in our own special way.
Now onto the next event for the Cruisers on the third Saturday weekend of November 16th. CRYC’s dinghy rally. This is a Club wide event and hopefully this year we will see more of our young families showing up to join the fun. This is a small bat event that is a barrel of fun. Bring your family and friends along to decipher clues and anagrams and unrelated other questions all steeped in the history of Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal Highway. To sign up, please email CRYCCruisers@gmail.com and in the Subject line write “Dinghy Rally.” Be there or be square!
Last but not least, our Cruisers Holiday Party is set for December 12th at 6:30! We will have a guest artist come to serenade us throughout the night. What better way to see your fellow cruisers and reminisce about the past year’s fun and foibles. I would also like to start a tradition of asking the Cruisers to consider donating $5 per person in cash to go to the Employee Holiday Fund from us specifically. They have taken such good care during a tumultuous year with all kinds of challenges. We cannot be more grateful and want all of them to share in our spirit of goodwill in real time.
See you at the Club!

CLUBS WITHIN THE CLUB Book Club
On next book, The Vanderbilts - The Rise and Fall of an American Dynesty, by CNN Commentator Anderson Cooper, is a pointed lesson in how to lose a fortune. Please join our facilitator, Angela Kruger, on November 8th for a lively discussion of the book.
The Vanderbilts, once synonymous with wealth and grandeur, saw their empire crumble under its own weight. Overspending, bad investments, and monumental self-indulgence all played a part in their downfall. Cooper uncovers family secrets, including their connections to the Confederacy, and dispels the myth of Cornelius Vanderbilt as a wholly self-made man.
Please make reservations at the front desk and, at that time, make your lunch selection from the variety of sandwiches (egg salad, tuna salad, or chicken salad) on white, wheat or rye bread. A Cobb salad or other menu choices are also available. Lunch is promptly at 12 noon when the book discussion begins.

Friday Colors at CRYC
Observing Colors is a time-honored ceremony adopted by the US Navy in 1843. Service members and civilians take part in this long - standing tradition to reflect on the sacrifices of the women and men who devoted their lives to protect our nation’s shores from foes. To many, this custom is rooted in a sense of deep pride and is a symbol of admiration.
1. Approximately ten minutes before sunset, as calculated by the Fleet Captain, the word is passed “First call, first call to color.” The honor guard of the day will form near the point of hoist of the ensign. At that time, there will be no services provided by the CRYC and its staff, including the bars, until after the conclusion of Colors and the ensign has been presented to the proper authority.
2. Immediately before sunset, “Attention” is sounded by one horn blast, blown on a whistle, or eight bells is sounded. ALL PERSONS, INCLUDING CHILDREN, within sight or hearing, face the ensign, remove their head gear, place their right hand over their heart and STAND AT ATTENTION and REMAIN SILENT unless singing the National Anthem. Boats in the vicinity lie to, or proceed at the slowest possible speed, and the boat officer or coxswain stands and salutes.
3. The order “Execute” is then given: the cannon will be fired, and the ensign is lowered slowly. The National Anthem or “To the Colors” (Retreat) will be played with the ensign starting down the staff.
4. When the ensign is completely lowered, folded, and presented to the proper authority, the word is passed “Carry on,” at which time, salutes are terminated, and the ceremony is over.
Congressional Defense Authorization Act of 2009, which President Bush signed on October 14, 2009, entitles retired or former military members in civilian to render the hand salute.
Let’s show our pride and respect at CRYC and abide by proper flag etiquette. Flag etiquette reminded: All yacht ensigns should also be struck (taken down and removed) at sunset until the following day.

RECIPROCITY RESPONSIBILITIES & PRIVILEGES OF FCYC CLUB MEMBERS
Your Responsibilities When Visiting Another FCYC Club:
• Reservations should be made with the hosting club. Even if the decision to visit another FCYC club is spur-ofthe-moment, a call to the hosting club is appropriate.
• Be prepared to show evidence of your membership in another Council member club. Carry your membership card; or, be prepared to show it on your mobile phone; or, have a letter of introduction from your club.
• Inquire about dress code when making a reservation.
• Inquire about any club events that may be going on at the time you want to visit.
• Clubs in close geographic proximity to other FCYC member clubs may impose special reciprocity restrictions on the members of those clubs within close proximity. Inquire of your club about any special reciprocity restrictions that may be in place by clubs in close proximity.
• Reciprocity privileges should not be abused, including the frequency with which any one host club is visited.
• A visiting member of another FCYC club is expected to comply with the host club’s governing documents, including house and marina rules.
• Some clubs require visiting boaters to provide proof of insurance and require minimum levels of coverage. Visiting boaters should inquire of such requirements when reserving a slip.
Your Expectations of Privileges When Visiting a Host Club:
• With a few exceptions, a visiting member of another Council club should be treated no differently than a member of the visited (host) club. Two acknowledged exceptions include:
• FCYC member clubs with golf courses are not required to offer golf as a reciprocity benefit.
• Clubs may, in some cases, have a charge for visitor parking.
• Charges of a visiting FCYC member are to be billed back to the visitor’s club. While a host club may offer to settle the charges via credit card, it is the choice of the visiting member whether to settle the charges via credit card or billing to his/her home club.
• With few exceptions, the prices paid for goods and services by a visiting member of another Council for the sale of fuel and for private events hosted for a visiting member.
• Reasonable effort should be made on the part of a host club to honor the reciprocity visit request of a member of another Council club. Seasonal restrictions on reciprocity are not appropriate.
• It is understood that certain special events held at a club may result in the club being unable to extend reciprocity for very short periods of time.
• Any Council member club may decline to extend reciprocity privileges or limit the extent of reciprocal privileges to any individual member of another Council member club.
A comprehensive guide on reciprocity entitled “Reciprocity Standards - Q&A” may be found in Section J of the Council’s Information Binder, copies of which are maintained by your club’s office and FCYC Director.
