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

Dear Fellow Members,

As the new season begins, we are thrilled to welcome you back to another exciting chapter at Coral Ridge Yacht Club. We hope your time away was both relaxing and refreshing.

This season promises to be filled with wonderful events, new opportunities, and the same warm camaraderie that makes our Club so special. Whether you’re a returning Member or joining us for the first time, we look forward to seeing you and sharing in the joys of the upcoming months together.

We are excited to announce that Jay Butler has joined us as the new General Manager of CRYC!  Jay comes to us with a wealth of experience from prestigious organizations including Augusta National, Tampa Yacht & Country Club, and the University Clubs of Orlando and Tampa.

Jay has shared with us that CRYC is truly his dream job, and we are thrilled to welcome someone with such a distinguished background and passion for this role. Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Jay and supporting him as he steps into this exciting new position. Here’s to a fantastic season ahead!

The final touches are being put on our new “Pointe” facility!  As we await the arrival of the furniture and the finalization of permits, our Food & Beverage team is eagerly preparing for a soft opening later this month. This will be a wonderful opportunity for everyone to experience the fabulous new facility.

Stay tuned for more details about the opening and get ready to enjoy all that the “Pointe” has to offer!

Best regards,

FOLLOW THE DRESS CODE

Please remember our dress code and hat policies as they pertain to the Clubhouse. Hats, caps, or visors are not allowed to be worn inside the Clubhouse (even if you are walking through to the patios or pool deck). However, you can wear hats on the Auxiliary and Burgee Patios. Appropriate bathing suits and cover-ups for ladies and similar for gentlemen and children are permitted on the Auxiliary Patio and, of course, the pool deck dining tables. (No cheeky bottoms or sheer/fishnet cover-ups are permitted.) Please make sure to share the dress code with your family and friends when bringing them to the Club to prevent any awkward situations.

CRYC Sailing & Water Sport s Foundation

By the time you read this article, most of us who have traveled north for the summer will be back to enjoy our beautiful Florida winter weather. Your Foundation is looking forward to another successful year not only for the kids but for the adults as well. Many of you are not aware that the Foundation provides Kayaks, Paddleboards, and Sailboats for the use of adults and children at no cost to you. We hope that you will use them often.

The Foundation will start making plans for another successful Summer Sailing Camp shortly with our partners, The City of Ft. Lauderdale and the LYC Foundation, but in the meantime, we are planning more activities for the winter season.

Membership has already received an email announcing the after-school sailing program that will be held at our Sailing Center in partnership with St. Marks School. If you would like to have your children included, please contact Donna, our Activities Director, for details.

I am also pleased to announce the SUNDAY FUNDAY SAILING CLUB. This program was put together by Meredith Campbell and will truly be a fun day for our experienced sailors to keep their sailing skills sharp and for new sailors as well. It will be an opportunity for our new sailors to learn the ropes. There will be safety checks in place including two safety boats operated by approved CRYC Members. Parent participation is encouraged. Sailing experience is not required. If you would like to participate, please contact Meredith Campbell at 401-440-6990.

We will also be hosting the Painted Sail Regatta as we did last year. We will announce the exact dates shortly.

Our Board has decided to reschedule Foundation Day until after the first of the year and will advise you when the new date is set. Our major fundraising event, THE PARTY WITH A PURPOSE, is set for March 24, 2025. Please save the date. If you would like to have your name included or upgraded on the TEAM FOUNDATION DONORS PLAQUE, please let me know. All donations including events count to the $1,000.00 level to be included and also apply to upgrades.

As always, we appreciate your continued support.

Sincerely yours,

Bob

Culinary Corner

As summer fades and autumn begins to creep in, the shift in seasons brings about an exciting time in both the culinary and cultural worlds. It’s time to bid farewell to summer staples like fava beans, juicy tomatoes, fiddlehead ferns, and sweet peas, and welcome in the flavors of fall—squash, braised meats, and hearty root vegetables.

Up north, the cool, brisk weather starts to dictate the type of food we crave. There’s something truly special about sitting down to a warm, comforting meal while wearing a flannel shirt on a windy day. In Florida, those brisk days may be short-lived, only arriving in the later months of winter. Yet, even without the dramatic seasonal shift, there’s still a collective readiness for change in the kitchen when autumn rolls around.

This time of year is all about comfort food. Warm, rich, and satisfying dishes take center stage, and for me, the ultimate autumn comfort food is butternut squash soup. There’s no better way to announce the arrival of fall than with a steaming bowl of this creamy, vibrant soup.

There are two main methods of making butternut squash soup: boiling or roasting. While both have their merits, I prefer the roasted version. Roasting the squash brings out a deeper, richer flavor, as the natural sugars caramelize and develop a lovely sweetness. To elevate my recipe further, I like to add a splash of Marsala wine. It adds a subtle twist, enhancing the complexity of the soup and giving it a delicious, slightly nutty undertone.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP RECIPE

Here’s how I prepare my version of butternut squash soup:

1. Roasting the Squash

After peeling and cutting the butternut squash into cubes, I toss them in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast them until tender and golden brown. Roasting gives the squash a beautifully caramelized exterior that adds depth to the soup’s flavor.

2. Sautéing Aromatics

While the squash roasts, I sauté onions, garlic, and a pinch of thyme until softened and fragrant. These aromatics build a solid flavor base for the soup.

3. Adding the Twist

Once the squash is done roasting, I blend it with the aromatics and vegetable stock, and here’s where the magic happens, I add a splash of marsala wine. It infuses the soup with a warm, slightly sweet complexity that pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of the squash.

4. Blending to Perfection

I blend everything together until smooth and creamy. Depending on your preference, you can add more stock for a thinner consistency or keep it thick and luscious.

5. Finishing Touches

Finally, a drizzle of cream or coconut milk swirled into the soup adds richness, while a sprinkle of fresh herbs, like sage or thyme, brings an extra touch of fall to the dish.

This roasted butternut squash soup, with its hint of marsala wine, is the perfect dish to welcome fall—whether you’re in the crisp north or the balmy south. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the change of seasons and embrace the cozy, comforting flavors that autumn has to offer.

Captains’ Club

Ahoy, Captains!

As the seasons change we are thrilled to have many of you back from your travels. We hope your adventures were filled with exploration, discovery, and plenty of stories to share. The Captains’ Club thrives on the richness of your experiences, and we can’t wait to learn from all that you’ve encountered.

This month, we’re excited to invite you to join us for our Weekly Wednesday Lunches, starting at noon. These lunches are the perfect opportunity to reconnect, share your tales from afar, and enjoy the camaraderie that is the heart of our Club.

One of the greatest benefits of the Captains’ Club is the friendships and community we build through these gatherings. In October, we’ll also have several special guests joining us, bringing fresh insights and sparking lively discussions. We’re confident you will be enlightened and inspired, making our lunches even more enriching.

So, mark your calendars, come hungry for good food and great conversation, and let’s make this October one to remember. We look forward to seeing you at the table!

Fair winds,

Chad Scalf

CRYC Cruisers

Dear Cruisers,

Letters from ecstatic Day Trippers were included in my Board of Governors package. Meredith Campbell received accolades for her hard work promoting and executing a spectacular outcome from the Whiskey Creek Raft Up Play Day then went back to the Club for the last day of summer party with a DJ to boot! There is more to come.

With Cruisers the likes of Ramonda Fowler, Judy Lincoln, Lynn Lepoutre and Maribel Bunin, the September trip from the 19-22 to the Town of West Palm was a non-stop cavalcade of fun!

From the Moulin Rouge themed Dock Tales to the Flagler Museum and dinner at Bice, these ladies remind us of just how much fun it is to be a Cruiser!

Someone considering joining Cruisers asked what we’ve done this year. My answer was:

“Next, we are going to Naples as always on the third Saturday weekend of October. On Friday, October 18th, Dock Tales will be at the Sailing and Yacht Club with dinner. On Saturday the 19th we will be at the Naples Yacht Club enjoying the surroundings of a second iconic Yacht Club. But so far this year we went to Cape Canaveral, Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, the extraordinary Fisher Island Vanderbilt Resort and, of course, the Bahamas!” I think that’s a great recap of a year in the life of a Cruiser.

The Cruiser/Day-Tripper dinghy rally on November 16th will include small boats as well as dinghies. Judy Lincoln has had such successful dinghy rallies, and we can’t wait for this one. Meredith and I are announcing the small boat Christmas Holiday Cruise Sunday, December 15th. With the Boat Parade behind us, the small boat Christmas Holiday Cruise will experience the wonder of Christmas along the intercoastal waterway.

CRYC CRUISERS CLUB

CLUBS WITHIN THE CLUB Book Club

If you enjoy psychological murder mystery thrillers with jaw dropping twists, you must read, The Housemaid by Freida Mc Fadden. Our facilitator, Courtney Groome, will discuss the book on Friday, October 11, 2024.

It is a story of two women. Nina Winchester is the elegant wife and mother and Millie Calloway is the mysterious maid. Every day, Millie cleans the house from top to bottom. She collects their daughter from school. And she cooks a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. Millie tries to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. Millie only tried on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out… and by the time she realizes her attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.

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.

Host an Event at CRYC

The holiday season is fast approaching, and our calendars are filling up quickly! Secure your spot now to host a memorable holiday party with us. Whether it’s a festive gathering with friends and family or a corporate event with colleagues, we have the perfect venue for you!

• 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.
