BOXING DAY ON THE BEACH!

For years, our friends at the VYC Outstation El Coral Restaurant at Las Animas Beach have hosted our members on Christmas Day. This year, they have decided that they will close Christmas Day so their staff can be with their families this Christmas, which we wholeheartedly support! So, our traditional "Navidad en la Playa" is now BOXING DAY ON THE BEACH. We'll still head over to Las Animas Beach for a great time among friends, enjoying the warm water, the great beach, and the great food at El Coral Restaurant.

There are always boats with extra space for more passengers. We'll try to get there around noon. If you have extra space onboard, let Rudy know at 322 297-2222, or Dave at onthewater@vallartayachtclub.org. Likewise if you need a ride, just ask!

SIgn up below, just so we know who's going.
