The Fourth of July at Whites is one of our favorite traditions, and we hope you'll be part of it!

Decorate your skiff, inflatable, or small craft in your best red, white, and blue, then join fellow BYC members for a festive parade around the cove and through the Moonstone moorings.

The parade begins at 10:30 AM on Saturday, July 4, staging from the stern of CommOcean. Let's fill the cove with patriotic spirit and make it a celebration to remember!

We can't wait to see everyone out on the water.

It's not too late to reserve your spot! Sign up through the QR code! Give back in a meaningful way by joining us for our upcoming Blood Drive with City of Hope.

A note from Nancy Davidson: "Please consider this as your invitation to come help me celebrate my 1st re-birthday! Last year, you may recall, I went through a life changing Stem Cell Transplant at City of Hope. It was truly an eye opening experience. As I was lying in my hospital bed, I was inspired by the amount of caring and love that literally poured out of not only my Balboa Yacht Club family, but the local sailing community as a whole during the blood drive held in my honor at BYC. Almost every transfusion I received came from the blood drive in our parking lot! Thank you! It is definitely a life saving necessity for anyone going through what I went through, or cancer in general. You all have inspired me to pay it forward for those who are and will be in need. Cancer doesn’t take a break. I hope you all will come down and help me celebrate my new life while at the same time helping others."
