A Message from the Commodore

On behalf of the entire Committee, thank you for making the 2023 Oysters in the Dark kick-off event a complete success. While the “No-SeeUms” showed up in force, we had over 110 members and guests participate with an abundance of Lowcountry oysters, platters and plates of finger food and, best of all, the camaraderie shared by family, neighbors and friends.

We also kicked off the official “boating season” with the Blessing of the Fleet, a ceremony offering prayers for bountiful harvest and safe passage on the water. Did you know Wexford has been holding our version of The Blessing for the past 39 years? On the evening of March 5th, over 115 Wexford members and guests were blessed with wonderful weather, words of guidance and safety from Coast Guard Senior Chief Warren Wilson and a thoughtful blessing from Coast Guard Chaplain, Joe Seifert.

For the first time, past and current Commodores from Hilton Head Plantation Yacht Club (HHPYC) joined us with their wives and have reciprocated by extending an invitation to ALL Wexford members to attend their Blessing of the Fleet taking place in Skull Creek (north end of the island) on May 13th. It’s nice to see our community coming together sharing the celebration of boating activities.
