Following the historic rainfall that brought flooding and significant debris to the Capital Region, members of the Albany Yacht Club came together to help restore the marina.
Over the course of two days, volunteers worked to clear logs, branches, and other debris that had accumulated around the docks, allowing the marina to safely return to normal operations. The cleanup effort brought together a strong mix of longtime members and many of the club's newer members, reflecting the community spirit that has long been a hallmark of AYC.
A particularly notable contribution came from the "Sailboat Gang," a group made up primarily of newer members, who spent many hours clearing debris both immediately after the storm and again the following day. Their efforts, combined with those of many other volunteers throughout the marina, made a significant impact on the cleanup.
The response demonstrated the value of volunteer involvement at the Albany Yacht Club. By working together after one of the most significant weather events to affect the region in recent years, members helped restore the marina quickly and ensured it was ready for everyone to enjoy once again.
