Did you think we forgot about you Waquoit? Not on my watch. The “forgotten” village is the topic of today, and we have found a hidden gem that embodies all that makes the 02536 glorious.

The Waquoit Bay Yacht Club is a microcosm of the non-pretentious, fun loving nature of a zip code that will never be accused of taking itself too seriously. Let’s do a little comparison between the WBYC and say The Boston Yacht Club shall we.

Let’s start with a few pics of some renovations both clubs recently did:
First check out what is going on at the Boston Yacht Club…

…they’ve got their state of the art aluminum pump jack staging and a Lull forklift. A Lull forklift to put some siding on? Jeez might as well hire a helicopter to air lift each piece of clapboard (estimated weight .8 pounds). Nice caution tape too, wouldn’t want Councilman Cocktailington stumbling out hammered, thinking that machine is his yellow Hummer and then driving it home.

This must be a union job. I’d be willing to bet Thurston B. Snootus III is in there right now drinking 743 year old scotch and bitching about how hard it is to find a good contractor these days. (which inevitably segues into how his maid steals the change out of his pockets when she does his laundry… absolutely riveting)

Meanwhile over at the WBYC…

… it’s time for a new sign! Yeah baby no need to hire someone, Bill brought his ladder, Ralph and Joe will climb right up there and get that shit done in time to drink all the Bud Lights Pete brought before dark. No bitching about contractors, but I guarantee there were at least 28 jokes about how none of them had any idea what they were doing.

You know what though, they did it, did it right, had a blast and now have a plethora of stories to tell when they are drinking more of Pete’s Bud Lights at the next pot luck. Nice work men. (names changed to prot… nah names changed because we have no idea who these guys are)

Really now, would you rather hang out with these guys in this place…

…and talk about how maintaining exposure to a variety of areas from big and small companies, to growth and value stocks, to foreign as well as U.S. issues, and especially to bonds and cash, is the best way to survive a bear market. Or maybe a deep conversation on how those Docker’s stain proof pants commercials are false advertising because Davidson Doucheberg MCCXLVII’s (the 1,247th) butler Alfred, couldn’t even get a ‘76 Lafite stain out of his pair…

Or would you rather hang out with these guys, in this place, joking around about everything and nothing, making fun of each other and most likely having a sore throat the next day from laughing so hard?

       I think we’ve made our point, there is a reason why the 02536 is the center of the universe, we just know how to do it. To really seal the deal and drive the point home, here is a photo of the view the members of the Waquoit Bay Yacht Club get to enjoy…

Good luck looking for that in Boston without tripping over a dead guy, landing on a used syringe and getting mugged by Donnie Wahlberg before you find it.

go2536, go ahead, we dare you…
