At the recent Change of Command ceremony on the historic, waterfront grounds of Epping Forest Yacht and Country Club, the private club celebrated its legacy of retiring one flag and hoisting yet another to lead the Club. Nathan Adams was installed as Commodore, as Ryan Rafferty, Immediate Past-Commodore wished him luck, while sharing sentiments about his tenure and time at the helm. “My one takeaway from this year is this: I’ve learned that so many people love Epping, like truly love it, I always knew I did. But this year, I had so many opportunities and conversations that prove there are so many of you out there that care about this special place…and that’s why it’s special.”
Nathan Adams will now serve as the Club’s 29th Commodore, he took to the podium to thank his predecessor, the staff and his network of friendships. “This Club is more than a beautiful place, it’s a community built on friendship, tradition and experience both on and off the water,” Adams continued, “first and foremost, I want to extend my gratitude to you, Mr. Peyton, our Founder. Your dedication and passion for the Club over the years has transformed Epping into what we all treasure today.” The Change of Command was held, March 28, at the Club in the gardens overlooking the marina on the banks of the St. Johns River.
