Connecticut's Hidden Gem: Sprite Island Yacht Club's Enduring Legacy

Nestled off the coast of Norwalk, Connecticut, lies Sprite Island Yacht Club, a hidden gem with a rich history. Once the private estate of New York attorney Sidney Decay, the island transformed in the 1950s when a group of Norwalk residents, seeking an escape from the politics of their old club, purchased it and established a member-owned community. "They weren't after status or ceremony," explains the video narrator, "just a laid-back spot to spend their summers and share good times." Today, the club thrives, with 150 families carrying on traditions of sailing, kayaking, potlucks, and lively lobster boils. The club's enduring spirit exemplifies the power of community and shared experiences, making it a captivating story of resilience and connection.
