The Bay City Yacht Club invites you to attend a Great Lakes Weather Seminar
Saturday, March 3rd, BCYC will be hosting an all day Weather Seminar by Mark Thornton.

He will be providing you the tools necessary to interpret the weather combining online resources, data from your instruments, real time observations and much more! This seminar is not just geared for sailors! Anyone who enjoys activities on or near the water will benefit from this seminar. For those of you who frequent Sailing Anarchy, you may have read his comprehensive article on the tragic storm that hit the Chicago to Mac fleet this year. Here is the article link:
