Weather by Bruce on the (Boat) Show Stage

While it’s great to read Bruce Hedrick’s weather analyses here on Sailish, it’s even better to hear him in person. A last minute move has put Bruce on stage, literally, tomorrow and next Wednesday.

Here’s the spiel that wasn’t done until after the show programs are printed:

Marine Weather in the Pacific NW: Where to get it and how to interpret It once you get it. 

Bruce has been involved in boating in the Pacific Northwest for over five decades and has done just about every major sailboat race on West Coast. He was also the Managing Editor at Northwest Yachting Magazine for 18 years. Currently, he is the Chief Forecaster for Meadow Point Marine, providing event-specific weather forecasts and vessel routing services. He also writes Bruce’s Brief that comes out on most Fridays on sailish.com.

Bruce will be giving weather programs at the Seattle Boat Show tomorrow at 6 pm on Stage 6 and Wednesday, January 30 at 2:15 on Stage 3 in the North Hall. He’ll also be at the NMTA (Northwest Marine Trade Show) booth at various times during the show. Stop by and say hi!

That all seemed a little too reasonable and dry, so the the editors at sailish.com (me, Booboo the mutt and Bijou the Anatolian Shepherd) came up with the following:

Not only will Bruce be able to show you how to predict the weather with 99.2 percent accuracy, he’ll also teach you how to control the weather ahead of time, stop storms when they get too bad and, for you racers, engage a windshift at exactly the right moment. It’s a program not to be missed.
