Join us for one of our (in) famous free SemiGnar’s. And yes the G is intentional as it sets the tone for these fun informative sessions. Our SemiGnars are all about education ensconced in entertainment. You are certain to learn lots but are also encouraged to contribute. Our SemiGnar series is all about community getting together and learning from one another. So bring your local knowledge and share it with our tribe. Our expertise is on the bay and ocean and we are pretty weak on our knowledge of rivers.
This particular talk is focused on learning how to read water. That means first starting with the data profile and then assessing what is actually happening on the water. We’ll cover various types of water from lakes to rivers with a special emphasis on the topology of San Francisco Bay. We’ll cover various topics including.
Tide & Current Basics
Tide & Current Taxonomy
Tide & Current Heuristics
Wind and Water
How to observe and learn
An overview of our local environment
An overview of the coastal environment
An overview of the calendar cycles
Our favorite tools
A touch on Navigation implications
Doors open at 3pm . We’ll start promptly at 4pm but you can show up anytime.
No Zoom this time. It just kills the in person experience.
Why the G in SemiGnar. We celebrate this guys spirit and try hard not to take ourselves to seriously.
