Seminar: How often have you thought someday….? Matt and Emmy Gallagher will take you through their plan of how they went from “Someday” to “Today” when they cast off their spring lines and headed North in the annual distance classic- The Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac. (OK. Perhaps there were a few more steps) Get a first-timers perspective on having done the 103rd. Isn’t it time you said: “I’m in!”.
