The water level is 7.16″ below the low water datum. This means that the high spots in the channel are about 22″ deep. Wind is out the south at 33 knots. No boats should be in the club at this time of year but if there is a boat in the marina do not try to leave at this time. See picture below.
Club Closure Reminder – All boats must be out before November 1, 2024 –
As a reminder, all boats must be removed from SSYC by November 1st. All perimeter gates will be chained shut on November 1st and all the club locks will be changed. The main entry and exit gate will remain open for a very short period afterwards for a short period of time so that contractors can complete final winter closure activities.
Also, the club water is now off. Restrooms, pump outs, laundry and the fish cleaning stations are all closed and unavailable for use.
Winter Dock Height Set – It is the Owners Responsibility to Adjust Their Dock to the Proper Height – see post for further information – posted
Winter dock height has been determined. Please measure the distance of your dock height to the level of the water and compare to SSYC’s dock 180. (Your dock can be higher but not lower.) Please note that the water level fluctuates constantly so the measurement and adjustment must take place within a short period of time. It is the dock owners responsibility to adjust their slip or make arrangements to have the dock adjusted in preparation for winter. Please note that this needs to be done prior to the club closing the last weekend of October.

Boat Safety Inspections available at SSYC on Saturday, June 15, 2024 – posted
The 2024 America’s Boating Club of Saginaw Bay (formerly called Saginaw Bay Sail and Power Squadron) will be at SSYC for boat safety inspections Saturday, June 15, at 10 AM. Sign up sheets for a boat inspection will be posted at the bath houses. This is a good way to learn a little more about your boat and boating safely on the Saginaw Bay. It helps avoid (but not necessarily stops) those untimely inspections by the Coast Guard too. Hope you take advantage of this great opportunity.
Please do not park on the grass at SSYC
Please keep your vehicle tires on the pavement as the sprinkler heads are located just off the blacktop parking areas. Parking on the grass is damaging the sprinkler heads.
SSYC Fish Cleaning Stations are in jeopardy of being Eliminated – posted
The fish cleaning stations are in jeopardy of being removed as some individuals are not cleaning up after themselves and removing the remains out of the freezers when they leave. If you use the cleaning stations please clean up the station and remove the remains from the freezer and take them with you for disposal. Do not place the remains in the SSYC dumpsters. The freezers were installed as a convenience for those using the cleaning stations. The expectation is that your cleaning remains be removed from the freezer when you leave from your stay (day, weekend, or week.)
