The 96th Bayview Mackinac Race began on Saturday without a hitch. Around 100 yachts are racing in the event this year. Winds appear to have been light overnight, but may be picking up again as off 6 AM on Sunday. Callisto, out of the Chicago Yacht Club, was furthest along at under 90 nautical miles to the finish line, but still only just past Saginaw Bay.
