July 23 - Sausalito
Just a month ago, things were starting to look very dim for the
anchor-outs in Richardson Bay. Now, thanks to a short letter by
one of the most powerful legislators in California, their future
looks much brighter. In fact, one anchor-out told us he was so
happy that he was going to take his "first shower in weeks
so they [meaning the BCDC or Richardson Bay Regional Association
boards] can kiss my ass." Much more in the August issue of
Latitude 38.

Tropical Storms Off MexicoTwo Tropical Storms are currently blowing off the west coast of Mexico. Erick, with winds of only 35 knots, is well out into the Pacific and no threat. Dalila, with 55 knots of wind, is paralleling the coast of Mexico and hopefully will continue out into the Pacific. Man, the surf down in San Blas must be fantastic!
