500th Issue of Latitude Out Now

Where will you pick up your copy of the 500th issue of Latitude 38? The weekend weather looks pretty awful for sailing, but just about perfect for reading about sailing in the new issue of Latitude. Yes, you can read the entire issue online but, as they say, “Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby…” Our Bay Area drivers are out there right now hoping to complete their delivery routes before the rain starts falling, making sure you have time to pick one up at your favorite Bay Area marine store before or on the weekend. Our drivers took a few minutes to send in some pics of their first deliveries from today.

Inside the new issue we have stories about Hobie Alter and the new, very cool, bronze memorial unveiled last fall in Dana Point; a profile of Taylor Canfield and the Long Beach Yacht Club America’s Cup challenge; insights from successful cruising couples; more 2018 season winners; and a look at how the Bay Area waterfront has changed over 500 issues of Latitude 38. And that’s just the beginning. There’s a challenge from Nathalie Criou’s team, Shut Up and Drive, for this year’s Race to Alaska, the Coast Guard shutdown, and most of your Letters (thank you very much to everyone who wrote in).

A good number of races are scheduled for the next couple of days, though the weather doesn’t look too cooperative. It might be a better weekend to chill out with the 500th issue of the magazine. If you do go sailing, let us know — we’re already at work on the March issue.

Thanks to all our magazine distributors who keep them on hand just for you. Give them a smile and say “Ahoy” when you stop by.
