Acrobat Update

We want to remind you again about a series of upcoming performances by a charming family of sailor/acrobats who have just arrived in the Bay. They are slowly making their way around the world aboard their bright-yellow sloop, La Loupoite, and replenishing their cruising kitty along the way by passing the hat at free public performances. 

If it seems like we’re over-hyping their talents — we’ve reported on them twice before in ‘Lectronic Latitude — it’s because their approach to aerial acrobatics is completely unique and we think they’re terrific: They use their mast and rigging to achieve gymnastic stunts rather than the circus tent accessories they were trained on. Check out their website’s photos and you’ll see what we mean.
