Another Issue of Latitude 38, Another Golden Ticket Winner

“Thanks to all you salts!” wrote Terry Jackson, who found a Golden Ticket in the September issue of Latitude 38.

“I go down to the Berkeley Boat Yard [aka Berkeley Marine Center] every month to pick up my copy and ogle all the hulls on the hard. I crewed for wonderful Hal Cunningham in the ’60s and early ’70s in his 35-ft no-class; we did Bay winter races and the Farrallones. Earlier, in 1953, I was a swab at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, and sailed to Bermuda on the square-rigger Eagle. We no sooner got there than [we] were driven off by a hurricane approaching, which shredded our t’gallants and royals (only sails set).”

Terry will soon be the proud owner of a Latitude 38 T-shirt. Be sure to check the latest issue of Latitude to find your Golden Ticket!

    Peace from the “Hokahey”. While the great skills of our “Blue Angels” and other pilots is to be appreciated. Just remember that all these skills from all our miliary services (including now computer flown drones) are often seen with terror by millions of civilians in other lands without any declaration of war in violation of our U.S. Constitution and International Laws!

A Matter of Degrees
California is home to great training resources for anyone who wants to pursue a professional sailing and maritime career. Cal Maritime Academy is right off San Pablo Bay in Vallejo, and graduates new classes of merchant marines every year.
