Dodging Drops to Deliver Latitude

By John Arndt | March 2, 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area |

The only thing good in today’s forecast is the delivery of the March issue of Latitude 38 (and snow in Tahoe).

Our drivers are on the road now bringing Latitude 38 to the best waterfront businesses in the Bay Area. Delivery is also underway via common carrier from Seattle to San Diego.

This month’s issue contains insights on how to (maybe) make a living with video blogs while cruising; the down low on the agony and ecstasy of the 317 starters and only four finishers of this year’s Three Bridge Fiasco, the question: "After a circumnavigation where would you return to cruise?"; the Beneteau 393 Salt hits Mexico after the Ha-Ha in Changes in Latitudes; and lots more in Letters, Sightings and Max Ebb.

You’ll note our driver Erik went in the rain unprotected while the magazines got the umbrella. Travelers insurance for magazines.

What’s better on a rainy day than sitting back and reading the latest issue of Latitude 38? Or tomorrow you might pick up a Latitude during the forecast ‘light’ showers at Sail A Small Boat Day at Richmond Yacht Club or at midwinter races at Encinal YC, Golden Gate YC, Benicia YC, Tiburon YC or at Sausalito Midwinters on Sunday. Not sure where to sail? You can find all the race activity this weekend or the rest of March in the 2018 Calendar, here.

Hot tip of the month: you don’t need scissors to open the straps on a bundle of Latitudes — just find where the straps are joined, roll it over and peel from the back side. Gets you to your reading quickly and easily, and you don’t have to run with scissors.

'Lectronic Latitude: Friday, Mar 2
Catching Up with the Middletons
Actually, since they’re sailing their Atlantic 57 Nogal, you won’t likely catch them. Since they left the Bay Area in spring 2016, Frank, Marilia, Julia and Sophia have sailed thousands of miles across the Pacific, had first-hand lessons on sailing the world’s oceans, kept up with some book learning, and are now are enjoying Southeast Asia.
The Latitude Movie Culb
The Latitude Movie Club: Pirates of the Caribbean
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was a good movie, and everything that followed diminished in quality, fun and coherent storytelling, and repeated the same tired, monster-laden formula that was, in our sailorly opinion, the weakest part of the original plot to begin with.
