June Issue Out Today!

The new issue of Latitude 38 was put on the trucks this morning and is being delivered around the Bay Area and up and down the West Coast to our ‘exclusive’ list of distributors. Looking to pick up a copy at a location near you? Check out the list here. Having a hard time finding a place to grab a Latitude? Let us know, and we’ll add you to that ‘exclusive’ list. Also traveling with our local drivers today is the 2018 Summer Sailstice poster, which we hope you’ll hang at your local yacht club, marina or other boaty locale.

The new issue of Latitude 38 is being distributed up and down the West Coast and in the Bay Area with this year’s Summer Sailstice posters (you can also find the issue ‘on line’. Get it?).

Maybe it’s our foggy memory, but it seems like just the other day it was cool and gray. That’s not the plan for this weekend here in the Bay. Looking ahead, it promises to be clear, warm, sunny and perfect for sailing. In the Pacific Northwest, Seattle will have partly cloudy weather and maybe a little rain on Sunday. San Diego looks sunny, while Honolulu will have clouds, rain and lots of wind this weekend.

A perfect weekend for kids and whale watching (no promises).

If you haven’t already started your weekend, you can get it going with Bay Area Friday night ‘Beer Can Racing’ at Berkeley Yacht Club, Corinthian YC, Encinal YC or Tiburon YC. San Diego’s beer cans are on Wednesdays, while the Waikiki Yacht Club hosts Friday night races . . . every Friday!

Days like these inspire you to get the sail covers off.

The first person to send us a photo of themselves with the new June copy of Latitude 38 wins a hat. Email us here.

If you have a slip in Sausalito — or can score a guest slip — it’s not a bad place to wake up in the morning.

Are you looking to sail in the serene beauty of a lake? Here’s a note from Patrick Nolan: Shallow water?
The following call to action came to us by way of the Richmond Yacht Club Sailing Advisory Committee and Board of Directors: "PICYA [Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association] and RBOC [Recreational Boaters of California] have called on their member clubs to contact their congressional representatives to oppose proposed elimination of judicial review of the California WaterFix (‘Twin Tunnels’) project.
In the March edition of Latitude, writer Greg Winters explored the phenomenon of so-called ‘YouTube Sailors’, a group of cruisers and amateur (but increasingly professional) videographers who have highly successful, highly viewed ‘channels’ showcasing their sailing exploits — in rare cases, some of these cruisers are making a living from their videos.
