Latitude 38’s July Issue Is on the Docks Today

By Monica Grant | June 30, 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area |

It’s time for a new issue of Latitude 38! In this month’s magazine we bring you a range of feature stories, along with your regular favorites and columns. Here’s a sneak preview:

Michael La Guardia shares his experience of sailing to socal, and back again.

“‘A sailor’s plans are written in sand.’ I’d heard this, but never really understood it. I understand it better now, but I’ve also come to realize that it is not just an aphorism. It is an immutable, indifferent and exacting law.”

We bring you a wrap-up of the 2021 Master Mariners Race, which may have been the most-photographed event on San Francisco Bay in the past year and a half. Heck, there were probably more photographers out there than boats racing!

Thirty-eight boats (some of which should properly be called ships) sailed; 33 finished.

Latitude 38 editor-at-large Andy Turpin finally did the Tahiti Pearl Regatta again, this time with his wife Julie on their own boat, Little Wing.

July Latitude 38
Fifteen years ago I was introduced first-hand to this spectacular sailors’ haven with an invitation to race in the annual Tahiti Pearl Regatta, and report on it for Latitude. Talk about a plum assignment!

In Sightings Fiona Wylde talks about diabetes and her dream to be a professional athlete; the Delta Doo Dah sails its way into triple digits; US Olympic sailors receive a virtual send-off. And there’s more …

Max Ebb talks “a Lot of Bunk”; in Loose Lips we share the month’s best Caption Contest(!) comments; on page 54 collegiate racers turn the tide on diversity …

But don’t just read about it on this page, go grab your July issue at your favorite or nearest distributor, or download a copy at Latitude38.com.
