Latitude 38 Question of the Month Answered

When we asked the question about which was the first Latitude 38 issue to have color photos inside, we were curious what kind of answers our readers would give. Max Crittenden read the question on our Facebook page and wrote, “Ah, jeez. Not even multiple choice?” It’s true, we didn’t offer any choices, or any clues. Perhaps we could have …

The most interesting response, however, came from Marceline Therrien, who wrote, “There’s color inside?” — Funny, Marceline … 

Chuck Cunningham attempted to answer the question, and wrote “October 1983.”

The first issue of Latitude 38 to have color photos on the inside is July 2005. Take a look at a column we wrote in that issue’s Sightings, “True Colors.”

Though not all the photos in the July 2005 issue were color; the half dozen on pages 100 -101 were a test — a selection of photos from the previous month’s Singlehanded/Doublehanded In-the-Bay Race hosted by the Singlehanded Sailing Society.

Stay tuned for our next Latitude 38 Question of the Month!
