It’s all over but paying off the credit card bills. We’re talking, of course, about the Strictly Sail Pacific boat show, which concluded yesterday and appears to have been a huge success.

For devotees of Latitude 38 magazine, one of the high points of the show was sipping suds and swapping tales at our annual booth party last Friday evening. In attendance were many veterans of the Baja Ha-Ha, Pacific Puddle Jump and Delta Doo Dah rallies, as well as many who hope to eventually follow in their wake.

Hundreds of show-goers dropped by the Latitude booth on Friday to grab a free brewski and tell some tall tales.

If you count yourself among such would-be cruisers, we’ll remind you that online sign-ups for the 18th annual Baja Ha-Ha rally begin Monday, May 2, while sign-ups for this season’s Puddle Jump conclude at the end of April. (Online entries for next year’s rally will begin after January 1.)
