May Issue of Latitude on Stands Today

May Day is celebrated differently around the world. In England, young lasses gaily prance around a May Pole. The Irish light bonfires to welcome spring and banish long winter nights. Germans are known to "dance into May." And in Hawaii, the day is known as Lei Day, a day to celebrate native Hawaiian culture.

Around the Bay Area today, sailors can celebrate May Day by dropping by their local chandleries, marinas, or yacht clubs to pick up the May issue of Latitude 38, hot off the press (search our list of distributors for one in your area). Cruise vicariously through stories about the Sea of Cortez Sailing Week and the BVI Spring Regatta, read about the thrilling rescue of two sailors tossed into the drink after their keel fell off just outside the Bay, and find out more about this year’s class of Puddle Jumpers. Of course there’s so much more that you’ll want to do a dance of your own!

By the way, the correct caption for the bottom photo on page 94 should have read "A wave sweeps over Ralf Morgan and Deborah Clark onboard Ditzy." Our apologies to Ralf and Deborah for the error!
