Our tour of the San Diego waterfront, following the start of the 30th Annual Baja Ha-Ha, reminded us once again how awesome the San Diego sailing community is. Actually, the whole sailing community. We stopped in to see many of our customers and the great businesses that put our magazines on display to be picked up by our readers and their customers. There are many more, but we did grab a few photos from the places we stopped.
We interrupted South Coast Yachts owner Barrett Canfield, in the middle of a meeting, to grab this quick shot at his office at Safe Harbor Sunroad Marina.
If you stop by to see Stephen Driscoll at Driscoll Boatworks on Shelter Island, you’ll also be able to pick up the current issue of Latitude 38. He took second in the PC National Champions last weekend aboard Skylark, and he and his dad Chuck took first overall in this year’s Yachting Cup aboard their J/105 Juiced.
We walked in on Captain Len Bucko as he was reading the latest issue, which he’d just placed on the rack outside the offices at California Yacht Sales, at Harbor Island West Marina. He’s a captain and sailing instructor, and has some good stories to tell.
Dante greeted us at the door of the Satellite Phone Store on Shelter Island Drive. They had their magazines displayed in their showroom along with lots of great equipment that will help you stay in touch while you’re sailing across the ocean.
Kim Dumas sells boats for Denison Yachts and was one of our hosts aboard West Coast Multihulls‘ Bali 40, the committee boat for the Baja Ha-Ha start. Kim’s showing us their ad for the new Seawind 1600 catamaran they now have in stock at their docks on Shelter Island.
The November issue that had been dropped onto the counter at Marina Cortez on Harbor Island where Cindy was putting them out for display just as we arrived. Thanks so much!
Shelter Island Marina harbormaster Phillip Dias and associate Danielle White put the magazines out every month. They didn’t need to point out the spars of the 150-ft Pendennis-built ketch Christopher that were towering overhead.
Ron Gullan of Yachtfinders on Shelter Island also always has the current issue on hand for you. He was proudly displaying his 2024 Baja Ha-Ha sponsor flag, plus three more rows of Ha-Ha flags dating back to his first flag from 1995.
Sean Davies joined Ray Pope at Rigworks on Carleton Street and has been serving up Latitude 38s plus top-notch rigging services and Gottfried Maffioli line ever since.
As we said, if you want to meet some nice people, just head down to the waterfront to see any of these folks here, or anyone on our distribution map in San Diego. The closer you get to the water, the closer you get to Latitude 38, great people and more sailing.
This summer, the record-setting 41-ft 'Moli' and her doublehanded crew of Randall and Harmon sailed from Kodiak, Alaska, to St. John's, Newfoundland, through the famed ice-filled sea lane connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
