Pacific Puddle Jump Seminar Next Saturday

Despite all the dire economic news, there’s no shortage of cruisers heading south this fall. Many of them hope to eventually continue west into the South Pacific — a voyage we like to call the Pacific Puddle Jump. That’s why Latitude will be hosting a special Puddle Jump seminar in San Diego, Saturday, October 25.

To be held at 5 p.m. inside the West Marine store at 1250 Rosecrans, the centerpiece of our presentation will be a 20-minute digital slide show narrated by longtime French Polynesia sailor Stephanie Betz. We’ll have literature to share from Tahiti Tourism, info about Latitude‘s PPJ Kick-off parties in February and the Tahiti arrival celebration in June, plus a short presentation on South Pacific conservation by the nonprofit Oceanswatch organization. Several veteran South Pacific sailors will be on hand to answer questions on all aspects of South Pacific cruising. Seating will be limited to about 100; no reservations required.
