Put a Lid on It

In Friday’s ‘Lectronic Latitude we slipped this line into our first story about the delivery of the new issue: "The first person to send us a photo of themselves with the new June copy of Latitude 38 wins a hat. Email us here." Not long after, we got a few emails, but the first two were readers of the digital edition — not paper copies of the magazine. The first photo with a copy of the magazine came from Mark Bettis, harbormaster at Coyote Point Marina.

It’s not that Mark needed a new hat, it’s that he needed a new hat with a cool logo.

We do deliver magazines right to his door, so it gave him a bit of a head start, but, since he had a rather plain-looking hat on his head and we hadn’t further clarified things, we figured he deserved it anyway. Next month we’ll refine the game and look for photos of you with the magazine. 

Mark sails his Pacific Seacraft 37 Shannon out of Coyote Point Marina, so keep an eye out for him with a new ‘lid’, a blue Latitude 38 hat. Tune in on June 29 for the next one and some slightly updated rules. Thanks to everyone for picking up a copy of Latitude 38 since "There ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby."
