Reading Latitude in Malta

Emmanuel Uren got such a kick out of assisting on the Royal Malta YC’s race committee boat, he joined the club!

Bay Area sailor Emmanuel Uren sure does get around. The Golden Gate YC member sent us a photo of himself at the AC World Series races in Plymouth, England in September, 2011, and now he’s sent this one. "I was on the committee boat, preparing to assist in running a match race in Marsamxett Harbour, Malta on March 31," he writes. "Two guys go out into the Mediterranean in a Zodiac to set the marks and run the races, even when the seas are capping. I’ve never seen anything like it! I’ve been on GGYC and SBYC’s race committees for several years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen fewer than five people go out. By the end of my week there, I’d joined the Royal Malta YC!"

As you might suspect, we get a kick out of seeing sailors reading Latitude in different ports of call around the world. If you have fun shots like Emmanuel’s, be sure to send them to us.
