Sunny Pacific Sail Show
Yes, we know it was a beautiful weekend for sailing and Opening Day. We watched enviously as boats sailed past our booth at the Craneway building while we exhibited at the Pacific Sail & Power Boat Show, but we also had a fabulous time chatting with an endless parade of visitors during the busy four-day show.
At the Latitude 38 booth we had a number of contests, new apparel, a scavenger hunt and visits from many esteemed sailors and guests. The latter included world voyager, author and founder of the ARC Rally Jimmy Cornell; the Grand Poobah himself, Richard Spindler, founder of Latitude 38, the Baja Ha-Ha (25th annual edition coming up) and numerous other sailing shenanigans; a visit by April cover artist Jim DeWitt; and many others. Many showed up for our Friday night party in Assemble Restaurant with beers from East Brother Beer Co. and wine supplied by Twin Rivers Marine Insurance.
A day on the Bay and a day at the show would have made for a perfect weekend combo. For us it was all show all the time, but we’ll be back on the Bay this weekend. We look forward to seeing you on the water soon.
