The Multi-Use Magazine

When Latitude 38 readers tell us that we produce a great product, it’s a nice payback for all the hard work involved in producing it. Over the years we’ve been told that in addition to spreading sailing news, Latitudes make excellent fly swatters when tightly rolled, and their pages can serve as backup resources for wrapping fish and getting campfires going. Gary Esterly of Washington recently shared this additional use:

"We were camping near the Dosewallips River in the Hood Canal area of Puget sound, Washington. I got so comfortable that I took a little snooze. Your magazine makes an excellent sun shade!

"I look forward to the 10th of every month because that’s when new issues of Latitude 38 are usually available at the local West Marine. When I’m not deeply involved in reading the latest issue, I enjoy sailing my Hobie 18 or working on my Coronado 25. Keep up the great work!"

Well, thanks Gary. Anyone else out there have a novel use for our magazines? Email us here.
