Labor Weekend Reading
In case you forgot that yesterday was September 1, we’d like to remind you to head on over to your nearest Latitude 38 distribution point before you head out for the long Labor Day weekend. The September cover is hard to miss: a couple of kids loving life during last month’s Delta Doo Dah 3D.…
A Roundabout Route to Mexico
Since its inception 18 years ago, sailors from greatly varied backgrounds have participated in our annual Baja Ha-Ha rally from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. Some are lifelong sailors with vast offshore experience, while others are relative newcomers who’ve only recently tested offshore waters. Some sail aboard million-dollar yachts, while others sail on bargain-priced…
Did Profligate Leave a “Closed Port?”
One of the Oceanside lifeguards rides a wave down the center of the 25-ft deep harbor entrance shortly after we entered with Profligate. latitude/Richard©2011 Latitude 38 Media, LLC A "closed port?" Not really, not anymore than Profligate is, as was also reported by CBS channel 8 KFMB San Diego, a "trimaran." At least the news…
SPECIAL EDITION: Windjammers Cancelled
We bring you this webcam snapshot of the Santa Cruz Harbor Beach not to show you the size of the waves, rather to show that the harbor’s webcams desperately need cleaning! © 2011 Santa Cruz Harbor The crews on the 28 boats signed up for tomorrow’s Windjammers Race from the Bay to Santa Cruz will…
Own a Piece of Cinematic History
"Seriously for sale. Must be sold! All offers considered!" So reads a listing for the "original" HMS Bounty on an Internet sales site. Wow, could we have fun with that. Unfortunately, the $4 million-price tag is a bit beyond the depth of our novelty boat slush fund. But it’s worth fantasizing about nonetheless. The idea of…
The Potters Hit Carquinez
“Hey, where are all the other boats?!” © Goose Gossman While others spent last weekend doing something other than sailing, Goose Gossman and the members of the perpetually-sailing Potter Yachter group enjoyed beautiful sailing conditions in Carquinez Strait. "Saturday morning served up sporting conditions which made deep reefing necessary, so prudent novices teamed up with…
“Do the Ha-Ha and Get Your Head Cut Off!”
Each year we’re reminded, in a very curious way, when it’s about two months until the start of the Baja Ha-Ha. The ‘alarm’ is that a few people, most of whom refuse to identify themselves — try to tell as many people as possible that they would be crazy to do the Ha-Ha. We’re unclear…
Goodnight, Irene
A couple anchored their big Hunter Maybe Tomorrow off Norfolk, Virginia, on Friday night when conditions on Chesapeake Bay worsened. They and their cat were rescued when the boat washed ashore Saturday morning. © Bill Tiernan As millions on the East Coast start this week without power, the effects of Hurricane Irene are still being…
South Pacific Reefs Claim Another Sailboat
Although most passage-makers in this year’s Pacific Puddle Jump rally rated their crossing to French Polynesia as easier than expected, every offshore sailor gets occasional reminders that merely a few minutes of inattention or bad luck can lead to a ‘game-ending’ disaster. The latest illustration of this somber fact came last Wednesday night when the…
Kiters Sweep Bridge to Bridge Podium
A decidedly mellow Ronstan Bridge to Bridge Race allowed the kiters to take the top-three spots. © Rich Roberts The Ronstan Bridge to Bridge Race drew 37 entries yesterday afternoon for what by all accounts was a pretty mellow 7.5-mile slide from the Gate to Yerba Buena Island. We didn’t get to watch it go…
Sailagram: A Snapshot of March Sailing
Spring has sprung, along with our clocks and our docklines. Sailors have been making the most of the warmer, sunny weather and enjoying the spring breezes on the Bay.
