Quake Anniversary in October
Believe it or not, October marks the 20th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake. Although the ‘big one’ for San Francisco will always be the 1906 quake, the 1989 Loma Prieta temblor is the one most of us alive will remember. While it had nothing to do directly with sailing, it certainly touched the marinas,…

Boat Electronics Quiz
If you’re a boat electronics whiz, here’s your chance to perhaps outshine the tech folks at Raymarine.

Specifically, when first turned on,…

As longtime voyagers will confirm, you just never know when she’s going to get a bee…
Driving Taxpayers to Drink Cheap Rum
The following are first three paragraphs of a story by Tom Hamburger and Peter Wallsten that appeared in the August 2 Los Angeles Times. While the connection between sailing and rum is somewhat tenuous, we thought the story was so outrageous, but so typical, that we couldn‘t resist. "Yo ho ho and a bottle of…

Biggest Ha-Ha Entry List Ever
As of today, the Baja Ha-Ha has received 186 paid entries, and several more are expected. This means the old entry record of 183 has been eclipsed. This comes as a pleasant surprise to the Grand ‘worst case scenario’ Poobah who, back in May, feared the entry list might be as low as 100 boats…
