Ha-Ha Folks in Caribbean 1500
As we’ve often written, we West Coast sailors generally have a much easier time getting to the tropics than do our sailing friends on the East Coast. Lynn Potter and Larry Klein of the Carmichael-based Catalina 470 Beaudacious, vets of the ’06 Ha-Ha who have just finished the Caribbean 1500, will vouch for that. Here’s…
Having a Blast on Banderas Bay
People often ask us if a certain type of boat is "good" or not. It’s hard to answer, because not only are different boats good for different uses, but they are often good or bad depending on who is trying to use them for a particular purpose. So our answer usually starts with the semi…
Boats Break Loose in the Bay

Bargain-Boat Cruising
Who says you have to be old and gray – or have a $500,000 yacht – to go cruising? Zachary Lough (front) and these other young cruisers opted to take the fast track into the cruising life by sacrificing creature comforts. latitude/Andy©2011 Latitude 38 Media, LLC Not surprisingly, some of the sailors who seemed to…
Chillin’ in Puget Sound
If this weekend’s less-than-stellar Bay Area forecast already has you thinking twice about taking your boat out, just take a look at what Puget Sound sailors were actually eager to experience last weekend. (Don’t miss the craziness at the 3:30 mark!) Adrian Johnson, the Seattlite who raced his Olson 30 Idefix to a win in…
Mexico – The Good and Bad
The bad news is that two dinghies and outboards went missing in Cabo right after the Ha-Ha. The losses could have been the result of a bad knot and not pulling a dinghy far enough up a beach, respectively. But if we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times, lock your dinghy, lock…

Brian Carl hopes readers will know…
