John Guzzwell Lends His Expertise
It was more than 50 years ago that a young British immigrant to Canada named John Guzzwell made history by completing an unprecedented circumnavigation aboard Trekka, a 21-ft wooden yawl he’d built with his own hands. The book he published about his adventures, Trekka Round the World, became a cult classic among would-be voyagers, and…
Readers Share Their Wit
On Monday we couldn’t resist sharing the astounding video of the sloop Atalanta trying to squeak past the bow of an 870-ft long supertanker during Cowe’s Week off the Isle of Wight. Dozens of readers lent their wit to our caption/headline contest for the video. Below is a sampling: "So what part of ‘starboard’ don’t…

Delta Doo Dah 3D Ends
Potato Slough was the favored stop for the Doo Dah’s three free days — about 30 boats made their way there. latitude/LaDonna©2011 Latitude 38 Media, LLC The Delta Doo Dah 3D may have ended on Friday, but it’s far from forgotten. From the gracious welcomes the fleet received at all the official stops, to the…
Who Needs Bottom Paint?
You won’t blow your budget if you use the East African method of bottom cleaning. Although, according to these fishermen in Zanzibar, you do have to perform this ritual four times a year. © Craig Anderson Seems like every time we’re around a boatyard we hear boat owners grousing about the exorbitant cost of bottom…
Uhh. . . Really?
The annual Cowes Week is a bit off our normal beat, but we couldn’t resist sharing this jaw-dropping video with you, which seems to illustrate an over-abundance of wishful thinking. Did crewmen aboard the sloop Atalanta really think they could make it past the supertanker’s bow in time? Were they pushing their perceived right of…
Maritime Day Tomorrow in Sausalito

Polynesian Vakas Make “Awesome Entry”
Six Polynesian sisterships entered the Bay earlier this week with their ornately decorated sails rigged wing and wing. © 2011 Mark Hofmann / Oceanic Nature Film Productions, 2011 "What a ride! We hit the Golden Gate Bridge and the wind funneling through the heads kicked in like flicking a switch. We leapt forward at a…
Another Bash
We’re not gentlemen, and we can prove it. For the second time in three years, we just completed a 1,000-mile Baja Bash. And as everybody knows, gentlemen don’t go to weather. It being so late in the season, we reasoned that all we had to do was avoid the hurricanes — two threatened — and…
People Are Talking
But who are those people? Dona de Mallorca and the Wanderer are currently on the last few miles of a sloppier-than-normal doublehanded Baja Bash aboard Latitude 38‘s 63-ft cat Profligate. There’s been a surprising amount of conversation aboard — surprising because one person is usually on watch while the other is trying to catch up…
