Polynesian Fleet Due to Arrive Early
As reported earlier, a fleet of six double-hulled voyaging canoes are currently heading to San Francisco Bay from the Hawaiian Islands. Despite the fact that they are navigating by the stars, as their ancestors did, they’re way ahead of schedule — now expected to pass beneath the Golden Gate as early as July 30. We…

Now that’s a niiiiiiiiice wave!

Bonus Points for Esmeralda
Esmerelda sailed through the Gate yesterday under full sail and foggy skies. latitude/Andy©2011 Latitude 38 Media, LLC It was truly unfortunate that the 370-ft Chilean tall ship Esmeralda didn’t arrive beneath the Golden Gate Wednesday morning as planned, because the weather was absolutely stunning on that clear, sunny morning. That said, there was almost no…
Esmeralda Delayed Until Thursday
If you took our advice and sailed out to greet the Chilean tall ship Esmeralda yesterday as she entered the Golden Gate, you may have thought she somehow slipped by you unnoticed. That wasn’t the case. Being 370 feet long, she’s not the sort of vessel that goes anywhere without turning heads and inspiring awe.…
Crony Capitalism About to Degrade Your GPS?
U.S. taxpayers, via the Department of Defense, paid for the development, installation and maintenance of our GPS system. Now it’s in danger of degradation anywhere within the range of cell phone towers — thanks to what would appear to be crony capitalism of the worst sort at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the White…
