I curious...who are the members from L&A here? I'm just wondering what the JV is supposed to be about. They seem like a fun crowd, and definitely know how to throw a party.
So how do we crank this thing up? I can start spinning some Jimmy Cliff if that will get some people out on the floor.
I have thought the same thing as I do enjoy the Mag. but why is there a section for L & A or Seafairing Magizine as it goes by now days.
Maybe if the good ole' Bob *****'in would make a drop in it would take off. I have dropped in a few times to see what was go'in on in there and have yet to find anything.
SD i'm also a TX sailor. Hope to see ya on the water.
I was wondering the same thing as all I hear on this forum is chricketes. JV = Junior Varsity and SD = sailing daily? I don't know what to think.
Ole Bob *****'in could drop in and I wouldn't even know if he did.
Good on ya' ole Bob.
Crickets...
Yawn.
We would like to formally request a brief audience. We think this JV is a cool idea, but so far it's been like a Junior High dance where we're all sitting around the dance floor, drinking flat punch, adjusting our bowties, and looking longingly at the ladies as "I Can't Fight This Feelin' Anymore" blares over the PA.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ........................ I was asleep. I,ve been sitting waiting for Bobs reply. Oh no, he could have tryed to post exactly when we did and not gone through.
If so Bob try another time and we will sit patiently waiting.
Kewl.
Hey, I should keep up on things here. I talked to him at the St. Pete FL boat show a few times. If I had known I could have told him he was being haled. Talked to him at the "Cruisers Party" but he might not have thought I was serious cause I might have dranks a bit.
Thx SD, been lurking a little while. We have been closing on this boat for more than a month now, feels like forever. I'll start posting something of greater interest once we actually own it for sure... sigh
Did Lats&Atts become like so many mags before it, too successful and then more&more glossy and high-endy? And what's with the sort-of name change?
My husband says he wanted to buy a recent issue for plane reading but didn't want to be seen on base with something that had that kind of cover photo Guess some things haven't changed!

Update: July 28, we closed JULY 28!!! Whew that took a while. So maybe in the same manana spirit, Lats & Atts will show up here and do something fun ... some day
Seafaring was added to the name due to magazine stands and book stores were placing it in the travel sections instead of boating.
It's been part of their history to have a pic of a woman on a boat on the cover. I think there has only been a few with out.
I'm currently reading one of Bob Bitchins books, Letters from the Lost Soul. He has a funny way telling stories. Some of the stories aren't that good but he tells them well.
Bob started out in the publishing industry with biker mags. Most of those mags have women posing on top of bikes for their covers as well. You wouldn't expect a biker turned cruiser to put out something like Cruising World, right?
SD Dude,
I thought you were in a convent already? Or was that contempt or incontinent?
All seriousness aside this reminds me of a funny scene from one of the Airplane movies where there is a shot of a Nun on the airplane in uniform reading a copy of 'Boys Life' (glossy photo cover) and right next to her is reading a copy of the magazine 'Nun's Life' (also with a glossy photo cover).
The L&A website occasionally has some interesting articles but I have not checked out if they have a forum or not. Maybe they did not like Smack or maybe it is more like a graveyard as the Smackster alludes. I could also be confusing them with 'Lattitude 38' (?) from SF Bay area.

This thread sure needs a lot of Tabasco sauce to bring it up to worth reading.
