It's That Time of Year Again
Thanks for calling 48° North If you have Race information, press 1 If you want to put your event in the Calendar, press 2 If you want to know what boat to buy, check the listings. If you're planning your sailing trip, please read the magazine. If you want to talk about your PHRF rating, call someone else. If you want us to go sailing, press S and we'll be with you immediately. 
Ah yes, March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Right. This March behaved more like a schizophrenic platypus. But the clocks are rolled ahead, there's more sun than snowflakes, and the sailing urge has hit with a vengeance. Here at the office we don't need a calendar to know it's April because the phone is ringing off the hook, a sure sign of Spring. And we love it. This time of year it's all about getting it together for another enjoyable season on the water, and we're pleased to help provide the information you need/want to know – cruising, racing, whatever adds to your good times on the water. Actually, if you call 48° North, you won't get a laundry list of options but a real person. Well, most of the time. The spring sailing bug comes through the windows with the sunshine, so you might get an answering machine. Our only goal is to put out a good mag, so if we're out of the office, rest assured we're off doing critical research to give you the best mag we can. BTW - if you have an announcement for the Calendar, Lowtide or Race section, get it to us (Karen) by the 10th of the month preceding the next mag; i.e. April 10th for the May mag. So, think ahead. People can't play if they don't know when the game is, where it is, and when it starts. See you on the water! |

Now that's a burgee! It looks great on our wall, thank you!
