A sailor who was doing some spring cleaning brought a stack of very old Latitudes by our office a while ago. Although I've worked here for 20 years, they are all before my time. In perusing them, I came across a real treasure: editor John Riise's story of his first Delta cruise, which was solo no less (he has since been back with his family many times). It inspired me to add a 'Delta Stories' section to the Web site. Check it out at
http://www.deltadoodah.com/articles/DeltaStories.htmlThe list of stories is still minimal, but includes last year's Primer and my favorite Delta article of all time, 'The Cruise of the Laundry Basket'. If you think you need a lot of stuff to sail the Delta, be sure to read that one!
