Letter to the Sailing Community around the world from an American

Dear friends and readers,

We know this is troubling times and it might seem like the world is ending. The good news is- It's not, but it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. The boating community is one of the strongest and most enduring there is, and in times like this we need to stick together and support one another the best we can.
It's important to listen to you health officials and your own body. Washing your hands and practicing social distancing. While thousands have made a full recovery from COVID-19, there are those with compromised immune systems or the elderly who, if infected, would not fair as well. Right now the precautions in place are to help them and our communities.
If you are healthy and able, it's also a great time to remember and support your local businesses, who will ultimately be hit the hardest. Your neighbors and friends who own shops and restaurants... Or for that matter the people who work in those places and may live paycheck to paycheck.
Here at Latitudes and Attitudes, we are happy healthy and fine and ensuring our staff are taking the right measures to stay that way.
If you know someone in quarantine, or who is just having a bad week. Here's a link to a free online version of our latest Lats&Atts for this month. Send it to any friends who might be in quarantine to hopefully help them pass the time.
At the moment we do not have plans to change our Croatia Share the Sail set for May. We are monitoring that every day and will keep you updated if that changes.
Sending good vibes, and know we will all get through this.
-Bob & Jody and the whole Lats&Atts family
