LATITUDE 38 & THE PACIFIC PUDDLE JUMP RALLY

Ever since we coined the phrase ‘Pacific Puddle Jump’ 15 years ago, the staff of Latitude 38 magazine has been intimately involved with the annual migration of cruisers from the Americas to French Polynesia.

Not only do we report on each year’s fleet in the monthly magazine and online in ‘Lectronic Latitude, but we host pre-departure parties in Mexico and Panama, and we co-host a three-day post-arrival celebration in Tahiti. In addition, we maintain an archive of articles, fleet lists and photos at www.pacificpuddlejump.com.

We anticipate that we will be able to offer 2011 fleet members a special deal via a Tahiti yacht agent which will give them 'bond' exemptions, clearance in and out, plus the right to buy fuel duty free, all for a nominal fee.
