Latitudes & Attitudes Magazine Under Reconstruction

6/20/2012

Bob Lipkin (AKA Bob Bitchin) formerly publisher of Latitudes and Attitudes magazine sent this note to Blue Water Sailing magazine (popped up on my Facebook Wall post):

"As many of you know, we sold Latitudes & Attitudes last January, and as part of the sales agreement, we were to work as consultants. Recently, we discovered things were not as they should be. Last week we found out that the July issue did not print, although advertisers had been billed. This morning, the offices were locked with the following sign on the door: "Offices Closed Until Further Notice."

Jody & I put our lives into the magazine, TV show, events and lifestyle for over 15 years. It is with very heavy hearts that we have to make this announcement."

The magazine website (seafaring.com) is down with the message"

"Due to recent changes, this site is being re-designed.  If you would like to be kept informed and updated on when it will be operational again, please enter your email below."

UPDATE:

The previous publishers of Lats and Ats now publish the Cruising Outpost had have written about the sale and subsequent problems at http://cruisingoutpost.com/2012/10/inglorious-latitudes-attitudes/

The new owners finally came back with their side of the story with a website they call

The Inglorious Demise of Latitudes & Attitudes and Seafaring.com
