What does a Sailstice poster look like in China?

This one was not designed at home! Luckily Alistair Skinner and his fiance Li Li are on the job in Shanghai to help promote Summer Sailstice in the local language!

It's not easy connecting the world's sailors, mais non?  The boats we all sail are different enough but then add in cultures, time zones and languages and connecting sailors worldwide is more challenging than ever.   However, there are sailors everywhere who can help facilitate the sailing locally - from Sweden to Shanghai.  Great to be sailing 'with' sailors in both places even though I don't know what the poster says!

Located at 31.06.44.00 N/120.59.40.00 E and being, as Alistair notes, one of the first sailing centers over the international dateline and beginning their sail again at sunrise aboard their two 1/4 tonners, they'll have a great shot at being the first sailors sailing for Summer Saisltice!  Plus we note they're located on a latitude just south of San Diego, CA!

We'll be joining them for a Summer Sailstice sail...but almost 18 hours later in the day!
