This is the story of the voyage that created Latitudes & Attitudes Magazine and the television series of the same name. Join Bob & Jody & the various crew as they visit exotic ports from the sandy beaches of the South Pacific to the ancient cities of Greece and beyond.
Attitude is the difference between Ordeal and adventure.
That has been life’s motto for Bob Bitchin since he was a child. This book shows numerous exampes of just how this motto has stood him thru adventure after adventure. Sail with Bob & Jody as they are knocked down by an 80’ wave in the Alenuihaha Channel in the Hawaiian Islands, and as a waterspout does it again in mid-Atlantic. Join the crew of the Lost Soul crossing the oceans of the world, and visit countries and cities that most people only dream of. See why Bob believes that sailing saved his life, and, more than that, enhanced it beyond his wildest dreams.

Letters from The Lost Soul BOB BITCHIN
Bob Bitchin divides his time between Publishing, writing, world cruising, doing seminars on sailing, riding his Harley and writing books. Famous motorcycle daredevil Evil Knievel needed a traveling companion and body-guard, and when they met in Hollywood in 1973 Bob took on that job until the Snake River Canyon Jump when Knievel retired. After that Bob created “Cycle Expo” in 1974 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. At that time it was the largest motorcycle show in the world. He went on to create Biker Magazine and Tattoo Magazine in the 70’s and early 80’s. He also worked as editor of many of the motorcycle magazines of that era including Big Bike, Choppers and Chopper Guide, and wrote for other publications as diverse as Forbes, Penthouse and New Look. He helped found, and was elected the first President of the Motorcycle Press Association in 1978 and he co-founded A.B.A.T.E., a national organization of motorcyclists. He and LACO Bob Lawrence co-created the very first Toy run in December of 1973, which now takes place in thousands of cities world-wide. He met Alan Olson, Captain of Stone Witch, which was the flag-ship for GreenPeace. His life was changed forever. He sold BIKER and TATTOO magazines and started sailing full time. He kidnapped Jody, the bartender at the Portofino Marina Yacht Club, and they were married on board Lost Soul at the Portofino Marina on their return from their world voyage. In 1996 they created the magazine Latitudes & Attitudes, the #1 selling boating lifestyle publication in the USA. Bob has two children, six grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren and still rides and sails all over the world whenever he gets the chance. He and his wife Jody live in the Sierra Nevada mountains, between the middle and north forks of the Feather River, overlooking Lake Oroville, in Berry Creek, California.
