Workin’ It for a Living

Pablo’s stamina for craziness is phenomenal – and he doesn’t even wear ear plugs.

A long-held tradition among West Coast sailors is to pay a visit to the gritty dance bar called Squid Roe shortly after arriving at Cabo San Lucas. Notorious for its infectious dance mix, Jell-O shots and lascivious behavior, the place inspires even middle-aged couch potatoes to grind away on the sweat-splattered dance floor for hours. As you might imagine, the Squid is much more fun when you’re with a group — like when the Baja Ha-Ha fleet is in.

Once a year is enough for all but the most ardent party animals. So imagine what level of stamina it takes to endure such craziness seven days a week. Amazingly, that’s what the Squid’s tireless MC/DJ Pablo does. And this week he’s celebrating 14 years of continuous service. Really, the guy is a phenomenon. So our hats are off to Pablo. Long may he writhe!
