The 2026 Baja Ha-Ha fleet is set to arrive in Cabo San Lucas today for tonight’s “Can’t Believe We Cheated Death Again” dance and party at Squid Roe. By all accounts, this has been a stellar year for the fleet sailing to and in Mexico.
We’ve received stacks of photos from this year’s fleet and are putting them together for a report in Latitude 38’s December issue. In the meantime, we’ve shared a few below — just to give you a taste of the fun happening south of the border.
Trace Fleming sent in this photo from aboard Fair Isle, a Whitby 42 owned by Monte Junker and Acasia Berry from Mosier, OR. “The costume is a nod to the near-Halloween departure.”
A crew photo from the Oyster 595 Genevieve, owned by Rob and Suzanne Schwager of Santa Barbara. Crew member John, the photobomber, hails from from Victoria, BC.
And at the end of the day, you can be pretty sure of a fantastic sunset. The Hunter DS 41 Knot a Dream — Ron and Donna Mael from Chandler, AZ, with crew Jared and Amy McFarland.
Okay they got the best and biggest fish award! We hooked a marlin in 2025 but lost it.
