A Young Girls’ ‘Mafia’ in the Ha-Ha?

It could be. So far there are 10 girls on boats that have signed up for late October’s Baja Ha-Ha from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. Their ages are 14, 14, 13, 12, 10, 10, 8, 7, 6 and 5. Wow, that’s a lot, and pretty much bunched into a close age range.

The Poobah is really excited about it because he knows how important socializing is to growing kids. And how for parents with kids, finding other ‘kid boats’ is all-important. ‘Cause if momma ain’t happy, nobody is happy. And if the kids aren’t happy, momma isn’t happy.

Nobody cares about dear old dad.

In addition to the girls, there are seven boys, although two of them are just a year old and one is 2 years old, so they won’t be the social butterflies the older girls will be. But there is also a 13-, a 10-, an 8- and a 7-year-old, so the boys will have companions, too.

In past Ha-Ha’s, the kids have had a great time setting up their own radio net and enjoying games and adventures on the beach.

The Grand Poobah will be happy to work with any ‘kid boat’ parents who want to plan activities for the kids. And if there is enough interest, we can host a Jump off the Back of Profligate and Swim to Candy Island event during the stop at Bahia Santa Maria.

If you’re a ‘kid boat’, there’s still time to sign up for the Ha-Ha at www.baja-haha.com.
