Bye-Bye Ha-Ha

By Tim Henry | November 9, 2018 |

Recently spotted off the coast of Baja California, Mexico: a flock of boats heading south, stopping on occasion to drink, be merry and maybe play a game of softball, then taking to the high seas again. Must be the Baja Ha-Ha.

The silver anniversary of one of the world’s biggest cruisers’ rallies has just wrapped up in Cabo San Lucas. You may know what that means: a little debauchery at Squid Roe.

That’s none other than the Grand Poobah himself gettin’ down in Cabo.

“The 25th annual Baja Ha-Ha probably had the least wind of any Ha-Ha to date,” wrote Latitude founder Richard Spindler on his Facebook page. “One of the results was that participants saw an unprecedented amount of sea life. One boat saw something like 45 turtles in about an hour. The third leg had the most wind. Better than most years. But it was so light that Profligate never hit 12 knots during the entire 750 miles.”
