Got Crew? Ha-Ha-ers Gather October 3
Just this morning Joseph McGinnis wrote to Latitude 38 asking how he might find a ride on this year’s Baja Ha-Ha cruisers rally from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. Our advice to Joseph and others is to first sign up on Lat 38‘s Mexico-Only Crew List. You can now register online and it’s free!
Second, we advised Joseph to show up at our Mexico-Only Crew List Party, October 3 (6-9 p.m.) at the Encinal YC in Alameda. (Click here for details.) It’s a fun-filled night where skippers-in-need and potential crew mingle and schmooze – and Ha-Ha crew commitments are often firmed up on the spot.
When Ha-Ha boats arrive in San Diego this year, they’ll get a warmer reception than ever before. Not only will the San Diego Harbor Police’s Mooring Office (619-686-6227) be keeping a list of all available slips in the area, but they’ll be giving official Ha-Ha entrants a Welcome-to-San-Diego packet with discounts and special offers from local businesses, plus permits for a special anchorage at Glorietta Bay. In addition to sponsoring the Ha-Ha Costume Kickoff Party, West Marine will be hosting a series of seminars at their Shelter Island store and will be offering free shuttle service to their store, the airport, consolates, etc. (Call 619-225-8844 to schedule a ride.)
