Ha-Ha Gets Sweeter by the Leg

Most of the Sweet Sixteen Baja Ha-Ha Fleet is now comfortably anchored in Bahia Santa Maria, after completing an extremely mellow second leg — a distinct contrast to the ultra-rowdy conditions of Leg 1.

On Sunday, the morning after a fun-filled Turtle Bay beach party, the fleet crossed the Leg 2 starting line at 11 a.m. under brilliant sunny skies with 12 knots of breeze and flat seas. Within seconds of reaching across the line, chutes were popping in evey color of the rainbow. In the afternoon hours, the wind increased offshore to 15 knots from the northwest, inspiring some sailors to say it was the most idyllic sailing conditions they’d seen in years.

With air temps in the 80s and water temps in the high 70s today at Bahia Santa Maria, conditions are ideal for swimming, surfing, beach walking or simply chillin’. Tomorrow, local fishermen will host their annual fish fry ashore; Wednesday morning, the fleet will take off early for Cabo San Lucas. Stay tuned for further reports and photos.
