Ha-Ha Reunion Party Recap

If you didn’t make it to Strictly Sail Pacific this year, you missed a good one. Construction at Jack London Square in Oakland meant smaller tents and a ‘cozier’ setting. "It’s wonderful," Lin Pardey told us. "It feels more like a festival than a boat show."

And that festival turned into one heck of a party outside the Latitude booth on Friday night. Ostensibly the "Baja Ha-Ha Reunion Party," our bash is really for anyone and everyone — and they all came! Trying to maneuver through the crush was not for the faint of heart but you just never knew who you’d literally be brushing elbow with — Randy Repass, Lin Pardey, Jim Antrim, Olaf Harken, and the kid from one of our most popular covers ever.

And standing sentry in the middle of the crowd was the ‘Hall Monitor’, provided by Hans Bernwall of Scanmar, the offiical windvane sponsor of this fall’s ‘Fabulous Fifteen’ Baja Ha-Ha.

So if you didn’t make it down for the show, you missed a good time — but there’s always next year!
