Harbor Island West Marina Sends Off Ha-Ha Participants Prior to Rebuild

Some people think it’s impossible to build anything in California. Harbor Island Marina in San Diego will tell you otherwise. They’ve been a regular advertiser in Latitude 38, a dedicated sponsor of the Baja Ha-Ha, and an annual participant in Summer Sailstice. They’ve also been working steadily to do the planning and permitting to rebuild the 50-year-old marina. Harbormaster Eric Leslie says they’re now ready to begin.

The new marina will have 623 upgraded slips and services, and also upgraded shoreside buildings and services.

As the 31st annual Baja Ha-Ha fleet left the Bay, Harbor Island West was getting ready to begin construction. Eric Leslie wrote in to give a bigger view of the project, which you can see in Business News here.

Congratulations to Eric and team for their success in getting the new project launched. Future sailors, Ha-Ha participants and Summer Sailstice sailors will look forward to launching from your new docks.
