Oceanside YC Welcomes Southbounders

As you read this, dozens of cruising boats are working their way down the coast toward San Diego, the starting venue for the 18th annual Baja Ha-Ha cruisers rally to Cabo San Lucas. As always, entrants will have a wide variety of stopover options along the way. But this year we think a lot of Ha-Ha skippers will be setting their sights on Oceanside.

Why? Because the Oceanside YC has gone to great lengths to organize the first-ever OYC Pre-Ha-Ha Rendezvous from Friday, September 30 through Sunday, October 2. While this is not an official Ha-Ha event, the Rally Committee thinks it sounds like one heck of a deal. For $95, registered entrants will get three nights ‘preferred’ berthing at the club, a comp dinner for both skipper and first mate at Saturday night’s Baja Bash, free shuttle rides to West Marine and Smart & Final, free swag, and a Boarding Pass that will get them discounts at most harbor vendors, including hotels, restaurants and even last-minute haul-outs. There will also be nightly slide/talk seminars by veteran Ha-Ha’ers — of which the club has many.
