Skippers/Crews to Mingle at Encinal YC

By Andy Turpin | October 1, 2007 | Alameda, CA |

Looking for a ride to Mexico? If so, you’ll want to mark your calendar with a big red Sharpie: The Latitude 38 Mexico-Only Crew List Party will be held this Wednesday, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the Encinal YC in Alameda.

A good way to ‘show whatcha got’. Previous Ha-Ha party attendees wear their resumes…literally!

If recent years are any indicator, there should be several hundred sailors in attendance, some looking for a ride to sunnier latitudes and others hoping to find reliable crew for their imminent departures. Having minimal experience isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, as some skippers would rather sign on an eager neophyte than a seasoned know-it-all.

If you really had to use one, you might not see so many smiles. Here party-ers help Sal’s Inflatables (from the East Bay) perform a demonstration.

The event also serves as a Pre-Kickoff Party for this year’s Baja Ha-Ha cruisers rally. Registered Ha-Ha skippers and first mates get in free. All others pay $7 at the door. Cash bar, but muchies will be provided.
