Ha-Ha Update
From the Grand Poobah himself, here is some important info relating to the Ha-Ha: 1) Offshore flow is returning to SoCal and the air quality is much better. In any event, the conditions on the waterfront are nowhere nearly as bad as they were in 2003. "You can even see the stars at night," announced…
Pindar Open 60 Dismasted
Brian Thompson’s Pindar 60 was dismasted in mild conditions last night on its way to La Havre, France, for the start of the doublehanded Transat Jacques Vabré. The race, which starts in just eight days, runs non-stop from France to Brazil. Thankfully no one was hurt in the incident but, with so little time to…
Coasties Rescue Two from Passing Wind II
The two crew aboard the 38-ft sailboat Passing Wind II were rescued by the Coast Guard yesterday after they were dismasted about 40 miles off Pt. San Pedro. The Coasties received an EPIRB alert around 10:15 a.m. and immediately dispatched a helo and plane. They spotted the disabled boat being tossed around in 10-12-ft seas…
Is There More Crime in La Paz?
Every year about this time, we get a letter or two from people in Mexico, almost always in La Paz, with some ominious-sounding news for cruisers about to head down. This month we got one from the skipper of Callisto. Because there are a number of Callistos, and because the letter wasn’t signed by the…
Sailing in Santa Anas
"We left San Diego on October 21 for points south and La Paz," writes David Addleman and Heather Corsaro, who are doublehanding their Monterey-based Cal 36 Eupsychia. "Santa Ana winds had been forecast, but once past the Coronado Islands, we got hit by what must have been a chubasco. There was smoke, dust, and a…
Ha-Ha Changes Due to Fires in San Diego
The devastating fires in Southern California have left hundreds of thousands of people seeking shelter, and those with boats have moved aboard them. As such, Cabrillo Isle Marina, which has been the site of all Ha-Ha Kick-Off Parties to date, has requested that we seek another party site. Fortunately, West Marine, which has a big…
Hell Freezes Over
Yes, it seems that hell has frozen over, because the State of Hawaii, after all these decades, is actually taking a baby step to improve things in one part of the woefully rundown 747-berth Ala Wai Yacht Harbor in Honolulu. The old F Dock, a hand-me-down from the Waikiki YC, as seen in July with…
Photo of the Day: Grace Quan
Today’s Photo of the Day is of the rustic and lovely Grace Quan. While Grace looks as old and salty as the sea itself, the 42-ft replica of a traditional Chinese shrimping junk was actually launched in 2003 at China Camp State Park. One of the most eye-catching boats on the Bay, Grace lives half…
Spithill and Coutts Racing on the Bay
If you were out on the Bay this weekend, you might have noticed two BMW Oracle Swedish Match Racing Boats out sailing, looking as if they were practicing match racing starts. We couldn’t help but notice that James Spithill, helmsman of Luna Rossa in the last America’s Cup, was at the helm of one boat,…
Strong Winds Off Northern Coast of Baja
"We tried to sail from Ensenada to San Diego yesterday, and ran into 40-50 mph easterly winds off of Bajamar about 11 a.m., and had to turn back," reports John Howard. "It was a bit much for my 30-year-old Hunter 30! I made it back to Ensenada safely, although it took us about two hours…
