Mild Hurricane Season Off Mexico
We’re not knowledgeable enough to know if cooler than normal water temperatures are the cause, but it sure has been a mild hurricane season for Mexico. Consider this: In ’09, there were 8 hurricanes and 12 tropical storms off the coast of Mexico. Most of the hurricanes were powerful, too. Two of them were 5s…
Van Liew Leads Velux 5 Oceans
Three days out from La Rochelle, the lone American entry in the Velux 5 Oceans Race, Brad Van Liew, has already amassed a 50-mile lead over his nearest competitor. As the boats search for the northeasterly trades off the coast of Portugal, Van Liew’s Le Pingouin has taken a hitch out to sea, no doubt…

Piracy in Costa Rica
"October 12 was both exciting and costly for us here in Costa Rica," write Bruce Stevens and Clark Nicholson of the Dana Point-based Gulfstar 50 Two Amigos. "We were anchored off the beach at a resort town of Quepos. About 7:30 p.m., while it was dark and we were below watching a movie, we were…

The Ha-Ha Forecast
It seems that the weather gods just won’t give up on what’s been the worst summer weather along the coast of California since . . . well, probably the beginning of time. Yeah, it’s been great the last couple of days in the Bay Area and today isn’t too bad, but as it’s high time…
Be a Ha-Ha Hero!
Here at Baja Ha-Ha World Headquarters we’re eager to recruit some Ha-Ha heroes for a special mission. No, you won’t have to crawl on your belly across the desert or parachute out of a plane. Nothing so dramatic. We just need to find a few folks who will be traveling to Cabo after November 1…

More on Myths About Mexico
We don’t know what it is about the approach of the Baja Ha-Ha each year that causes some people who aren’t even part of the Ha-Ha to get their knickers so bunched up, but they do. One of this year’s versions seems to be a fellow who, we’re told, is going around the Police Dock…
Summer in the Sea
Wayne and Elly Smith did an unusual thing — they spent the summer exploring the Sea of Cortez aboard Zeppelin. © Elly Smith Who says you can’t successfully cruise the Sea of Cortez in the summer? But "successfully" is much different than "comfortably," as Wayne and Elly Smith of the Vancouver, BC-based Stan Huntingford 47…
