What Really Happened to J/World
With the conclusion of the Baja Ha-Ha on Saturday night, the Grand Poobah/Publisher of Latitude 38 finally got some time to review the coverage of the loss of J/World and the Coast Guard’s helicopter rescue of her crew — skipper Eugenie Russell, instructor Barry Demak, and students Raymond Quinn, Mark McKinnon, and Judy Land —…
One for the Record Books
“That wasn’t so hard after all!” For many in the fleet, completing the Ha-Ha is the inaugural step in a new life of cruising. latitude/Richard© Latitude 38 Media, LLC The awards ceremony for Baja Ha-Ha XVI — which was, in several ways, the most exciting ever — was held at Marina Cabo San Lucas on…
Pirate Attack in the Caribbean
While Somali pirates demand $7 million — or the release from custody of seven comrades — for the return of British cruisers Paul and Rachel Chandler, Derek Holden of the Privateer 35 Albatross III reports that well-known Michigan racer Juan Pablo ‘J.P.’ Del Solar Goldsmith was the victim of a pirate attack aboard his Beneteau…
Oil Spill Update
We received a range of responses from Monday’s query about the impact on the Bay from last week’s 800-gallon Dubai Star bunker oil spill, which fouled beaches and wildlife in the East Bay: A containment boom on the Estuary following the oil spill from the Panamanian-flagged tanker Dubai Star a week ago. © Carolyn Samit…

Point Conception Carnage
Point Conception is notorious among coastal sailors. A combination of unusually strong winds and large seas can make rounding the point very difficult. In fact, it’s not at all uncommon for boats to wait days — even weeks — for a good weather window. But some boats don’t wait. "Point Conception has been the sad…
BMW Oracle Racing Drops Rig
What’s wrong with this picture?

Ha-Ha Gets Sweeter by the Leg
Most of the Sweet Sixteen Baja Ha-Ha Fleet is now comfortably anchored in Bahia Santa Maria, after completing an extremely mellow second leg — a distinct contrast to the ultra-rowdy conditions of Leg 1. On Sunday, the morning after a fun-filled Turtle Bay beach party, the fleet crossed the Leg 2 starting line at 11…
‘Dubai Star’ Spilled up to 800 Gallons
Early hopes that Friday morning’s bunker fuel-spill in Anchorage Nine would have little impact on the Bay have turned out to be unfounded. The Coast Guard is estimating that 400 to 800 gallons of the cruddy junk spilled from the Panamanian-flagged tanker Dubai Star during fueling operations. Despite the deployment of over 50,000 feet of…
