Photos from Baja Ha Ha rally (San Diego to Cabo)

The Baja Ha Ha is a 10 day rally from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas.  There were about 140 boats that completed the 750 mile ‘course’ to the Cape.  The rally is sponsored by Latitude 38 magazine and this was the 21st year.  While out at sea, boats keep in contact through twice-a-day nets on VHF and SSB radio to report positions.  VHF was also used to report fish catch, wind and sea state, or just to say hello to a nearby boat at 3am.  There were 2 stops along the way–a remote village in Bahia des Tortugas (Turtle Bay), and a quiet bay in Bahia Santa Maria.  A fun beach party potluck was held at Turtle Bay with lots of fresh fish caught along the way adobe cc master collection for mac pouvez trouver sur cette page.  At Bahia Santa Maria, they brought in a small band that played rock and roll during the party.  Some cruisers relaxed on the beach while others hiked in the rocky hills.  The  comraderie of the fleet was amazing and we got to know the crew from other boats, especially “kid” boats.  We also kept in contact with other Seattle boats including Mabrouka, Andante, Friday, Abby Normal (the same boats that left with the Cojo Ho Ho with us from Anacortes).

Here are some pictures we took along the way….
