Armed Guards on FUBAR Boats?

By Richard | September 19, 2011 | Baja, Mexico |

After leaving Oceanside earlier in the month, we spent a few days at Two Harbors in Catalina. What a lot of fun!

While there, we met a lot of people who had done the Ha-Ha or were about to do the Ha-Ha — and were they excited! We also heard a number of reports, none of which we could confirm, that the crew of one FUBAR boat are apparently so frightened about personal safety in Mexico they will be picking up two Mexican armed guards for their trip from Ensenada to La Paz.

Rumor has it that the Poobah is thinking about retaining the services of an AH-64D Longbow Apache crew to escort this year’s Ha-Ha fleet. “The helo’s nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems makes it ideal for Zen sailing to Mexico,” he says.
