Join Our SoCal Ha-Ha Seminars

If you happened to come across the human jumble above, you might be inspired to scream for a lifeguard — unless, of course, you were a veteran of the Baja Ha-Ha rally from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. In that case you’d know that these waterlogged sailors were merely exhibiting their affection during the From Here to Eternity Kissing Contest at the end of the annual Cabo beach party — it’s always hilarious fun.

If you’re in Southern California, you can learn about all aspects of this 750-mile rally at either of our two special seminars next week, which will be sponsored by Ullman Sails:

The first will be Tuesday, May 3, at the Santa Monica Windjammers YC in Marina del Rey (7 p.m.), and the second will be Wednesday, May 4 at the Dana Point YC (also 7 p.m.). Both events are free, but the sponsors request that you RSVP to (714) 432-1860 if you plan to attend.

At both events, Latitude 38’s Managing Editor Andy Turpin — aka the Ha-Ha’s Assistant Poobah — will present a digital slide show that will introduce potential Ha-Ha’ers to all aspects of the two-week event (slated for October 23-November 5 this year).

A question and answer session will follow where Turpin will answer queries about specific event details, and Ullman sailmakers will answer questions about proper preparation for cruising south of the border. Both events promise to be fun, entertaining evenings that will get you revved up to join the PG-rated fun at this world-renowned rally.
