BAHIA SANTA MARIA, THE SECOND STOP OF
THE BAJA HA-HA, IS USUALLY THE FLEET FAVORITE
About 175 miles north of Cabo, it’s where the ocean, desert, mangroves, hills and sand dunes meet in spectacular fashion.
And except for a few small fishing shacks, it’s uninhabited.
There is hill climbing, beach combing, boogie boarding, surfing, and . . .
. . . for one afternoon a year, it becomes the surreal site of the Ha-Ha rock ’n roll dance party.
The live band travels eight hours each way, via hundreds of miles of dusty roads and two crazy ferries across Baja’s longest inland waterway, to play for tips.
The fishermen’s wives prepare lunch and Victor makes sure there is plenty of ice cold beer.
It’s as surreal as anything Dali created. Ask anyone who has been there for one.
Sign-ups for Baja Ha-Ha XXVII, which leaves San Diego on November 1, begins at noon on Thursday May 6, which is just three days away. Why sign up right away? It means you’ll be higher on the list for a berth in Cabo San Lucas.
Go to www.baja-haha.com for the Notice of Rally and to sign up on Thursday.
Do the Ha-Ha like 10,000 others have done before you, and be part of Baja legend.
