Join the Send-Off Parade!
We’re encouraging San Diego sailors to join us for the annual send-off of southbound cruisers who are departing in the Baja Ha-Ha.
- Who: All San Diego Bay Boaters
- When: Monday, November 4, 2024
- Schedule:
9:00 a.m.-9:30 a.m. - South Bay boats pass San Diego en route to Harbor Island.
9:45 a.m. - All boats gather off America's Cup Harbor between Harbor Island and Shelter Island.
10:00 a.m. - America's Cup starting gun from the Sportfishing Association of California launches the Baja Ha-Ha with a parade off the southwest corner of Shelter Island.
11:00 a.m. - Offshore start outside San Diego Bay off of Point Loma Baja.
- Where: View a diagram of the parade route here.
- What: Bring your boat, fly some flags, sound a horn and help give Baja Ha-Ha sailors a royal send-off for their cruise to Mexico.
This is an opportunity to liven up a Monday morning, get other sailors inspired for destinations beyond the horizon and bring some attention to the sailing lifestyle on San Diego Bay. If you can’t get your boat out, drive out to the west end of Shelter Island with your air horn, bagpipes, Sousaphone, glockenspiel or vuvuzela.
