10/24/09 wE ARE SITTING AT SLIP B-98 IN SUN HARBOR MARINA AT SAN DIEGO. THE BAJA HAHA STARTS ON MONDAY 10/26 AND WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR THREE WEEKS PREPARING THE BOAT FOR OUR TRIP DOWN SOUTH TO MANANALAND.
THE HAHA IS A RALLY FOR BOATS FROM SAN DIEGO TO CABO SAN LUCAS. THIS WILL BE THE SIXTEENTH HAHA AND THERE ARE OVER 190 BOATS SIGNED UP. WE WERE NOT INTERESTED IN THE HAHA AT FIRST AS WE DID NOT WISH TO TRAVEL IN A HERD. BUT, AFTER TALKING TO SOME CRUSIERS THAT HAD DONE PRVIOUS HAHAS, WE DECIDED TO JOIN THE RALLY TO MAKE CONTACT WITH OTHER CRUISERS WHO MAY BE CROSSING THE PACIFIC WITH US.
THE BOATING COMMUNITY HERE IN SAN DIEGO IS VERY SUPPORTIVE. WE HAVE BEEN OFFERED CARS MANY TIMES--ALTHOUGH WE HAVE RIDDEN OUR FOLDING BIKES EVERYWHERE! THERE HAVE BEEN GREAT SEMINARS FOR THE CRUISERES AND DISCOUNTS AT THE WEST MARINE STORE. YESTERDAY WE RODE OUR BIKES DOWN TO THE MAIN DOCKS AT DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO. WE SPENT HOURS TOURING THE USS MIDWAY-- A RETIRED AIRCRAFT CARRIER THAT IS NOW A MUSEUM. IT WAS A MUST SEE EXPERIENCE.
TOMORROW IS THE SEND OFF PARTY AT WEST MARINE FOR THE HAHAERS. IT IS A COSTUME PARTY AND I WILL BE A PIRATE (ONE OF MANY, I AM SURE) AND SHERRY WILL BE MY WENCH. WE ARE GLAD WE CAME TO SAN DIEGO EARLY AS WE HAVE HAD FUN. THE NEXT ENTRY IN THE BLOG WILL BE WHEN WE ARE ON OUR WAY!!
