38's 63-foot cat Profligate will participate, as will Volker Dolich's Marquesas 56 La Dolce Vita, and several Gemini cats have expressed interest. The folks at the Baja Ha-Ha report that requests for entry packs have been coming in at a steady pace. In fact, they've received 21 requests for packets in just over a week. Anyone interested in doing this fall's Ha-Ha Cruisers' Rally from San Diego to Cabo needs to get an entry pack. Shortly after June 1, you'll receive a complete entry pack.
Entries get all kinds of souvenir hats, T-shirts, tote bags and such.
Don't try to call the Ha-Ha, as they don't have a phone. Tuesday we reported on Blair and Joan Grinols' adventures on Fanning Island. We covered the 3,300 miles in 18.5 days, an average of 178 miles a day. We were a little gun shy, dropping the chute whenever we saw a black cloud, so we didn't cross as fast as we might have. It was just 87 degrees in the cabin, but out in the sun it felt like it was 100 degrees.
