Baja Haha 2007

Snowgoose sailing with spinnaker on the 2007 Baja Haha

Snowgoose sailing with spinnaker on the 2007 Baja Haha

by Greg : Much like the sailor tails of yore, I found myself shanghied on a sailboat in a foreign land. This is my story.

More Photos

It all started at the Baja Haha party in San Diego, which takes place the day before the start of the Baja Haha sailing rally to Cabo San Lucas. I had done the Haha twice already, once on my own boat 'Scirocco' in 2001, where I met my girlfriend Cherie and several other great friends like Rennie and Anne. I had done it a second time in 2003 aboard Rennie and Anne's 'Cassiopeia'. Because we all had several friends who were doing the Haha this year the four of us decided to drop into the party and say our goodbyes to those leaving for Mexico. Rennie, a retired United captain, ran into a friend of his, another united captain named Mike. All but one of Mike's crew canceled at the last minute and so he was going to do the Haha very short handed. There was free beer there, and after several of them I decided to volenteer to crew with Mike so he'd have enough crew to have a comfortable trip south.

From California to Wisconson, 1700 miles in an experimental aircraft
@ Features     Oct 02 2007 - 16:31 PST
by Greg : In late July I flew my Long-EZ, a homebuilt experimental aircraft, from California to Wisconson to spend a week with friends at a lake house and to briefly attend the Oshkosh EAA airshow. The journey was 1700 miles and took me over some of the most inhospitable terrain in the country.

The Stratofox team at Minden

by Greg : As I’m sure most of you know adventurer and record-breaker Steve Fossett went missing on a flight in western Nevada on Labor Day. A group I’m involved in tracks ameture rocket and balloon launches, primarily via ham radio. Several of the folks on the groups mailing list expressed interest in helping for the search for Fossett whatever way was possible, and so Thursday night we met and made plans to go out to Nevada and try to do some searching ourselves.
