A RECORD-<br />
BREAKING RALLY<br />
As you may have read in<br />
Sightings, more boats are entered<br />
in this year's r<strong>all</strong>y than ever before.<br />
Along with the increased<br />
numbers, the event will have some<br />
exciting new features. For the first<br />
time ever, fleet members will parade<br />
past the western tip of Shelter<br />
Island at 10 a.m. <strong>October</strong> 26, on<br />
their way out to the 11 a.m. start.<br />
A fireboat will salute them with a<br />
shower of spray, and a variety of TV<br />
and print reporters will be on hand<br />
to capture the excitement.<br />
If you're new to the event, let us<br />
explain that the Ha-Ha is a 750-mile<br />
cruisers’ r<strong>all</strong>y from San Diego to<br />
Cabo San Lucas, with stops along<br />
the way at Turtle Bay and Bahia<br />
Santa Maria.<br />
You'll find frequent updates on<br />
this year's event, in addition to <strong>all</strong><br />
