Baja Power Yacht Rally to Finish in La Paz at CostaBaja Resort & Marina

 


The first-ever powerboat rally from San Diego to La Paz Mexico, FUBAR ODYSSEY 2007, is gearing up for a November 7th departure. Planned by Del Rey Yacht Club in partnership with Mexico's Tourism Board and intended to provide a supportive and fun environment to introduce powerboat owners to the enjoyment of cruising in Mexico, this extraordinary rally has 60 yachts signed up to make the trip; additional yachts had to be turned away because the organizers set the limit at 60.

Participants in the rally will be escorted by vessels manned by experienced skippers and with the key support people aboard such as mechanics, doctors, paramedics and boat manufacturers and by the makers of major marine engines, electronics and equipment. Also on hand will be the exciting 86-foot Cadenza, the first diesel electric American yacht built by a production builder.

Safe routes will be pre-planned, and a weather routing service has signed on to oversee the entire trip. Stops along the way include Ensenada for fueling at optimum prices and clearing into Mexico, Turtle Bay for re-fueling, Santa Maria, Magdalena Bay, Cabo San Jose, Muertos Bay, and ending in La Paz.

The finish line will include a closing ceremony and festive party at Marina CostaBaja, one of the major sponsors of FUBAR ODYSSEY 2007. Due north of the north end of La Paz Channel, the new Marina CostaBaja, part of CostaBaja Resort & Marina, is the nearest one to the Sea of Cortez and has quickly earned the reputation as the best on the West Coast.

The Sea of Cortez, which Jacques Cousteau called "The Aquarium of the World," features superlative cruising, deep-water fishing and abundant water sports. The neighboring islands of Isla Espiritu Santo, and the adjacent Isla Partida and Los Isoltes, are designated World Heritage Sites and offer many interesting anchorages and access to pristine white sand beaches.

La Paz, a charming authentic Mexican town, is just fifteen minutes away by the free shuttle provided to marina and hotel guests. The capital of Baja California Sur, La Paz is also a vibrant city with such advantages as Internet cafes, hospitals, universities, theaters and a shopping mall (with Domino's, Blockbusters

and a 15-screen cinema showing the latest American films) plus the unique cultural presence of museums, two performing arts theaters and an arts center.
