because they thought it was just a big drunken party the whole way to Cabo. This always surprises us, as the Ha-Ha could hardly be a more 'PG' event. But we're pretty sure we know where the 'drunken party' myth started. Two words: Squid Roe. Ha-Ha organizers encourage everyone to save up their latent maniacal tendencies for the Squid Roe nightclub in Cabo, where 'R'-rated fun is not only tolerated, but encouraged. Like the days of old when sailormen returned to land after long voyages, when the Ha-Ha fleet ‘invades’ Cabo and hits Squid Roe that first night, anything can happen.
