Off to Avalon. Leaving Sept. 4th. May stay until the 7th. If any ones in the area keep an eye out for the "Pride Of Cucamonga". Stop and say hello! If there's no room for us at Avalon we may change our plans and go to the Isthmus. Beam Winds! -Jeff :egrin:

My "first crossing" I will be sailing to Avalon for the first time. I will be leaving from Dana Point on Friday (10/19/07) around 9am. The plan is spend the weekend in Avalon because of the Jazz Festival. Returning on Sunday. I am hoping to get a mooring. Do you think this will be a...

Off to Avalon for the long Thanksgiving weekend. I should arrive at Avalon by dusk on the 22nd. I may go to other points on Catalina as well. So any So Cal Ericson owners feel free to stop and say hi if you see "The Pride Of Cucamonga" at the Island. Have a Great Holiday! Remember how those...

I've had it with mooring in Avalon. It seems to me that over the past 10 years I have been turned down 50% of the time because the inner and outer harbors are "full". What has your experience been? Now that Isthmus Cove has summer shore-boat service I think all of my future trips will be...

I visited Avalon for the first time last week. I sailed out by myself on Wednesday the 12th, and it was the best sail ever. First time I've crossed the channel by myself, too. Valinor was on rails. I hardly had to touch the wheel, but for the occasional persistent lift or header. Hull speed...

Uff Da (E32) is heading over to Catalina on Saturday, April 29th and returning on Sunday, May 1st. We normally go over on Friday but, alas, some of my crew have to work on Friday (an ugly 4 letter word). Our preference at this time of year is Avalon but I'm concerned about the availability of...

Ericson's were well represented at Avalon for Easter. I ran into Jeanne and Karen with their beautiful 1989 E-38, "Smooth Operator". I also met up with another E-27 out of Long Beach who arrived at midnight on Saturday. Can't remember the name of the Skipper, but his girl friend Julie Maul...

Avalon for Easter Weekend? I am considering going to Avalon for Easter weekend before the Summer Crowds show up. I would probably head over on the morning of Thursday the 13th and sail back in the afternoon on Easter Sunday the 16th. Any one else thinking the same way?:clap:

Does anyone know what the mooring situation is this time of year? Is it starting to get crowded again, or is it pretty easy? We're thinking of St. Patricks day.
