This past Saturday my Grandson and I were sailing our CAL 20 out of San Pedro and we saw an E35 in Hurricane Gulch on its way out through Angels Gate. We followed it for about five miles trying to catch it to say hello but it was a little too fast. Oh well.
Yesterday we were out on my E35 II...
I will be making a passage in my E35 MKII from Channel Islands Harbor to Marina Del Rey Memorial Day Weekend, yes I know... the timing is unavoidable. Any tips, tricks, warnings, thoughts? Anyone made the trip?

Didja see this?
Millions of dead fish at King Harbor in Redondo Beach
Millions of sardines, anchovies and mackerels died overnight in King Harbor. The sea lions and sea birds are gorging themselves. Cleanup is estimate to cost $100,000.
Yuck! Looks like it stinks pretty bad, too.
I and some friends at our yacht club are organizing the 3rd annual Northeast Harbor Race. It is an overnight race from Portland to Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island(Acadia). It starts on Friday, August 27th. Boats usually finish Saturday afternoon. We have nearly a full moon and we...
Sorry some are not such great res. I ended up very light on crew so we did not fly the kite the whole race and did not place so well but we had fun in the 20-25kts of breeze.
The annual NE harbor race is coming up in a little over a month. This is an overnight regatta from Falmouth, Maine to Northeast Harbor, Maine. It is a one way destination regatta. NE harbor is on Mount Desert Island(Acadia National Park) and has lots to do and see. We are hoping to attract...
I'm going to be dropping off crew in Santa Barbara on July 4th, and I just spoke with harbor officials there who said they don't take reservations and that they fill up quickly a day or two before the 4th. My options are anchoring outside the breakwater, or heading Ventura or Oxnard. Of the...
Noticed an E35 (pretty sure) named Windsong from NY this weekend in Wickford Harbor in North Kingstown, RI. Looked like a transient, was wondering if anyone from this board was visiting RI? RT
New to the forum.
And, I'm a newbie sailor (sailed a little, many years ago) and last week bought a sailboat, a 1972 Ericson 29. It's in Channel Islands Harbor, and I eventually need to have it in Marina del Rey or Redondo Beach.
I'll have to find someone to help me (and my sons, one of whom...
Saw a bunch of Ericson's out, in and around LA Harbor on Labor Day.
I saw and shared friendly hello's with a beautifully restored E-23 with blue stripes in Hurricane Gulch. I also saw what looked to be a E-38 yellow stripes at the same time, the name was "Golden", something. Also saw a...

Do any of the Channel Islands Ericson owners have the Lat. Long. for Prisoners anchorage? I intend to do the plotting this evening and I thought I might get a start from someone who has them close at hand.
Thanks

Channel Islands Harbor:egrin:
Just wanted to let all the Puget Sound area sailors know that there's another guy breaking in to sailboats. In this case we got off easy. He ate our food, drank our Diet Snapple, cognac, water and my 12-year-old single malt scotch. Only damage is to our sense of security and the hasp for my...
Tom: The rendezvous at Bedwell is open to all Ericson's. If you are planning on going you should arrive before 2pm as after that they won't hold a slip open. Also Pt. Hudson June 22-24 ( Pacific Seacraft ) and then July 7-8 at Sucia Is. in Echo Bay. This last one is just an outing but everyone...
