I accidentally found that you can control the webcam at the Isthmus, not just to the preset locations.
On the Mac (and probably other OSs) if you first click on the image ...
- Command zooms you out
- Shift zooms you in
- Left and right arrow keys do their thing.
FWIW.

I just checked the Two Harbors camera and there is one single sailboat west of the pier, I don't see any other boats at all.
We had one other boat most of the time in 4th of July Cove between Tuesday night and Saturday morning. There was a third boat for one night. Cherry had 3 or 4...
Planing on sailing to the Isthmus on Great Thursday, April 21st, day before Good Friday, because it is bad luck to depart on a Friday. May only stay until Saturday the 23rd. My Boss said good weather is guaranteed. I am hoping the wild flower blooms will attract the Easter Bunny.
:unsure...
Since we didn't get to go for Thanksgiving we're planning to go this weekend. Heading over Friday morning and coming back Sunday. Not sure which cove we'll head for but doubt it will be crowded :egrin:
Anyone else ?
-Sven
... but we did run into Marilyn and Frank.
Marilyn was supposed to join us for an impromptu pot luck but decided to throw Frank overboard so he got all wet. Maybe next time you'll come out too instead of going to the dogs ? :egrin:

The name Indecent Proposal has an uncannily familiar ring to it too. I'm sure I've heard it or seen it more than one.

Well I am finally going to try to get back to the Island. Heading over to the Isthmus on Thursday July 22nd, I may only stay until Saturday the 24th we'll see. I am prepared for possible crowds, so I may end up at Howlands or Emerald. If any of you are over there then you can try hailing The...
We'll be going Friday through Monday.
Sam mentioned that he might be heading over, or maybe to Avalon instead.
Looks like it will be sunny but cool (by SoCal standards). 40-42 degrees is cold when you don't have a heater :egrin:
-Sven
The weather messed up the MLK weekend plans for the Isthmus, but we're hoping to head out this coming Friday morning, coming back on Sunday.
Anybody else ?
-Sven
That's the plan,
We drive down to Senta II tomorrow night and head out Friday morning.
Hope for post-labor-day quiet, or semblance of quiet :egrin:
Back to Cabrillo on Sunday.
-Sven
We'll be heading over on Wednesday and I'd like to get a feel for what we should expect wind direction wise ?
It looks as if the wind is typically right on the nose (from the SW ?) as you leave Angeles Gate so we'd start out with a tack south ? Does the wind turn more W as you get out towards...
We did talk ourselves into Santa Barbara Island but La Petite decided to punish us for our lack of attention. The outboard would only run with the choke partially pulled out (a clogged jet due to gas gone bad) so we decided to head closer to home instead of SBI. We ended up powering all the...
I will be a the Isthmus (Two Harbors) from Friday Oct 20th through Sunday Oct 23rd. Stop by and visit if you see this boat. Probably the only E-27 with a radar mast on the stern you will see there.
Cheers:cheers:
Assuming the weather doesn't get really bad, we plan to head out somewhere on Friday and return back on Tuesday, taking one vacation day at each end of the 3-day weekend.
We haven't yet decided where we're going, but it will probably either be the Isthmus or SBI, or both.

At least that's the plan.
Hope to take some extra days off, head out Wednesday AM, before TG, and return the following Monday. That's assuming the weather cooperates.
We might also go back to Santa Barbara Island, from the Isthmus, but we'll play that by ear.
Is anyone else heading out...
After a bit too long on land, Nancy and I decided to head to Isthmus on the spur of the moment, Friday morning.
Nice sail half-way there and all the way back. Wonderful and useless stay while we were there.
A first for us, even the stringline was filled up by Friday evening !
A...
Are any So. Cal Ericson owners going to be at the Isthmus (Two Harbors) the weekend of May 6th through the 8th? I will be there, hopefully without rain and having to dodge any water spouts. :egrin:
Gathering of the So. Cal. Vikings at Two Harbors (Isthmus) on Catalina Island.
There has been a considerable amount of discussion about a Gathering of Ericson Owners under the post: "So. Cal. Sailors where are they". I have sort of taken the helm to try to organize a gathering at Two Harbors...
We're hoping to cross from MDR to one of the two Catalina isthmus harbours this Saturday, 6-12. Since we'll be rushed we'll probably set out early on Saturday, under power until the prevailing winds appear. We'll be heading back on Sunday ... unavoidable.
Any other Ericsons on this board...
YOU MISSED A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!
