Here is a video of a surge in the Santa Cruz upper harbor, pretty amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MDnlcbRMaQ I got a message from someone that lives on the west coast of Okinawa, he said Santa Cruz got more effect from the tsunami than they did there!

It was a great 2 weeks on the water. There was only one unpleasant event and in retrospect even that was worth going through since we came out alive at the other end :) We left Cat harbor on the Pacific side of Catalina Island to head down to one of our favorite destinations; Santa Barbara...

Hello all Vikings I just had to share some shots of On Porpoise out at yellow banks anchorage on Santa Cruz Island. The week preceding this weekend we knew thaht we had a good weather window for an overnighter at the island. What we werent prepared for was just how nice it was going to be. A...

Thinking about a Santa Barbara Island Visit. I would love to hear from anyone who had done this and share any specifics about what to expect. Such as, approach, hazards, kelp beds, anchoring and getting ashore. My plan is to sail to Cat Harbor from San Pedro. Spend the night at Cat...

Here are a few pics from Forney's Cove at Santa Cruz, weekend before last. It was a bit rolly & very windy. Nice & desolate as we were the only boat there for our 2 nights.:egrin: Keith & Lise E-33 Rocinante

Anybody doing the Santa Barbara to King Harbor Race on August 4? Of course it's Fiesta Week in Santa Barbara so it will be a madhouse.

Don, Did you make it up to Santa Barbara? We motored up Mon. morning and arrived around 12:30pm. Dropped hook in 25', Made sure the boat was settled in and then went ashore to fly kites. The next morning I found a little stowaway in the dinghy, We let him stay until 11:00 then he had to go...

We are planning a sail & visit to the island, leaving the morning of Sunday Aug 7th. Wind & weather permitting, we will stop at Coches Prietos anchorage, on the back side, as a first stop. Then, perhaps on to Forney'a cove. Lastly, on to the front side to either Lady's or Fry's anchorages. We...

Memorial day is coming up ! We assume that Catalina Island (Isthmus harbor etc.) will be swamped with boaters. So, we're thinking that Santa Barbara Island might be an interesting alternative ? We've been there on quite a few dive trips on the Great Escape <http://www.diveboat.com>...

Went out sailing Sunday afternoon and was rail down going out the channel in a cold NW wind - Headed out a few miles and the wind began to fade so we turned around and had a nice reach back, but the wind was still cold - Half-way back down the channel the Santa Ana kicked in - The wind dropped...

I recently bought an E-27. At one time my boat must have been berthed in the inner harbor at Santa Cruz, CA, where boats have to motor under two bridges having a height of 18 feet. The mast is mounted on a tabernacle step and appears to be partially equipped to be lowered while under power. Has...

I am heading out to Santa Cruz Island Saturday for just an overnighter, would love to meet up with some fellow Ericson owners out there.
