trip

My first trip in my 1990 E28 will be a 7 - 10 day sail home with it. I want to make sure that I am checking any items that should be looked at before I depart, and that I have any spare parts that are prone to failure. My main concerns are with any of the mechanical systems on board. So far I...

I live in Ventura, near the lovely Channel Islands. I took my rehabilitated E26 on it's first weekender. Awesome.:egrin: Let's see if this attachment thingy works It does ! so here is another shot or two. Lessons learned-- *Rocker stoppers ! * be nice to have a blow up kayak...

Headed out Saturday for Anacapa. Weather was perfect. Got there in just over 4 hours. Weighed anchor and had lunch... then did some costal sailing / exploring... had a great time! Heading back only took 3 hours, dodging container ships in the shipping lanes, Bit more wind on the return...

A couple of weeks ago my Brother, Son and two Grandsons and I made our first trip to the Isthmas at Two Harbors, Catalina Island. We were able to sail over taking a little over four hours. The seas were choppy and made for a semi-unpleasant ride. About a mile out we lowered the sails so we could...

Hello All Southern California Ericson Sailors-- I'm planning to make a six week trip from the SF Bay to Catalina and back next summer, leaving late June. My plan is to put a crew together, harbor hop down to Santa Barbarba, visit the Channel Islands, then meet my wife and two small daughters...

It looks like I will be crewing a delivery from Lake Union down to Olympia. We have two days to git'r'done, Nov 10/11. Anything special we need to consider? I realize that we may lose some time locking thru. My first look at the current table looks like some adverse flow at the Narrows...

Hi all i stumbled across this in a search an think many might get some enjoyment from reading. www.ussmaverick.net/about.html

I know this forum isn't hopping with activity, but I thought I'd try a post anyway. I'm thinking of taking a trip to the Delta in late June. Does anyone have destination tips? Or a must-have guidebook?

I haven't used my E27 much this season, as I bought a small RV and have been traveling around in it. Much easier to solo in it than the boat. :) I did manage to add 2 trips over the last couple of weeks. The first only 25 nm (round trip) from my Dana Point homeport to Newport Beach. I had...

Hello, My wife and I are starting to make plans to fly (Airplane) down from Spokane, Wa to Aliso Viejo sometime this winter for a visit with my brother. Any recommendations for a day-charter? Seems only prudent to go for a sail since we will be close to salt water in comfortable weather...

Hey, have any of you folks been down to see the construction on the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge? Wow! It's pretty cool from the road, but you should see it from the water side! It is a once in a lifetime sight! Harold

If you might be interested in crewing on a trip from the Bay Area to San Pedro, look for the "Looking for Offshore Passage Experience?" thread on the "Cruising and Racing" section.

http://www.gigharboryc.com/races/JAM%20Vic-Maui/Vic-Maui%203.htm On my early morning journey around the 'net search engines... I found this nice site with photos and even a short 10-knot video of a race to HA on a big boat. So it's not an Ericson or an Olson... but still nicely done and it...

Hey Vikings: Yours truly just returned from a biz trip which included a few days in Seattle-with an overnight with friends on Bainbridge Island. I have forgotten just how beautiful the PNW is, and how great the sailing is..there seem to be several old maxi-IOR boats (the old Obsession, a SC...

It sure was great to meet so many Ericson owners at the raft-up last wknd! One thing I was asking people about was if a group wanted to go down to Half Moon Bay sometime soon. I think there was some interest... How about sometime in September. I think the only weekend that might NOT work is...

Hello everyone. Thought you might be interested in a trip I attempted with my 1987 E-34 up CA coast from San Diego to San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. No problems in socal and Catalina was great! Had a sailing buddy lined up to meet me in Santa Barbara to head north to SF. On the day we were...

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.
