2022 Ericson PNW Rendezvous, Genoa Bay July 22-24

[Shannon & Doran Jones]

Hi everyone! Looks like the weekend is shaping up and we have a guest speaker on lithium battery upgrades! Thanks @hjohnson

I’m currently out sailing in the Gulf Islands. Incredible cruising grounds. Can’t wait to meet everyone. Thanks to @southofvictor for answering questions.

For the first time in four rather disastrous years I had really hoped to attend. Alas this year is not better. My thoughts will be with you.

Sorry to miss you this year but we’ll look forward to catching you down the road

Hello everyone! So happy I opened the website in time to find this. I liveaboard my E28+ just around the corner in Maple Bay and it would be lovely to pop by either on foot or under sail to meet you all.

Is there anything we can bring?

Excellent Melissa, great to hear you can join us! Could you bring a second app? We have one coming from Virginia on Swallow but a second would be good. Thanks!

We have had a summer of accumulating major events and circumstances that (finally) will preclude our taking the boat up the WA coast. There is still a small chance that we might drive up and attend by land, but a little searching seems to show that most nearby lodging is booked up months in advance.
As a comforting old saying goes: "This too shall pass".

Loren, there are lots of small B&Bs in the area, and even Victoria, Sidney and Nanaimo are only maybe an hour or less from Genoa Bay. It would be great to have you join us again!

Melissa,
It's always more fun to have the boats there too, making it easier to visit, compare projects, etc. You mention wanting to sell yours next spring to buy a larger one--this rendezvous would be a good place to show her!

Just bought my E30+ and gearing her up for cruising next summer while I have use of a slip in Bellingham. I’ll be up for Friday and Saturday having found a hotel in Duncan. Will bring my SUP and golf clubs…. And lots of questions for Frank and Y’all.

Congrats on buying your E30+. We have owned ours for 16 years, and still love it. They are great boats!
Glad you can join the rendezvous!

So just a question... Does anyone have a projector or TV I could use? I'd like to show some pictures/schematics and the like

Yup! I can bring a projector. I will check if there is a spot where we can set it up

Thanks for posting those pics guys, excited to get up there!

That's great!!
Are you by chance the Ericson boat that chatted briefly with me in North Cove by Thetis Island a few days ago?
