Nice shot of an Ericson on the Columbia River

My sister spied this beauty on the Columbia River this weekend...I thought it might be someone from the forum:

Nice picture, I'll have to save that one. It's a 1973 Ericson 32-2 named Cepheron, we're sailing with a group including 2 Ericson/Olson 34's(not Lorens) and a J35. This picture we're trying to stay ahead of one of E/O34 that had there Asymm up, they gave us a mile head start, it was a 17 mile run they finally caught us with 500 yards to go. Today we'll be leaving Astoria and heading back up river with many stops along the way.
Cheers, Pat O'Bryant
E32-2 Cepheron

Pat, I'm glad that you saw the image. I'll tell my sister that I found you - I don't think she quite believes how we Ericson folks stick together.

I found this fanciful little illustration that resembles - well, slightly, kind of - the last NW Ericson Rendezvous that I and Pat attended in Canada. There was a pot luck under the big picnic shelter at Maple Bay marina.
I do not recall how many attendees had on helmets with horns on 'em.
Too much mead, perhaps?

I’d like to join you all next time. Not sail up, of course - perhaps just visit my sister on a corresponding weekend.
