Next year at Anacortes Sorry we missed but Sophie the cat couldn't handle the Strait on Friday or Saturday. We finally made it on Sunday, so glad Second Star and Mischief Maker were still there. Next year we'll leave home a week early to accomodate seasick felines.

Hoping to be there Just made reservations and looking forward to seeing everyone again. Mike, Ruth (and probably Sophie)

Regrets We are so sorry we can't be there this year. I (Ruth) had a hip replacement in mid April and that's along trip for us since we are in Port Moody,BC. Last winter Mike had to replace the motor, a long story since he started to do a partial recondition only to find that the block was...

New engine Just bought a Betamarine 20hp, about $9K. Retirement 75 now. Dropped it in on Friday, got it lined up but my back, knees and hands can't drill the new holes and finish that job. I hired to finish that and get it back in the water. Will do the electrical etc etc in the next few...

God knows what the original was. The one that died was a 22hp kubota.

We have an Ericson 30-2 that now has a cracked engine block. Looking for a 3 cylinder fresh water cooled diesel with transmission and control panel. Located in Vancouver BC.

We'll be calling the marina tomorrow to book a spot. Last year was great, really looking forward to another rendezvous. Thanks Helga and Joe. Mike and Ruth Positive Results

Maple Bay We are looking forward to a rendezvous at Maple Bay. The people who were interested in organizing it were Helga and Joe on InSync. We were just wondering if anything had developed further with this. We had also discussed moving the date away from the July1 and July 4 holidays, can't...

Who went? Nordic Pearl from Brentwood Bay, Gloria Jean from Olympia, Positive Results from Vancouver BC, and two other boats from Esquimault, Chas and Judi, and John and Lynn (not sure of the boat names). Saturday afternoon we all gathered on Gloria Jean. I guess we assumed anyone who was...

Some of us took a leap of faith that there would BE a rendezvous and went to Sidney Spit. Thank you to Jim and Gloria for their hospitality on their beautiful boat and for rounding us up in the bay. Thanks to Andrew and Melanie for their visits also. It was great meeting everyone. This was our...

NW Rendezvous 2012 who when what I 'm also assuming July 7-8 at Sidney Spit. This is my first rendezvous and I'm wondering what to expect. Do we anchor out, raft up or is there moorage anywhere? North Saanich? Is anyone organizing this?

30-2 Positive Results Moored in Vancouver, wheel steering, in 5th year of ownership. If it ever warms up and stops raining this year, cruising beautiful B.C. waters.

Deja vu Your pictures looked awfully familiar. I have a 30-2 Ericson that was on the hard for 4 years with no weather boards in and missing one window. I shoveled it out and pressure washed it inside and out. I had it surveyed and found that the hull, sails, and standing rigging were sound. I...

Rendezvous lives! Glad to see life in this thread again. We are planning to attend from Vancouver, (newish members Positive Results and 7 1/2 %). Is anyone taking on organizing? Chas and Judy? Can we get moorage in Saanich? If people are planning on driving to the rendezvous, is Sydney Spit...

30-2 We also have a 30-2. Lots of work. Looking to share ideas. Mike H
