Made my reservation After missing too many years, Fairhaven and crew will be attending Rendezvous in June. Looking forward to catching up with all.:cheers: Cheers Stuart

Hi Glyn, :egrin: Hi Glyn We will be attending the Ericson Rendezvous in Maple Bay this June. Will I see you and your child bride there? We have moved to Comox on Vancouver Island but I still go back to North Van, what do you need? Cheers Stuart

Sailing an independence We purchased our Independence in about 2004, we sailed out of Vancouver BC then and now sail out of Comox BC. We have sailed in 30 knots + down to less than two knots. On the less than days it is more like drifting aimlessly around following the currents we have here...

small problem Hi All This year would be a great year to have attend the rendezvous, we are finally getting organized with our move to Comox and had planned to head to Victoria sailing this summer. I have attached a photo I discovered when I took my cover off yesterday. I won’t be sailing...

Congrats!!!! Hi Mike Wow, what a beauty, you have taken two foot ides’ to a new level! Hope we see you and Lynn out cruising, a closer look at the fine new vessel and catch up on stuff. Cheers Stuart

2009 Hi All I am sorry to miss this event, the group I sail with annually in a regatta, (last year we sailed in Denmark) are sailing in BC waters this year, the dates are June 6th to 13th.A bit of a conflict with the rendezvous for me unfortunately! However I am sure you will all have a good...

if you folks head to Comox, I have a mooring out in front of the house, stop in for a beer, or in Grahams case, beer'sssss! Cheers Stuart now in Comox

rendezvous Hi All I have been thinking about the rendezvous quite a bit for this year, wondering…….waiting to find out about our cousins daughter’s wedding and of course finalizing the dates and location of the race I now do each year. Well, unfortunately a conflict occurs on both counts. The...

Victoria...a thought So as I see it, if we want to go to Victoria we need to put 400.00 down to reserve slips. And then pay over and above that for slips when we get there. So it might cost us 10.00 to 20.00 more per boat to do this. Given what owing a sailboat costs per year, twenty more is...

2008 stuff HI All I think Shaun is correct in that we did discuss alternating north and south each year. I think with Port Townsend, the crossing is long but our first time there we did have good Canadian support. Having said that: if we had not just returned from Greece and moved our home...

legless Hi Loren Nice table, I have been wondering how to loose the leg on ours, now I know. Next winters project. I might even add a fold down counter in the galley at the same time. Thanks for posting. Cheers Stuart SV Fairhaven Comox BC

2008 rendezvous This sounds pretty cool, the cost for moorage is good and the harbor is a wonderful spot, we sat there for several days trying to get to Sooke, not too hard to take, great area with lot to do for all. As a side thought we could pick up any fly ins in Sidney (Anacortes to...

house or tender Hi Ted We are very happy with the house, outside the fact we will be doing a significant renovation/update to it over the next several years. It was the dingy I did not want to sell to anyone I know. Having said that, the dingy is for sale. On a side note it was great this...

2008 Rendezvous/Regatta??????? Hi All Another thought, completely different……..a rendezvous regatta I attend an annual regatta in a different part or the world each year, we charter breakable bendy toys or the equivalent modern production yacht and race them. For us it’s a week all about...
