I think I counted over 10 and I was not looking that hard....
Anyone interested in having a rendezvous somewhere in the late summer, or early fall.
Aiki made it off the dock after 16 months of work yesterday....
Everything went beyond wonderful! Exceed all expectations on the new rigging, (and as many of you know I am a rigger and had very high expectations!). We even had the admiral Melissa smiling at a spinnaker set coming down the estuary!

Congratulations !
This is the first shakedown since you started the complete refit, right ?

Guy,
Congrats .. I had a long year re-fit myself and know the feeling(s). We were one of the Ericson's out Sunday. Sailing back to Pt. Richmond after some breezy sailing Saturday in the slot and a great time in the city :egrin:
I'm up for a get together this summer / fall. That would be good times
Regards, Greg

Yes this was the first sail since the complete refit.
I didn't get any photos, should have, but I was worried about tuning the rig, and how everything was going to work out. It all went very smoothly. I should have switched to camera mode, instead I stood on the deck with a smile that was attracting bugs and relaxed for the first time in a long long time.
I am going to start a thread about a rendeveau. I will also make up some fliers for a pdf print out and stick up campaign at the various marinas once we figure out where and when to have it.
It was good seeing all of you out there this weekend. My crew even commented that there were a lot more Ericsons out then any other make this weekend.
