I recently acquired a 1978 Ericson 31 Independence, hull #29. She is called HYDRA.
The Project:
This blog will chronicle the extensive refitting I will be undertaking to get HYDRA ready for bluewater cruising. HYDRA sat unattended and neglected for at least five years and is in need of a lot of refurbishing.
The Dream
My hope is to have her cruising California's Channel Islands by summer 2013. After that, Mexico or beyond!
The Philosophy
Go simple, go cheap, go soon. I am a fan of Lin and Larry Pardey's style...go simple and its cheaper, have nothing onboard you cant repair yourself, be self sufficient.
