HELP ME, need moorage in SoCal

[Mike_G70]

I am looking at a good deal for a 1976 Ericson 36c. My problem is the seller has to move the boat and will not accept an offer without proof that I have a wet slip or a mooring to move the boat to after the close.

I found a slip at Kings Harbor for $987/month, not an option. Can anyone suggest a slip or mooring field that is reasonably priced and has openings. I can't believe I am the only newby who has or is currently going through this.

Thanks in advance,

Mike G

Where are you interested in looking? Your post needs more details.

From Oxnard California down to San Diego.

If you're open for another 80 miles south of San Diego, I'm paying about $450/mo at Cruiseport marina in Ensenada. Walking distance to decent restaurants. Safe and secure. Commute over border sucks.

Thanks for the info. It is another option I could use. So far I see that my options are:

Wet Slip
Mooring
Anchorage
Over the border
Placement on the hard until a reasonably priced slip or a mooring is available.

Thanks

Another point of interest is Starlink in Mexico is currently running $75/mo for the old RV plan (I forget what it's called now. Mobile something)

Check in all the marinas in Channel Islands. They had a lot of slips damaged by previous storms but I do know some 30 foot slips have opened up at Peninsula yacht marina. They had been clearing out some boats, they may have a 35 foot side tie but I am not sure. Check at Anacapa marina too. Good luck!

[Mike_G70]

Thanks for the reply,

I've contacted Peninsula Marina. Anacapa marina said no slips open. I will get to the channel Island Marinas if there are none closer.

Thanks,

There’s always Wilmington too, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those marinas has a slip. A while back I heard that Cabrillo marina in LA harbor might have some openings but not sure.

I hope it works out for you. I always thought those 36Cs looked like nice boats!

LA harbor/San Pedro are the only ones advertising open slips in The Log.

Thanks Calif Ted,

I wasn't aware that there were so many smaller marinas behind Carillos. I will contact them all.

Thank you,

They compile a list of ALL slips every year, and there are additional ads in their "digital" edition that comes out every 2 weeks. Best bet right now probably San Pedro/LA or Chula Vista in San Diego.

Thanks Adelie,

I talked to the San Diego Mooring Company today. They said they have a 1 year waiting list.

Thank you,
