She wasn't really my "cup of rum" and Eddie rarely asked (read that as demanded) me to take her, but I do remember one really nice sail coming home from the Island with no pepes on board. Eddie chartered her for a summer to run dinner cruises in Avalon on a pirate ship that used to belong to James Cagney. This is the Swift of Ipswitch, and she only barely qualifies for inclusion. This boat caps off "Cap'n Eddie's" fleet during the time I worked for him. Lost her topmasts and her centerboard in the '50s. She was once known as the scourge of the bay up in San Francisco, but now she was a grand old dame who still looked great, only she couldn't get around so well any more. Original owners were the Zellerbach paper family. Lady Ada, another vessel of Weinberg's Navy. She was a little smaller and a lot lighter than Ranger, and generally a little faster, but if I could get my girl a snootfull of wind on a slightly broad reach with the golly pullin' hard, she was a freight train. If my parents had bought me a day sailer like that, -I might have become a Schooner Rat. The rest of her is in Davy's hands.īuilt in 1896 as a day sailer for the Vanderbilt kids. Her stern now sits outside the heads at the Isthmus, Catalina Island, about 25 miles from where this pic was taken. I was never certain how many times he sold her and reposed her, but he had her for 20 years or more. She was the first schooner that "Cap'n Eddie" rescued from an early grave. Two weeks later when I was skipper, I would have given them 1/2 hour. People noticed her.Īll dressed up for the tallship parade that was put together during the '84 L.A. She was a pretty big fish in a pretty small pond. I sailed her out of Alamitos Bay in Long Beach, CA back in the mid '80s. Eddie" Weinberg who collected old schooners for a hobby.

I love having breakfast on the water.so beautiful. Not only is the food incredible, the service excellent but the location is just AWESOME. My kids got some really great burgers with bacon that they LOVED and killer fries. Eggs + Cheese + Avocado + Hollandaise (I got mine on the side) + CRAB = a happy, happy customer. I am still dreaming about this breakfast. I got the Crab Benedict Omelet (just didn't have the bread). First by Dad got a Bloody Mary - he LOVED it and then he got "The Mess" which is basically hash browns with eggs, cheese and everything else on it. Everything was got was just sooooo delicious. I was NOT disappointed! We live in San Diego and my parents live in Camarillo so this was the perfect "spot in the middle" for us to meet up and have a LOVELY Saturday breakfast together.
