For the Shermans, the rest of the world Editor’s note: the following article about Jim and Vicki Sherman appearing in the W ednesday, Jan. 17 Sun Bulletin was sent by John Van Winkle, Beaverton. Jim, a 1968 graduate of Heppner High School, is the son of Wes and Helen Sherman, owners of the Gazette-Times in the 1960s. By Neil Farrell Morro Bay-Say "bon voy age" to Vicki and Jim Sherman. The long-time Morro Bay re sidents planned to leave this weekend to sail around the world. But this isn't a race. They'll be setting no records as they wander the globe for the next five years seeing as much of the world as they can from their 42-foot trimaran, the Hana Hou. Call it a retirement vacation. Jim Sherman retired Dec. 29 from Pacific Gas and Electric Co. He worked at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. Vicki was a long-time boat cap tain, who ran whale watching and sport fishing boats as well as the old African Queen, for many years in Morro Bay. She was born in San Luis Obispo but has lived in Morro Bay most of her adult life. "I can't say we'll never live in Morro Bay again," said Vicki Sherman. She's said that be fore when moving to Washing ton or Alaska. But something always pulled her back to Mor ro Bay. And now there are grown children and grand children to consider. She has five generations of her family living in Morro Bay. "T here's always that little pull," she said. "Jim 's more of a vagabond. He was in the Navy for 10 years." Vicki said she plans to fly back to the area for things like Christmas and birthdays. She worries like every mother or grandmother that the next time she sees her grandchildren they probably w on't know who she is. "After five years," she pre dicted, "w e'll be totally dif ferent than we are today. "W e talk to people all the time in their 70s who wished they'd done something like th is," she explained. With Jim's retirement and 10 years of scrimping and saving, the money is there and the time is right. "W e've been the 'church mice' of Diablo Canyon," jok ed Vicki. "This has been our plan for a long tim e." Poor Jim, he hasn't even got ten used to the idea of not hav ing to go to work every day. "I don't think it's hit me yet," he said, while fidgeting with the Hana Hou's main sail. "I just retired Dec. 29 and haven't made the adjustment from work to play. But 10 years planning this is long enough." Married 11 years, the couple planned to leave Morro Bay either Saturday or Sunday for Ventura where they will paint the bottom of the Hana Hou. From there, they sail down Baja California and the Sea of Cortez before they explore C osta Rica. That C entral American country will be the starting and ending place for their circumnavigation of the world. They will go from Costa Rica to the Galapagos Islands, then cross the Pacific to Easter Is land, with its mysterious stat ues. Sticking near the equator, they will cross the Pacific to French Polynesia and explore the South Pacific. "W e plan to spend a year in Australia," said Vicki. The journey is full of potential natural dangers. "Costa Rica and Australia have predators that like tour ists," joked Jim. Send or Receive Gazette-Times 676-9228 We Print Professing a love of travel and the sea, Vicki added, "We have a desire to meet people in remote, out-of-the-way places. Anyone can get on a plane and fly somewhere. We want to go to offbeat places." But, she added, skipping the tourist traps also means sailing into unpredictable receptions from South Pacific islanders. From there, the next stop is Madagascar on the eastern coast of Africa. They plan to skip all of Southeast Asia and India and sail non-stop through the Indian Ocean. Though that body of water has a reputation for rough waters, Vicki is more worried about pirates. "In the Indian Ocean," she explained, "piracy can get real ly ugly through there. There's a lot of official corruption, too. Piracy is one of the scariest things (about the journey)." In that part of the world, hav ing a nice boat like the Hana Hou makes the Shermans look like billionaires. “ This boat could bring enough money to feed an en tire village," she said. They want to sail up the Red Sea and Suez Canal into the Mediterranean but that de pends on the political situation, it could be more than two years before they reach the Middle East. In the Mediterranean Sea, they want to visit Greece and the European Coast and then the Canary Islands on the west coast of North Africa before crossing the Atlantic for Vene zuela. From there it'll be up the coast for another extended stay in Costa Rica, this time on the east coast. That would com plete the global circumnaviga tion. "They say Costa Rica is far more tropical on the east coast," said Vicki. From there they will sail the Caribbean to South Florida, where Jim's brother lives, and then possibly up the East Coast to Nova Scotia. A second cross ing of the Atlantic could take them to England and Ireland but they haven't decided on that part yet. "N obody's waiting for us anyplace," said Vicki. "There are no time schedules. We can let storms blow out and don't have to put our boat or our selves at risk." With two captains on the boat, the chores have to be divided. Jim, the Navy veteran, will be the captain and thus the navigator. The two will trade off watches and Vicki will deal with the housekeeping chores. This w on't be their first ex tended time together at sea. They sailed to Hawaii 11 years ago for their honeymoon. Sailing a 27-foot sailboat, the return trip took 30 days to cross the Pacific Ocean thanks to many days of becalmed seas and no wind. The Hana Hou is a cutter- rigged trimaran, with two head sails and a main sail. She was built by Ted Brimfield, an En glishman who built the three hulls in Atascadero. The hulls wre joined in Avila and the engine installed. The boat was motored to Morro Bay where Jim and Vicki fell in love with it. Brimfield designed her for a crew of six and sailed the ship to Cabo San Lucas once, said Vicki, and didn't like it. "We loved this boat so much w e'd drawn up plans to build one just like it," she added. It would have taken them six or seven years to build their own. Jim and Vicki have refurbished the Hana Hou with new equip m ent, both electronic and mechanical to make the boat easier for two people to handle. The 42-foot boat is 24 feet across the beam but has just a 35-horsepower auxiliary en gine. It weighs 12,000 pounds and less than 20,000 fully load ed. With a strong wind on the beam, the Hana Hou will do 18 knots, said Vicki. That means it might have to be slowed to keep from burying the bow in a wave and flipping over. They are carrying a variety of sea anchors and several types of bottom anchors, designed to work on different types of sea floors. The Hana Hou has a full ar ray of safety and navigational equipment and includes a re- verse-osmosis water purifica tion system and four solar panels for electricity. The Shermans have crab and lobster traps on board, as well as scuba gear and fishing poles. They are also taking 100 cas sette tapes and about 200 CDs. And Jim, a musician, is also taking along his guitar. Vicki feels the trip will strengthen their bond. "Boats brought us together," she explained. "A nd a lot of times it's w hat's kept us to gether. You've got to have a sense of humor and not get too disappointed when things go w rong." In the Service Navy fireman Erik T. Jorgen sen, son of Don E. Jorgensen of Irrigon, recently reported for duty with Assault Craft Unit One, Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, San Diego.
