Next stop? 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.

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."
