    Catalina this weekend

    We're planning to head back out there on Friday morning, once the fog lifts and the wind picks up a bit. We have more boat chores to do so we'll probably once again head for the Isthmus where we can work in a relative paradise. Anyone else ? -Sven

    Memorial Day on Catalina ?

    We are heading over in the AM (Saturday) and hoping to get a mooring. If we can't get a can we'll try Cat harbor or anchoring if Cat reports full too. Any suggestions for Isthmus anchoring ? Anyone else going out ? -Sven

    New attraction at Catalina Island

    Catalina Zip Line Eco Tour ~ NOW OPEN ~ It opened this week. LA Times review. It's $89 per rider. Steeper than the canyons. :) I think it's too expensive and not enough people will ride it to justify continuing to operate it. It will decay and fall into disrepair. Better ride it...

    Hikes/walks at the west end of Catalina

    We'll spend part of Saturday hiking with some friends at the West end on Catalina. Any suggestions for the most scenic ones or which way to go if we want to see the buffalo ? Is the bald eagles' nest visible from any of the trails ? Thanks, -Sve

    First Catalina Trip

    A couple of weeks ago my Brother, Son and two Grandsons and I made our first trip to the Isthmas at Two Harbors, Catalina Island. We were able to sail over taking a little over four hours. The seas were choppy and made for a semi-unpleasant ride. About a mile out we lowered the sails so we could...

    San Diego to Catalina

    I am curious as to the route people take when sailing from San Diego to Catalina. Direct seems a bit far for a lazy sailor like me. Up the coast to some convenient spot and then across seems a logical course, but I am interested in how those who have done it did it. Any lessons learned or...

    Catalina Advice

    We're going to Avalon for our first time on Friday, August 9. We're leaving early to get a better shot at a mooring. Should I expect any problems? Everyone I've spoken to doesn't seem to worry about it, but the whole 1st come 1st serve kind of makes me nervous.
