I am trying to organize a Long Beach To Catalina Island sail for this summer. Later summer. July or August. All Boats Welcome. But we would need a group to make it a safe trip. Let me know what you think and we will work out details |

Sgt. P. - I've done this a few times many years ago with an organized group. Dave Kofahl from Flt. 3 organized it. Chase boats, boat safety checks, insurance.... We sailed to twin Harbrs and stayed at the Boy Scout Camp for 2 nights and 3 days over the Labor Day Weekend. Food & lodging. It's quite an undertaking to organize. You might get some help from Flt. 3. Karen Christensen 582-439-4097; or log on to http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/so_ca_beachcat_sailors/ I'd be interested in going providing we get to spend a few days on the island, it's well organized, and it doesn't conflict with our trips to Alaska & Huntington Lake this summer. I'll keep an eye on this forum to see how things are going. Good Luck! Rich |

How come these crossings are made to Twin Harbors and not Avalon? |

Skipshot - I don't know for certain, but I believe it's because every inch of shoreline at Avalon is already staked out for other things - snorkeling, swimming, glass bottom boat, mini submarine, etc. Not much going on at Twin Harbors, so they probably have fewer rules and restrictions. I've never seen a catamaran pulled up on the beach at Avalon. I believe they still have a water taxi service between Avalon & Twin Harbors, so you can still get to Avalon without taking your boat.

Count me in!!! (As long as it stays cheap) And as Rich says, let's spend at least a couple full days over there. I'd like to sail around the island. Hopefully there's some nice wind for us otherwise it'll be a miserable trip. Santa Ana's could toast us. Fourth of July falls on Saturday this year. |

I've taken my power boat to Avalon as a support boat for the Outrigger Canoe races. Trust me, you do not want to get inside of Avalon on a Hobie. There are no beaches or shoreline which aren't lined with rocks. Plus, with the tide just right there is a huge surge which can bang your cat into someone else's not so cheap yacht$$$$$$. Two harbors is the place to plan on for your trip. |
