About 5 miles due east of Avalon Harbor, Catalina.

Heading: 102 degrees (east-south-east)
SOG: 9 knots
We are passing a salty little sail boat on our starboard as we both head east across the shipping lanes between Catalina Island and the mainland. Once across we’ll head down the coast on our return to San Diego.
We departed for Catalina from San Diego at 04:30 PST, September 4. My 13-year-old son, Sam and I were about as sick as you can be almost the entire way. Once we cleared San Diego bay we caught 6-8’ swells left over from Hurricane John well to our south. They hit the two of us like a sledge hammer. My daughter, Laura, and First Mate Doug Harris, did fine; although after the fact Doug admitted to having a somewhat difficult time also.

Aboard Ship at the Kona Kai Marina, Shelter Island, San Diego, CA

I’m alone on board and waiting for the remnants of the Christening crowd to return from Coronado. When they arrive we’ll reassemble and take the kids to family-friendly Mike’s Place for dinner. But not before I lobby for a “pizza harbor cruise†instead.
It was windy all day as we caught the outer winds from hurricane John to the south. I think most of our guests are probably watered out at this point. Not me. I’m ready to go. Let’s point this puppy west and see what’s out there!
