When we had boats in California, we used to spend a week every year at Catalina Island. The last time was in 2003 with my cousin Larry and his wife Sandy. We took them there on Iron Rose to compete in Catalina Triathlon. It was their introduction to sailing, and they decided to crew with us to Mexico. This year my son Jon got a great deal with a partial partnership with Mike, the owner and developer of a couple of electrically powered sailboats. We took the Colombia 9.2 in the second photo to Catalina. First to Two Harbors and then to Avalon. It was Jon's wifes first time on Catalina and we all loved it. The winds were favorable and for the first time I got to sail most of the way from the mainland to the Island (we always sailed back). We free dove the underwater park, and I got to take the ferry for the first time as well. A great weekend!
