1.1.2015 to 1.3.2015
Mia and I got our second catalina island trip in! During one of the clearest and coldest few days in a long time. That satellite image shows how there were no clouds, the pictures show how completely flat the seas were, and other than bundling up and still shivering in the ~50 degree air, everything was great.
We left at 12:45 and were moored at 4:45. The following day we hiked north to Fourth of July cove, cherry cove and beyond, and when we returned to A Cenoura I was even able to relax outside in trunks it was so warm. For about an hour.
We woke up the next morning at 6:30 and it was bumpy, some small 6" waves were rocking the boat uncomfortably, we prepared to leave and got back in about 3.5 hours. This wonderful app called marine traffic shows you all the big boats and ships around you, also gives you a gps reading and speed of your boat. Hard to believe but it said we were up to 7.3 knots motor sailing on the way back… I’ll take it! It was an awesome trip and we were able to take advantage of the few free days left before I start my new job which promises long hours and some time even on weekends… We’ll see how that goes.
