It got a little rough rounding Ben Weston point. |
|
Home for the next few days, Catalina's Little Harbor. |
|
I loved this beautiful spot. |
|
There's my kayak on the beach. |
|
When friend Richard G arrived, we went for a climb. |
|
Quite a view from up there. |
|
Up bright and early the next day bound 28
miles northwest for Santa Barbara Island. This is way offshore.
Great to have a buddy boat along for this daring passage.. |
|
Watching Catalina Island melt into the morning fog behind us. |
|
First sight of Santa Barbara Island, its only 1 square mile, and about 50 miles from land. |
|
Richard got this nice shot of his approach. |
|
View from my SBI anchorage |
|
How about those 2 Catalina 25s in this beautiful spot! |
|
Richards boat from the ranger station. |
|
View of the famous arch rock. |
|
Landing on this island is a special challenge. |
|
It can be rugged, foggy and windy. |
|
On top of those steep cliffs, its a barren, empty island, home of many birds and seals. |
|
Richard near the summit. |
|
Magnificant desolation (to quote Buzz Aldrin about the moon). |
|
Yes, I was there, too. |
|
Richards little dinghy with the motor I dubbed "Old Reliable", and ESKA 2 HP air cooled model. |
|
Sutil Island viewed from the South Summit. |

Thank you Channel Island National Park |
