Catalina - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Great. One more thing I have to have. Thanks a lot.

I sailed a catamaran to catalina in the late '80s. No compass, no GPS, we only brought a small bottle of water and one sandwich each with our clothes in trash bags. On top of that it was overcast so we couldn't see the island when we left. Looking back it seems foolish.

We lost our wind about 2 miles from the island so we had to each stradle a hull on our stomachs and start paddling so I can definitely appreciate the pedal drive. When we came into the harbor we caught some wind and sailed into the harbor on one hull. The sailors in the marina came out of their yachts and gave us a standing ovation. Very cool trip and a great memory.
