The new boat ramp is now open at Channel Islands Harbor for use. _________________ Roger

Because of a family commitment we will probably joining the group a day late on the 4th. We will be leaving from the Cabrillo Way Marina Dry Boat Storage facility in San Pedro.
For those of you that would like an alternative to Marina Del Rey or Huntington Harbor I have talked to the owners at the boat storage yard and they would be happy to secure your trailers and tow vehicles for a fee (I have forgotten what they quoted me). There are also guest slips available for $25 a night for those who want to come a day early and get an early start.
Call Mike or Paul at Cabrillo Way Marina Dry Storage
310-521-0200 for details
Here is a map I put together to show launching area and storage yard
https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zXM7Er2IwdMQ.kPGqguGR1wDg
1. Launch your boat at the Cabrillo Beach Boat Ramp. I think the fee is $10
2. Drive your rig to storage yard (See map above)
3. Bring boat over to transient dock by boat yard and pack up for Catalina
Might be a little tough if you are single handing for these logistics but this facility is brand spanking new and uncrowded unlike Marina Del Rey or Huntington Beach and absolutely secure.
Can't wait to see you all in Catalina! _________________ Floyd & Eiko

Dear All Islanders:
This is an update on the upcoming, 13th Annual, Catalina Off-shore Adventure, scheduled from Sunday, August 3 to Saturday, August 9, 2014. We have a fantastic turnout as indicated below:
1. Islander - Ron and Natalie and Jim and Kath
2. Dinner Belle II - John and Robbin
3. Sealife - Mike, Jake, and Muffin
4. SEA3PO - Joel and Susan
5. Marcia Jane - Ken and Marcia
6. Dora Jean - Steve, et. al.
7. Far C’r - Floyd and Eiko
8. C-Hawk - Roger and PJ
9. C-Pup - Keith
10. Oski - Tim, et. al.
11. C-Pelican - Jim, et. al.
12. Happy Hut - ?
13. Helen Pauline -?
We thus have approximately a dozen boats, and 25 or more attendees. Others are welcome to come, just please indicate your intent.
If you are on the above list, and are not coming, please let us know. If you are not on the above list and you are coming, please say so. If Happy Hut and Helen Pauline are coming, please give us your skipper and crew names.
This year, for a variety of reasons, we are having a more informal kickoff on Sunday, August 3. In the past most everyone has met in MDR on Sunday for a get together before we all go over on Monday morning. This year, for good reasons, many attendees are leaving at different times and locations, but most everyone will be together on Monday, August 4th at Two Harbors. Because of the complexity of meeting everyone’s specific different departure needs, we are not formally coordinating the Sunday departure this year.
For ourselves even, we are making a slight change this year. Kath and I are just trying to figure out retirement, we have been gone for the last two months in Prince William Sound Alaska, have overbooked other activity events, and have some family obligations, thus we have not had time to get our own C-Dory act together! Hence, for this year, we are going on the Offshore Adventure with Ron on his Islander, 35 foot Duffy, Lobster Boat. We will leave Channel Islands Marina on Sunday morning, August 3, and arrive in MDR Sunday afternoon. We will then go over to Two Harbors on Monday morning, August 4th.
For any of you that do plan to meet at Marina Del Ray (MDR) on Sunday, late afternoon, August 3th, please indicate so. Any of those in the group, who want to, can go out to dinner together on Sunday night at MDR.
We on Islander will proceed to Two Harbors on Monday morning, August 4th, leaving MDR at approximately 7:00 AM. When we get to Two Harbors we will obtain “string line” or ball reservations close to shore, and together. We will coordinate this reservation on the way over via communication on VHF Channel 69.
Most of us will return from Two Harbors on early Saturday morning, August 9th. Again, we will leave Two Harbors at approximately 7:00 AM on that Saturday.
On Monday night, August 4th, we will have group pot luck on the beach. Each boat should plan on bringing a dish to share with the group. Everyone is to bring their own drinks to the beach party Monday.
During the week of August 4th for some of our activities we may have a fishing trip (and an associated victory fish fry), a sightseeing trip to Avalon, a scuba diving or snorkeling trip, a kayak excursion along the shore, hikes around the Island, and/ or a bicycle trip around Two Harbors. On Friday night, August 8th, for those that want to, we usually have a more formal group dinner together at the Harbor Reef Restaurant.
For many C-Dory folks, it will be sufficient to just relax on their boats. This activity includes watching the sun rise, and set, and enjoying the perfect 75 degree weather in flip-flops, shorts, and t-shirts.
Many folks eat breakfast over at the Galley Grill in the morning, and most eat light lunches and dinners on their own boats. Often times there will be mid-afternoon drinks over at the Harbor Saloon or the Banning House Lodge. Some folks often host a happy hour during the week on their boats. There is a good grocery store at Two Harbors where one can buy most anything needed and replenish ice every few days.
Be sure to bring a good functioning tender to this event if you can, as a big part of this venue is getting to, and from, the dingy dock, and cruising around to all the other boats and visiting. A functioning small outboard on the tender really helps. Also, bring quarters for the pay showers, another key to happy Island life!
Regarding food assignments for our Monday night pot luck BBQ on the beach we need volunteers for the following types of dishes:
A. Steaks or tri tip to BBQ – Jim and Kath
B. Spaghetti and meat sauce or some other main dish – need volunteer(s)
C. Garlic bread and aluminum foil - need volunteer
D. Cheese, chips, and dip, etc. for pre-dinner snacks – need volunteer(s)
E. Potato or macaroni pasta salad – need volunteer
F. Green salad and dressing – need volunteer
G. Corn and aluminum foil – need volunteer
H. Dessert (such as ice cream from the store (2 gallons) and cookies – need volunteer(s).
We have 10 or more vessels on this journey. There are at least ten opportunities to volunteer for a food assignment above. For any other vessel(s), please make your own suggested food contributions. Please sign up now for your potluck assignment!
If anyone needs to check in regarding any logistics on this trip they may call me on my cell telephone number (916) 799-0286.
Sincerely,
Jim and Kath _________________ Jim on M/V Pounder

Unfortunately, I will not be able make the trip this year. The biggest reason, is that I have developed some minor electrical problems that must be corrected before I am comfortable making the 65 mile run from Oxnard. The second reason are work commitments.
I will have to enjoy the trip vicariously through the pictures posted.
I do plan on going next year.
Enjoy,

I am not sure if the Oski crew will be able to make this year's event. We had an excellent weather window this week and took some time off work to cross a few more California islands off of the bucket list.
We hit Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Catalina in 6 days.
https://vimeo.com/101133194
The weather at San Miguel was epic, as you can see in the video. We checked in with the park ranger on the island who said this was the nicest day he had seen all year.
Have a great time in Catalina, if we are able to make it out there, it would probably not be until Friday or Saturday. Enjoy the trip! _________________ Tim

Hello Jim, Kath, et-al;
Please sign-up C-Casa, I might end-up single-handling it, bringing the cheese and crackers and perhaps other goodies. Eileen is having back problems and doesn't want to push it, but has given me permission to go...
At this point I haven't decided to travel along with you (Islander) Saturday to MDR or Sunday with C-Hawk and others from Channel Islands Basin to Two Harbors.
Regardless, count on me, and feel free to let me know if you need me to bring anything else.
Looking forward to it...!!!

Dear All:
We have a few more attendance up-dates. John and Robbin had to drop out this year due to work commitments. Tim and family also had to bow out for this year. Pedro of C-Casa will now be joining us. Floyd and Eiko are now bringing their in-laws along.
Again, we ask, are the two vessels Happy Hut and Helen Pauline still coming to this event? If so, please confirm your attendance.
Below is the current updated list of attendees and food volunteers. We still have anywhere from 9 to 11 vessels, and anywhere from 20 to 25 folks in attendance.
1. Islander - Ron and Natalie and Jim and Kath - Steaks or Tri-Tip
2. Sealife - Mike, Jake, and Muffin - Garlic Toast and Aluminum Foil
3. SEA3PO - Joel and Susan - Orzo Pasta Salad
4. Marcia Jane - Ken and Marcia - Ice Cream and Cookies
5. Dora Jean - Steve, et. al.
6. Far C’r - Floyd and Eiko and Sister and Brother-in- Law - Corn and Aluminum Foil
7. C-Hawk - Roger and PJ - Green Salad
8. C-Pup - Keith
9.C-Casa – Pedro – Cheese and Crackers
10. Happy Hut – Thompson, et. al. ?
11. Helen Pauline – Dan, et. al. ?
Food contributions look good. We could still use a few more food volunteers though for baking potatoes and aluminum foil; and potato salad.
Thank you all for your participation.
Jim and Kath |

Well I too have run into a few snags, but still trying to make it there. Just got back from a 7 day trip (and vac from work) to pick up relatives in Reno (relatives are from Virginia) and do some camping. Now they are at our house with more get-togethers and leave August 3rd. This is putting a big crimp on the time I have to fix a disc brake and some regular maintenance on the outboards. This is why I haven't committed to a food dish quite yet.
Here's hoping for the best...! _________________ Steve & Carmen
