We're considering the Catalina Island trip. Will there be a flotilla of boats going over at the same time? If so, where is the launch point and when?

SEA3PO will not be making the jaunt to Catalina....Joel has "age degenerating discs", in his back, ......which all got together and failed at the same time. He had an epidural several weeks ago, which clearly has not worked. He is scheduled for surgery on August 5th. He won't be able to put dancing shoes on at that time, but he should be able to move much more freely and be out of the terrible pain he has been in. Of course, surgery will be followed by a stint in rehab!!!

Marie and I send out best to Joel--We have both been in his "position". Hopefully the surgery will be successful. We have both have several surgeries, and results allow reasonable function. (Which means that the important function in life of running a C Dory returns!)

Sorry to hear that Joel is having health issues and won't be able to make the Catalina Island trip. We hope he has a speedy recovery. We've been on trips with Joel to Catalina Island, Lake Powell and the Sacramento River Delta Trip.

We've decided to take Bob Austin's suggestion and launch at Sunset Aquatic Marina for the Catalina Island Trip. We have a reservation for a guest slip ($25) the night of July 31. It appears there is a good boat ramp and trailer wash-down facility. Parking is $12/day. There is an Orange County Harbor Patrol building adjacent to the parking lot so we hope the parking is secure.

This may not appeal to folks coming from the north as it is a longer drive for them than to other options such as Marina Del Ray, but, as we're coming from Phoenix, we hope it is a easier drive. Also, it looks like the trip to the island is a shorter distance than other launch points.

Joel and Susan.

So sorry to hear of Joel’s back problems. Kath and I wish Joel a speedy recovery.

You both will be dearly missed at Catalina as I think that you have never ever missed that venue.

We were glad to see you both earlier at the Delta and Bay Extravaganza.

Dear All.

Right now we have about six boats attending the 2016 Catalina Off-shore Adventure. Some of the boats may be there part of the time, and some of the boats will be there all of the time. We thus have approximately 12, or more, attendees.

This year, like the last two years, we are having a more informal kickoff on Sunday, July 31st. In the past most everyone has met at Marina Del Ray (MDR) on Sunday for a get together before we all go over on Monday morning. This year, like last year, some attendees are leaving at different times and locations, but most everyone will be together on Monday, August 1st at Two Harbors.

Kath and I will arrive in MDR Sunday late afternoon with the John and Robbin. We will then go over to Two Harbors on Monday morning, August 1st.

For those that plan to meet at MDR on Sunday, late afternoon, July 31st, please indicate so. Any of those in this group, who want to, can go out to dinner together on Sunday night at MDR.

Pounder and Dinner Belle II will proceed to Two Harbors on Monday morning, August 1st, leaving MDR at approximately 7:00 AM. When we get to Two Harbors we will obtain shore side “string line” reservations (on the left hand side of the fuel dock facing the shore), and together.

We will coordinate this reservation on the way over via communication on VHF Channel 69. (You will all be happy to know that I got a new radio that hopefully will not be cutting out!). We will contact Harbor Patrol on VHF Channel 9 when we get to Two Harbors.

Many of us will return from Two Harbors on early Saturday morning, August 6th. Again, we will leave Two Harbors at approximately 7:00 AM on that Saturday.

On Monday night, August 1st, 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 1st for our activities we may have a fishing trip (and an associated 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 5th, for those that want to, we usually have a group dinner together at the Harbor Reef Restaurant.

For many aging 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 near perfect 75-degree weather in flip-flops, shorts, and t-shirts.

Some 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 Reef 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, 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 ingredient to happy Island life!

Regarding food assignments for our Monday night pot luck BBQ on the beach we need volunteers for the following dishes:

A. Steaks to BBQ – Jim and Kath
B. Cheese, chips, and dip, etc. for pre-dinner snacks – need volunteer
C. Potato or macaroni pasta salad – need volunteer
D. Green salad and dressing – John and Robbin
E. Garlic bread and corn and butter and aluminum foil – need volunteer
F. Dessert (ice cream from the store) and cookies – need volunteer.

We have at least 6 vessels on this journey. There are at least six (6) 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 logistics on this trip they may call me on my cell telephone, (916) 799-0286.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at this historic long-held event.

Jim & Kath

Jim,
There is a possibility that we may bring Todd's "new" 25 Cruise Ship for a day or two, depending on how the "outfitting" goes. Don't count on us--If we are able to come, we will give you a shout on the phone.
