CATALINA - CRUISERS WEEKEND 2007

We had a great time on our first trip to Catalina for the Lats and Atts Cruisers Weekend.
We left Newport Beach at midnight on Thursday and ended up motoring the whole way. We arrived at Two Harbors before sunrise but waited till the sun came up before we went in and picked up a ball.
There was some really great seminars and Catalina was beautiful, we wish we had more time to explore the island but that will have to wait until the next trip. Mark even got to meet Bob Bitchen! He was so excited!!
We left on Sunday and actually was able to sail all the way back to Newport. The weather was perfect and we were able to average 6 knots which is not exactly fast for the Chrokeva but it got us there and we had a great time.
