We finally left the armpit of Los Angeles and got our boat underway.
On Tuesday, we left for Santa Catalina island at 7:00 am. After 5 1/2 hours of motorsailing in 7-9 foot seas, we are at rest on a mooring.
This seems a different world from LA, even though we're only 23 miles away. The beaches are clean and empty during the week. There is only one restaurant/bar and a general store. The people are friendly. And it feels like a genuine island.
