After the Admiral asked, "What do you want to do on your birthday?", we were on our way to the rock. We made the long haul to the Isthmus and stayed in Fourth of July Cove the first evening. The next day it was off to Little Harbor around the scenic west end. A rolly night sent us to Cat Harbor for the next two days. Cat was perfect; lots of fish, eagle sightings, a great anchorage, super hikes, temps in the high 70's and access to the "action" at the Isthmus. Traveling around the east end, our last night was in Avalon but not before a hike and pastrami sandwich at Antonio's. Not a bad way to spend a birthday, and the topper, we saw two blue whales on the return trip to Dana. I am thankful and blessed!
Serenity NOW is a 2000 Catalina 36 MK-II designed for coastal cruising. She's berthed in Dana Point, CA and since 2003 has made over 130 passages to Catalina Island, with overnight visits to five of the eight California Channel Islands: Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Anacapa, San Clemente and Catalina. We've overnighted at Isla de Cedros off Baja and have explored the coast from Santa Barbara to the East Cape of Baja Sur, Mexico. She has weighed anchor in excess of 285 times. We've put thousands of miles under her keel. She's an ocean-going maritime mobile home and we love her!
