SULLIVAN'S BEACH

Memorial Day 2021 found us bound for the west end of Catalina. We moored in Howland's Landing just east of Emerald Bay. At precisely 8:00 AM each morning, a particular boater fires a cannon. It's very loud. If you're not ready or haven't heard it before, it will startle the crap out of you. It's a tradition started many years ago by his dad. The tradition lives on! All the island yacht clubs were beginning their seasons so there was a fair amount of yachtie activity. The air and breeze were chilly at times and the water a brisk 64 degrees. The cool weather made for some good hikes from the Isthmus. Island time is always a good time and this trip did not disappoint. Sail on sailor!
