Trips around Channel Islands
Emerald Bay
We sailed down to Catalina Island for a day on our club's trimaran, Sea Wing (which is the fastest boat). We spent a few hours snorkeling and eating lunch at Emerald Bay before stopping Two Harbors to pick up some extra gas. Emerald Bay was gorgeous, with very clear water and amazing snorkeling. It definitely makes me want to buy a waterproof case for my camera. A fun trip, and a place I'd love to return to soon.
Santa Cruz Cruise
In order to be allowed to take out boats overnight in the yacht club I belong to, I took an exam while sailing to Santa Cruz Island for a 2 night cruise aboard our club's flagship, Angelsea. We spent the first night in Smuggler's Cove, and the second night in Prisoners' Harbor. The second day I spent some time kayaking (my first time) around the harbor. We had an amazing sunrise the third day, and then set sail back to the mainland. Plenty of great photographs and a great weekend.
