Thanks for the info on San Diego. I'm contemplating a move there & some of those details get lost in the romance, I guess. Have you tried the slough side of Hayden Island? My moorage is $74 a month including electricity. Granted it's a parallel dock but that's pretty cheap for a 15 minute drive from my house! Also, have you thought about joining the new Columbia River All Catalina Association? We're having a meeting next Weds at Tomahawk Bay Marina's picnic area at 6:30. You're more than welcome to drop by. If you want more details, my email is ladonna@catalinaowners.com. LaDonna
