We are purchasing a Catalina 320 in Dana Point and will be relocating her to her new home port on Shelter Island S.D. Since we plan on the trip in June which offers maximum hours of day light, a full 14-15 hours of daylight. I'm thinking about doing the trip in one day. Most everything I'm researching shows a stop in Oceanside and then down to S.D.
Does anyone have local experience in making this trip in one day? Even if we just motor the entire way due to light to no wind, we should make the trip in an easy 11-12 hours. I know we should stay 2-3 miles off shore due to kelp, what other tips and local knowledge should I be aware of. Thanks in advance...
