Two boats, a 25' MacGregor and my 22' Venture will be sailing to Anacapa Island and Santa Cruze Island next Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday (August 14-18)
I will have the new MacGregor burgee flying. If you are interested I will be leaving the Ventura launch ramp at 10AM, Saturday the 16th of August with my 22' Venture and sailing buddy, Steve. We plan on entering the painted cave that afternoon and anchoring at Frys harbor on Saturday night, then sailing to Little Scorpion anchorage the next day. On Monday we will be circumnavigating Anacapa Island beginning with the south side and then along the north side of the Island (watch for the kelp which grows out to as much as 1/4 mile from shore). If interested contact me at novelman@roadrunner.com or by radio at "Novelman Two". Also you can call me on my cell at 1 661 965 0394 (cell phones work along most of the north side of Santa Cruze as well as Anacapa. See you at the Islands.

Have a Great Trip

We did the same trip this year at the end of June. Had a wonderful time. The wildlife was amazing compared to my normal cruising area further South. The photo was taken at Little Scorpion.

The locals tell me that the south side (away from the mainland) is best, especially for boats your size. I have pwoered, sailed, dived and fished all the islands for the past 40 years and still can't get enough of them. If you really want to see marine life and birds sail to Santa Barbara Island it's by far the best place to see elephant seals, sea lions and several kinds of seals that use the island as a breeding ground. From Marina del Rey it's 30 NM and a full day sail for my 22'. Am planning on sailing there next summer.

You haven't lived until you have been chased down a path by a sea gull on Santa Barbara Island. It has always been one of my favorite spots.
