Had an interesting trip to Catalina Island two weeks ago. Was a miserable crossing, probably the worst in our 29 trips. But we persisted and went to Cherry Cove. The weather was brilliant for days on end. We visited, dived, swam, had a few sundowners with friends and new friends. We flew a couple of flags. One was our beloved US flag. Another one was a support flag. There were many in all of the Harbors. No biggie. Just showing patriotism. Well as we left, my wife found a ziplock bag in our winch holder. It was a note. Someone had waited until we were gone to board us and leave a note that showed their disgust of our flag. BOARDED us while we weren't there. It accused us of racism, and that the Island is a conservancy and that we should be shamed for flying our support flag. Said "how dare we fly the US flag with the other one". Now I wont call them cowards, or racists, or just scared little people who wait to ..... I just wonder whats next? Is my boat part of their property somehow? By the way William Wrigley supported Warren Harding, a Republican for President. Hmmmm
What do you guys think? I really think that was a sailor's "horse thief" move personally. I should have just called the Harbor Police but I decided it wasnt worth it. Dont want Catalina to get any kind of that "press".
Cheers
