We left SD about 7PM hoping for a nice sunset, rounded bouy 3 and set the GPS/autopilot for avalon. Motorsailed throught the night. Wind was nil, ocean flat. Took 12 hours. we were tied to a mooring and taking a well desserved nap by 0800. I've done the trip via Oceanside also. Its about 3-4 hours shorter going direct to avalon. Considering the time difference and an extra nite on catalina vs. Oceanside I'll go direct next time too. Trip back was 13 hrs. Left about 10AM, hoping for a broad reach going back. Wind was OK for a few hours then died. Ended up motorsailing with a 5-6 kt following breeze. Saw 100's of dolphin, 4 whales and caught 6 good size bonita. Great trip back.
