I've sailed out of Long Beach and Marina Del Rey in the sailboats.

When I try the crossing in the runabout I'll either leave from the Long
Beach ramp or the one next to Seal Beach. Although I'll sail to Catalina in
any conditions found in the summer, I will avoid sailing there during a
Santa Ana condition. With the runabout I'll cancel my Catalina plans and
head for a lake if the conditions aren't perfect.

What do you sail? Email me (there's only one real dot in my address) if you
want my personal favorite Catalina itinerary.

I haven't done much sailing in So. Cal., since I left school in
SD. Why not in Santa Anas? Is the issue beating back or the sea state?

At the moment, I sail (mostly) on a Yamaha 30 out of Sausalito
(school's boat). I also sail Holder 20s on a lake from time to
time. Currently, boatless, but contemplating several in the 35-foot
range.

Email on the way...
