Sailing Vessel Triteia - Sailing through fog from Little Scorpion Anchorage to Catalina Island

| Season 2 | Episode 23 |

On this episode I haul up for the last time on Santa Cruz Island and make my way for Two Harbors on Catalina Island, a distance of 64 nm. I was able to sail for the first six hours of the passage and even though much of it was through heavy fog I was so happy to be sailing with only the sound of the sea in my ears.

Finally getting my Raymarine ST2000+ Autotiller working (now known as HAL2000) I had an easy over night motorsail and was greeted to Catalina with a brilliant sunrise.

Closing out 2017 with an unforgettable trip and spending the last day and night on what feels like my home base island, Catalina.

The last week of 2017 I took an amazing solo sailing trip to the Channel Islands. I visit six anchorages on Santa Cruz Island before sailing for Catalina Island and tying up in Isthmus Cove for New Years Eve. We sailed back on New Years Day enjoying sunshine, great wind and thousands of dolphins.

While I was on my trip I started my first podcast and the first episode is up online now. The podcast is titled “A STERN VIEW” and is something of a cruising guide to anchorages and sailing destinations. Each episode is recorded on location and I cover everything I know about the anchorage from my research and experience at the anchorage.

I also kept a journal in my logbook and will be posting them as a blog with still photos. This will act as support to the A STERN VIEW podcast as will each new video episode that features the anchorage covered in the podcast episodes.

The journal and Podcast can be seen and heard here: http://svtriteia.com

My main go to guidebook for this trip was “Cruising Guide to Southern California’s Offshore Islands: With Sailing Directions for the Santa Barbara Channel’s Mainland Coast” by Brian Fagen which can be found here : http://amzn.to/2HOxAU1
