Solo Anchoring at Big Geiger Cove on Catalina Island
( THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THIS UPLOAD ACCIDENTALLY GOT DELETED,,, SORRY)
Episode #200 – Exploring A New Anchorage Hello Friends,
On this episode we haul up at Parson’s Landing and have a perfect slow sail to Big Geiger Cove. We check out Doctors Cove on the way down and decided to keep moving.
Once at Big Geiger Cove we anchored in 20ft of water with 5 scope out and I rowed out our full stern ground tackle to the shore. With Triteia set into the low slow swell we settled in. The shoreside faculties belong to the Ocean Cruising Club and two of their members, also anchored in the cove in a beautiful 1988 Gand Banks, came over and welcomed us and said it would be no problem for us to go ashore and hike out.
Everywhere in California the beaches up to the high water mark are PUBLIC BEACHES… always remember that! There are NO PRIVATE BEACHES IN CALIFORNIA. But the land behind the high water mark at this location is a private lease and we thanked them for their hospitality.
After a hike up top we explored the rocky coasts by dinghy. Checking out the other anchorages and sea caves and enjoying the summer sun and light winds.If you enjoy our channel please “Like” the videos and Subscribe so you don’t miss any future episodes.
