Starting the New Year Ashore Hiking on Catalina Island
June 10, 2019 by Sailing Triteia | Language: EN Play Time: 00:13:10 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Season 4 | Episode 71 | An Empty Isthmus Cove and Hiking Goat Whiskers Trail.
On this episode we awake to a New Year! 2019! After riding out the blow that came in the middle of the night we made our way ashore in the lingering winds and walked over to Isthmus Cove.
It was quite a sight to see Isthmus Cove all but completely empty. The only boats that were allowed to stay were the Lifeguard Boat and two shore boats. They even towed the dingy dock well far out and tired it off to moorings.
My friend Noah told me this seemingly excessive precaution was a direct result of a storm that hit the island on December 31st, 2014, exactly 5 years from when this video was filmed. During that 2014 storm boats were blown ashore on the rocks and two people were killed, one of which was a harbor master. Since then when a gale is forecasted to hit the islands the Lee harbors are cleared out as a safety measure for sailors and Harbor Masters a like.
We made our way up the hill and ran into two of our friends from Instagram, Adam and Kat. We had been in touch with them and said hi was we motored past their Cape Dory on our way in the day before and had planned on meeting up at some point. It was nice to bump into them on the trail and we all hiked the rest of the day together.
Making our way up Goat Whiskers Trail we eventually found ourselves on a brilliant vista point giving us an amazing view of the island and of the isthmus. before heading back down and back to the boat for a very long nap.
Thanks again to all of our Patrons, We are very grateful for your support!
