    I spent a lot of my Summers in 1962-1964 around the Isthmus and Avalon. My Dad had a 30ft sloop which I learned to sail when I was 15. By 16 I was taking her out to Catalina with my high school buddies. The best times were July 4th. 😊👍

From pouring concrete, to planking hulls and decks, to rigging the rig, you deserve every bit of your happiness. You Have Officially Arrived.. Bravo Zulu!, you are the A-Team... and the best is yet to come... J.B.!!

    Used to go there and even though it is illegal, many boaters use the bay to slowly dump their brown water. That is why the bay is full of 'crapper snappers'. I don't recoend swimming there.

    I'm retired and working on my land yacht i.e. land with shop and plenty isolated, but I use your (and Leo and Stephen's) channels as an impetus to have as high of a quality of finish as I can. Also, were EVERY citizen of California one half as laid back, nice and ethical as you guys, I'd sell it all and move there. I"ve been there and love it, don't get me wrong, but there's enough of what I don't like to drive me away. Still, one can dream.
