At 4:38, you can see huge rollers at the top of the screen. As we grew older, we called that CloudBreak. I watched my two brothers surf that crazy ass break once. Hardly ever happened, but when it did…….. it will never be forgotten!
For three months a year, (summer months) my family would sail the Channel Islands. I was one years old when we began those treks. At first, only Catalina. But once we started bypassing Catalina, SBI was our first stop before SCI and beyond. I have climbed that scary ass rusted ladder many many times to overcome fear. It has been upgraded many times since I was there. I’m old. These trips were way before gps. SBI is a monolith in the middle of nowhere. Beautifully equipped with midget trees and bushes, and beautiful blooms at certain times of the year. A sea lion colony and breeding ground. And I remember hanging my head over the sheer cliff on the NE side to watch the enormous elephant seals do battle or sleep. A wonderful place to visit!
For a place that is rarely visited/photographed/videoed, you did an awesome job!! Thank you for getting this done and posting. It has brought back many great memories.
@@FlyingJournalism i can imagine that i was looming Through them up and I found that island I didn't know about it and I searched and I saw your video that For filled my interest in the island thank you very much for it and I know it takes very good detailed trip to do that thanks for that and I will definitely watch more of your videos
That view at 01:12 is incredible looking, you have a radio voice, would we recognize your name? fairly new to your channel as you know so forgive me if I didn't pick up on it.
thanks for the compliment Ed... No famous voice here, lol...the view is incredible... I am not sure what the phenomena is that you see down there, at least I couldn't find a name for it... so its a mystery!..for now
@@FlyingJournalism Well what ever you call it, it looks really cool and glad you caught it & heads up your radio voice might get discovered. Hope you have a good weekend 😎👍
Thanks anthony, I did get an answer why the water looks like that from a professor at UCSB marine science... stay tuned for the next episode.. cant wait to see more of your show dude, the set looks cool!👍👍🍹
I thought the same thing about flying out there...like is it worth the distance, precise fuel calculations, and prayers of someone else beside god finding us if we needed help. Answer was totally worth it, everytime we have ventured out past catalina we find interesting stuff, whales, dolphins, military aircraft, wierd waves, etc, cloud formations. Total box of chocolates
Totally worth it, Aaron. For at least for the bragging list. If you anchor there and go onboard, you will add yourself to a very small list. Get to Catalina, head to SBI and stay a night. Then, head to SCI and go around it, stopping wherever you want. It is an absolute treasure and you won’t ever forget it. Go during summer, or stay in Catalina during the winter, and wait for perfect weather to hit up SBI. Good luck and God speed.
Thats what made this so rare... flying out there is challenging because you can never see the island and it is soo remote. But very rarely is it visible from super far like this day, so we decided to make this trip out there, i wish i had better camera equipment
What a cool video, thanks for going to get this. Cabrillo fell off his small boat and broke his leg on rocks. He died and was burried out there, 1542. The log of his journey is a good read. Chumash put tar on redwood canoes to go to the islands.
Such incredible views of the Channel Islands Flying Journalism! So awesome to see Ed Whisenant, one of the best aviation videographers in Southern California watching your content! Hope you are doing well lately, greasy landings and best of everything for your CFI, take care buddy!
Oh I know! Isnt that a crazy view... yes I am blessed to have you and ed whisenant as followers. I havent had the chance to do as much flying as I would like but we will see. How are things up by your way?
@@FlyingJournalism Things are going good, thank you Flying Journalism! I have to agree its harder to fly as much as you want! We just got my buddy's C-150 an annual inspection last weekend at Rosamond Skypark, everything is nominal, hope to fly the thing a little more, only 17 hours of flight last year! Take care, hope you can fly more than me this year, and again, hope for the best for your CFI, take care and I wish the best of flying for you!
@@darewolf thanks chris, yes I will keep you updated. Is the pizza place at rosamond open again?😋 that place is awesome. I been Side tracked with regular work but still flying a lot. We could do both 150's in formation landing on Koehn dry lake (lol just kidding)
From the beginning of the video through the first minute, or so, is a view of the south side. We passed right between the large rock on the left and the two smaller rocks on the right in a sport-boat I was fishing on at the time. We went around the west side which faces the open ocean, the 'windward' side, but it was much rougher over there at the time. Not a big island at all!
I fly out to Catalina often but have never gone any further west. I see on the sectional you can’t fly below 1000 ft agl because of the bird sanctuaries. What limits you to 2000 ft?
Good question, if you look below san clemente island the blue line with the dots says pilots are requested (voluntary , not required per AC 91-36D) to stay 2000 ft above within 2000ft laterally of certain national parks. If you go west of catalina, go prepared, bring floatation devices, flares, a handheld marine radio, and MRE's.
@@FlyingJournalism the video is great but I thought a little research on the islands past as a ranch the invasion of non native species as a result and the ongoing projects to restore the island to its pristine past. The fact each of the Channel Islands has its own subspecies of island Fox, and endemic plants that don’t exist anywhere else in the world
@@FlyingJournalism I’m sorry my wording was so harsh. I liked your piece and your photography, I just thought a call to the park service for some basic history would of completed the professional effort you put forth

thank you for showing this health and hapiness to you
Thanks brother, this is a rarely seen island, takes a lot of work and planning to get out there, survival equipment, and weather calculations.
@@FlyingJournalism i can imagine that i was looming Through them up and I found that island I didn't know about it and I searched and I saw your video that For filled my interest in the island thank you very much for it and I know it takes very good detailed trip to do that thanks for that and I will definitely watch more of your videos
I've gone with my Scuba Diving Club there many times. It is very interesting under the water. One of my favorite islands.
@Erik-rp1hi omg, do you have any videos of what it looks like???
@@FlyingJournalism sorry no. Wish I did.
Nice viewing same like n the philippines.. I'm here new frnd.. Full suport
Thanks friend, glad you enjoyed the video
Cool upthere my friend, amazing aerial view of that Mistery island..
Thanks friend, isn't it crazy?
I will explain in another video what it is
That view at 01:12 is incredible looking, you have a radio voice, would we recognize your name? fairly new to your channel as you know so forgive me if I didn't pick up on it.

Hello Ed!!
@@RailfanNetwork Hello Anthony 😎👍
CA certainly has some spectacular coastline! :)
Man, this was an unbelievable experience. We wore wetsuits underneath our clothes and floatation devices over. It took a lot of planning
Beautiful island great place...stay safe and connected my friend
Thanks man, it is in pristine condition lots of unique birds and wildlife
Beautiful island...stay safe my friend
Isn't it incredible, soon I will share the story of the choppy water👍👍
Very nice! Wonder why the water is so turbulent at the shoreline?
I agree with the others, you should explore broadcast announcing and voiceover work.
Thanks anthony, I did get an answer why the water looks like that from a professor at UCSB marine science... stay tuned for the next episode.. cant wait to see more of your show dude, the set looks cool!👍👍🍹
@@FlyingJournalism Thank you!!
Shallow area with rocks
Opposite of "still waters run deep" 🤔
Great video of the island! Been thinking about sailing out there but not convinced there's much of interest to warrant the extra distance!

wow steady stunning views monitored from the air. Be careful in flight, put safety first. 👍❤️🇮🇩
Thank you friend! When you come to the US we will take you flying with us
@@FlyingJournalism ok ready my brother,😄
That’s awesome, man! Looks beautiful
Thank you for commenting man! You ever come down this way?
I went fishing twice to Santa Barbara Island, it's hard to fish at that island because the weather is always bad. SBI has good Rock Fishing.
Thats what made this so rare... flying out there is challenging because you can never see the island and it is soo remote. But very rarely is it visible from super far like this day, so we decided to make this trip out there, i wish i had better camera equipment
Thanks for your comment peter
Meant to say perch master, not peter lol
This is rarest cat island from clouded leopard down
It's crazy how every island has their own species of Fox
dude that white water is crazy! never seen anything like that! what the hell is that!!!!!
Portal to another dimension... thanks for the comment. Wish i could get better footage, if only we had the money for a gimbal mounted camera
@@FlyingJournalism HA I bet you've seen some crazy things up there......what's the craziest?
What a cool video, thanks for going to get this.
Cabrillo fell off his small boat and broke his leg on rocks. He died and was burried out there, 1542. The log of his journey is a good read. Chumash put tar on redwood canoes to go to the islands.
I did not know that about cabrillo, thanks Mike your the best

Omg ... thats wild. Did you get video of it! That is wild
I notice buildings on the island anybody know what it is ?
Seriously? I didnt notice at what part?
Old Ranger/Scientist stations.
