I think you should really reconsider your route, crossing LB harbor might not be the best place to try a Paddle fest, when is Memorial day again? There was some talk of Dana Point to San clem maybe dig up that thread, or try a Cherry or Seal beach to Bolsa. Im all for long distance fishing and have done the two oil platforms off of dog beach in HB but that took lots of planning and we had a support boat in hunting Harbor come get us when we were half way in, we probably did close to 14 miles for some sandbass and cuda!
