We speared the Yellow(12lb or so) and a 26" Calico. I caught a couple more legal calico's fishing and would have continued to fish if we had a way to keep the catch on Ice for the whole trip.

I really wanted to on the way back but I had a hard time making bait the morning of my crossing back so I just headed back.

Thanks to all of you for all your kind words.
Next I'm thinking about circumnavigating the entire island camping at Parsons, Catalina Harbor, Little Harbor, Descanso and then Two Harbors before making the trip back. .....Or using Catalina as the halfway point to Santa Barbara Island. Any potential partners out there? Lets start our training now!!! |

I am thoroughly impressed!!
Very few take that channel crossing in a kayak, let alone solo. Thank God the weather was decent for you, that is a long haul and if leg fatigue sets in, that could be tough! Santa Barbara Island?! Wow that would be crazy! I guess it would be like runners training for a marathon, except you have the wind / swells / waves / current to contend with! Congrats on a successful trip and thanks for sharing! |

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Generally waiting on someone to do something ends up on people not going. Looks like you did your risk assessment and were within your comfort level. Sounds like an awesome trip. Way to go.

Wow...go for it while your young me at 56 would run out of energy and I'm sure you had a VFH radio ...

Crazy trip, you got some big cojones.
In case you, or others, do not know. There are shipping lanes for those large freighters. Corridors where the freighters are designated to travel in. It would be a good idea to keep track of them so you can know what's coming, or know when you are entering their area. Personally I would get to the edge lane, look for an opening & peddle like hell to get across. |
