Catalina Trip!

 Mystic Star took myself and shipmate Jon S to Catalina for a week.  We pit-stopped in Dana Point on the way up and Oceanside on the way back.  

We spent 2 nights at Avalon (inbound/outbound) and 1 night each at Emerald Bay and Little Geiger. 

We encountered the Dana Dolphin Pod on the way to Dana Point:



Here's some other choice shots from the trip:

New Porthole plexiglass

 As a follow-up job to the Plexiglass replacement, I also received 3 porthole glass replacements for my Lewmar portholes in the aft cabin.  ...
