Hello Lovepeppard, Ok - I am going to jump in and give you a number - this is a reckless speculation - but it is something So - there is a 2 mph current moving south - in general there are kelp beds off of La Jolla - that this dude would get tangled in S Jones - Try using Google Earth on your computer.
You can draw a line between 2 locations and find out the nm distance. I tried to do this for you but google earth won't load for me Good luck. Important to stay away during the day, take special care at night or low visibility. Re: OBTW Yeah our first time and last if we can help it was an overheat alarm, a flashlight on the exhaust only to see that we were trailing 14nm's of kelp.
Should have did the math when boat speed dropped off! And for the Zuniga jetty, as Rick D mentioned, keep your wits about you on the approach. Good luck Robert and enjoy your time on your fine vessel. I actually have a waypoint that is called "clear of kelp". Conservative but accurate.
Tis what it is. Kelp Beds. That fishing chart of the Pt Loma kelp beds is spot on. I sail often out and around them to go up to Mariners Cove in Mission, or just out for a long ocean day sail. Buoy 3 is always my turning point to miss most of it. Still have to dodge the occasional patty. First time coming out of the bay I made the mistake of turning north right after marker 5. Got myself in a jam with the kelp. Really nasty stuff. We live and learn. Aug 11, 5 Catalina 36 San Diego. I don't see much reason to stop in MB unless you have another reason for doing so.
I think from Ballast Point to CV marina is 2 hours and the buoys are well lit. The only hassle is that neither marina in CV is well lit at night so if you're not familiar with your slip, finding it could be tricky. This is the exact question I've been wondering about. We're purchasing a boat in Dana Point, and then need to sail it back to Chula Vista.
Since it will be our first trip with the boat, I want to plan conservatively. Maybe stops at Oceanside and Mission Bay? Jun 8, 2, Catalina Dana Point. Hello Captain Curran, Do you ever charter excursions for others? Husband and I planning a trip to San Diego in April.
Looking into sailing charters to Catalina Island for a night or two. Thank you for your time! I just discovered this blog. Great info! I am taking a group to La Paz later this week on a snorkelling and kayaking adventure, but I am currently planning a sailing trip to Catalina Island over Labor Day.
I sailed to Catalina once before, but that was 20 years ago. So, I appreciate this info! Captain Curran, thank you for such a well thought out and organized blog. The info from your blog is the basis for our game plan. The best to you and co-Captain Jessica.
Post a Comment. Are you considering sailing from San Diego to Catalina Island? You can bang it out in a week. To cap off a safe trip, our super-helmswomen put us back into the slip without incident and we had our celebratory beer to toast the ship and crew.
Kerry, thank you. My wife told me to shoot through the trees and then we turned it into the black and white shot. Great post. Thank you. June 1, 4 Comments. Son of a Sailor. How do you sail from San Diego to Catalina all at once?
Read the post and we'll talk you through it. Read on for more- We knew on a sailboat under motor doing an average speed of 5. Looking toward the entrance to Cat Harbor from right above the Dinghy Dock.
