Sailing Joia - Back in California Channel Islands

Back in California Channel Islands

Sailing Joia

It took while to escape the kelp fields around Point Loma but after that we had light winds and sunshine for our sail north. Great to be back among the California Channel Islands. We took a walk overlooking the boat in Fourth of July Cove in Catalina Island, followed by a great dinner at the Harbor Reef Restaurant.
