After a nice stay (including many errands and shopping) in Marina Del Rey, we cruised over to Catalina Island. We spent three nights on a mooring at Isthmus Cove, Two Harbors, and two nights on a mooring at Avalon. While at Isthmus Cove the Latitudes and Attitudes magazine annual cruisers celebration/seminars was happening, so we took advantage of some networking, feasting and drinking. Weather was cool, gray, (and raining at Avalon).

Firefly joined us during our second night at Isthmus Cove and then followed us over to Avalon. Now that summer is over, Avalon is a pretty quiet place to wander around. We browsed a few of the shops, found some cheap margaritas, and stocked up on a few groceries at the mini “Von’s.”
