8/17/2010 - C-Brats Catalina Adventure 2010

Merry and I joined a group of C-Dory owners, C-Brats for their annual Catalina Adventure. Most of the group left from Marina del Rey yesterday, so Merry and I waited outside the Redondo Beach breakwater for the group to go by. During our wait we encountered a large oil slick that has been there for a couple of weeks now. We found the thick part. :(
Better encounters included a pod of dolphin with several juveniles. Merry spotted a black sea nettle with a chunk missing, then I spotted the likely culprit nearby, a mola mola.

We hiked to Cat Harbor, then over to the Two Harbors Campground to take photos of our little group.

It was a hot day for hiking. :)

We left at sunrise this morning, passing two tall ships on our way out of Two Harbors.
