Mark sails his Valiant Yachts 40-2, Kildrager, single-handed from the mainland to Two Harbors, Catalina Island on Thursday, June 18th, 2026, departing into 15–16 knots of true wind in Hurricane Gulch.0:26 He carries full main and genoa on a heading of roughly 200–218 degrees, adding the staysail mid-passage when true wind drops to 13 knots and picking up nearly a knot of boat speed.1:57 An informal race develops with Vanishing Point, a Beneteau Far 57 with an electric furler that fails mid-passage — a breaker issue requiring a trip to the sail locker — illustrating the complication of push-button systems when they malfunction.4:01 Kildrager arrives first at Isthmus Cove, anchoring at 96.9 (scope or position marker), with Vanishing Point arriving shortly after.11:45 The anchorage proves extremely rolly both nights, with Ron on Lorena reporting 20-degree rolls; the east end of Two Harbors is noted as rougher than the west end.12:27 The return passage Saturday morning uses 14–15.5 knots off the beam under main and genoa at 6–7 knots, with two shipping-lane crossings managed via AIS — cargo ship Siu Shin and towboat Geronimo towing a barge on roughly 400 meters of line, invisible in the water without AIS.17:07 AIS is essential for identifying tow configurations that are nearly impossible to read visually at distance.20:25
