A 47-nautical-mile passage from Avalon, Catalina Island, to Oceanside, California, in April 2018 requires careful monitoring of a small craft advisory and shifting wind patterns.2:21 The skipper of a cutter-rigged sailboat coordinates with a buddy boat, *Ohana*, while navigating the southbound coast-wide shipping lane.4:25 AIS and radar are used to track commercial traffic, including the 748-foot tanker *Cabo Fuji*, which passes two and a half miles ahead.5:20 The crew motor-sails through light winds and head seas, eventually deploying a staysail and Genoa to maintain a 4.5 to 5-knot speed as the wind shifts to the west.16:02 During the transit, a security vessel intercepts both boats to conduct a routine check in the U.S. exclusive economic zone.9:58 The passage concludes with a calm arrival at the Oceanside harbor entrance, where the skipper secures a slip assignment via the harbor office.18:20 Motor-sailing allows for consistent progress against unfavorable winds, while AIS and radar provide essential situational awareness when crossing busy shipping lanes.
