A Dana 24 sails from Dana Point to Avalon, Catalina Island, in July 2018, relying on AIS data to navigate the busy shipping lanes between the mainland and the island.8:30 The crew monitors mooring availability via the Avalon Harbor website while contending with a California ski race that complicates harbor traffic.3:30 After securing a mooring in Avalon, the crew snorkels in Lover's Cove before returning to the mainland the following day.10:08 The return passage begins with light winds requiring engine use, but conditions improve by midday, allowing for a reach under full canvas at speeds of five to six knots.18:59 The crew manages the crossing by adjusting waypoints and monitoring wind shifts, eventually encountering 20-knot winds upon returning to the Dana Point marina.22:53 The experience highlights the utility of AIS for tracking large commercial vessels in the San Pedro Channel and the necessity of checking real-time mooring availability during peak weekend traffic.
