What this video covers

Triteia departs Parsons Landing on Catalina Island and sails to Big Geiger Cove, bypassing Doctor's Cove due to existing boat traffic and dive floats.3:47 At Big Geiger Cove, the crew anchors in 20 feet of water with a 5:1 scope and deploys a stern line to the rocks to orient the vessel into the swell.7:55 The anchorage features good holding in sand with minimal kelp, though the proximity to the Isthmus results in frequent wake from passing powerboats.17:24 During a shore excursion, the crew hikes to view Howland's Landing and nearby coves, including Little Geiger Cove and Eel Cove.10:37 The anchorage provides protection from the prevailing winds that frequently impact Cat Harbor.16:55 A stern anchor setup effectively manages the swell in this shallow, protected cove.
