HI THERE: Catalina in California

My wife and I have been sailing in and around Long Beach California since 85'. Our boat is a Westsail 28. We love to sail over to Catalina. A year ago was kind of a life changer for both of us. My wife got laid off from Boeing, and I had to fold my machine shop,(no work). However it turned out for the better.We sold our house, made a little bit on it and moved into a 55 and older community that is only 1 mile from the boat. We have no plans to do any long term cruising. But we do love to stay a couple of weeks over at Catalina. and in the summertime we pretty much live on the boat. Anyhow, HI to everyone, its good to be aboard .
