2007_04_21_Santa Cruz Channel Island Camping

Jeff and I went out to Santa Cruz Island for a night of camping, some hiking, and some beer drinking. We took a boat out of Ventura, which dropped us off for the night. We showed up (late, after Jeff's car overheated) with backpacking gear and when we arrived to get on the boat, everyone else had car camping gear, including coolers full of beer! Luckily, our neighbors were friendly and had lots of extra!

Pictures from a boat trip out to Catalina Island. We arrived the night before for a trip out to San Clemente Island to play with a bunch of sea lions. We loaded up our gear, drank a bunch of gear, then woke up at Catalina Island. They had attempted the trip out to the Channel Islands, but shortly after leaving the harbor decided against it, due to high winds and choppy conditions. We got in three dives.
