Recommended route from Alamitos Bay (Long Beach, CA) to Two Harbors (Catalina).
I’ll be sailing to Two Harbors from Alamitos Bay in a few days. If all goes according to plan I should leave my slip in the morning f before the wind really picks up.
I’ve sailed to Avalon a few times, but never to Two Harbors. Usually I’d sail North up the coast for an hour or so before tacking towards the island to get a good angle to Avalon.
With there likely being no wind that early in the morning, would all you experienced sailors recommend motoring a straight shot to Two Harbors and then putting the sails up and tacking as necessary on the way? Or do you think motoring up north towards PV and then cutting towards the island would be a better idea?
Trying to find the quickest and most efficient way to get there as I’m meeting my family. But I definitely would like to get some sailing in, and motoring the entire way would be a last resort.
Thanks
