Catalina run

[HB Vic]

Let's not forget when you're running perpendicular to the swells and drop into it where all you see is towering grey water to your left and right as you run on the bottom.

Now you're trying to scare her. I didn't want to say anything about the possible 6-8' swells. But you're right, when you're little (relatively speaking) boat is at the bottom of the swell, the top of the swell looks like monster title waves. But then you usually, almost always, come out of them and then things are usually ok.

Well the great thing about all this is I can take the Catalina Express back if I feel my life is at risk, sucka!!!

If you get there, absolutely you can take the Express back. Its a real nice, big, safe, boat

Just curious, but how fast do you guys normally run when you're out there?

I'll have to let Menace answer that. This is my first time ever going to Catalina and in a boat driving across the ocean where you don't see any land. I think it would be in my best interest to drink a little something before heading out on the maiden voyage.

A good way to prepare is by getting your sea legs early. Just take the smallest raft you have, throw it in your pool, and stand on it for a couple hours while Tay throws water balloons at you. Then slam a few Fireballs and a small bottle of Vodka and you'll be all set to go. But be sure to take a couple of large freezer bags with you. Keep them close. And a bit of sailor advice that was given to me when I started flying, take a few bananas with you. Bananas taste the same coming out, as they did going down

Yeah you're right. The small boat I was talking about was a 60' Viking. Hope the boat she is on is bigger than that! It can get rough out there.

As fast as possible. Unfortunately when you lose an engine on the way there due to it being so rough that the radio head unit falls backwards through the dash and takes out the starboard motor wires, sometimes you have to go slow. This happened on my last trip on LHC30's Advantage. Fortunately it was an easy fix after getting into Avalon. We tried to rewire while running but the minute you went into the midcabin, you'd feel sick.

Drinking so much that you Chum the water is a great way to attract sharks.

If Big swells are like BIG BOOBS I think I'll like it.
