After several days I dropped my mooring and set course for Little Harbor about 14 miles from Two Harbors around the west end of Catalina Island. The weather was great with light winds and long rolling swells around the end of the island. It is five miles to the west end  and when you round the end of the island give it a wide line to make sure you don't get in rough water because of the currents and shallow depth.

The water on this side of the island is exposed to the open sea and is always rougher with larger swells and wind waves, today it is running smooth with light swells.

The windward side of the island has fewer areas to anchor and is not traveled by a lot of boaters compared to the lee side of the island..
