Hi there,
Check out www.catalina.com for a lot of info on how to get there and what's avaliable when you arrive. Using the Google.com search engine will get you lots of Catalina Island related websites. I want to go too but I'm not going until I find out the mean current speeds on the leeward side of the island in January and Feburary with average tides and moderate wind close in-shore.
This information is hard to find! Now, I'm down to asking some of the shops there what's the scoop.
Catalina has some Winter storms called northeasters or something like that where the storm blows in from the east. That's promising! instead of getting blown out to sea, you'd be smashed, folded and stapled up against the shore or worse.
I ain't giving up and will continue planning.
Regards,
tsurikichi
